As a member of the League of Women Voters (LWV), a 102 year old nonpartisan organization that encourages the informed and active participation of citizens in government, this is my “busy season.” With my LWV colleagues, all volunteers, I speak to groups, answer countless questions, organize and moderate debates, and write articles; all as outreach during election season. Additionally, we encourage all citizens to vote responsibly in every election in which they are eligible, whether that be fire districts, libraries, school districts, local, state or federal. Your vote is your voice and I urge you to use it this Election Day, Tuesday, November 8th. Below is some significant information to keep in mind:

• Be sure you are registered to vote prior to heading to the polls.

• Because of redistricting, mandated by the US Constitution after the (2020) census, some of your district numbers may have changed! You can find your polling place easily on the NYS Board of Elections (BOE) website at www.voterlookup. elections.ny.gov. If you don’t have access to the internet, go to your local public library, where you can find assistance to get on one of their computers. Your information is private.

• You may have applied for an absentee ballot. If you plan to vote this way, the same website allows you to track your ballot to be sure it’s been received and will be counted by your county’s BOE. With a new tracking system now in place, if you have applied for an absentee ballot, but you decide you’d rather vote in person, you will not be able to cast your vote in a machine during early voting or on Election Day. Instead, you’ll be given an “affidavit ballot” and the BOE will check your records

to confirm whether or not your absentee ballot was received. This is to ensure no one’s vote is counted twice.

• This year you’ll be voting for your local member of the House of Representatives, one US Senator, NYS Governor and Lt. Governor and your local member of the NYS Senate and NYS Assembly. In Suffolk County, you’ll also vote for County Comptroller and County Clerk. There may be some local races on the ballot too.

• There is a NYS Environmental Bond proposition on the back of your ballot. If approved, this would allow the NYS Comptroller to issue and sell $4.2million in bonds to be used to fund environmental protection, natural restoration, resiliency, and clean energy projects. This is not a tax, investors buy NYS bonds.

• Suffolk County also has a countywide proposition clarifying the wording of the term limits law and four Suffolk townships have local propositions too. Nassau does not have a county proposition on this year’s ballot.

Please plan ahead; learn about the candidates and know what’s on your ballot. You can visit www.vote411. org, enter your address (no need for your name or personal info) and you will see the offices, candidates, and propositions that will be on the ballot.

All candidates were sent questions and given the opportunity to answer them on the site; sometimes candidates refuse to respond, this is indicated. No one ever should be too busy, too disinterested or even too frustrated to vote. Your vote is your hard-earned right, but also your obligation as an American citizen.

Town Partners With Community Group To Collect Peanut Butter

Oyster Bay Town Supervisor Joseph Saladino and Councilman Tom Hand announced that the Town will partner with the Massapequa Farmingdale Men’s Club to host a peanut butter collection drive. Residents are invited to donate new, unopened and sealed peanut butter to help replenish local food pantries and support families in need. Dropoff containers are located at Town Halls North and South, as well as at the Town Ice Skating Center.

“We are proud to partner with this great organization to help ‘spread the love’ and stock local food pantry shelves with this very popular product,” said Supervisor Saladino. “Peanut butter has a long shelf life, provides many nutrients and doesn’t require refrigeration,

making it among the most highly requested items from local food banks. We thank the Massapequa Farmingdale Men’s Club for again putting our local communities first with another wonderful initiative to help others.”

The Massapequa Farmingdale Men’s Club mission is to provide and encourage involvement in education, charitable and social programs for the men of local communities, and to support the local and wider community with activities and

contributions.

“The MassapequaFarmingdale Men’s Club has been assisting local foodbanks for more than five years, especially during the most trying times at the height of the COVID pandemic,” said Councilman Hand. “Like all of the organization’s endeavors, proceeds from this event go entirely to help those in need.”

The Peanut Butter Collection Drive will run through November 15th.

Senator John E. Brooks (SD-8) presented a funding award of $300,000 to the State University of New York at Farmingdale –Farmingdale State College (SUNY Farmingdale) – to support an infrastructure project currently underway to address campus security issues and to improve communication and emergency preparedness training to ensure the safety and security of its faculty, staff, and students.

In response to a spate of national gun violence tragedies – and in the event that such an attack were to occur on its grounds –Farmingdale State College (FSC) administration conducted town-hall forums, shelter-in-place training exercises, and tabletop scenarios, over the course of 18 months, to assess campus emergency preparedness.

FSC leadership prioritized soliciting feedback regarding opportunities for improvement or any areas of potential risk.

As a result of feedback provided, FSC is undertaking a comprehensive initiative to evaluate security in offices, classrooms, and laboratories in all of its campus buildings – with the proposed project including risk assessment, gap analysis of existing infrastructure, purchase and installation of locking mechanisms with improved functionality, and acquisition of hard-wired key-card access assemblies that will not only improve access control but will also provide key information in the event of a crime or other

STATE COLLEGE RECEIVES

$300,000 GRANT - Senator John E. Brooks (SD8) presented a funding award of $300,000 to the State University of New York at Farmingdale – Farmingdale State College (SUNY Farmingdale) – to support an infrastructure project currently underway to address campus security issues and to improve communication and emergency preparedness training to ensure the safety and security of its faculty, staff, and students.

incident on campus. A strong advocate for gun violence reduction and prevention, Senator Brooks understood and shared the sense of urgency shown by FSC leaders in addressing these infrastructure concerns remarking, “These improvements will be vital in the ongoing effort to ensure the safety and security of faculty, staff, and students at Farmingdale State College. As we have unfortunately seen time and time again, there is a horrible gun violence epidemic sweeping our nation. Sadly, as we just recently saw in Uvalde, many of these tragedies could have been prevented if the appropriate steps had been taken to allow our public institutions to upgrade their security features to provide a

safe and secure environment for all. After hearing about the steps that FSC leadership was undertaking to ensure that safety of its students and faculty, I was determined to do all I could to help, so it was an absolute honor to return to my alma mater and present this funding grant to FSC President Dr. John S. Nader.”

The proposed project, coupled with continued communication and emergency preparedness training, will address interior security challenges, including purchasing new hardware for doorways unable to lock from the inside as well as replacing any wireless key-card access systems with hard-wired mechanisms.

Upon receiving the funding grant on behalf of FSC, Nader reflected, “Thanks to Senator John Brooks’ efforts, we have made great strides in making one of America’s safest campuses even more safe. Senator Brooks has been a tireless advocate for the College and for college students. As always, we appreciate his work.”

Advance Care Plans

The United States population is rapidly aging. According to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), by 2030, the number of Americans aged 65 and older will more than double to 71 million older Americans, comprising

roughly 20 percent of the U.S. population.

With age comes the added burden of dealing with illnesses such as heart failure, dementia and cancer, any one of which can leave you unable to make decisions involving

your care. Unless you have a plan in place, the burden will fall on your family.

Protect your loved ones from having to make life and death decisions on your behalf by developing an advance care plan today.

Helping You Help Others

The Charity of the Month for October is Helen Keller Services

Helen Keller Services (HKS), a nonprofit organization with locations across Long Island and the nation, works with thousands of individuals who are blind, have low vision, are DeafBlind or have combined hearing and vision loss to live, work and thrive in their community of choice.

October is National Disability Employment Awareness Month, which celebrates the contributions of America’s workers with disabilities past and present and showcases supportive, inclusive employment policies and practices.

Helen Keller Services, located in Port Washington, recently held its 3rd annual National Disability Employment Awareness Month (NDEAM) event, celebrating The US Department of Labor’s theme, “Disability: Part of the Equity Equation”, recognizing the vital role people with disabilities play in making the nation’s workforce diverse and inclusive.

“Accessibility to job opportunities affects everyone and should be integral to hiring practices, and not just an afterthought,” said Joseph Melillo, National Business & Employment Relations Specialist at Helen Keller Services. “With equal access, people who are blind, have low vision, or are DeafBlind can unlock their inner ability.”

Highlights of the event included a keynote address from Kathy West-Evans, Director of Business Relations, Council of State Administrators of Vocational Rehabilitation (CSAVR)/ National Employment Team (NET), and experts who spoke about disability inclusion, use of technology and the talents of the DeafBlind community in the workplace.

“The DeafBlind community is just like the rest of us; they simply communicate differently. And like the rest of us, they have unique gifts and talents to share that can

make our world a more diverse and vibrant place to work and live,” said Sue Ruzenski, CEO of Helen Keller Services.

Every year, Helen Keller Services spotlights companies that work with the DeafBlind community at its Access-Ability Awards, held in June.

“We recognize leaders who have made it their business to take action and advance accessibility within their companies or organizations and for the people they serve,” said Sue Ruzenski, CEO of Helen Keller Services. “We continue to make progress towards greater accessibility and inclusivity for and among the communities we work with, but there is still a great deal more of work to be done.”

If you would like to get involved with this organization, there are various opportunities to do so! HKS is actively hiring for multiple positions and they’re also accepting new volunteers. Your HKS experience, whether through a paid or volunteer position, will no doubt be rewarding on a personal level. As a volunteer, you’ll have the opportunity to make meaningful connections with blind or DeafBlind individuals, helping to enhance their quality of life and to expand their social circles. Additionally, you can donate to HKS anytime on their website.

To learn more about Helen Keller Services, including their employment, volunteer and donation opportunities, please visit their website, www.helenkeller.org.

Oyster Bay Town Supervisor Joseph Saladino, Councilwoman Michele Johnson, Councilman Lou Imbroto and Receiver of Taxes Jeff Pravato took to the waters off TOBAY Marina on the Town’s south shore to help replenish the shellfish supply by adding 2 million baby clam seedlings to the Great South Bay.

“We are pleased to officially bring our highly successful seeding program to south shore waters, as we disperse these seeds that were grown right in our own Shellfish Hatchery. Programs like this not only enhance water quality, they help bolster

the local economy and improve the resiliency of our coastal communities,” said Supervisor Saladino.

The Supervisor explained that the seedlings are just 2 millimeters in size when they first start out in the Town’s Shellfish Hatchery. From there, they move from those specialized tanks into a FLUPSY – a Floating Upweller System –which protects the young shellfish as they continue to grow and mature. From just 2 millimeters, those seedlings reached 15-20 millimeters, an ideal size for seeding the waterways. Those seedlings are placed strategically to help repopulate the shellfish

harvesting population but also effectively clean and filter the waterways.

“This great environmental initiative preserves the quality, resiliency and natural beauty of our waterways, and we’re so proud to have expanded this program so much over the past few years on both shores of our Town,” said Councilwoman Johnson. “We’ve successfully placed more than 10 million shellfish into our waterways each year, thanks largely in part to our great Shellfish Hatchery, helping to strengthen the local economy and keep our waters clean.”

On The 80th Anniversary Of The Sherman Tank, The Museum Of American Armor Seeks Those Who Crewed These Legendary Vehicles

On the 80th anniversary of the iconic Sherman tank that spearheaded America’s liberation of Europe during World War II, the Museum of American Armor is seeking to honor those veterans who crewed these legendary vehicles along their families.

The Armor Museum has put out an “All Points Bulletin” for Sherman tank families to join the Armor Museum in observing the milestone anniversary on Thursday, November 10th at 12 Noon, on the eve of Veterans Day 2022.

E. Brooks (SD-8) was proud to present a funding grant of $10,000 to the Long Island Council on Alcoholism and Drug Dependence, Inc. (LICADD) to support their Student Assistance Program (SAP).

Armor Museum’s founder and president Lawrence Kadish stated, “The Armor Museum continues to offer a powerful presentation that keeps alive the legacy of our nation’s military and the gift of freedom they have given all of us. The Sherman tank is an important part of that story and so we are asking tanker veterans or their survivors to come forward and help us preserve their legacy.”

In recognition of its considerable importance, the Armor Museum’s

“You can’t effectively tell the story of American courage during World War II without this particular tank on operational display,” observed Mr. Kadish.

Some 50,000 Sherman tanks were built by nearly a dozen different manufacturers during World War II, making them available to the Allies as well as American forces fighting in Europe and the Pacific. While not as well armed as its German opponents, the Sherman proved to be reliable, relatively fast, and

Save Water

The U.S. Environ-mental Protection Agency’s (EPA’s) WaterSense program is encouraging home-owners to find and fix leaks to save more than 10 percent on utility bills now and help save water for future generations. For more information and tips about how to save water, visit www.epa.gov/water sense.

Michael Sapraicone, Senior Armor Museum Trustee said, “This museum is a unique commitment by public and private sectors to preserve and present a seminal chapter in the history of our world that is still defining current events around the globe. But to put that in perspective, we need to hear from our Sherman veterans and their families as we pay tribute to a weapon that was manned by brave Americans nearly a century ago.”

Sherman veterans or their families are invited to reach out to the museum through its web site, www. museumofamericanarmor. com to confirm their attendance.
