Students Have Lifesaving Knowledge Up Their Sleeves

It’s a skill they never hope they have to use, but 22 Massapequa High School students are well prepared if they come across a friend in alcohol distress. They are now part of the Red Watch Band, a group of high school and college students who have been given the knowledge, awareness and skills to prevent toxic drinking deaths.

The newest Red Watch

Band members were recognized at a ceremony on Feb. 7 in the Ames Campus library, where they received completion certificates, red wristbands and wallet cards with emergency steps. Students from grades 9-12 were welcome to sign up for the program, which has been in Massapequa for more than a decade.

Advisers Kim Hession and Joanne Waters, the

social workers at the Ames and main campuses, respectively, commended the students for taking this necessary step to help their peers. They explained that Red Watch Band members know how to identify a potential alcohol overdose and how to intervene to get someone help.

Students completed four hours of training, beginning with an hour-and-a-half alcohol information course

with Ms. Waters and Ms. Hession. A two-and-ahalf hour lifesaving skills course, including CPR and AED training, was led by physical education and health teacher Michael LaBella.

Ninth grader Elena Walsh said she had taken a CPR class in the past, and decided to take part in the Red Watch Band program to expand her lifesaving skill set. Renee Colletti said

this training increased her knowledge about the risks of alcohol consumption and also has her prepared to help someone in need.

Senior Kayla Elfenbein began the training when she was in ninth grade, but it was interrupted by pandemic. She was pleased to have an opportunity to finish the course an officially join the Red Watch Band.

“It’s a good life skill to

have in case something happens,” she said.

Red Watch Band started at Stony Brook University about 15 years ago to combat the more than 1,800 yearly preventable deaths among collegeage students from alcohol-related causes.

The Massapequa School District offers the training to students in partnership with the Massapequa Takes Action Coalition.

March 2023

Spring is almost here. January seemed like it had 49 days in it, and February went by pretty fast, and now we are in March. St Paddy’s Day will be here soon, Lacrosse and Baseball have already started, and we had our snowfall for the last days of February. Before you know it, we will have the Chamber’s Community Street Festival, and it will be summer.

Many big events are happening this spring. The Chamber will be participating in two fundraising walks at Marjorie Post Park - one for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society and the other for the Alzheimer’s Disease Resource Center. These will be great events for you to showcase your business and help some worthwhile causes. We will also be sponsoring a Taste of the Town event with local restaurants (and we have some of the best right here in the Massapequas!) This will serve as a fundraiser for the Massapequa Philharmonic Orchestra. The Chamber and many of our members are also sponsoring a free lifejacket giveaway for children at John J. Burns Park. I want to take this time to highlight that this is the 75th year of the Chamber of Commerce of the Massapequas. Because of the great leadership that I have followed, and the teamwork of our Chamber members and Board, we have not only survived 75 years - including the COVID shutdown - but we have thrived and exceeded over 250 members. In this 75th year and beyond, we will continue to provide rst-class education to local businesses, networking opportunities to meet potential referral partners, and ways for you to show off your business to the public.

This milestone wouldn’t have happened without the continued dedication of our Past Presidents - many of whom have stayed on our Board to ensure that their passion for giving back to the community and helping fellow business owners continues. Our Past Presidents who are still active on the Board include Robert R. Barrett, Denis Monette, Gary Slavin, Anthony Ventiera, Keith Wilson - and the unstoppable Patricia Orzano.

Patty is the heart and soul of the Chamber. For those of you who don’t know Patty, she owned the 7-Eleven on Merrick Road in Massapequa for over 30 years with her late husband Richard. She is our historian, chief fundraiser, and the Chamber mom. Patty makes sure that the Chamber stays true to our mission, gives back to the community, and keeps our traditions alive while we adapt to the modern world.

It is people like Patty who keep our community looking nice, with the many beauti cation projects that she helps lead as part of her many roles in our Chamber. The banners that you see on the telephone poles throughout Massapequa were her idea, and she has maintained them over the years, and takes responsibility for the fundraising to make sure they are in good condition and then changed out for the holiday season.

Every year, Patty leads a dedicated team of volunteers to make sure our Christmas Tree and Menorah Lighting Ceremony is funded. She also heads up the Toys for Tots Drive which is one of the largest on Long Island in cooperation with the 7-Eleven franchisees and company. Patty was named the Grand Marshal of the 2022 Massapequa Street Festival based on her outstanding contributions to this community, and the countless hours she volunteers to the Chamber and other organizations because of her love for the Massapequas. This message is dedicated to her, as she continues to ght her battle with cancer, while still doing all of these things mentioned above. We are always looking for more people to help with any of these projects, and you don’t have to be a Board Member to serve. The reward of giving back to the community will be very ful lling, and if Patty can do all of this while she is ghting the battle of her life - I hope we can get a few people to give up a few hours of their month to give her a hand.

Helping You Help Others

The Charity of the Month for March is Canine Companions®

Canine Companions

is a non-profit organization that enhances the lives of people by providing highly trained service dogs and ongoing support to ensure quality partnerships. They proudly o er their support services free of charge to recipients.

Clients come to Canine Companions because of their reputation, the quality of their dogs, the experience of their training sta and the desire to lead a life with greater independence. The organization is proud to have various chapters and training centers across our nation, with their Northeast Region (Long Island Chapter) located right here on Long Island, in Medford.

Did you know this non-profit runs a Veterans Initiative™? Through this initiative they place service dogs with veterans. Canine Companions’ expertly trained service dogs can perform physical tasks to enhance independence including opening doors, picking up prosthetics and alerting a veteran with hearing loss to important sounds in their environment. With the increase in veterans facing post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), Canine Companions launched a program in 2018 to directly place service dogs with veterans with PTSD. Dogs are trained to identify each veteran’s unique stressors and perform tasks that directly disrupt escalation of symptoms, thus enhancing their quality of life. The dog supports their handler in crowded public situations by creating barriers and distance that might provoke anxiety for individuals with PTSD. Additional tasks such as nightmare interruption, turning on lights and retrieving items are taught to support veterans’ daily lives.

“When I see a veteran with a Canine Companions service dog, it still gives me goosebumps,” said Colonel E. David Woycik Jr., a highly decorated retired Army O cer and an active Canine Companions Board Member. “I see the satisfaction these veterans get...

the fulfillment of their lives through these dogs. The service dogs are not just partners, they are their right hand, their left hand, their legs and more. We can’t pay the veterans back enough, and I’m proud to be part of an organization serving them.”

Mr. Woycik helped organize a Veterans Day event, Salute Independence , which awards local veterans who continue to serve their communities.

Thanks to his tireless work, this annual event has raised more than $500,000 in total so far to support the organization’s Veterans Initiative™.

Volunteers are warmly welcomed in other capacities as well, such as Front Desk Reception, General O ce Support, Puppy Transporter and Event Support, amongst other fields.

Assemblyman Michael Durso (R-Massapequa Park) joined highway crew members and highway superintendents from all corners of the state for a rally in Albany to increase funding in this year’s budget to repair and repave local streets, highways and culverts. The rally focused on funding for the Consolidated Local Street and Highway Improvement Program (CHIPS), which Gov. Hochul refused to increase in her executive budget proposal.

“As a former sanitation

worker and municipal employee, I’ve seen how hard our highway crews work, day and night, to keep up with the endless potholes and terrible conditions of our local streets. They’re doing their part and Albany needs to step up and do theirs,” Durso said.

The New York State Association of County Highway Superintendents and New York State Association of Town Superintendents of Highways, Inc. recently launched a ‘Local Roads are Essential’ advocacy

campaign which coincides with today’s effort by legislators.

“Our taxes are sky high and settling for deficient bridges and cracked highways is unacceptable. Our families deserve peace of mind commuting to work and our businesses need dependable infrastructure when transporting their goods to market. I am calling on Gov. Hochul and leaders in both houses to join us and increase CHIPS funding in this year’s budget,” Durso concluded.
