Did You Know? According to the home improvement resource HomeAdvisor, adding square footage to a home can cost homeowners anywhere from $7,000 to $100,000. When adding square footage to a home, homeowners may need to knock down an interior wall or walls, the cost of which can vary widely depending on the walls being knocked down. Loadbearing walls are needed to support the home, and while such walls can be removed, homeowners may need to hire structural engineers at additional cost to orchestrate such removals. In addition, homeowners can expect to pay more when knocking down walls that contain ducts or electrical wiring. It also can be costly for homeowners whose homes are old to knock down walls. HomeAdvisor notes that the wall-removal process in old homes that contain lead paint or lathand-plaster walls is more intricate and may cost homeowners more money.

A 4th grade student from the Plainview-Old Bethpage Central School District is helping a local Plainview nursing home fight the battle against COVID-19. Rebecca Wallenstein has found a way to reach out and help others while remaining at home, adhering to social distancing imperatives while schools are closed. The Pasadena Elementary School student started making masks for health care providers and nursing home residents to help prevent them from contracting the virus. “Rebecca is such a bright young student and the school is incredibly proud of her hard work during these uncertain times,”
said Dr. Lorna Lewis, Superintendent of the Plainview-Old Bethpage Central School District. “We are delighted by her work inside and outside of the classroom. She is a light in all of the darkness we are facing, and this is a great way to bring the community together while we all practice social distancing.” Rebecca has a longstanding love for sewing— she even asked her parents for a sewing machine for her eighth birthday. She has taken lessons and spent time at summer camp perfecting her craft. For this particular activity, Rebecca worked with her mother in an assembly line fashion. Her mother pinned all of the
masks and Rebecca sewed them together. Rebecca is calling her project the I Love Eva Law, after her grandmother and Governor Cuomo’s Matilda’s Law. She has expressed that she would like to continue crafting these face masks for her friends and neighbors who are in need of them to prevent the spread of COVID-19. For more information about the PlainviewOld Bethpage Central School District, please visit the District’s website at www.pobschools.org.

Who Are Your “Toilet Paper & Paper Towels?” As we still find ourselves enduring this pandemic, we are slowly yet surely seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. T h e r e is talk of re-opening businesses, heightened anxiety seems to be diminishing and the curve has begun to flatten. My thoughts and prayers remain with those in need, as well as those serving on the frontlines. We will continue to stand strong and one day this pandemic will fully be behind us.
This past week, our Publisher was able to purchase toilet paper and paper towels in bulk. He kindly left a large stash of these items in our office and let each employee know that they can take some home as needed. It was a selfless gesture and people appreciated it. However, when I got home I chuckled at the thought of it! Who would have thought that toilet paper and paper towels would ever be viewed as hot items and that employees would get excited over the distribution of paper products? Not me!
thought to these items before this pandemic, yet I use them everyday. Life would be difficult without them, yet I have only recently started to appreciate them now that they are hard to find. It’s just like the old saying, “You don’t know what you’ve got until it’s gone.” If we change our thought process from items to people, which two people in your life do you rely on everyday? Who are your “toilet paper and paper towels?” Sometimes the people we love and rely on the most are the people we take most for granted.
As I take a few moments to reflect on who would be my “toilet paper and paper towels”, I find it’s hard to just choose two. There are so many people who I truly lean on, respect, love and treasure. Just like with those paper products, there are moments where I forget just how important they are to me.
So as we continue on, let us all take a moment to pinpoint who our “toilet paper and paper towels” The thought of toilet paper are and let them know just and paper towels as such how cherished they are. precious commodities got me thinking.

Syosset based real estate developer, Blumenfeld Development Group, (BDG) provided hot meals to dedicated healthcare professionals, who are working around the clock at Northwell Health’s Cohen’s Children Medical Center Blumenfeld Pavilion. The meals, prepared by La Parma in Woodbury, were distributed to the medical staff in the Rudolph Emergency Department, Long Island’s only pediatric emergency
facility. “Our healthcare professionals are heroes especially during this challenging time,” said Ed Blumenfeld, President, Blumenfeld Development Group. “We know there is no way to repay these brave men and women for everything they are doing to keep us safe, but we can try to lessen their stress by donating meals and saying ‘lunch is on us.’” Blumenfeld added, “To healthcare workers
everywhere, we salute you. Long Island recognizes your outstanding work and we cannot thank you enough.” The Blumenfeld Pavilion, long a symbol of the Blumenfeld’s long standing healthcare philanthropy, is also home to the Children’s Medical Fund Center for Diagnostic Studies, the only pediatric-dedicated MRI unit on Long Island, and is the future home of the Pediatric Surgical Operating Complex.

Guardians Of Rescue Is Struggling To Help The Animals Most of us are aware of the toll that the pandemic is having on humans around the country, and even around the world. Yet the economic impacts are being felt beyond humans. The animals are being impacted in numerous ways through this situation, leaving some animal rescue organizations to struggle in being able to provide their services. Guardians of Rescue has had an increase in dogs to care for, while their financial stability to do so declines. Guardians of Rescue is overwhelmed with the hardest hit people who can’t feed their pets and taking in abandoned animals left to fend for themselves which has become a big problem. Now, they are now turning to the people and asking that their organization be rescued amid the pandemic. “We have been providing our rescue services for over 10 years, but now we are struggling to keep our organization going,” explains Robert Misseri, president of Guardians of Rescue, an animal rescue organization. “We are in jeopardy because of the perfect storm that this pandemic has created for organizations such as ours. Many people are living paycheck to paycheck so pets are in trouble.” The pandemic has impacted Guardians of Rescue and other animal shelters in a variety of ways, including: Due to so many people having their employment impacted by the virus, donations to the organization are down. This makes it difficult for them
to continue feeding the animals, building doghouses, taking in new rescues, and trying to cover all their expenses. Some rescue organizations are seeing adoptions and fosters up but this is because people are homebound right now. This leaves the shelters worried about what will happen to the animals when people go back to work. There are some people who fear for their own well-being and financial stability, which motivates them to drop their pets off at the rescue shelter. They feel they can’t adequately take care of their pets during this time, so they surrender them, putting more strain on shelters. Many shelters have to cancel fundraising events that usually bring in a lot of money to fund their programs. Additionally, some shelters offer spring break camps as a fundraising tool, and those had to be canceled due to the pandemic. Many rescue organizations and shelters are trying to help people care for their pets by providing them with food. This helps to keep the person from surrendering the animals to the shelter or rescue organization. Food donations to many shelters are down, simply because people are focused on their own families and are staying home. This leaves shelters scrambling to try to come up with enough money and food to continue feeding all of the animals, as well as providing them with any medical care they may need. “The pandemic has
created a host of problem for the animals,” says Misseri. “I hope that we can make it through this difficult time, so that we can continue to help the animals in need. Our programs have helped countless animals including military members. Without the support of the community, we will not survive and we cannot help the animals who so desperately need our assistance.” To help support Guardians of Rescue, make a donation online: https:// guardiansofrescue.org/ donate/. Guardians of Rescue provides assistance to animals out on the streets and investigates animal cruelty cases. They are located in New York, but they help animals in many places around the country. They are also instrumental in helping military members with their pets. To learn more, get involved, or to make a donation to support the Guardians of Rescue, log onto www. guardiansofrescue.org. About Guardians of Rescue Based in New York, Guardians of Rescue is an organization whose mission is to protect the well-being of all animals. They provide aid to animals in distress, including rehabilitation, assisting other rescue groups, and providing support to families, both military and not, who need assistance due to economic factors.

Serve up homemade salsa this Cinco de Mayo
M
uch like St. Patrick’s Day is celebrated by people with no trace of Irish heritage, Cinco de Mayo has become a day of celebration for people who do not trace their ancestry to Mexico. In fact, History.com notes that Cinco de Mayo is a relatively minor holiday in Mexico, where the day commemorates a symbolic yet not significantly strategic win by a heavily outnumbered Mexican army over French forces sent by Napoleon III to establish an empire on Mexican land. In the United States, Cinco de Mayo has become a day to commemorate Mexican culture, including its much-loved cuisine.
Food is front and center at many Cinco de Mayo celebrations. Those who simply want to enjoy some homemade Mexican fare this Cinco de Mayo can try their hands at this recipe for “Fiery Corn Salsa” from Kelley Cleary Coffeen’s “200 Easy Mexican Recipes” (Robert Rose).
FIERY CORN SALSA Makes 2 cups 1⁄4 3
tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
2
NASSAU ZONE 2 - NEIGHBOR NEWSPAPERS - WEDNESDAY APRIL 29, 2020 • www.southbaysneighbor.com
cup olive oil
teaspoons minced fresh cilantro
3
tomatoes, seeded and diced
2
to 3 jalapeño peppers, seeded
11⁄2
cups corn kernels and diced
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
DIRECTIONS In a large bowl, combine oil, lime juice and cilantro. Add tomatoes, corn and jalapeño to taste. Mix well until corn mixture is well coated. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Transfer to an airtight container and refrigerate, stirring occasionally, for 1 hour or up to 2 days. TIP In place of the corn kernels, you can used canned corn, drained; frozen corn, thawed; or corn from the cob, cooked on the stove top. For a smoky flavor, use corn grilled on the barbecue grill.

inco de Mayo celebrates the 1862 defeat of the French by the Mexican army at the Battle of Puebla. That battle occurred during the Franco-Mexican War, which was an invasion of Mexico launched by the French in 1861. The French invaded Mexico as a result of newly elected Mexican President Benito Juarez's decision to suspend interest payments on loans the country took out from foreign countries. France was one such creditor, but the French were not the only country to send troops to Mexico in response to Juarez's decision. Spain and Great Britain also sent troops to Veracruz, but both countries entered negotiations with Mexico and ultimately
withdrew their forces. However, France, under the leadership of Napoleon III, wanted to ensure access to Latin American markets. The French naval fleet's arrival in Veracruz forced President Juarez and his government to retreat. Months later, Juarez's force of 2,000 squared off against 6,000 French troops at the Battle of Puebla. Despite being heavily outnumbered, the Mexican forces claimed victory, losing fewer than 100 men while French casualties numbered nearly 500. While the victory itself did not prove a major win in the war against the French, it symbolized the strength of the Mexican people and served to strengthen the resistance movement. Cinco de Mayo is a minor holiday in Mexico, but has grown into a popular celebration of Mexican culture in the United States.

Fast And Fresh Burgers People are always on the lookout for delicious dishes that are easily cooked on the grill. Burgers are a staple of grilling season. Burgers might be relatively simple, but that does not mean they have to be ordinary. Switching up the main ingredient (i.e., the ground meat) used as the basis for burgers is an easy way to add a new flavor profile to this familiar dish. Turkey is a versatile ingredient that can be flavored in many different ways with spices and other ingredients to add punch to turkey’s relatively mild taste. “Turkey Burgers with Mango Salsa” from “Taste of Home Healthy Cooking Cookbook” (Taste of Home Books) by the editors of Taste of Home adds a tropical spin to classic cookout menus. This recipe also offers a special treat by way of a spreadable cheese nestled right in the heart of the burger patties. Turkey Burgers with Mango Salsa Makes 6 servings

Did you know? According to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, cooks should avoid reusing plates or utensils used to prepare raw meat, poultry or seafood for serving. Even if the plates only momentarily came into contact with uncooked food, they should be thoroughly washed in hot, soapy water after coming into contact with raw foods. Bacteria from the raw juices of food can easily spread to cooked or ready-toeat foods, potentially
contributing to illness. The FDA recommends cooks keep clean platters and utensils next to their grills that they can use to serve food. In addition, if using a bristle brush to clean cooking surfaces prior to firing up the grill, inspect the brush to make sure it’s clean and that the bristles do not still contain any specks of food or other foreign objects from a previous grilling session. Once the grill has been cleaned, make sure none of the bristles fell off and onto the grill.

Headbands For Health Care Workers
NASSAU ZONE 2 - NEIGHBOR NEWSPAPERS - WEDNESDAY APRIL 29, 2020 • www.southbaysneighbor.com
Katie Corcoran, a fourth grade student from Kramer Lane Elementary School in the Bethpage School District, has been sewing buttons onto headbands for health care workers, which helps to alleviate the pressure of wearing masks. When Katie heard that
health care workers were in pain due to their masks, she was wanted to help. “Making the headbands makes me feel happy because it’s helping people feel more comfortable,” Katie said. “They’re working so hard trying to make all the sick people
better and they shouldn’t be in pain.” Katie raised funds for materials and has since donated 200 headbands to health care workers in more than a dozen hospitals on Long Island.
Catholic Elementary Schools High Technology and Strong Faith Working Together
The highly unusual circumstances of the COVID-19 outbreak, and subsequent shutting down of much of society, has helped to identify the things that really matter in our lives. The unique circumstances have tested our abilities to leverage the wealth of technologies that Catholic Elementary Schools have invested in, and tested the partnership between parents and educators. The families and students in our school communities have found comfort from the close relationship each has with their faith, and with each other, in the uncertainty introduced by the global pandemic. Academically, each student in a Catholic school was already a user of the Google apps for education (the Google G-Suite) and each student has a Google account that they can access from any
device, anywhere they can access the Internet. In the days leading up to the closing of the schools, the schools made sure that every student had access to a suitable device to continue their learning remotely, and loaned devices to students who needed them. Faculty responded quickly, with teachers ‘translating’ lesson plans to make them engaging and effective when presented online. Pastors and Principals orchestrated the activities and began each new day with morning announcements, a morning prayer, and the pledge of allegiance. School days continued, uninterrupted, right down to the acknowledgement of students celebrating birthdays. The tight communities around our schools worked together to maintain a sense of normalcy for the students.
As the schools and students enter another week, with the technical and educational challenges under control, students are completing and sharing projects online, they are seeing and interacting with their classmates in online forums. Students are attending Liturgies and prayer services online, and their schools have even begun to bring their art and music classes to them via Skype, Zoom and Google. The things that have always made Catholic school special all remain intact – and the warmth, love and support of these beautiful faith communities has never been more important. You can follow the daily progress in Long Island’s Catholic Elementary Schools on Facebook @ CatholicElementary or @drvcdoe. You can also find us on Instagram and Twitter.

Students Virtually Tour Historical French Sites
Foreign language teacher Kristin Jaklitsch from John F. Kennedy Middle School in the Bethpage School District is taking her seventh grade French students on a virtual field trip to visit some of France’s most historic sites. Following an early March trip to Quebec, Canada, Ms. Jaklitsch’s class was eager to continue the cultural
activities that connect them further with the French language. In order to do this, Ms. Jaklitsch took advantage of the many virtual tours being offered during school closures. Using QR codes, her students will visit famous French monuments, such as the Eiffel Tower and the Louvre, on their digital devices. They will then complete a worksheet with
North Shore Animal League America Conducting Adoptions By Appointment Only
specific questions on each location. “In the new virtual setting, I want to try to incorporate more culture into my lessons,” said Ms. Jaklitsch. “While it’s important to learn and use the French language, I also firmly believe students should have a sense of appreciation for the culture behind the language.”

How Does The New Coronavirus Affect You And Your Pets?
Pet owners can rest easy that there is no reason to believe that dogs or cats in the United States might be a source of infection for the new coronavirus disease — COVID-19 — or cause its spread according to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) in Atlanta, Georgia. And so far, according to the CDC, there have been no reports of pets becoming sick with COVID-19. This coronavirus appears to be primarily transmitted from human to human. As a pet owner, you may have heard of canine coronavirus, an intestinal infection in dogs, especially puppies, and feline coronavirus, which can cause feline infectious peritonitis (FIP). These types of coronaviruses have been around for quite some time and are not associated with the current outbreak. To protect yourself, your family, and possibly even

conditions with some going to our area shelter partners,) we have also placed more than 30 animals into foster homes. During this time, the Alex Lewyt Veterinary Medical Center will remain open to see sick patients and emergency cases only. While we are doing adoptions by appointment, NSALA’s Adoption Center is temporarily closed to the general public in accordance with New York State Governor Andrew Cuomo’s statewide directives and to control the number of people in the Adoption Center at any one time. If you are interested in fostering an animal, please visit: https:// www.animalleague.org/ get-involved/foster-careprogram/ We will continue to keep the public informed on our status through our website,
your pets, from this new coronavirus, you should follow these precautions: • Frequently wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water (use hand sanitizer with more than 60 percent alcohol if you can’t wash) • Avoid close contact with people who are sick—stay at least three feet away • Cover your mouth/ nose with a tissue when you cough or sneeze, then throw away the used tissues and wash your hands • Stay at home if you are sick • Sanitize often-used surfaces in your home and office If you do become sick with COVID-19, how then should you care for your pet? The CDC recommends that you restrict contact with pets and other animals just as you would with people. Ask another member of your
household to care for your pets while you are sick. If you must do it yourself, wash your hands before and after you interact and wear a facemask. The toughest part for pet lovers is that you must remember that you really should not be petting, snuggling, or sharing kisses or food with your pet! - Submitted by North Shore Animal League America www.animalleague. org Updates to this information can be found on the websites below: Centers for Disease Control https://www.cdc.gov/ coronavirus/2019-ncov/ summary.html World Small Animal Veterinary Association https://wsava.org/wpcontent/uploads/2020/02/ COVID-19_WSAVAAdvisory-DocumentFeb-29-2020.pdf
Happy Mother’s Day! Stay Safe Everyone! “We first reached out to Diana Lambert and Seventh Street Music about 4 years ago. Until then, our son had been taking piano lessons from several local teachers but we had to travel to their houses and sometimes spent more time on the road than with the actual lesson. After being unable to find a teacher locally who would support Level 5 and 6 NYSSMA, it was time to look for a new teacher. We found Diana’s Music Lessons online and Diana matched us up with Dian Torees. Dian comes to your house, supports 30, 45 or 60 minute lessons, will teach what the client wants and all for a very reasonable rate with discounts for multiple lesson plans. But it gets better, Dian was able to help my son achieve an Outstanding score on each of three NYSSMA solo competitions (one level 5 and two level 6). This gained him acceptance into the TRI M music honor society. Our son became so proficient that he was asked to accompany various choirs and coral ensembles at his High School in both his Junior and Senior years. Dian was as professional, accomodating and talented an instructor as you could ever wish for. Thanks to Diana and Dian for everything you did for us and especially for what you did for our son who will never forget you or stop playing piano!” ~ Edward & Anne Marie

Used Car Buying Online (NAPSI)—A recent study by Interactive Advertising Bureau shows that 96 percent of consumers begin their car search online. In fact, millennials spend as much as 12 to 13 hours researching cars
online before making the decision to buy. Buying a used car requires even more research and there are lots of places online to do so. Here are four points to help you avoid wasting
time. 1. Know what you want. Have a budget and clear idea of the type of car that’s right for you first. Use online reviews, too. Getting pulled off track will overcomplicate things.
2. Where you shop can be just as important as what you buy. Choose reputable websites and dealerships where vehicle history information is readily available. 3. Get a good handle on
what the car you’re looking at is worth. That way, you’ll know when a bargain looks too good to be true. 4. Find the cars you want and avoid the ones you don’t by starting your search using vehicle
history at Carfax.com. Choose 1-Owner, no reported accidents and more, plus every car there comes with a free Carfax Report.
