TAKING A LOOK BACK! This August I have been “taking a look back” at articles I have published in the past, giving various charities another chance at exposure. During these tough times, it is very important we continue to help others and support local charities where we can. Enjoy this past article about a wonderful non-profit, New Ground.

New Ground, based in Levittown, offers Veterans and families the following main programs to truly help them conquer homelessness: their Long Term Housing Program, their JumpStart Program and their Veterans Program. Their services include Adult Workshops, Career Development, Education Advocacy, Education Assistance, Financial Literacy, Reading All-Stars, Special Memories and Tutoring. Their Long Term Housing Program combines affordable housing with New Ground’s intensive services. Currently this includes a home in Huntington with two homeless Veteran families, a home in Bethpage under renovations and plans to add more housing units. For 3-5 years, New Ground provides all the needed educational, vocational and counseling services to the family members living in this housing, as well as basic needs and general support. Residents also take time with a social worker and put together a plan of how they can reach their goals. All residents pay an affordable rent and although New Ground assists them with various costs and hurdles they may face, they truly get the feeling of being a responsible homeowner.

A primary social worker is assigned to all families in both of these programs once they start with the organization. New Ground social workers provide guidance, resources and assistance to the families in various areas. The New Ground Veterans Program is another very important part to their organization. Homeless Veterans can get placed in reduced cost housing and be provided with intensive social work and education services by New Ground to assist them with achieving goals in the areas of employment, financial literacy, education, career development, parenting, basic life skills, education advocacy and more. In 2016 their services were expanded so they can serve an even greater number of Veteran households. Through collaboration with the Northport VA Center, New Ground began offering their programs to over 400 homeless Veteran households in their Veteran Affairs Supportive Housing Program. Since opening their doors, New Ground has seen over 80% of the families they have served “graduate” from their programs self sufficient and into permanent stable housing. New Ground empowers children, parents and Veterans to achieve their goals so that they can secure a brighter future for generations to come! New Ground is a huge help to the homeless community on Long Island and is there for those in need. If you would like to inquire about assistance from this organization, please call their office at 516.564.4764 or email Diane Serenita, their Director of Development and Events, at dserenita@ newground.org.

NORTH BABYLON - SOUTH BAY’S NEIGHBOR NEWSPAPERS - WEDNESDAY AUGUST 19, 2020 • www.southbaysneighbor.com

New Ground is a non-profit organization that helps to break the cycle of homelessness right here in Nassau and Suffolk counties. This organization began all from the vision of an educator that was committed to providing a safe haven for those living in poverty. This educator saw that shelters were only providing a short-term fix to a problem that needed a real, lasting solution. After envisioning an organization that provided a holistic suite of support services while empowering participants to help themselves, she founded New Ground in 1991 to do just that.

additional homeless families on their waitlist for the Long Term Housing Program. This Program is open to any homeless families, not just Veterans, and is intended to give families a jump-start on accomplishing their goals. When these families later transition into the Long Term Housing Program, they are well on their way toward realizing the steps needed to secure an independent future.

(SPM Wire) August 26 marks National Dog Day. Not only an annual celebration honoring dogs, it is also an awareness campaign meant to encourage the public to acknowledge the overwhelming number of dogs that need to be rescued. Here are a few ways you and your family can celebrate the occasion: • Take your best friend on an extra long walk or go a trip to a local dogfriendly lake or beach. • Adopt a dog from a shelter or rescue organization. • Collect and distribute supplies and donate them to a dog shelter. • Watch your favorite dogcentric movie. • Spread the word by encouraging your friends to adopt, not shop.

LUNCH DELIVERY TO MOMENTUM REHAB AND NURSING - Recently, Friends for Life Homecare donated lunch to the entire staff at Momentum at South Bay Rehabilitation and Nursing. The team delivered over 100 individually wrapped lunches from Broadway Gourmet and Caterers. Broadway Gourmet has been alongside Friends for Life Homecare throughout the pandemic. Together, they have graciously donated large sums of food and collaborated new ways to give back to the senior community. During Covid-19, Friends for Life is so fortunate to be able to pay it forward to those who care heavily for our senior communities. Due to regulations, the team cannot directly meet with their senior communities. This made it important to support those that are keeping seniors safe and healthy. Friends for Life Homecare not only offers in-home care and Medicaid, but they are senior advocates. If your loved one is in need of care, Friends for Life will guide you in the right direction. For assistance, call (631) 485-5574.

How To Find A Tutor For Your Child

not hesitate to contact their children’s school. • Ask around. Fellow parents can be great resources when looking for tutors. Other parents can share their own experiences working with certain tutors, and may be able to point you in the direction of tutors who specialize in certain areas, such as mathematics or the sciences. • Contact local community organizations. Local community organizations such as the YMCA also may offer free or low-cost tutoring programs to members or even nonmembers. Parents are urged to consider these programs, as they may be staffed by local college students, including undergraduates and postgraduates. When speaking with local organizations, ask how they choose their tutors and inquire about the educational backgrounds of those tutors. • Consider online tutoring services. Online tutoring services are another option, and one that can be especially valuable for families that live in remote or rural areas where in-person access to tutors may be hard to find. Search the internet for online tutoring services, making sure to read reviews and even request testimonials from past clients before signing up. Parents have numerous resources at their disposal that can help them find tutors for their children.

How To Clean And Sanitize A Backpack Backpacks are useful tools for students and adults alike. From hiking supplies to school books to sports equipment, backpacks can store just about anything. As veritable workhorses, they’re bound to get dirty and can benefit from periodic cleaning. While it may be tempting to simply throw a backpack into the washing machine, it is important to check the care instructions first. Some canvas, nylon and fabric backpacks can go in the wash, but those made of leather or those with intricate details should not. Backpack manufacturers also advise against putting backpacks in a dryer. Here are steps to cleaning a backpack. 1. To get started, begin by removing any items from the backpack, including all of the pockets. If necessary, use a vacuum to get crumbs out of the backpack. 2. Check the care label to see if there are washing instructions. This will determine if you should wash it by hand or if it can be put in the machine. 3. If the bag can be machine-washed, turn it inside out first or place it in a pillowcase so that the straps and zippers will not be caught. Then wash it on a gentle setting with a mild detergent and lukewarm water. If the bag should be hand-washed, use lukewarm water and a soft sponge or a gentle bristle brush. The outdoor retailer REI says you do not want to harm any protective coatings on the pack. 4. Zippers need occasional cleaning to remove dirt, sand or crumbs. Many zippers have water-resistant coatings so do not scrub them. Use a lubricant made for zippers to help them slide smoothly. 5. Hang the bag to air dry upside down. It likely will dry more quickly outdoors, but avoid direct sunlight, which can compromise the integrity of the fabric or discolor the backpack. 6. Do not store or use the backpack until it is completely dry. 7. Sometimes a backpack may need to be disinfected to prevent the growth of fungus or bacteria. Athlete’s foot fungus can easily transfer from socks and shoes to the backpack if gym clothes are left in the bag. The Spruce says to skip chlorine bleach and use a pine oil or phenolic disinfectant or a disinfectant wipe, such as Pine Sol or Spic-n-Span. Lysol brand disinfectant also can be used and is available in liquid formula or spray. If a backpack is waterproof, only wash it once or twice per year; otherwise, you may reduce the pack’s ability to repel water. Use cleansing wipes to spot clean when necessary. Backpacks can get grimy quickly. Routine washing can freshen them right up.

Tutors provide an invaluable service to students across the globe. Students at all grade levels utilize tutors, and the results such tutors produce may surprise even the most ardent tutor supporters. A 2009 study from researchers at the Chabot College Office of Institutional Research found that tutored students had higher pass rates on average than non-tutored students in every class examined. Those classes included anatomy, biology, business, and chemistry. In addition, one study published in the American Journal of Physics found that human tutoring can result in classroom test scores that are 35 percent higher than software-driven tutoring. Such results have understandably made many parents true believers in the power of tutoring. Parents who want their children to work with tutors but don’t know where to find one can try these strategies. • Contact your child’s school. Many schools offer free tutoring programs, and such programs can provide the one-on-one attention students need to understand their lessons. Afterschool tutoring programs offered by schools also may provide curriculumspecific tutoring that aligns directly with what students are being taught in the classroom. Schools also may have information about local private tutors and tutoring firms, so parents should

Hats Off To The West Babylon Class of 2020 While the ceremonies may have been smaller, the excitement, encouragement and accomplishments were vast as the West Babylon Senior High School Class of 2020 celebrated its commencement exercises. To keep to social distancing practices, the district held seven ceremonies during the course of a two-day period on the West Babylon Junior High School football field on July 30 and 31. Each graduate was seated with two invited guests on the field, while others could view the ceremonies livestreamed at home. Following “The StarSpangled Banner” by Jenna Halvorsen and Darren Del Orfano, Carissa Brock took to the podium for “God Bless America.” West Babylon Senior High School Interim Principal Dr. Ellice Vassallo, who is retiring next month after 26 years serving as principal of the school, welcomed the soon-to-be graduates and attendees. “I have been able to cheer for you, applaud you and encourage you to be your best selves,” she said. “The final chapter of your senior year has been like none before you. You will be remembered for your perseverance through this time. Embrace all

this because it has made you stronger and more compassionate.” Superintendent of Schools Dr. Yiendhy Farrelly asked the members of the class to be reflective and stay true to themselves each and every day. “I am truly honored to be standing here as your superintendent of schools celebrating this significant achievement that ends your high school chapter but starts an exciting new one,” she said. “Throughout your junior high school and high school careers, I have seen, heard and cheered you on throughout so many of your accomplishments. You have made me, your parents and this community so very proud. Whatever path you choose to take, be reflective. Ask yourself every morning, ‘how can I be better than I was yesterday?’ Stay positive, maintain hope and stay true to your character and beliefs. Stand up for what’s right; stand up for those how have not found their voice. Reflect and learn from your mistakes. Be kind to others as you never know what that person next to you is facing.” Board of Education President Lucy Campasano offered her words of advice

on behalf of the school board. “I am so proud to have been a part of all that you have been through,” she said. “I am also proud to be a part of all you have accomplished. I know the last few months have been filled with many moments of sadness and joy – joy for completing one incredible journey and beginning a new one. And sadness for the prospect of leaving the people you love. Put to use all the things you have learned through your very unique experiences. You are stronger and more adaptable than any other class. Your trials have molded you into who you are today and who you will be tomorrow. You have helped one another through it all; you have survived because you were there for each other. Be kind, share everything and when you go out into the world, hold hands and stick together. In a world where you can be anything, I implore you to be kind.” As each member of the class was called to the podium one by one to receive their diploma, Dr. Vassallo and Dr. Farrelly offered their congratulations. After the conferring of diplomas, the graduates marched off the field to the school’s song “Like an Eagle.”

Winters Center For Autism Breaks Ground On New Campus

WINTERS CENTER FOR AUTISM BREAKS GROUND - Winters Center for Autism breaks ground on a 21,000 square foot state-of-the-art campus. The Center is committed to enhancing the quality of life and provide a sense of fulfillment for adults with adults with autism through job creation, training, and placement while helping Long Island businesses develop programs to employ adults with autism. Pictured from left Supervisor Joseph Saladino, Christine Ponzio, Patrick Winters, Sean Winters, Michele Winters, Joe Winters, Supervisor Rich Schaffer, Senator John E. Brooks, Sean Winters, Supervisor Edward Wehrheim, Councilman Antonio Martinez. On Tuesday, August 11th at 10:15 am, the Winters Center for Autism held a Groundbreaking Ceremony to mark the start of construction in West Babylon. The Winters Center for Autism is committed to enhancing the quality of life and provide a sense of fulfillment for adults with autism through job creation, training and placement while helping caring Long Island businesses to develop and implement programs to employ adults with autism. The Winters Center for Autism state-of-the-art campus spans across two buildings offering more than 21,000 square feet of instructional space.

spaces for health and wellness activities, including a sensory garden, greenhouse and Brigid’s Cafe, a neighborhood eatery providing a welcoming environment for the community. “The unemployment rate for people with autism exceeds 90%.

Additional job services will include career planning, interview preparation, exploration of volunteer and educational opportunities and employer assistance to develop easy to implement employment programs for people with autism. Speakers included: • Mr. Joe Winters, founder and president of the Winters Center for Autism and CEO and chairman of Winters Bros. Waste Systems of Long Island • Father Francis Pizzarelli, founder and CEO of Hope House Ministries • Suffolk County Executive Steve Bellone • Babylon Town Supervisor Rich Schaffer • Mr. Chris Cortale, autism advocate and

Winters Bros. employee “What I would say is that there is a job for every person. We are going to find the right fit for the right person at the right company. We will keep that relationship going and you will see that over a period of time people are going to flourish and the company will better for it,” commented Joe Winters, president and founder of Winters Center for Autism. The Ceremony marks the Groundbreaking of what will be a transformational effort in improving the job opportunities offered to adults with autism. About The Winters Center for Autism The Winters Center for Autism was established in 2019 by Joe Winters and his wife Michele. Joe Winters, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Winters Bros. Waste Systems is a key leader in fundraising for the project along with the Winters Family Foundation. Joe and his wife, Michele, along with the entire Winters family are strong advocates for high-quality services and opportunities for individuals with autism. Joe and Michele’s son, Sean Winters, is impacted by autism, which effects 1 in 54 children in the U.S.

Data remains online indefinitely, and your words and actions today can greatly affect your future. • Respect others online by refraining from demeaning or bullying comments. • Do not try to get around firewalls and blocked websites set up by school administrators. These limitations are there for your protection. • Stick to school-sanctioned assignments and internet browsing when using school-issued devices. Administrators may have the right to monitor student activity without students’ knowledge and you can easily get yourself in trouble. • It is easy to hide or fake one’s identity on the internet, so never take someone you meet or speak with online at face value. Never meet up with someone you do not know or only met online. • Talk to your parents or educators about extortion and ransomware that tries to trick you into providing payment in some shape or form to prevent a perpetrator from releasing private information about you, advises the Readiness and Emergency for Schools Technical Assistance Center. Various steps can be taken to promote cyber safety among students, parents and administrators.

Historically Low Response Rates By Town Residents Means Schools, Infrastructure Suffer

On Tuesday August 11, on the steps of Town Hall, an amassment of Babylon’s elected officials (State, County, Town and Villages) announced an unprecedented, bipartisan initiative to call on residents to participate in the 2020 Census. For decades, resident participation in the Town has been among the lowest of Long Island’s townships, leaving millions of dollars in federal funding on the table that would have otherwise been diverted to improve services such as education and transportation. With local government and school district budgets experiencing significant stresses due to the COVID-19 pandemic, it is more important than ever for every one of the Town’s residents to be represented in the census to maximize federal funding. “We need our residents

to understand how important it is for them to respond to the census, but especially this year with local budgets being so greatly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic,” stated Town of Babylon Supervisor Rich Schaffer. “Our Town has missed out on tens of millions of dollars over the past several decades due to poor participation and it is completely within our power to reverse this historical, negative trend. Fill out the census today for a brighter tomorrow.” In decades past, Town of Babylon approximates that only 60 percent of its residents are counted in the census. With the amount of federal funding hinging on more participation, the Town of Babylon has launched an aggressive initiative to help residents understand the importance of participation. The Town has initiated a social media

campaign as well as posted billboards throughout the area to serve as reminders of the importance of the census and how they can submit their information. “The census form is very simple to fill out and typically takes less than 10 minutes,” added Supervisor Schaffer. “That is a very minor time investment to uphold your civic duties, especially since it is one that will provide a significant financial return if everyone in the Town participates.” Census staff members will begin door-to-door data capturing for all those households that have not already filled out the 2020 census. Additionally, the federal government’s decision to move submission deadlines a month early increases the desperation to raise response rates and get as many people to fill it out as quickly as possible.

“RED ALERT” - Babylon elected officials declare “RED ALERT” on census response. Historically low response rates by town residents means schools, infrastructure suffer. On the steps of Town Hall, an amassment of Babylon’s elected officials (State, County, Town and Villages) announced an unprecedented, bipartisan initiative to call on residents to participate in the 2020 Census.

People rely on the internet every day. In recent months, reliance on digital technology was pushed even further as social distancing measures had the world going online for school and work and to maintain relationships with friends and family. A 2018 report from Pew Research Center indicated that nearly 25 percent of young adults in America reported being online almost constantly. Common Sense Media says teens spend an average of nine hours a day online, compared to roughly six hours for those between the ages eight and 12 and 50 minutes for kids younger than eight. Students must exercise caution when spending time online. Connectivity can be empowering, but it also puts students at risk from others and even their own, sometimes irresponsible behaviors. Staying safe online should remain a priority for students who must spend more time on the internet and using digital education tools. These are some tips for maintaining cyber safety. • Exercise caution when sharing information like your name, address, phone number, and other personal data online. Check with a trusted parent or teacher before sharing private data. • Report any online activity that makes you feel uncomfortable, scared or confused, whether it is directed at

The Importance Of Free Play The National Education Association notes that recess and free play are critical to the development of students in grades pre-K through eighth grade. According to the NEA, recess and free play during the school day encourages interpersonal interactions and problem-solving skills, and such opportunities also can prove beneficial for older students. Despite these benefits, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention report that 40 percent of schools have reduced or eliminated recess over the last 20 years in an attempt to increase instructional time for

students. While that may be understandable, it ignores the many benefits of recess and free play, which the American Academy of Pediatrics says are crucial to students’ mental, emotional, physical, and social development. In addition, the AAP notes that research has shown a connection between recess/ free play and improved performance in the classroom. This is true even for older students, including high schoolers. Regular breaks from the rigors of the classroom provide adolescent students with opportunities to mentally decompress, potentially

improving their focus when classroom sessions resume. Such benefits highlight the important role of free play in the development of students, including older students whose school schedules may no longer include time for free play or recess.

WELCOME AND INTRO TO OUR NEIGHBORS PROGRAM - Friends for Life Homecare recently opened a third location in the Village of Babylon in hopes to help more seniors. They moved in back in March just before the pandemic, helping those in the community from a safe distance. Now that things are opening up, Friends for Life is stepping out! The team loaded up their wagon with goodies for all the neighbors, and “popped-in” to say ‘hello’! Each goody bag contained delicious bags of individually wrapped popcorn for all of the local businesses. They were so pleased with all of the kind faces that made them feel welcomed in their new town. “We are so happy to have you!”, Welcome to the Village!”, the merchants said. Friends for Life Homecare may have three primary locations, but they service everyone from Montauk to Manhattan. If you or a loved one are in need of in-home assistance in Suffolk County, call (631) 485-5574 or stop by at 99 Deer Park Avenue, Babylon, NY 11702.

Caffeine Content In Popular Coffees Many people insist they cannot make it through a morning without their favorite cup of coffee. For some, the taste of the coffee might be a secondary consideration. In such instances, caffeine, and the jolt it provides on sleepy, earling mornings, is the true allure of that morning cup of joe. Consuming caffeine in moderation should not have an adverse effect on many people’s overall

health. However, it’s important to learn just how much caffeine is in your morning coffee. That’s because the side effects of consuming too much caffeine can be severe. According to the U.S. National Library of Medicine, consuming more than 400 milligrams of coffee can be harmful. The potential side effects of overconsumption of caffeine include: · restlessness and shakiness

· insomnia · headaches · dizziness · rapid or abnormal heart rhythm · dehydration · anxiety · dependency Many working professionals pick up a cup of coffee on their way into work each morning, which can make it difficult to monitor their caffeine intake. Thankfully, the Center for Science in Public

Interest has shared this breakdown of popular commercial coffees and their caffeine content to help consumers learn just how much caffeine they’re consuming each day. · Dunkin’ Donuts Coffee with espresso shot: 20 oz., 398 mg · Starbucks Coffee, Blonde Roast: 16 oz., 360 mg · Dunkin’ Donuts Iced Coffee, bottle - original: 12 oz., 327 mg

· Starbucks Coffee, Pike Place Roast: 16 oz., 310 mg · Panera Coffee, Light Roast: 16 oz., 307 mg · Starbucks Nitro Cold Brew: 16 oz., 280 mg · Starbucks Plus 2X Caffeine Keurig K-Cup: 1 K-Cup, 260 mg · Dunkin’ Donuts Cappuccino: 20 oz., 252 mg · Starbucks Caffe Americano: 16 oz., 225 mg · Dunkin’ Donuts Coffee:

How College Students Can Confront Returning To Campus

can confront any nervous feelings they may have about returning to campus for a new school year. •Determine your options. While many colleges and universities are returning to campus, some may be allowing students to learn remotely. For instance, students with preexisting conditions that make them vulnerable to COVID-19 may be allowed to continue learning from home. Many schools’ roadmaps to returning are fluid, so students concerned about returning to campus likely have options that do not require them to sit out the semester. • Learn about residential life. Many college students live in dorms that feature double or even triple occupancy rooms. Such an environment will compromise students’ ability to practice social distancing. Some schools, including Binghamton University in New York, are converting triple occupancy rooms into double occupancy. Both Binghamton and UNC Chapel Hill

also are designating one residential hall as temporary housing for students who test positive for COVID-19. In addition, some schools may be designating certain residential facilities for at-risk students. Students who want to avoid the dorms should inquire about off-campus, singleperson housing. • Ask about testing. Students have a right to know about COVID-19 testing protocols and should not hesitate to ask what those protocols will be. Due to the fluid nature of schools’ roadmaps to return, testing policies may not yet be set in stone, and are likely to evolve as the school year progresses. Students should look into the testing policy specifics and ask if they have any recourse if they feel the testing policy is inadequate. Students who are hesitant to return to campus this summer or fall can do their due diligence to determine if they’re comfortable going back to campus.

The Beneﬁts Of A New Approach To Learning For Students

The validity of the adage “necessity is the mother of invention” was on full display during the COVID-19 outbreak. People quickly had to learn to adapt to a new way of life, including an educational system that was transformed dramatically by social distancing guidelines. More than 76 million students are enrolled in United States schools, per the latest Census Bureau information. In 2018, 2.12 million students were in Canadian postsecondary institutions alone. In a matter of days, millions of students who once attended classes inperson were forced to transition to virtual learning instruction. The process showed just how flexible learning systems can be, and how virtual instruction may become more than an emergency protocol in the future. Schools utilized systems like Google Classroom, Canvas and virtual meeting apps to connect and learn. While inclass lessons provide the socialization and

one-on-one interaction that can be vital for students’ academic success, there are many different reasons why virtual instruction can be a key component of learning models as well. When virtual learning is used in conjunction with traditional teaching, students may have a more well-rounded experience. Here are some potential benefits that may unfold as more data is collected. • Pace: Virtual learning affords students the chance to work on lessons at a pace that fits their individual needs. Students can go back and re-read or re-work problems until they’re satisfied they have learned their lesson. Lessons can be slowed down or sped up depending on proficiency, creating a customized educational experience. • No more weather days: Many school districts include snow or extreme weather days into their calendars, adding on extra days at the end of school year to meet the specified number of educational days. Remote

learning can take over in these times and keep school districts from having to pad calendars. • Convenience: The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that middle and high schools start at 8:30 a.m. or later to provide students the best chance to get the amount of sleep they need. Still, most adolescents currently start school before 8:30 a.m. Remote learning enables students to complete their assignments when it works best for them. This may help them get more sleep, too. • Apps: Learning apps are a new wave of educational tools that have helped buoy virtual instruction. Primary school students or those with individual education plans may benefit the most from reinforced app skills that match their learning pace in fun ways. Virtual home instruction may become a large part of the educational landscape even after it’s no longer a social distancing necessity.

The world’s response to the outbreak of the COVID-19 virus left no aspect of life untouched. People from all walks of life had to make sacrifices to prevent the spread of the potentially deadly virus, and college students were no exception. Many colleges and universities abruptly canceled in-person classes in mid-March 2020, forcing students to finish their coursework via remote learning. That response had a significant impact on the 201920 school year, and the virus figures to affect the upcoming school year just as much. In fact, many colleges and universities are beginning the coming school year early in the hopes that students can continue their educations on campus but be safely back home by late November, when many scientists are anticipating a second wave of COVID-19 infections will arrive. Schools that are reopening this summer insist that it is safe to do so, and have even indicated their intentions to implement new practices to ensure their campuses are safe and healthy environments in which to learn. For example, the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill is reconfiguring inperson course instruction to include physical distancing provisions. Small classes will meet in larger spaces, while lectures may be delivered remotely. Despite such measures, some students may still be hesitant to return to campus at a time when so much about the COVID-19 virus remains a mystery. The following are some ways students
