The Theodore Roosevelt Carrier Strike Group is on a scheduled deployment to the 7th Fleet area of operations.

The American Heartworm Society advises dog owners to have their furry companions tested for heartworm annually. Such tests can typically be conducted during routine preventive care visits to the veterinarian. The AHS notes that such tests are necessary even for dogs that are taking year-round heartworm prevention medications. Tests can confirm that such programs are working or indicate if they are not effective. The American Veterinary Medical Association notes that antigen tests are the most commonly performed tests. These tests detect the presence of adult female heartworms and they are typically highly accurate. If a test is positive, veterinarians may recommend further testing, including radiographs, a blood profile and an echocardiogram. Such tests can determine a number of things about the infection, including its severity. The AVMA also notes that the additional testing can help determine the best course of treatment. Cat owners should know that it’s more difficult to detect heartworm in cats than in dogs. The AHS indicates that cats are much less likely than dogs to have adult heartworms, making the disease harder to detect in felines. Veterinarians may recommend cats receive both the antigen test and an antibody test, which detects exposure to heartworm larvae. The AVMA notes that more testing may increase the likelihood of detecting the disease in cats.

feel after an hour or two. Homeowners who vary the tasks they tackle will use different muscle groups, which can reduce strain and limit injury risk. Whenever possible, opt for ergonomic tools that can reduce users’ risk of repetitive stress injuries.

Helping You Help Others By Noelle Stanuch

The Charity of the Month for March is
The Twilight Wish Foundation
SUFFOLK ZONE 5 - NEIGHBOR NEWSPAPERS - WEDNESDAY MARCH 31, 2021 • WWW.LONGISLANDMEDIAGROUP.COM
www.twilightwish.org
T h e Twilight Wish Foundation is a 501(c) (3) non-profit organization whose mission is to honor and enrich the lives of seniors through intergenerational Twilight Wish celebrations. Since the organization’s founding in 2003, their goal has been to make the world a nicer place to age, one Twilight Wish at a time. When a Twilight Wish is granted, a senior is recognized for all that they have done throughout their lives and is shown that they are appreciated and valued. Did you know that senior citizens are the fastest growing population in the world? The number of Americans 65 and older is projected to more than double to over 98 million by 2060. To date, the Twilight Wish Foundation has granted over 3,700 wishes throughout our country! These wishes have ranged from simple needs wishes, such as shaving razors for nursing home veterans, to living life to the fullest wishes, such as going cross country in a tractor trailer truck. Recently, many Long Island residents had their wishes come true. Below is a story about Michael, a Plainview resident. Michael wished for a record player and vinyl records. The Twilight Wish Foundation happily granted his wish, and as far as the records go, he received two of his favorites! Michael had worked in insurance and took an early train into the city every morning, returning home late at night. By the time he retired, he was ready for senior living accommodations. However, retirement did not stop his desire to volunteer. Prepandemic he worked closely to help people who were lower functioning/ had dementia. During the pandemic,
he was still the first person to ask others what they needed and if he could be of help in any way. He truly gives so much without thinking of taking. Thank you for being you, Michael! You can qualify for a Twilight Wish if you are at least 65 years old, are a legal U.S. citizen, demonstrate financial need, provide a history of giving back to others and possess the cognitive, emotional and physical ability to experience the wish. Please note, when going to grant a wish, this foundation takes all the necessary safety precautions. If you are interested in volunteering with their Long Island Chapter, you can fill out the Chapter Volunteer Application at www.twilightwish.org/volunteeropportunities/ and someone will get in contact with you regarding how you can do so. The Long Island chapter operates under the direction of James Ciervo. Lastly, if you would like to donate to this organization, please visit their website. As little as $25 can help make a senior’s Twilight Wish come true!
Lifesaving Hospital Nutrition Worker Hailed as Employee of the Month
Nutritional Aide Amber Ramroop was already well known and respected by both patients and staff at Long Island Community Hospital for her bright and cheery attitude, and for her “Can-Do” attitude by her supervisors and peers. On January 16th, she also added the distinction of Hero to her many accolades. While delivering a lunch tray to a patient, Amber noticed a sudden change in the patient’s breathing and responsiveness. She immediately notified the nursing staff which triggered an alert of the hospital’s rapid response team, resulting in the successful resuscitation of the patient. “For the past year our front-line caregivers have gone above and beyond
protecting our community from the COVID-19 pandemic.” stated Richard T. Margulis, President and CEO. “As with all of our Courageous Hearts, I am extremely grateful and proud of Amber’s commitment to do what’s best for our patients. She is a shining example that each and every one of our employees here at LI Community Hospital are true heroes.” Amber was presented the hospital’s Employee of the Month Award for March for her outstanding efforts and for exemplifying the core values of the hospital. Long Island Community Hospital has served this richly diverse region as a patient-first community hospital for more than 60 years. We are 100% focused
on the community and committed to providing quality care with our greatly enhanced services reflected through the Knapp Cardiac Care Center - our highly advanced heart disease diagnosis and treatment facility, our new modern surgical pavilion, our level III trauma center, and our hightouch services including women’s imaging, sleep laboratory, wound care and more. These services are delivered with the highest level of compassion by our LI Community Hospital staff – Long Islanders with an unmistakable mix of courage and heart who care about the people right here in our community and whose sole purpose is to provide personalized comfort.
EMPLOYEE OF THE MONTH - Lifesaving Hospital Nutrition Worker, Amber Ramroop, hailed as Employee of the Month.

Behind The Jokes Of April Fools’ Day Pranks, practical jokes and various goofs abound at the start of April, when celebrants around the world mark April Fools’ Day — a tradition that dates back several centuries. Even though April Fools’ Day, also known as All Fools’ Day, has been celebrated for centuries, no one is completely sure of its exact origins.
According to History.com, many historians speculate that April Fool’s Day traces its origins to the transition from the Julian calendar to the Gregorian one in 1582. At this point, the start of the new year had been moved to January 1 from the last week of March. Those who were slow to get the news still celebrated the new year from late March into April and
became the object of pranks as a result. One of the more notable pranks included having a paper fish placed on the backs of unsuspecting individuals and being referred to as poisson d’avril (April fish). This symbolized a young, easily fooled, or hooked fish. During the 1700s, April Fools’ Day spread northward throughout areas of Britain.
Connetquot Public Library Continued From 5 Extension addresses one of the greatest threats to a healthy garden. The New York State Integrated Pest Management Program “develops sustainable ways to manage pests and helps people use methods that minimize environmental, health, and economic risks.” While offering safe and valuable information to deal with nature’s pests, find additional gardening advice as well. The Long Island Invasive Species Management Area addresses other threats affecting Long Island gardeners, invasive plants and trees. This voluntary
non-profit initiative seeks to reduce the threat of invasive species in our ecosystem. With species profiles, the identification and management of these threats can help preserve the “biodiversity, wildlife habitat, recreation resources, scenic quality, and crop production while protecting human health and safety.” Interested in planting a tree? The Arbor Day Foundation allows you to search alphabetically or by a tree’s common or scientific name. Discover color photographs, growth information, zones, and other features. Whether a new tree or one you
already have, the tree guide can provide data on “height, spread, soil, sun requirements, leaves, history, wildlife habit, and more.” With time at home, we hope these websites help to expand your gardening knowledge and create a backyard oasis to enjoy with your family in the years to come. As always, we thank you for making us a part of your lives.

In Scotland, the tradition became a two-day event. One feature was sending people on phony errands called “hunting the gowk.” Gowk refers to the cuckoo bird, which often has been used as a symbol for fools. Tallie Day followed, which included pranks like pinning fake tails or “kick me” signs on unsuspecting people. The earliest mass April Fools’ Day hoax on record occurred in 1698, according to Alex Boese, curator of the Museum of Hoaxes. “People in London were told to go see the annual ceremony of the washing of the lions at the Tower of London,” said Boese. “They showed up at the Tower of London, but there was no annual lion-washing ceremony.” Mass media later became a prime vehicle for some April tomfoolery. In 1957, the BBC told viewers there was a great spaghetti crop in Switzerland that year due to the disappearance of the spaghetti weevil, and people of Britain, who were largely unfamiliar with spaghetti at the time, believed it. Faux advertisements, broadcasts and interviews eventually crop up as well. National
Public Radio did a piece on how Richard Nixon was going to run for president in the 1992 race and used the voice of a man who sounded like Nixon. People were outraged, and thousands believed it. Many companies have gotten in on the foolishness in recent years. The popular dating app Tinder once announced they put an end to men lying about their height on the app with a “height verification feature.” And Lego purportedly introduced a “Find My Brick” app to make building more efficient. Even National
Geographic got in on the fun when, in 2016, the media company announced via Twitter that it would no longer be publishing photos of naked animals, stating “the media group will no longer degrade animals by showing photos of them without clothes.” Those who clicked through were greeted with “April Fools” and photos of adorably dressed puppies and kittens. April Fools’ Day is an opportunity to have some lighthearted fun, even if that fun comes at the expense of others.
