Pam Brown-Homaridae

Brown is best known for making sculpture that portrays her personal story as a naturalist, inspired by the beauties and tragedies of wildlife and American history. Her artwork focuses on anthropological and environmental concerns of extinction and the human condition in reference to the natural world. She has exhibited her large-scale public works throughout the Northeast from Maine and Vermont to Virginia and Tennessee and exhibits her smaller sculptures in galleries across New York State and Long Island. NYC artist Kathy Levine makes art about the importance of the natural environment to our well-being. The pieces are handmade from recycled paper cast over natural objects like trees, bark, leaves, branches and other forms found in nature. She has exhibited her work and won awards across the country from Brooklyn to Michigan to

Far too often our surroundings are disregarded and unappreciated; fires rage throughout the world, flooding and famine are at the forefront igniting civil wars and environmental catastrophes. As so much of the modern world has shown us, the power of a symbol cannot be underestimated. Pam Brown and Kathy Levine firmly believe that art is a catalyst for change and that images can heighten the visibility of our environment and in turn foster awareness and stewardship. Brown and Levine fabricate dimensional objects from a variety of sheet materials, such as paper, sheet metal and

These pieces hang off the wall, suspend and free-stand; their artwork and construction methods speak to the beauty found in nature as well to the destruction.

Homecoming 2021 – A Win For Ward Melville High School Fans

SUFFOLK ZONE 6 - NEIGHBOR NEWSPAPERS - WEDNESDAY OCTOBER 27, 2021 - NOVEMBER 9, 2021• WWW.LONGISLANDMEDIAGROUP.COM

The entire Three Village Central School District community came together to celebrate homecoming 2021 in early October, an event that blanketed Ward Melville High School in green, gold and school spirit. Homecoming kicked off with a community carnival, which featured games,

crafts and tasty food. Before the football team took to the field, members of each district elementary school paraded around the track to showcase the banners they created for the annual competition. This year’s submissions were each based on the theme “united in spirit.” W.S. Mount Elementary School

was named the winner in the banner contest. Members of the cheerleading teams, marching band and color guard kept the crowd on its feet and cheering the Patriots to a 13-12 victory against Central Islip. Photos courtesy of the Three Village Central School District

Why Now Is The Time To Schedule That Check-Up Or Screening

(StatePoint) If you haven’t visited your physician since the start of the pandemic, medical experts say that the time is now to book check-ups and screenings for the entire family. “The pandemic has had wide-scale negative health consequences beyond

COVID-19. Many Americans have delayed important routine health services critical to keeping them healthy, including vital pediatric immunizations and preventive cancer screenings. Prevention is the best cure, so it’s important to get your health back on track

today,” says Gerald E. Harmon, M.D., American Medical Association (AMA) president. With the cool weather months ahead, the AMA urges Americans to call their physician’s office to learn if they are due for preventive care or screenings.

How to Make an Impact This National Breast Cancer Awareness Month

(StatePoint) October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, an annual opportunity to spend your dollars on products and services that benefit breast cancer advocacy, research and patient care services. However, experts say that the clutter of pink products on store shelves and online can make savvy shopping a challenge. “Determining if a given product sold during October actually benefits a breast cancer charity, is not always easy,” says Sarah Rosales, vice president of Corporate Partnerships at Susan G. Komen, the world’s leading breast cancer organization. One way to ensure that your purchases are making the impact you think they will is by shopping with Komen’s Annual Live Pink program. This year, Komen has partnered with more than 25 companies, and the lineup of products and services available includes

everything from specially designed clothing and skin care products, to bagels and bikes. By shopping with the brands in the Live Pink portfolio during October, you can help fund research and care services that support people through their breast cancer diagnosis, treatment and beyond. Program details are transparent on the Live Pink site. To learn more and to shop, visit, komen. org/livepink. For other purchases you make this National Breast Cancer Awareness Month that make charitable claims, Susan G. Komen recommends asking the following questions:

You should be made aware where your money is going and what charitable programs your purchase will support. Funds raised to benefit Komen, for example, go to support the organization’s advocacy for breast cancer patients, investments in research and a number of direct patient care services.

3. How is the program structured? What percentage or exact amount of the proceeds will go to the charity? Will the company be making a minimum or maximum donation to the charity? Shop only with companies that offer transparency with regards to program 1. What charity is the details and how donations program supporting? Do are structured. promotional materials about the product or By shopping savvy this service clearly and October, you can support conspicuously state this the fight against breast information? cancer and ensure your purchases are making the 2. How will the benefitting biggest impact possible. charity use the donation?

The Complicated Connection Between Black Cats, Witches And Halloween

Come October, it’s hard to miss the many indelible images associated with Halloween. Homeowners may decorate their home exteriors with scarecrows, inflatable ghouls and goblins, and jack-o’lanterns. Local businesses also may get in on the fun, offering “spooktacular” sales and decorating their storefronts with images of vampires, witches and other symbols of Halloween. Black cats have become synonymous with Halloween decor, but few may know how this association came to be. According to History. com, the notion of black

cats as bad omens can be traced to the Middle Ages. Back then, people believed witches avoided detection by turning themselves into black cats. The perception of black cats as something more than mere felines may even pre-date the Middle Ages. For example, in Norse mythology, Freyja, a goddess of, among other things, a type of Late Scandinavian Iron Age magic known as “Seior,” was believed to have ridden a chariot pulled by two cats. That connection to sorcery could explain the link between black cats and witches that continues to be made today.

Despite the lengthy history suggesting black cats are bad omens, it’s not all bad for these dark-colored felines. One researcher at the Carnegie Museum of Natural History found that Welsh folklore depicted black cats as harbingers of good luck, and even noted their ability to predict the weather. Black cats are one of many symbols of Halloween. And much like jack-o’-lanterns and trickor-treating, the story of how black cats came to be associated with Halloween is interesting and thoughtprovoking.

John Legere Launches #Johnspawoctober Donating $1,000 A Day To Animal Shelters Throughout The Month Of October John Legere, visionary business leader and former CEO of T-Mobile, is proud to continue his passion for charitable giving with the creation of #JohnsPawoctober - a month-long giving spree throughout October in which he is donating $1,000 a day to animal shelters. Followers can nominate their local shelter by sharing their social handle and adding

#JohnsPawoctober. “Animals have always been a love of mine, as they are for so many,” said Legere. “I’m excited to help our country’s animal shelters and furry friends this month and hope it encourages others to do the same. Let’s change some pet’s lives together!” In addition to the newly announced # J o h n s P a w o c t o b e r, Legere has continued to

surprise his social media followers with his weekly #CallOnJohn campaign, where every Tuesday he grants deserving followers with the things they most need to improve their lives. This October, he is also partnering with real estate superstar Ryan Serhant for Breast Cancer Awareness month and a campaign he is launching called “Real Men Wear Pink Magenta!”

Oktoberfest Celebrations The style of beer most widely consumed during Oktoberfest celebrations can be traced to a time before refrigeration was available. According to the online beer resource BeerAdvocate.com, brewing beer in the summertime was nearly impossible in the days before refrigeration. Hot weather and the risk of bacterial infections complicated brewing in summer, so many brewers

would cease brewing beer in spring and begin again in the fall when temperatures dropped. As a result, the beers available for Oktoberfest celebrations were the Märzen style of beer, or those brewed in the month of March, shortly before brewing ceased for the season. These Märzen beers were kept in cold storage throughout the spring and summer or brewed at a higher gravity so they

would keep and be available for consumption during Oktoberfest celebrations. Such brewing restrictions were no longer necessary after refrigeration became commonplace and made it possible to brew beer year-round, but there’s still a strong chance that steins being hoisted during this year’s Oktoberfest celebrations will be filled with Märzen-style beers.

The Impact Of Volunteers volunteers are from an economic standpoint. In its 2018 “Volunteering in America Report,” AmeriCorps, an organization dedicated to strengthening communities and fostering civic engagement through service and volunteering, reported that Americans volunteered nearly 6.9 billion hours worth an estimated $167 billion in

2017. Volunteering figures to be even more valuable in the months and years ahead as towns, cities and countries look to recover from a global pandemic that claimed millions of lives and devastated economies big and small. As the world attempts to rebuild itself once the pandemic has ended, volunteers can play vital roles in reestablishing

their communities. In fact, many people have already made that recognition. According to data from the professional social networking site LinkedIn, the site’s users had added more than 110,00 volunteer activities to their profiles between the early stages of the pandemic in 2020 and the end of summer 2020.
