An Air Quality Action Day for Thursday, September 2nd
The New York State Department of Transportation has declared that tomorrow (Thursday, September 2, 2010) will be an Air Quality Action Day in the downstate metro area due to forecasted high levels of ground-level ozone. While tomorrow will still be a day when people can go about most of their normal activities, such as going to work, driving may be one of the most polluting activities that people do tomorrow, and we encourage everyone to leave their cars at home if possible.

GLUCK SISTERS BIRTHDAY BLOOD DRIVE
Melville, NY Monday August 30, 2010 The Gluck Sisters: Muriel, Jude and Doreen, are hosting their first ‘Birthday Blood Drive’ at the Long Island Blood Services Melville Donor Center located at 905 Walt Whitman Road (aka Route 110), Melville NY. Muriel, a four year Breast Cancer Survivor was shocked to learn that nationally only 3% of the eligible population [see attached notes] donates on a regular basis. An amazing 1/3 of us will NEED blood before the age of 72. Reacting to this news, the sisters decided to host their own blood drive to help increase awareness and hopefully donations.
On average approximately 2000 units of blood are needed daily in the area serviced by New York Blood Center. Sadly, because the number of donations does not meet the need, 20% of the products {red blood cells, plasma and platelets} needed comes from other regions of the U.S.

Huntington Opens Community Outreach Center
Town, Suffolk County personnel will staff center and hotline, part of multi-pronged plan to fight crime
Huntington Station, NY – Huntington Town, with participation from Suffolk County, today opened a Community Outreach Center in Huntington Station and began accepting calls to its hotline with information that might be useful in Town code enforcement and County police criminal investigations.
The Outreach Center, in a Huntington Housing Authority building at 5 Lowndes Avenue, is intended to serve as a focal point for residents to provide information about quality of life complaints, such as illegal housing and other code violations. The Town is basing the officers assigned to the Code Enforcement Task force at the Outreach Center. The Suffolk County Police Department has also assigned an officer to be stationed at the Outreach Center and to work closely with the Town Code Enforcement officers on quality of life complaints, such as illegal housing and other code violations. Representatives from other Town and County departments may also be at the Outreach Center on a rotating basis.
