Can Change Your Life Forever!" with guest speaker Bobby Petrocelli on Nov. 30, at 7:15 p.m. in Roslyn High School. Bobby Petrocelli's story is one of personal triumph and hope following a devastating tragedy in his life. One night he went to bed in suburban America, a happy man with a loving wife. But when he woke up dazed in his kitchen, his wife was dead and his life forever changed. The pickup truck that crashed through his bedroom wall was driven by a man who was more than twice legally drunk. FULL STORY

The New York State Department of Health has confirmed four additional cases of rabies found in a raccoon this year in Nassau County. Two of them were in the Roslyn area. The animals were collected by the Nassau County Department of Health in Roslyn Harbor, Flower Hill, Locust Valley and Hicksville. This brings the total number of rabid raccoons in 2005 to 28. In 2004, 10 raccoons were confirmed rabid. "Since raccoons can be found throughout Nassau County, it is neither unexpected to find increasing numbers of raccoons with the disease, nor to find the disease migrating across the county," said Dr. David M. Ackerman, the county's commissioner of health. Dr. Ackerman is also asking residents to report seeing any animal, especially raccoons or possums that are ill, dead or acting unusually, to the Nassau County Department of Health at 571-2290. "For the safety of your family, do not attempt to feed or handle any wild or unfamiliar domestic animal," he said. Dr. Ackerman also stressed the importance of having your pets vaccinated.
