Statement by BCA President Roy Chipkin

The Birchwood Civic Association (BCA) is in close contact with our representatives in the Town of Oyster Bay. We understand that the Town has stopped the renovation work that was going on at the former Hampton Inn at 120 Jericho Turnpike, as permits had not been issued for the work. The BCA has asked to be kept updated as information becomes available so that we can work to mitigate any negative impact on our community, while at the same time assuring that the needs of homeless families are met. Please be aware that homeless families have been placed in Jericho hotels and children have been attending Jericho schools for many years. We will keep you apprised as we receive any new information.

Notice

Recently, BCA members might have received an email from Meenan Oil with an offer to lock in oil rates for the December 2020 to November 2021 period. That email is legitimate. The oil committee of the BCA always monitors the price of oil and we felt that with the recent and dramatic drop in oil prices, the time was right to lock in a low price for our members. The choices are either the $2.49 per gallon price for the fixed plan or the $2.59 per gallon price for the ceiling plan for the period 12/01/2020 through 11/30/2021. To reply to Meenan Oil via email, please open their email, hit the forward button (not reply button) at the top, scroll down, click on the box for either the fixed price plan or the ceiling price plan, and send the email to either lartale@meenanlp.com or dfaulkne@meenanlp.com.

Tips from The Centers for Disease Control

We hope you are adjusting well to your new routines. For your health and safety and for the good of our community, please follow these guidelines provided by The Centers for Disease Control:

Everyone should:

1) Clean your hands often

Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds especially after you have been in a public place, or after blowing your nose, coughing, or sneezing.
If soap and water are not readily available, use a hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol.
Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands.

2) Avoid close contact with people who are sick

Remember that some people without symptoms may be able to spread virus.

3) Cover your mouth and nose with a cloth face cover when around others

Continue to keep about 6 feet between yourself and others. The cloth face cover is not a substitute for social distancing.
Everyone should wear a cloth face cover when they have to go out in public.
Do NOT use a facemask meant for a healthcare worker.
You could spread COVID-19 to others even if you do not feel sick.

4) Clean and disinfect

Clean and disinfect frequently touched surfaces daily. This includes tables, doorknobs, light switches, countertops, handles, desks, phones, keyboards, toilets, faucets, and sinks.
If surfaces are dirty, clean them. Use detergent or soap and water prior to disinfection.
Then use a household disinfectant.

In addition, please do not litter. Kindly dispose of your used tissues, gloves, surgical masks, and dog poop in a garbage bin (not on the street). Thank you.
