A period of crisis is upon us as we enter the final scenes in the battle between good and evil. God’s last message of mercy reveals the events related to the coming crisis and how to meet it. The great threefold messages of Revelation 14:6-14, which contains the “everlasting gospel” (Revelation 14:6) is the last message of mercy given to our world in the final hours of earth’s history. It is a message of hope and describes the present-day world conditions. It also offers solutions to the global, social crises that we are seeing. We are experiencing wave after wave of terror and fear that has engulfed not just our nation but the whole world. The landscape of America is changing. There is a break-down of confidence with political leaders at almost every level. Law enforcement is under attack, race relations are deteriorating and citizens are dying. Concerned citizens watch with horror as they see the direction that our country and the world is headed. The Three Angels’ Messages of Revelation 14 is the last, final warning message because they reach to the close of probation and culminate with the coming of Christ in the clouds of heaven (Revelation 14:14-16). This message portrays God as He really is—a loving, personal God who is both Creator and Lord of all things, a God of law and justice. He is a God who has gone to infinite lengths making provision through Jesus Christ to save sinners, to justify and sanctify them, to impute righteousness on them, to empower them to live a new life (Jude 24) and to fit them for companionship with the sinless angels of heaven (Revelation 22:14). This message will bring every individual to a decision either for Christ or against Christ. It will draw a dividing line between all the people of earth and will separate them into just two classes,—those who follow the truth, and those who follow error; those who obey God, and those who disobey Him. First Angel—The distinguishing features of the First Angel’s Message (Revelation 14:6, 7) is a call to preach the everlasting gospel, announcing the hour of God’s judgment, a call to fear God, to give Him glory and to worship Him as Creator of heaven and earth. This significant message is given in view of the fact that practically the entire world is drifting towards humanism, secularism, godlessness, evolution and anarchy. It is a fact that the more secular and godless this nation is the more careless and indifferent we become in our relationship with God and with each other. Our nation is becoming more and more divided. Greed is making many rich through corruption. Racism continues to wound and destroy the lives of both police and citizens. The justice system is broken because it favors some and punishes others. Women and children are being enslaved through sex-trade and trafficking. Godless behavior is destroying our civil and religious institutions. “Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come” Revelation 14:7. It calls for mankind to recognize and acknowledge that there is a Creator who is the Law-giver and we are accountable to Him. If we continue to reject God’s commandments and His teachings (James 2:11-13), if we reject the principles of “love” and “respect” (Matthew 5:44) if we don’t treat people the way we want others to treat us (Matthew 7:12) then what we are seeing with the riots, the protests, the shootings and the killings will continue to happen until every major city in America is swept into anarchy. “Worship Him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters” Revelation 14:7. This is a call to recognize God as Creator and at the same time a call to the observance of the true seventh-day Sabbath, Saturday, for the observance of the Sabbath acknowledges and recognizes God as the Creator of all things in six days. See also Exodus 20:8 -11; Genesis 2:1-3; Ezekiel 20:20.

Second Angel—This is a call that “Babylon is fallen” Revelation 14:8. This describes a world-wide phenomena and epidemic that has befallen both the world and the churches. Babylon comes from the word “babel” and originated with the Tower of Babel (Genesis 11:9); it means confusion. Those who are in Babylon are confused. They think they are right when they are wrong. God’s word says: “And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her [Babylon], my people?” Revelation 18:4. Many churches have become social clubs and are no longer emphasizing sanctification, holiness, purity or righteous living which comes as the result of reading and applying God’s word to our lives. Many churches are rejecting God’s view on morality and sexuality. This condition accurately describes the moral decay that we see. This is a fitting description of the popular churches who have opened wide their doors to the world. Babylon has truly fallen in this time of lawlessness and vice. “Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils” 1 Timothy 1:4. Third Angel—This is a warning cry against the apostasy which is being introduced by Babylon. The ancient teachings of Babylon were firmly embedded into the teaching and practices of ancient Israel which included sun worship (2 Kings 23:5, Ezekiel 8:16) and spiritualism (2 Kings 21:6, Psalm 106:28). Today these doctrines have been repackaged and embraced by the church. They are now called Sunday sacredness and the doctrine of the immortal soul. By these two great errors the whole world has been made drunk on the wine of Babylon. The third angel’s message is a call to forsake these and all the other errors of Babylon and to take a stand of allegiance to God. It is a call to reject the Mark of the Beast— which is an attempt to enforce the wine of Babylon, or Sunday sacredness, through a legal enactment (a Sunday Law). It is a call to embrace the truths of the Holy Scriptures; to take a stand on the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus. This is clearly seen by the description of God’s people: “Here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus” Revelation 14:12. “If you love Me, keep My commandments” John 14:15. “For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments” 1 John 5:3. Free Book Offer—The Great Controversy is an international best seller, a fascinating book and a must read that describes exactly what we are seeing today. Our world has become a very frightening place, indeed! This book identifies exactly why our world is being plagued by violence, terrorism and war in these last days. The Great Controversy explains the truth of the Three Angels’ Messages and exposes Satan's masterpiece of deception.

Wide Open With Michael McDonald BY DAVE GIL DE RUBIO DGILDERUBIO@ANTONMEDIAGROUP.COM

f the late James Brown was the hardest working man in show business, then Michael McDonald runs a close second. Ever since he became a member of Steely Dan in 1974, the St. Louis native has packed a lot of musical living into the fourplus decades that have elapsed since then. A five-time Grammy winner, McDonald’s distinctive blue-eyed soul singing not only found him transitioning into the ranks of the platinum album-selling ranks of The Doobie Brothers, but he’s carved out a wildly successful career that’s also found him collaborating with a wide range of artists including Aretha Franklin, Patti LaBelle, Ray Charles, Grizzly Bear, Kenny Loggins, Thundercat and even Van Halen. And while last year found him joining forces with Don Was, Warren Haynes and country singer Jamey Johnson on the Last Waltz 40, a tribute show tied to The Band’s 1976 farewell concert, McDonald also managed to find time to release Wide Open, his first album of all-original

material since 2000 and latest recording in nine years. What started out as a bunch of demos he’d been working on with family friend, drummer/ engineer Shannon Forrest, who he was temporarily sharing a recording space with in Nashville, evolved into a full-fledged dozen songs. “Shannon and I had been co-opting this space. He had a big console and I had a bunch of old amps and keyboards. We both kind of developed this analog palace, if you will, of old gear,” he recalled with a laugh. “Whenever I was in town, I’d buy him dinner and we’d make these demos. Shannon’s design had been to build his own room, so when I was in town, I came by to see it. It was beautiful and in the course of pulling it together, he was using those demos to tune the room for proper mic-ing and [sonics]. He’d redone the drums on the songs and with what we’d already laid down, he thought I had the start of a record.

Little by little, we built the album out of those early demos and started bringing in real bass players and guitarists to replace my pathetic guitar playing.” McDonald and Forrest brought in an impressive array of talent to help flesh out these songs. Among the notable names who pitched in were stalwarts McDonald had worked with before including saxophonist Tom Scott, bassist Marcus Miller and guitarists Warren Haynes and Robben Ford. While his former bandmates in Steely Dan and The Doobie Brothers will be coheadlining later in the year, McDonald will be spending the early part of 2018 touring with his crack group of backup musicians. And while he’s enthralled to be hitting the stage with his band (“To be out here with this group of musicians and able to play this stuff with guys who handle it so well is really a privilege for me,”) he’s always open to reuniting with old

musical friends, should the opportunity present itself. “I haven’t been approached about any of those dates. And for the Doobies, I think it’s important to put it out there what they are at this point and time, which is one of the all-time great rock and roll bands and they sound better than ever at this point. In the meantime, they’re knocking it out of the park every night,” he said. “And I know Donald [Fagen] is always going to have a great band, and it’s always going to sound good. I know it’s been difficult for him since Walter [Becker] passed. But musically, Donald is a very capable guy on stage. I wish him the best. Any chance I get to play with either one of those [acts], I always jump at it.” Michael McDonald will be appearing on Feb. 10 at The Tilles Center for the Performing Arts, 720 Northern Blvd., Greenvale.

DINING

Dosa Does It

BY STEVE MOSCO

SMOSCO@ANTONMEDIAGROUP.COM

ndian food is as varied and diverse as the culture itself— with each region contributing its own take on the aromatic essence of one of the world’s most unique cuisines. Much of the same can be said about Hicksville, which in recent years has become the Indian food capital of Long Island. One of the area’s most popular additions is the south Indian leaning Saravanaa Bhavan, in Delco Plaza at Old Country Road and Broadway. An open and airy eatery, Saravanaa serves strictly vegetarian dishes with a downright explosive flavor collection of ingredients that come together for a deeply rich meal. While northern Indian food

is more popular—at least for now—with its naan, samosas and chicken tikka masala, southern Indian cuisine is more reminiscent of comfort food, based around rice, lentils and stews. This is what’s served at Saravanaa Bhavan—heartwarming and belly-filling, it’s food you can imagine an Indian grandma insisting you eat more of. Saravanaa boasts an extensive menu of mostly southern favorites—in fact, so much that it’s wise to focus on one section per visit. For this dining trip, the restaurant’s vast dosa offerings warmed the spotlight. A dosa is a crisp, thin, savory Indian crepe made from a fermented batter containing rice and lentils. These long creations are often filled

Long Islanders Can’t Afford The Island

Survey says residents want more housing options BY STEVE MOSCO

smosco@antonmediagroup.com

The general consensus is that young people are desperate to leave the Island as soon as they graduate college—that they don’t feel like anything is keeping them here and the high cost of living is merely a factor in the ultimate decision to move away. But a new survey reveals that Long Islanders do indeed feel a strong connection to the island they call home and they would make this their permanent residence, if not for a lack of truly affordable housing options. The survey, released last week by Long Island Index, explores attitudes about housing among residents of Long Island and compares them with those of other nearby suburbs in New York, New Jersey and Connecticut. Underlying the concerns is the difficulty that Long Islanders have in meeting their monthly housing costs, with 60 percent of Long Islanders reporting difficulty, compared to 48 percent for the New Jersey suburbs and 53 percent for the New York and Connecticut suburbs. As a result, 59 percent of island residents—an all-time high—say they are somewhat or very likely to leave in the next five years for a more affordable area, an increase of 10 percent in the last five years. That’s especially notable, since Long Islanders underscore their strong connection to Long Island. When asked “How strongly do you identify with Long Island or your county?” 58 percent of Long Islanders responded “very strongly,” compared to 23 percent of those in New Jersey and 29 percent in New York/Connecticut. Long Islanders are apparently more passionate about their connection to the area—a 35 percent difference compared to New Jersey— yet they are likely to leave for a more affordable place. The survey shows that the challenge of affordable housing is especially stark for young adults, with 41 percent of those ages 18 to 34 reportedly living with parents, in-laws or other relatives—an increase from 35 percent in 2015.

To address this situation, the survey finds that Long Islanders want more housing options and they are specific about the options, with 68 percent of residents supporting a change in zoning laws to make it easier to install a rental apartment in a single-family home. There is majority support for this among all age groups—from 58 percent among those 65 and older to 83 percent among those 18-34. This support for more housing options mirrors changing housing expectations of Long Islanders. The number of Long Island residents who expect to live in a single-family home in five years has dropped 9 percent since 2015 to 65 percent. The number who expect to live in an apartment, condo or townhouse in five years has increased 11 percent since 2015 to 26 percent. “The survey results underscore the growing challenge of a lack of affordable housing,” said Dr. Leonie Huddy, Stony Brook University professor and co-author of the report and survey. “But they also reflect a desire for change.” The president of the foundation which spearheaded the survey, the Rauch Foundation, said the onus is on elected officials to hear the pleas of Long Islanders who are looking for non-Island housing options, not because they want to, but because they have to. “Long Islanders are clear about their housing preferences and our elected officials should take them into account,” said Nancy Rauch Douzinas, president of the Rauch Foundation. “Young adults in particular are struggling to find their footing here and that jeopardizes Long Island’s future. It’s time to put our future ahead of our past.” —Information provided by The Rauch Foundation and Long Island Index

MUSIC

Michael McDonald’s Fave Singing Pianists BY DAVE GIL DE RUBIO

dgilderuBio@antonmediagroup.com

Few artists this side of Daryl Hall possess the kind of rich, blue-eyed soul phrasing that Michael McDonald possesses. In addition to having an incredibly rich musical background that’s found him balancing stints in Steely Dan and The Doobie Brothers with an incredibly successful solo career and various music collaborations, McDonald has become a pop culture icon associated with everything from Family Guy to the Yacht Rock phenomenon. The respected singer-songwriter recently shared some of his favorite vocalists who also happen to tickle the 88s.

Ray Charles (September 23, 1930-June 10, 2004)

“Ray Charles was my greatest inspiration from the time I was a kid growing up. I learned what soul music was about by listening to Ray Charles. It brought the art of being a soul singer to me mentally and from that, I could appreciate so many other artists and singers like Marvin Gaye. Ray Charles was the first opening of that door to rhythm and blues music to me and the genius of it. What happens in a musical phrase sung the right way along with accompanying himself on piano—it was a level of which very few of us will ever achieve.”

Leon Russell (April 2,

Michael McDonald

1942-November 13, 2016) (Photo by Timothy White) “I’ve always loved Leon Russell and his style of playing and his ability to put a song over. And of course, his writing is beyond excellent. Some of the stuff that he’s written over the years is profoundly genius and so much in the tradition of gospel and blues.”

Harry Connick Jr.

Harry Connick Jr. (September 11, 1967-present) “I love his musicianship and the way he comes across as a piano-playing vocalist. He’s got such great style and soulfulness. I think Harry is really the guy whose roots are very deep in the New Orleans tradition. On that other level of Tony Bennett and Frank Sinatra, to me, he is the true carrier of the torch of big band stuff because he brings all of that, in some ways, transcends what’s come before. And that’s because of his very street-level knowledge of music.” Michael McDonald will be appearing on Feb. 10 at The Tilles Center for the Performing Arts, 720 Northern Blvd., Greenvale.

What Is Catholic Schools Week? BY ANTON MEDIA STAFF

specialsections@antonmediagroup.com

atholic Schools Week is the annual celebration of Catholic education in the United States. It starts the last Sunday in January, which in 2018 is Jan. 28, and runs through Feb. 3. The theme for the Catholic Schools Week 2018 is “Learn. Serve. Lead. Succeed.” Schools typically observe the annual celebration week with masses, open houses and other activities for students, families, parishioners and community members. Through these events, schools focus on the value Catholic education provides to young people and its contributions to the church, communities and the nation. On Long Island, Catholic elementary schools celebrate the week with masses and open houses to thank parishioners, welcome visitors and introduce new families to the benefits of a Catholic education. These frequently kick off with a mass and open house on the first Sunday and a series of events designed to recognize the contributions of students, parents and faculty during the course of the week. Many schools offer additional open houses and opportunities to visit during the week as well. For more information, calendars of events and links to the schools, visit www.LICatholicElementarySchools.org.

100 Years Of Learning, Family And Faith BY JOSEPH CATRONE

he story of St. Brigid/Our Lady of Hope School in Westbury is one of both significant progress and steady sameness since its founding in 1918. Now, with their 100th anniversary looming, Paul Clagnaz, the school’s principal since 1997, is looking forward to celebrating the legacy of a Catholic school that’s persevered through a continuously evolving educational landscape, all the while maintaining the inclusive and nurturing principles that have defined it from the beginning. “It’s very exciting. I’ve been here for 25 years, first as a teacher, then as an assistant principal and principal. As the anniversary approached and I knew I would be here for it, it’s a great milestone to be here to celebrate with the community,” Clagnaz said, before conceding, “Non-public school education is challenging, especially in New York State.” One challenge, Clagnaz notes, is that of declining enrollment over the years. In the mid-1960s, enrollment peaked at about 1,470 students, but by 1973, it was down to 990 and now sits at about 350, Clagnaz said. He also notes that the number of Sisters on the school’s faculty has diminished over the years, with only one currently on board. Despite these changes, Clagnaz considers enrollment “stable,” and a

suitable amount to work with. “What occurred at St. Brigid’s is basically what happened in the world of Catholic education or non-public education. In the ‘60s, enrollment started to decline and you had to make adjustments. You had to run as a smaller school. Now it’s 350 [students]. That’s kind of a comfortable number for us to operate with.” Clagnaz identifies the upgrading of technology in schools as one change that St. Brigid/Our Lady of Hope has adapted quite well to. He recalls that when he first arrived at the school, there was little more to offer in the way

of technology than a handful of Apple IIe computers. “Now we have Smartboards in practically every room. Teachers all have school-issued laptops; all the kids in grades 3-8 have a Chromebook,” said Clagnaz, who counts the school’s cutting edge approach to education as one of the things he’s most proud of. “It was not easy. If you’re going to have 350 Chromebook-users, then you have to have the infrastructure to support that. A lot went into it, many years of planning and several years of execution.” One thing that’s remained constant

over the years, however, is the school’s commitment to education, faith and diversity. Clagnaz, in an analogy that only could have come from a former teacher, compared the school’s set of ideals to an atom—the nucleus being the education element, and the faith acting as surrounding electrons, always remaining vital. “For many of the grades, the younger grades, [they’re taught] the golden rule. That permeates everything. When [faith] is appropriate, it comes up. When there’s something happening in the world, we can look at it through a Catholic perspective,” said Clagnaz. “Not everybody who attends here is Roman Catholic—most are—but we welcome children here from all faiths. We have embraced who we are as a diverse school community, so if you want your children to be in a place where there’s diversity, that’s a plus in this particular Catholic school.” Celebration plans for the school’s 100th anniversary are already underway, with a committee meeting on a monthly basis and filling in a year’s worth of events set to begin Sept. 1. Among the events is a mass to be held at St. Brigid’s Catholic Church on Post Avenue, for which Bishop of the Diocese of Rockville Centre John Barres has been invited as the main celebrant, schedule permitting. There will also be a procession down

A better environment for learning. The Catholic school diﬀerence is founded on a simple truth: students know that God loves and accepts them for who they really are. Uniforms help them avoid many of the surface-level distractions of social status and peer pressure, and children learn that their value is not based on how others see them, but on God’s always faithful love for them.

We want to have something for the current families, we want to invite back the alumni, have something for the community and for the parishioners,” Clagnaz said, adding that the school also hopes to hold a celebration to recognize how much its demographic has changed over time. “Students were predominantly Italian and Irish. That’s changed over the years…we also have Haitian kids, African American kids, Asian kids, Filipino kids. It’s really a good representation of the reality of the world. So we will likely have a multicultural celebration, where families will bring in foods from their cultures.” Clagnaz takes pride knowing that students, who graduate from St. Brigid/Our Lady of Hope in eighth grade, are well-prepared to face high school, college and beyond. But, having attended both public and Catholic school and seeing education from multiple vantage points, Clagnaz can’t deny that the school has meant something even greater to its faculty, students and their families.

Students visit Village Hall “There’s a sense of belonging, a sense of family. People don’t attend here because they happen to live in a geographic area; people come here because they choose to. They come from Westbury, Carle Place, East Meadow, all over the place,” Clagnaz said. “The children aren’t giving up anything because they go to Catholic school. We’re providing them with resources that are equal to or better than even some public schools offer.”

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Catholic Schools Week?

Catholic Schools Week is an annual event, celebrated across the country during the last week in January. The week is set aside to celebrate the unique nature of the Catholic schools in each community. In addition to the internal events (teacher and parent recognition events, school ‘spirit’ days, special assemblies, etc.), it is also a week where the schools open their doors to the families of the Parish/Parishes they serve and to the general public who might be considering the benefits of a Catholic education.

As a school family, how do I participate?

the schools where parents and students can visit the school(s) they think they might be interested in and get a tour of the facility, be introduced to the teachers, meet some of the current families and children, and generally learn about the academic, spiritual, social and physical development programs.

Saint Anne’s Early Childhood Program

Each school publishes a complete list of events and activities taking place in their school during the week. School families are encouraged to visit the website of their school.

As a family considering a Catholic education, how do I learn more?

Catholic Schools Week features Open Houses at

As a prospective family, do I have an assigned school?

One of the first differences you will notice about Catholic school is that you get to select the school that you believe your children will be most successful in. There is no direct “assignment” based on where you live, and most school districts provide busing to the school of your choice within a 15-mile radius.

Is there a difference in tuition to attend a different school?

Long Island’s Catholic elementary schools set their own tuitions, so they vary slightly, but there is no penalty for choosing a school outside of your Parish or town if you are a Parishioner in the Diocese. The system of schools is an asset here on Long Island for all of the families of the Diocese and for all of the families of Long Island.

What should parents look for during their visit?

Many parents of current students tell us that their decision was emotional and based on a feeling of warmth and caring they got during their visit. Others are more analytical and make direct comparisons based on the results on standardized test scores and high school admittance history. Regardless of how you make your decision, the schools are “open books” during this week, providing whatever information prospective families desire to support their decision. There is also a series of video interviews on the website (www. licatholicelementaryschools.org) where current parents offer their advice on how to get the most out of your visit.

Q Are non-Catholics welcome in the schools?

The schools are welcoming places to everyone without regard to race, religion or national origin. A religion class is a requirement, students participate in Liturgies, and faith is an integrated part of daily activities, but many schools have a significant population of students who attend because of the quality of the education alone.

Will attending Catholic elementary schools help my child get into a prestigious Catholic high school?

Attending a Catholic elementary school isn’t the only way to get into a Catholic high school, but it is still the best way. The Catholic high schools are open to all students and typically have a very significant number of students from a public school background. Students qualify for Catholic high school through a test for 8th graders that is administered in October of each year. Typically the students from Catholic elementary schools are

best prepared for the academic rigor, the integrated program of faith and values, and the service orientation of the high schools. Virtually all of the students from Catholic elementary schools (99 percent) are admitted to a Catholic high school, with the vast majority getting into the school that is their first choice.

When parents select a Catholic elementary school, what are the most frequently cited reasons? The reasons that are most frequently mentioned are: academic excellence, the reinforcement of the values lived at home, Catholic religious identity, a safe, nurturing environment for learning, more individualized attention to each student’s learning needs, an outstanding extracurricular program and the level of partnership established with parents.

How can I learn more or choose the school(s) I would like to visit? There is a resource for families on the Internet that provides a very complete picture of the Catholic elementary school experience. It features an interactive map that is your guide to each of Long island’s distinctive Catholic schools and that lets you view the geographic options for your children at www.licatholic elementaryschools.org.

t. Brigid/Our Lady of Hope School held its first classes in 1918, and had eight classrooms—four on the first floor and four on the second floor. The original schoolhouse, now used as a meeting hall known as St. Anthony’s Hall, still exists on Post Avenue and was built in the 1890s. By the 1950s, the school needed more space to meet its growing class sizes, and the current location at 101 Maple Ave. was built, with extensions added soon after. Today, the school is a learning community of children, professional educators, parents and families, clergy and lay ministers striving to share the message of Jesus Christ. —Joseph Catrone

Experience The Difference A look at the Catholic High Schools of Long Island BY ANTON MEDIA STAFF

specialsections@antonmediagroup.com

ore than 11,000 young people discover learning and faith in the 10 Catholic high schools of Long Island. From southwestern Nassau County to the East End, these high schools reflect the tradition, commitment, and family spirit of their communities. Three are owned and operated by the Diocese of Rockville Centre, two grew from local parishes, and five are the apostolates of religious orders. Each has its own identity, but all are defined by academic excellence on a foundation rooted in faith.

Dedication to success in the classroom, however, is the hallmark that sets Catholic schools apart. About 99 percent of graduates from these schools continue their education at college, and last year, they earned more than $355 million in college scholarships and grants. The religious and lay faculties of Long Island’s Catholic high schools build upon history and tradition to deliver a contemporary education to their students. At St. Mary’s High School in Manhasset, for instance, students learn on iPads for a dynamic, interactive program of studies. Sacred Heart Academy in Hempstead, an all-girls school of the Sisters of St. Joseph, science education is complemented by participation in local and national science fairs, and partnerships with Hofstra University’s Fred DeMatteis School of Engineering and Applied Science and National Grid.

about science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) through hands-on work in the school’s Apple computer lab. Kellenberg Memorial High School’s Robotics Club brings those disciplines together from design to creation in a collaborative setting. Alumni of Catholic high schools remain close to the mission of their almae matres. Years after graduating, alumni return regularly to catch a Cougars football game at St. John the Baptist in West Islip. Oyster Bay’s St. Dominic High School welcomes college-age alumni back every winter for a convivial luncheon. At St. Anthony’s High School in South Huntington, students realize that they are “classmates for four years, and Friars forever.” What keeps so many graduates connected to their Catholic high schools is the well-rounded, values-centered environment to form

the complete person. It’s reinforced by daily mass and food drives at Holy Trinity Diocesan High School in Hicksville. Young men of Chaminade High School in Mineola regularly perform service projects in the community. Young women are empowered by mission trips and a nurturing yet challenging program at Our Lady of Mercy Academy in Syosset. A host of extracurricular activities and interscholastic sports at each school further develop friendship, faith, and understanding. The goal of each Catholic high school is as sacred as it is simple—to provide young people with an education that challenges, inspires, and prepares students to lead successful lives at work, at home, and in the community. The Catholic High Schools Entrance Exam is used for admission to these 10 schools in the ninth grade. More information about the Catholic High Schools of Long Island can be found at www.CHSEE.org. Open Houses will also be scheduled for prospective candidates and their families in the fall.

Holy Trinity Celebrates Catholic Schools Week Thank you to all the Catholic Elementary Schools within the Diocese of Rockville Centre who have helped shape and empower our students, faculty, and administrators in order to become active members of our school, our church, and our world. HOLY TRINITY DIOCESAN HIGH SCHOOL 98 Cherry Lane | Hicksville, NY | 11801 www.holytrinityhs.org 178866 C

Ask any educator why they do the work that they do and you’re unlikely to hear “recognition” as an answer, but public praise nonetheless acts as reassurance for teachers that they’re doing their best work possible. Our Lady of Mercy School in Hicksville received that reassurance in a big way as it was recently named the number one private school on Long Island in the Best of LI contest. Principal Jane Harrigan credited the hard work of her faculty as well as the support from the school’s parents for making the honor possible. “For the teachers, it validates how hard they’ve worked, and it spreads throughout the school,” Harrigan said. “It’s good as an administrator that the teachers are being recognized and great that parents think that we’re deserving of the honor. It’s a revalidation of support from them. It means that we’re putting out the product we say we are and that the parents who volunteer are seeing what they hope their kids are getting.” Additionally, kindergarten teacher Karen Spaventa was selected as best teacher, an honor that Harrigan noted was well deserved given her ability to connect with students, something that’s all the more

important in today’s education system given the competitive nature of the modern world. “It’s so hard for children with the world we live in now,” Harrigan reflected, before praising Spaventa. This [honor] shares the great job she does, with the community. If children have been through the kindergarten program and been in her class, they already know what she does. But for the outside community, they can see now that the kindergarteners get a strong foundation to move up to the older grades. [Spaventa] is creative, engaging, good at identifying children’s needs and good at channeling their energy into productive work. She keeps on developing.” Harrigan also noted that the recognition received by Our Lady of Mercy this year could help the school continue to improve in years to come, believing that it provides momentum and something to build upon. “We revisit yearly [to discuss ways to improve], but this is a sense of enthusiasm for the whole school, and it’s reinvigorating for all of the students and teachers,” Harrigan said. “We did this and now we have to continue. We want to maintain this and prove that we’ve earned this honor. We appreciate the support of the Hicksville and Plainview communities.”

St. Joseph Church To Welcome Bishop Barres

Organization provides needs-based tuition assistance

Since its inception in 2005, the Tomorrow’s Hope Foundation has distributed more than 20 million dollars in aid to more than 17,000 qualifying students. Today, the Tomorrow’s Hope Foundation provides almost 2 million dollars annually that subsidizes tuitions. In some cases, schools and parishes also have scholarship funds available. Families are encouraged to speak with the principal at the school of their choice about the options available. There is also a Frequently Asked Questions sheet in the Financial Aid section of the www.LICatholicElementarySchools. org website. For more information, visit www. TomorrowsHopeFoundation.org. —Anton Media Staff

Catholic Schools Week is a time for Catholic schools to celebrate the extraordinary benefits and advantages offered by a Catholic school education. At St. Joseph School, it is an especially exciting time as the staff will be welcoming Bishop John Barres as a special guest at the opening mass on Sunday, Jan. 28 at 9 a.m. Bishop Barres is the bishop for the Diocese of Rockville Centre and a longtime supporter and advocate for Catholic education. This also marks Bishop Barres’ first Catholic Schools Week as Bishop of the Diocese of Rockville Centre since his installation as Bishop in January 2017. “It is a truly a blessing to welcome the Bishop during this special week,” said Dr. Michael Spinelli, president of the St. Joseph School Board. Immediately following the mass, St. Joseph School will host an open house throughout the school from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., highlighting the school’s different programs and

The mission of the Tomorrow’s Hope Foundation is to provide tuition assistance for families who want their children to attend a Catholic elementary school, but need financial help to make it possible. The Tomorrow’s Hope Foundation solicits donations from individuals and corporations, and allocates that money to families based on financial need. A Tomorrow’s Hope grant is awarded anonymously to the family to offset the tuition cost based on family income and expenses. Alternately, through the Tomorrow’s Hope STAR Program, specific individual students are paired off with a STAR donor on a direct one-to-one basis. STAR program donors agree to contribute $2,500 a year in a donor/student relationship that often lasts for the duration of the child’s elementary school journey. STAR donors and “their students” have an ongoing dialogue and the donor gets to hear about, and participate in the academic career of a student.

Run, Mrs. O’Connell, Run BY ANTON MEDIA STAFF

specialsections@antonmediagroup.com

social media account, family and friends, the St. Aidan school community held a big paint night during the summer of 2017. O’Connell received pledges for almost $5,000 for Fred’s Team and the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. As the marathon approached, O’Connell shared her plans with the students at St. Aidan’s and shared the app which would allow everyone from the school to track her progress in real time and know exactly where she was throughout the entire 26.2 miles. O’Connell set a goal to finish in four-and-a-half hours and achieved it with a 4:25:12 finish time despite the rainy weather. The Monday following the marathon,

O’Connell arrived at St. Aidan’s to posters, pictures, cards, flowers and lots of excitement from the students. She used the opportunity to share how amazing the experience was and how important it is to set your goals high and never

give up. Students loved seeing her medal and she even wore her finisher jacket to school that day. “It was truly amazing to share the experience with all of them,” said O’Connell.

Congratulations to All Accepted Students Making History as the Class of 2022!

For many people, a top bucket list item is running a marathon. For others, it is running and completing said marathon. Julie O’Connell is the assistant principal of St. Aidan School and she recently competed in, and completed the New York City Marathon. O’Connell, who only started running in 2014, generally ran about five miles at a time, but loved the clarity she experienced when she ran. In 2015, she started to train for a half marathon and began competing. As O’Connell began to consider competing in the New York City Marathon in late 2016, her mother-in-law passed away after an almost five-year battle with ovarian cancer. O’Connell’s memories of how the hospital and doctors at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center helped to extend her mother-in-law’s stage four diagnosis into almost five years of additional life was the incentive to choose “Fred’s Team” as her charity because it exclusively raises money for Memorial Sloan Kettering. In July of 2017, the mom of three busy young children, began a moderate training schedule. Between July 17 and Nov. 3, she ran a total of 450 miles, running weekdays at 5 a.m. and saving her 2 to 3 hour long runs for Saturday. Through O’Connell’s

A Better Learning Environment Leads To Better Outcomes

179004 C

Experts in the field of brain research are convinced that every child’s physical and emotional well-being is closely linked to their ability to think and to learn effectively. In short, the learner’s surroundings greatly impact his or her ability to learn. Many believe that it is this clear-cut difference in the surrounding environment that helps so many students from Catholic elementary schools achieve at the level they do. Catholic schools, by their expanded charter, are able to address some of the major shortcomings in the public education system. Perhaps most noticeable recently is that Catholic schools haven’t gotten sidetracked by ‘teaching to the test’ as many public schools have. Schools and teachers are not evaluated based on the scores of state tests, the results are simply used to improve instruction. In Catholic school, kids are accepted for who they are, uniforms remove many of the surface-level distractions of social status and peer pressure, and there is zero tolerance for the students and activities that would deprive others of their chance to learn. In Catholic school, children learn that their value is not based on how others see them. In a Catholic elementary school, each child learns that they are unique and important and created by God to fulfill a special purpose. Catholic schools also address life questions— where did we come from, where are we going, what’s it all about—not only with the help of the arts and sciences, but also with reference to God and the Catholic faith. Catholic schools are also places where each individual is known by name, and guided and nurtured through the process. This sends strong subconscious messages, such

as “I matter,” “this is a place where I can learn,” and “I am welcome here.” Students also interact with other students who are ‘achievers’ creating a competitive, yet supportive environment. They’re backed by parents who are actively involved in their children’s education, and students are led by teachers who demand, rather than request, that they succeed. Being part of a community that supports and celebrates your goals, and helps you achieve them, is a powerful motivator. But most importantly, a Catholic elementary school is a place that reminds children constantly that they are safe, they are loved, and that God loves them. This security prepares children for adulthood because they will have attained a sense of selfworth, preparing them for marriage and family, vocations of service to the Church and to be of service to one’s fellow human beings. You cannot underestimate the simple strength of the warm and loving environment Catholic elementary schools provide for children during their formative years. —Supplied by the Diocese of Rockville Centre.

The Scientific Method

STEM statistics motivate Chaminade to launch $20 million project BY ANTHONY MURRAY

amurraY@antonmediagroup.com

haminade High School is nearing completion on its new Science, Technology and Research Center that is scheduled to open in the spring. The 34,000 squarefoot space will be the first of its kind for high school students in the tristate area. All of Chaminade’s 1,700 students will take classes in the science center, which includes seven new teaching labs where students will study biology, chemistry, physics, geosciences, fabrication and robotics. The new science center will also be a dedicated space for the school’s Science Olympiad team, a space which will be 40 times larger than its current facility. Students will also have access to the latest technology for hands-on analysis and research, including an Anatomage digital anatomy table, computerized lab probes, a Foucault pendulum, observatory dome and a hydrodynamics simulator. In the science center’s 10,000 square-foot basement, two thirds of that space will host a fabrication and robotics lab. 3D scanners, 3D printers, metal working tools and AutoCAD equipped computers will help empower students to design parts, construct their own robots and have them compete in elite competitions. In the biology labs, besides having access to a fleet of digital microscopes, students will now have the opportunity to use an Anatomage digital anatomy table, which will allow them to section and anatomize a 3D virtual life-sized human body with X-ray and surgical simulations. The science center’s rooftop is designed to accommodate both scientific instruction and environmental stewardship. The rooftop will feature a meteorological observation deck allowing students to study atmosphere, weather and sunlight. A digital programmable telescope for instruction in astronomy will reside in the center’s observatory dome. Also on the science center’s rooftop will be a low density soil mixture that will host a mass variety of different types of flowers and plants. The soil will manage run off while the flowers will shade the building from direct sunlight during the day and insulate the building during the night thus eliminating Chaminade’s cooling and heating costs. With all this amazing new technology at their disposal, the students at

One of the many hallways that are still under heavy construction. The first floor entry way to Chaminade’s new science center, which is slated to open in spring 2018. (Photos by Anthony Murray) Chaminade are pretty excited to get down to work. “We’re all wondering when we’re going to finally get a chance to get in and start working,” said Chaminade senior Aidan Fitzgerald. “I think with this new building we’re going to be able to go a lot deeper into certain topics than we would have been able to without it. I know the freshman class is really excited to spend four years getting to know the building and fully enjoy it.” Statistics on STEM in education and in the workplace is what motivated Chaminade’s decision to undertake this overwhelming and costly construction project. Just within the last decade, the number of STEM jobs grew 25 percent according to the U.S.

Bureau of Labor Statistics. “We have an obligation to provide our students with a strong foundation in science, technology and research,” said Brother Thomas Cleary, president of Chaminade. “It is of the utmost importance in today’s workforce. Our current facilities simply cannot be retrofitted to meet that need. The tools in the Science, Technology and Research Center will expand our students’ knowledge—preparing them for rigorous collegiate coursework and a competitive job market.” Chaminade has launched a daring $20 million fundraising campaign to fund the construction of the building and the technology and tools it will house. The support for the science center will come from parents,

alumni and alumni parents, among many others. Chaminade has already revamped its academic program in anticipation of the science center’s early spring opening. While organizing the continued importance of a solid liberal-arts curriculum, Chaminade has integrated more digital, collaborative coursework in classes across all subjects. “I think it comes down to the fact that we have to invest in our future,” said Fitzgerald. “Making our science program the best it possibly can be sets all of our students up to do the best that they can with finding a career and having all the tools at their disposal to make sure they can seize any opportunity they want to.”

Nassau County Executive Laura Curran hit the ground running in her first month in office last week when she signed an executive order barring appointed members of her administration from holding a leadership position in a political party or donating to her campaign—the first county executive in New York State to take such a measure. “This is a major step toward full transparency in Nassau County government and enacting true campaign finance reform on a local level,” said Curran in the legislative building’s ceremonial chamber on Jan. 17, where she was joined by deputy county executives. “I ran on a promise of addressing corruption and this order begins to fulfill that promise.” Curran’s order prohibits her executive staff, including the heads of her departments, along with commissioners and deputies, from authoritative roles in political parties and from donating directly to her campaign committee. Though a first time for the executive office, the action is commonplace among district attorneys. “County Executive Curran deserves credit for swiftly advancing ethics and integrity proposals addressing local needs in Nassau County,” said Stephan Acquario, executive director of the New York Association of Counties. “We believe that Nassau is the first county to implement all of these specific actions in one compendium of measures.” The official order, signed by Curran with her deputies looking on, strictly prohibits “...the holding of any office or position of authority within any political party or committee of any political party, other than being a committeeperson, or of any office or position of authority within any committee on behalf of any candidate for elected office by any member of the county executive staff, any deputy county executive, any county executive appointed commissioner or any other county executive appointed head of any county executive department or agency or any deputy commissioner or any other deputy head or any county executive department or agency.” The order further states, “...that the making of any contribution of any sum of money to any committee on behalf of my candidacy for any

Holiday Mathis Holiday Mathis Mathis HOROSCOPES ByByByHoliday ARIES (March 21-April 19). There’s a type of work that’s like a fever. Your focus is so intent on the task that you can think of nothing else. The rest of the world disappears. And three or 10 hours later, you emerge feeling as though mere minutes have passed. Engrossing work like this is a gift you’ll be blessed by this week.

INTERNATIONAL WORD FIND Have a Happy New Ye Y ar Solution: 28 Letters

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Your dear ones know more about you than anyone, and that’s why it’s surprising for them to see you around other people. Then they realize there are even more sides to you than they knew... new, sparkling ones. They may get jealous. Ultimately it’s good for the relationship. The more facets, the shinier the jewel. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You follow life’s recipe exactly, and yet results will vary. Different day, different weather, differently sourced ingredients... and no two people can do anything in life exactly alike. Because there are way too many variables that would be impossible to control, why worry about it at all? Just “do you” and watch what happens. CANCER (June 22-July 22). A leisurely pace will suit you mighty fine this week, and when it’s your turn to take the floor, don’t speed things up. Go even slower. When you relax, everyone around you will relax. If you rush to the point, no one will have a chance to really understand it. Besides, they all want to go on the journey with you.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You’re gloriously organized and effective because you know that if you weren’t, the same amount of energy would go out, but you’d get half the results. And since you’ve a knack for organized thinking this week, you might help out a friend with a different natural style. Systems, habits, practices... that’s the theme. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). We all wish for a fairy godmother type to make a confusing or dysfunctional part of our work go smoothly. That highly effective magician is within you this week. Yes, you are so capable! The only thing missing is a bit of training. Instead of looking for a godmother, look for a teacher. This will be worth the money, by the way. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). If only you knew that you could help people without getting taken. “Taken” can mean a loss of money, wasted time, ill-placed affection, gifts misused, energy depleted or being generally taken advantage of. Good news: You’ll set effective boundaries and structures that allow you to be generous and yet protected. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Those who love best are the ones who understand that they can never own love. But you know that already. You’ve tried so many times! Like the moon, the fullness of joy and affection waxes and wanes. You’re at your graceful best when you appreciate its many states and don’t try to force things. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Desperate times may call for desperate measures, but these times don’t fit the description. Your even, stable, levelheaded approach will make you a leader. Others may try to stir up drama and create problems just so they can heroically save the day. You’ll do better by staying real. Ignore them. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Once upon a time you lost control, and you’re still holding on to the shame of all that messy emotion. But what happened back there was necessary. No regrets. Something was released from the depths. You’re better for it, more settled. This week you’ll begin to build something great on the improved foundation. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You’ve glimpsed greatness -- embodied a unique state of grace and mastery for extended moments -- but you’ve not been able to sustain it. Hint: It’s not sustainable. Life is change. Don’t lament, stress or feel less-than because you can’t always be golden. Instead, work toward getting stronger, ever stronger.

THIS WEEK’S BIRTHDAYS

There’s a jolliness to your demeanor even as you do your hardest work in these first weeks of your solar return. Knowing and surrendering to your purpose is giving you levity, creativity and a distinct advantage over your competition. In February, partners come to new understandings that make everyone’s life better. There’s big money to be made in March. Keep the momentum going. April brings opportunity, though you have to make a sacrifice in order to take it. Exciting times ahead! COPYRIGHT 2018 CREATORS.COM

Everything you do will have a strong version of your energetic stamp on it. Also, don’t worry about getting paid. You will! Focus on the work and it all falls into place.

One year after the Women’s March on Washington broke demonstration records, approximately 2 million people in hundreds of cities around the country held anniversary marches and rallies to express their anger at the current administration and to share hopeful messages for the future. The “Power to the Polls” theme urges supporters to make their voices heard not only in the streets, but in the midterm elections as well.

DOSA from page 4A with an array of ingredients, including mashed potatoes, vegetables, cheese and ghee, an Indian take on butter. Part of the fun of dosa eating—besides eating with your hands—is the collection of chutneys and sambar served on the side for dipping. Chutneys range greatly in color and heat, from mild to intensely spicy, while sambar is a lentil-based stew with a tamarind broth. With so many dosa options, ordering three at once is imperative. For the uninitiated, start with three basic dosas like the ghee masala dosa, cheese dosa and Mysore masala dosa—these offer the complete flavor spectrum from pure succulence to fiery high impact. Ghee, a south Indian staple, is pure butterfat. In the ghee masala dosa, it coats the mouth in a silky texture that fits perfectly with the toastiness of the dosa. This dosa is stuffed with an Indian take on mashed potatoes, loaded with vegetables and a blend of spices.

The cheese dosa is the must-order dosa for anyone who isn’t sure if Indian food is their cup of tea. Some might call it “Americanized,” but that doesn’t mean it’s bad. Melted and stretchy, the cheese brings dosa to a more accessible place, yet still boasts exotic flavors when the spicier chutneys are utilized. And finally, the Mysore masala dosa brings some much needed heat to the meal. Straight from the high-spice Mysore region of India, this dosa is less crunchy and more robust than others. A thick, red, garlic chili chutney is smeared on the inside of the dosa before it is filled with the masala mashed potatoes. The fiery treat is fine on its own, but it benefits well from the flavor juxtaposition provided by a milder chutney. At Saravanaa Bhavan, the dosas are large and meals are communal—making the eatery a welcome addition to Hicksville’s growing Indian flavor profile. Saravanaa Bhavan, 285 S.

A Courtside Dream Come True BY JENNIFER FAUCI

JFAUCI@ANTONMEDIAGROUP.COM

magine going to bed at night and drifting off to sleep, dreaming that you are courtside, covering your favorite basketball team. While some people may awake the next morning to find that it was only a dream, for Anthony Puccio, it is an amazing reality. The Wantagh native has been extensively covering the Brooklyn Nets for the past five years, keeping fans and fellow NBA teams up-to-date on the happenings of the team. It all started with a love of basketball, a Microsoft word document and an epiphany. “I’ve had a lot of motivation in my life from circumstances that happened to me and my family at such a young age,” said the 22-year-old. “My dad lost his job in 2008, my mom got sick and all of that happened when I was in eighth grade. Those instances motivated me as I got older…I wanted to figure out how to get my foot in the door doing something that I loved.” Puccio, or “Pooch” as he is known to everyone, grew up playing basketball.

Anthony Puccio provides extensive coverage of the Nets. At Jonas E. Salk Middle School, where he set scoring records for the most points in a game and points per season. He also played in AAU (Amateur Athletic Union), as well as travel basketball, citing former teammates as

current NBA players, including Detroit Pistons small forward Tobias Harris. With such a passion for the sport, Puccio knew he had to find a way to make it a career. “In 11th grade, I woke up and figured that I should make a plan on what I wanted to do. Senior year, one day it hit me: I watch every Nets game, so why not write about it?” said Puccio, who began doing his own analysis of the games on a Microsoft Word document. “I reached out to newspapers, editors and websites just Nets player asking for advice. DeMarre Tom Lorenzo, my Carroll at the boss today, an40/40 club swered back saying that I was good and to just keep at it.” One year after that email exchange, Puccio circled back to Lorenzo as a freshman at Nassau Community College. Lorenzo said he was inspired by Puccio’s persistence and offered him season credentials and a chance to cover the team. “He took a chance on me and now it’s five years later,” said Puccio, who now covers the Nets for SB Nation and Nets Daily and has an impressive Twitter following. He is set to graduate from St. Johns University in the spring. “I’m at every game and practice

depending on my school schedule and I have learned a lot from the older beat reporters when I first started, but now I have a good touch on where this team is headed,” said Puccio, who utilizes all social media platforms including Sound Cloud and Periscope (he has his own show) to deliver Nets news. “It has helped me emerge as one of the most followed Nets beat reporters. I feel more confident that I can help the fans get what they deserve and get access more than ever.” But Puccio does more than tweet. He covers the players and coaches, conducting full interviews before and after the game. He has also been on television, podcasts and radio, recently stopping by WFAN. “The digital landscape has changed everything for me,” said Puccio, who plans on sticking with the Nets in a higher role after graduation. “I’ve been with them since I was 17. I would love to get into more broadcast television and media, but from a digital side.” Players have become friends off the court, coaches give him advice on how he can become a coach one day and he has the full support of his family, friends and community. “The support has been phenomenal. Everyone in town has been really cool and it’s nice to see the appreciation of what I do,” he said. “The Nets work ethic and how they handle things with class, graciousness and generosity really makes me feel at home.” Puccio recalls putting a note in his phone the day he got offered the job. He still has that note, which not only reminds him of how happy he was in that moment, but keeps him humble, appreciating every opportunity that has been given to him. “It’s really cool growing up as a basketball fan and now this whole experience is incredible,” he said. “If 12-year-old me heard what I was doing now, I would never believe it.” To stay up do date on the Nets, follow Anthony Puccio on Twitter at @APOOCH or follow @NetsDaily or @BrooklynNets.
