Fossil Reconstruction

tudents in Patricia Lester’s College Anthropology class at East Islip High School are creating reconstructions of fossil skulls as part of their study of human ancestors. The project requires students to measure the brain size of their assigned hominid or early human – such as Homo neanderthalensis or Homo habilis – and accurately model the skull to fit that brain. The whole class then compares the models.

Expanding Programs Day Haven Adult Day Services, a program of The Community Program Centers of Long Island, will expand its services in Ronkonkoma for frail older adults, individuals with Alzheimer’s or a related dementia, and family caregivers. The expansion is supported by a recent $20,000 grant from the Knapp Swezey Foundation and a $5,000 grant from The Alzheimer’s Foundation of America.

Day Haven’s Director, Elizabeth A. Geary, states, “There is documented need for more social model adult day programs serving the increasing number of frail elders and those with Alzheimer’s or a related dementia.” Social model programs are recognized as a cost-effective model of care for older adults requiring supervision and assistance with activities of daily living as a result

of a physical or cognitive deficit such as dementia.

According to data collected by the New York State Office for the Aging, social model adult day programs suppot cognitive, physical and social functioning, resulting in delayed nursing home placement often for 24 months or more.

With the grant support, Day Haven will expand the square footage of program space. The new space will provide an additional program room, a handicapped accessible bathroom with shower and hair salon capacity, and a caregiver support conference room where families can meet with Day Haven staff.

Day Haven Adult Day Services, with centers in Port Jefferson and Ronkonkoma, provides day time care, professional supervision, and assistance with activities of daily

living for frail older adults and individuals with dementia who are living at home in the community.

Day Haven also provides caregiver services such as free support groups, educational events, and information referral services for families caring for a frail older adult or individual with Alzheimer’s disease.

For more information about Day Haven’s program expansion or other Day Haven programs and services, contact Julie Wexler at 631.585.2020, extension 260.

We even have tournaments – we just finished the basketball tournament.”

“The intramural program is a great way to do physical activity and have fun at the same time,” Montuori said. Originally a victim of budget cuts, along with the middle school sports program, intramurals were restored for this school year as a result of a $70,000 donation from the For the Kids Foundation.

Seventh- and eighth-grade intramurals are also run for boys, taught by Ronald Croteau (Mondays), and for girls, taught by Laura Hegna (Tuesdays).

On a recent Wednesday afternoon, the sound of excited voices engaged in athletic competition could be heard echoing through the East Islip Middle School gymnasium.

Physical education teacher Coach Michael Montuori, who runs both the boys and girls sixth-grade intramurals, was monitoring a hotly contested European handball game. The boys, part of a group of over 100 East Islip students participating in middle school intramurals, were thrilled with the opportunity for healthy physical and social activity.

“Faith is so deserving of the accolades,” said Beltrami. The nomination for the People to People program was for more than one reason. “Faith had shown a propensity toward history,” she said. “She was always eager to learn and was very enthusiastic, often passing this excitement on to her peers. Faith has true leadership qualities and would often lead the discussions among her group. She was an active participant and showed a real love for school and the people around her. She had exceptional intuition about the people around her and a compassion for others that was unmatched. I knew that Faith would be an excellent representative for both the East Islip School District and the children of Long Island.

I feel truly honored and lucky to have had Faith in class and know she will go on to make a wonderful difference in this world.”

The Timber Point student toured many of the area’s national monuments; one major highlight was a private breakfast at the Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History on the morning of the inauguration.

Henderson also took part in a service learning project that included writing a letter to a soldier currently serving overseas.

Henderson’s amazing experience attending the presidential inauguration was the result of efforts by her fourth-grade teacher at Timber Point, Sheryl Beltrami, who had nominated her last year for the program.

“If it wasn’t for Mrs. Beltrami, I would have never had the opportunity to go to Washington and experience history firsthand,” said Henderson.

“The people I met and the experiences I had will be with me my entire life.”

Faith Henderson, a fifthgrade student at Timber Point Elementary School, attended Inauguration Day in Washington, D.C. through the People To People Student Ambassador Program.

She not only got to hear President Obama address the American people at the event, but was also able to meet the president and have her picture taken with him.

Henderson arrived in Washington on January 18th and returned to New York on January 23rd.

During her six-day stay in the nation’s capital, she had the chance to listen to several fascinating keynote speakers, including Ken Walsh, the U.S. News and World Report’s chief White House correspondent, who shared his insights on the election process; Mary Jean Eisenhower, President Eisenhower’s granddaughter, who reflected on his years in the White House; Kenneth M.

Far too often, we are reminded of the fleeting nature of life; the fact that, in an instant, things can change, throwing any sense of normalcy and routine into complete upheaval. Whether by the hands of Mother Nature or some otherworldly force, many of these factors are far beyond our control, making it all the more crucial that we embrace those things we do, in fact, have control over.

One of my favorite films back in my high school Political Science class was Dead Poets Society, simply for the fact that its mantra of “Carpe Diem” seemed to make perfect sense. Seize the

day, capture the moment… live each day to the fullest.

You just never know what may be around the corner.

Certainly, there are times when something positive is on the horizon; surprises need not always portend tragedy and aggravation. It just seems that, on the whole, we as a society tend to take our lives – and those most important to us – for granted, never anticipating a day when this sense of contentment (read: complacency) might be turned upside down.

What can we do to prepare for this eventuality? Well, nothing and everything – all at the same time. There are those circumstances which reach far beyond our control;

the key is to take the given situation and make the most of it, and to move forward having learned something about ourselves. If this means taking more time to appreciate the little things in life…or savoring each moment with those we love… or simply reaching toward a long-unrealized goal… this is progress. This is positive.

This is appreciation.

This is not to say we will not each continually be faced with new obstacles each and every day – some minor, some life-changing – but at the very least, we will be better prepared to deal with them.

Carpe Diem always…

Those who seize the day are those who have few regrets.

System Installed of each of the district’s six schools.

This new system requires visitors to show identification prior to entering any of the buildings. After visitors

step up to the camera and ring a buzzer, a school staff member will ask the visitors to identify themselves, display their identification and indicate their reasons for visiting the school. Once a visitor has been cleared for entrance, the door will be unlocked and he or she can enter the building and sign in at the front desk.

This may seem to be an unnecessary inconvenience for visitors to East Islip’s schools, but it will provide an opportunity to identify visitors prior to entry into a building, thus providing another layer of security to protect students, faculty and staff.

The new surveillance systems are already in place and being used at several of the district’s elementary schools.

All six systems will be operational during the week of February 18th.

Actor and science advocate Alan Alda, a founding member of the Center for Communicating Science, noted that the question “What is time?” is a deep one. “I hope that what the scientists do is not take this as a challenge to explain the inexplicable, but to explore the mysterious,” Alda said.

The Flame contest began last spring with Alda’s own childhood query: What is a flame? This year, the contest collected hundreds of questions from current 11-year-olds. Several asked “what is time?” or related questions, such as: How would you make a time machine? Why can’t you go back in time? Why does everyone age? How can you tell what time it is without looking at a clock?

How many dimensions are

there? How did time begin?

“We don’t expect you to have the definitive answer,” said Elizabeth Bass, CCS director. “We would like entries to explore the nature of time from any scientific perspective – from physics to psychology, chemistry to computer science. Speculation is fine, as long as it’s clear you’re speculating. If you can intrigue kids, teach them something, and make them want to know more about the nature of time, that’s terrific.”

Last year, in the first year of the Flame Challenge, scientists around the world submitted hundreds of answers. The winning entry, a cartoon video with an original song, was created by Ben Ames, a physics doctoral student at the University

of Innsbruck. For more information on entering or judging the contest, or to see last year’s top entries, please visit www.

FlameChallenge.org.

The annual Flame Challenge contest is part of the Center for Communicating Science’s mission of helping scientists communicate more effectively with the public. Located in Stony Brook University’s School of Journalism, the Center gives innovative Communicating Science courses for graduate students in the sciences, and conducts workshops around the country. Alan Alda is a founding member of the Center and a Visiting Professor in the School of Journalism.

The Flame Challenge is being generously

sponsored this year by two nonprofit scientific societies: the American Chemical Society and the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS). The American Chemical Society is chartered by the U.S. Congress and has more than 164,000 members, making it the world’s largest singlediscipline scientific society.

It encourages its members to speak simply about their science and its importance to all of our lives. The American Association for the Advancement of Science is the world’s largest multidisciplinary scientific society, with some 261 affiliated groups serving 10 million individuals. Its mission is to “advance science and serve society.”

singled out both McHugh and Beth Abesami, a parent and committee member, for praise due to their exceptional help with the program. “Shadow Day not only helps the students see what the job is like, but it can also help them see if it’s the career they thought it was,” Lopiccolo added. “Many students had a wonderful day, and some said ‘Thank goodness, I now know that’s not the career for me.’ Both instances were very helpful and really helped them decide on their career choices and post-graduate studies.”

Shadow Day, the third and final phase of East Islip High School’s vaunted annual mentoring program, took place during January, as 93 participating students “shadowed” their career mentors. Many of these mentors were chosen during the two prior mentoring events, October’s Catch-a-Career Breakfast and December’s Meet My Mentor Breakfast.

The Mentor Me program, guided by teacher Bridget Lopiccolo with the support of teacher Paul McHugh and the East Islip/ Dowling School Business Partnership’s Career Development Committee, is in its 10th year of providing East Islip’s students with outstanding insight into careers.

Students interested in medicine shadowed their mentors at various hospitals and medical offices across Long Island on Jan. 10, including the

Connetquot art teacher Elizabeth Sullivan annually designs giant theme posters for PARP, representing each grade level; in the past few years she created posters with tropical and carnival themes. “This year the theme was ‘Mad Science’,” Sullivan said.

“At our PARP Committee meeting, some of us secretly decided it would be a very entertaining idea – for both students and adults – to pick one teacher from each grade level and turn them into a ‘Mad Scientist Caricature’ for their respective grade’s poster.” The resulting Mad Scientist posters – of teachers Doreen Burke Fazio (kindergarten), Rose Eger (first grade), Crystal Chiari (second grade), Wendy Frees (third grade), Nicole Hoffmann (fourth grade) and David Lake (fifth grade) – were hung in the cafeteria for all of the students to enjoy.

Each young reader filled out a bubble-shaped form, designed by fifth-grade teacher Elizabeth Vann, enabling them to record their minutes of reading each night. The PTA then collected the bubble forms and displayed them on the students’ Mad Scientist, providing the children with a visual indicator of which grade levels were reading the most.

As a sendoff to the PARP program, Connetquot held a special Bodacious Book Show assembly on February 14th, focusing on the classic tale of Jack

“Tis the season to be reading!” exclaimed Deborah Smith, the principal of Connetquot Elementary School, celebrating the two weeks of the Parents as Reading Partners program with her students.

“Every student is reading each night and recording the amount of minutes – or possibly hours! – they read with a partner,” Smith explained at the start of PARP. “The students will be competing against other classes to see which class and grade level reads the most, and our PARP Committee has worked diligently to organize assemblies during the first two weeks of February, all associated with the love of reading.”

A special performance on February 1st served to kick off PARP, with fifth-grade students singing and dancing to Tom Chapin’s “Great Big Words,” arranged and choreographed by Connetquot’s beloved music teacher, Eileen “Eggy” Egbert.

The song was followed by instrumentalists playing “I Can’t Spell Hippopotamus” on resonator bells and glockenspiel, while a vivacious closing performance of the “Figurative Language” rap song brought down the house. A lively game of reading bingo ended the morning’s events.

“The kickoff encouraged everyone to read and launched PARP into high gear,” said Smith.

of Calcium Hydride and De-ionized Water as an Alternate Chemical Reaction in Airbags in Order to Optimize Reaction Rate and Safety During Deployment.”

Meehan’s paper was on “Optimal Species for Native Grass Growth: Implications for Biofuel Independence.”

The students were guided by their chemistry teacher at East Islip, Kathleen Dinota, as well as science teachers Lisa Neri and Jim Marino, who Dinota cited as instrumental in helping them complete their projects.

“Our fledgling research program begins in ninth

grade, preparing students to conduct independent research in their junior and senior years,” said Dinota, who is actively looking to expand the program.

“We are currently in our second year of research at the high school,” added Kristen Cummings, the director of the district’s math and science department. “I am delighted that these young men had the opportunity to experience LISEF and would like to congratulate them and our dedicated research teacher, Kathleen Dinota, for all of their hard work.”

On February 1st, School-Business Partnerships of Long Island, Inc. (SBPLI) held its fourth annual fundraising breakfast at Farmingdale State College’s Knapp Hall to benefit the Fred Breithut Scholarship. The theme of this year’s breakfast was Super Bowl of Smarts.

The scholarship, named after the late founder of SBPLI, is made possible for up to four years, with

an amount of $1,000 per semester. Among the requirements for students to become eligible are enrollment in SBPLI’s FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) Long Island robotics program while in high school for at least two years; a combined SAT score of 1100 or better; and enrollment in Farmingdale State College’s four-year

programs in Mathematics, Engineering Technology, Computer Systems or related fields of study.

All scholarship applications are due by March 1st. The winning recipient will be named at the 14th annual Long Island FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) Robotics Competition, which will take place on April 4th6th at Hofstra University.
