Flashbacks & Fun Times By: Jamie Lynn Ryan You never know what you might find when cleaning out the closet. I recently came across a handful of those origami-type, square and triangle-folded notes that we all used to exchange like crazy back in middle school.

I remember writing dozens upon dozens of them and slipping them through the vents of my friends’ lockers between classes, then excitedly waiting for them to write back so I would have my own “mail” to look forward to the next time I stopped at my own locker.

How funny.

It’s too bad I didn’t save them all, as I’m sure they would have made for some fascinating reading all these

years later. Notes full of class schedules, song lyrics, lists of boys we had crushes on…the usual pre-teen drama that seemed oh-soimportant at the time. We even developed our own language of sorts, with abbreviations and symbols that (so we thought) only we could comprehend.

Such innocence.

And then there were the “love” letters, those cute little poems surrounded by lots of hearts and x’s and o’s, and of course the requisite “A.A.F.” signifying the “always and forever” mentality that all 12 year-olds seem to have with regard to “love.” As corny as it all sounds now, there was definitely an underlying sweetness to those types of notes, a sense that somehow, with that

scrawled message of affection, everything was “official.”

It’s a wonder, thinking back on it, how any of us managed to get any work done in between composing these little nuggets of wisdom – because you know they all had to be written during class time. After all, how else to make sure our friends were continuously updated on our comings and goings from the last 40 minute class!

So many memories encapsulated by those little folded pieces of paper. A slice of life, preserved for all eternity on an 8-1/2 x 11-inch piece of loose-leaf paper. It doesn’t get any better than that.

Can’t wait to see what other treasures my closet will uncover.

G.E. is most recognized for his work as musical director of Saturday Night Live and his work with Roger Waters. With over 700 attendees at last years event, this year promises to be bigger and better.

Advanced ticket sales are available by calling 631.366.2978 or online at www.rockinforautism.org.

“Its heartwarming to know that each year these bands donate their time to help DDI raise funds,”

commented Steve Alliano, Musical Director for Rockin’ for Autism. “They put on a great show for the hundreds of people that are looking to support a worthwhile cause.”

Athletes Of The Month

Track star Zach Cammer and exceptional fencer Alexandra Alpy are our two distinguished Athletes of the Month for December.

Zach recently won the Mile at the North Shore Invitational, earning him a spot in the mile field at the 106th Millrose Games on February 16th. “Because of the level of competition, I didn’t go into the race thinking about the Milrose,” said Zach. “There was a state champion and several other really top runners, but the race began a little slow and I maintained a good position in the field. When it came down to the last few laps, I knew I had a chance. I had plenty of kick left and gave it my all.”

Zach, who sees himself as a cross-country runner, has excelled in the mile and surprised many at the Invitational with his

speed. Zach is a member of Boy Scout Troop 34 and is finishing up on his Eagle Scouting requirements.

Zach should have some big news on the horizon about where he hopes to be next fall. Stay tuned!

Alexandria Alpy accomplished a major feat by winning gold at this season’s Brentwood Fencing Tournament. This seems like an enormous accomplishment, since Alex is only a sophomore, but we learned from Alex that in fencing, age may not play as important a role as one might think.

“A really dangerous fencer can often be new to the sport, because they react to an offensive move in a way that an experienced fencer would not, and you need to be ready for that,” said Alex.

“I have been working hard during the off-

season,” continued Alex. “I fence year-round. I went to the nationals this summer in California, where I gained valuable experience, and I participate in crew at LI Rowing, and that really keeps me in great condition for fencing.” Alex enjoys the individuality of fencing.

“Fencing is all about focus.

There is so much going on all around you that it’s important to remain calm and stay focused,” she said.

“Winning the Brentwood Tournament was about me being more focused that my competition.”

Whitman will host the Suffolk County Fencing Championships on Saturday, February 9th, when Long Island’s finest will be matching their skills against one another, including our newest women’s epee champion, Alexandria Alpy.

SOUPER BOWL TIME - Your favorite NFL teams may or may not be playing in this season’s Super Bowl, but that shouldn’t stop you from helping Countrywood Primary Center tackle hunger by donating cans of soup that will be given to the Huntington Food Council to help local families in need. Countrywood’s second-grade Student Council is coordinating the efforts. Friday, February 1st, is the last day of this annual event. Go Countrywood!

PUPPETS FOR PEDIATRIC - Silas Wood students in Mrs. Aragones’ Home and Careers classes created animal puppets to donate to the children in Huntington Hospital’s pediatric department. During the Home and Careers sewing unit, the students learned basic sewing skills that they used to design and construct these warm and engaging felt puppets.

Weddings are typically expensive affairs. Couples may be willing to go the extra mile and stretch their finances for their big day, but what about their guests? Couples ask much of their out-of-town wedding guests, who must arrange for travel and lodging and possibly even childcare if they are bringing young children.

Because traveling to a wedding can be such a costly expenditure, many couples look for ways to alleviate some of the financial pressure that this travel places on their guests. The following are a few ways couples can do just that.

How To Help Guests Save On Travel

* Find an airport-friendly wedding destination. Couples who can get married within a short distance of a major airport can save their guests a significant amount of money. A major airport has more flights, and that can translate to more options and more affordable flights for your guests. In addition, a wedding destination that is close to an airport reduces the chance that guests will have to pay for rental cars.

A cab ride to the hotel might be less expensive than a rental car, which guests may not need aside from getting to and from the airport. * Inquire about group airline rates. Couples know to negotiate group hotel rates for their wedding guests, but few may know it’s possible to negotiate group airline rates as well. If a large number of your wedding guests will be traveling from the same city, contact the major airlines to see if they offer group travel discounts. Many airlines do, so comparison shop to find your guests the best deal.

* Consider a longer engagement. A longer engagement can save your guests money on travel. Couples who choose to have a longer engagement and send savethe-date cards out early are giving their guests more time to book flights and find deals. Flights tend to be less expensive when booked well in advance, so a longer engagement gives guests more time to find a flight that’s affordable. In addition, travelers who can book early often get the first crack at the best flight times, saving themselves the nuisance of taking a red-eye flight or traveling early in the morning.

What would a wedding day be without flowers? The beauty and the aroma of fresh-cut flowers can create a welcoming atmosphere and complement the beauty and the style of a wedding wardrobe. Flowers are often the first things that guests see upon arriving for the ceremony, and they may even be something guests take home at the end of the night.

Flowers create an air of romance, and most couples want to make flowers -whether fresh or silk -- an integral part of their wedding day.

As with any decision when planning a wedding, choosing the right flowers requires some research and a basic knowledge of which flowers will convey the message and the theme of your wedding. The number of colors, textures and combinations that can be created are so numerous that couples may feel the decision on the floral arrangements is best left to the florist. But it doesn’t take a lot of expertise to know what you want, and it is important for couples to convey their feelings to the florist. Consider these tips when choosing a florist and selecting flowers. * Experts advise that a couple start looking for a florist at least six months before t h e wedding, especially if the wedding will take p l a c e during the peak season of May

through September.

Get recommendations from friends as to which florist they used or find out if your wedding planner or banquet hall manager recommends a particular florist. Some catering halls have agreements with florists, and they work together. * Browse magazines to get ideas of what you like. You also may be able to find a florist through an advertisement or if he or she has been featured in publications. Keep a scrapbook of the colors, types of flowers and arrangements and any other ideas that attract you so you will be able to present this information to the florist. * Establish your flower budget prior to sitting down with the florist. You should expect to pay at least 8 percent of the total wedding cost on flowers. Get an estimate on the floral arrangement and then tweak your needs according to your budget. Many florists can modify arrangements and find a middle ground with regard to cost. Selecting flowers that are in-season will result in more affordable rates than if you desire exotic or out-of-season blooms. * Once you’ve hired the florist, you can come up with a wedding flower worksheet that establishes all of your needs. The florist may ask for specific information, such as photos of the bride’s gown as well as the colors and styles that the wedding party will be wearing. A good florist knows that a bouquet should not overpower or detract from the beauty of the bride.

The florist may want to mimic textures from the dress, such as beading, with smaller flowers or berries within the arrangement. The groom’s boutonniere is traditionally one of the flowers from the bride’s bouquet so that the look is cohesive. * Ceremony flowers may be traditional, and some houses of worship have strict guidelines as to what can and cannot be used. However, reception flowers can be where you show off your creativity and whimsy. After all, this is a party and it should be fun.

You may want to give the florist more freedom of expression with regard to reception centerpieces and flowers that adorn other areas of the room. *

Because receptions tend to take place in the evening hours and are often indoor affairs, experts say that added lighting may be needed to put emphasis on the floral centerpieces and help present them in their best light.

You may want to think about hiring a lighting designer to spotlight some areas of the

open fully. Minimize changes close to your wedding date as most things will already be started.

* To give the impression that there are more flowers than there really are, use fragrance and filler as your tools.

Fragrant flowers can fill up the room with a welcoming aroma. Look for frangipani, lilies, hyacinths, jasmine, and sweet peas for a big impact. Florists know how to stretch arrangements by using greenery and other filler to lend bulk without too much extra cost.

* It is possible to make your own centerpieces or bouquets if you so desire. Simplicity will work best for the novice. Think about grouping similarhued calla lilies together for a bridal bouquet. Hydrangea and peonies are larger flowers that can easily fill up a vessel on a table as a centerpiece.

White flowers will coordinate with any color scheme and could be the easiest to mix and match. White blooms include sweet pea, rose, camellia, stephanotis, narcissus, gardenia, orchid, lily of the valley, jasmine, and gypsophila.

*Experienced florists will know how long it takes certain buds to open and show off their maximum beauty.

Therefore, expect a florist to be working on your floral arrangements as much as a week before the wedding date -- purchasing containers, cleaning flowers and waiting for certain ones to

Best Man & Maid Of Honor Roles

Being chosen as a best man or a maid of honor is a significant and meaningful honor. Those roles have evolved over the years, but these special participants must still perform some of the traditional duties of the past, including serving as the official witnesses to the ceremony. The following is a rundown of the various duties maids of honor and best men are now expected to handle once they’re chosen for these distinguished honors.

Prior To The Wedding Before the wedding takes place, the maid of honor will closely assist the brideto-be with many of the important decisions related to the look and the feel of the wedding. She typically accompanies the bride to dress shops to select gowns for the bride and bridesmaids. Much in the same manner, the best man will assist

the groom-to-be with choosing tuxedoes or suits and also with coordinating with the ushers to ensure they know when to go for fittings.

Although the best man will serve as a sounding board for the groom, traditionally the bride and her bridesmaids have taken on the majority of the wedding planning, so the maid of honor can expect to play a larger role than the best man. The maid of honor may be asked to delegate certain assignments, such as helping to find wedding vendors or addressing invitations. She may go with the bride for makeup and hairstyle trials. Together with the bridesmaids, she will plan a bridal shower party and a bachelorette excursion. She may select a wedding gift for the couple and present it on behalf of all the wedding attendants.

The best man will coordinate the

Inspired By Kate Middleton, Brides Choose Classic Jewelry

Carol McDonald Photography

800-Woodloch (Opt. 7) | Woodloch.com/Weddings 250489N0130

Ever since Kate Middleton walked down the aisle at Westminster Abbey in her fabulous fitted gown and crystal teardrop earrings, brides everywhere have been emulating her classic, elegant style. Fashion jewelry leader CAROLEE quickly named its popular version of the earring “The Kate” -- and at $32 it’s within reach of elegant brides in every price range.

“Throughout 2011, brides from Kate Middleton to Hollywood celebrities chose very classic styling for their jewelry,” said Jill Maier, Vice President of Design at CAROLEE. “We’re with them on that level, and we have an extensive collection of beautiful designer crystal and pearl bridal jewelry to suit the tastes of today’s discerning brides.”

Ms. Maier has these tips for brides who want to look royal -- British or American style: - Choose crystal and pearl styles that are distinctive yet not overwhelming in scale - Balance the proportions of your earrings and necklace. If your earrings and necklace “match,” keep them close

in size with each other. Or if you choose major chandelier earrings, scale down your necklace or don’t wear one and make the wrist a focal point.

- Bracelets are an important bridal accessory, and they look great worn in multiples -- stacks of crystal bangles, mixes of decorative floral pearl and crystal links, or a combination of bangles and links.

To find a full range of elegant and affordable bridal jewelry, go to CAROLEE.com. Use code Metro12 and receive 20 percent off your purchase.

Tips For Writing Your Own Vows A wedding is a once-in-a-lifetime event for many couples, so brides and grooms wish for the event to be momentous and memorable. As such, couples are increasingly integrating personal nuances into their ceremonies and receptions to tailor weddings to their unique visions. The desire to include personalized wedding vows continues to be a popular trend.

If you are considering personalized wedding vows, first realize that it may not be a simple task. That’s because you want the message conveyed to be dear to your heart, and that can be challenging when faced with the pressures and planning of the rest of the wedding. That isn’t to say that writing your own vows is impossible. Here are some guidelines for personalizing your ceremony with your own sentiments.

Schedule Time For Writing Amid the bustle of dress fittings and interviews with photographers, it can be easy to put off the important task of writing vows for another day. But as any great writer can attest, it takes

writing - and rewriting - to achieve a finished product you can be proud of. Give the task of writing your vows your undivided attention. Mark it in on your calendar or set a reminder on your computer just as you would any other appointment.

Be Aware Of Ceremony Guidelines It is best to check with your officiant and confirm that personalized wedding vows are allowed. During civil ceremonies it’s often acceptable to customize vows as you see fit. However, during religious ceremonies there may be lines of scripture that need to be read or certain passages required. Before you spend hours working on the task, be sure that it is allowed and that your spouse and you are on the same page.

Jot Down Your Feelings Answer some questions about what marriage means to you and how you feel about your spouse. Try to avoid trite sayings and think from your heart and personal experiences. Think about what is the most important thing you want to promise to your future partner.

These notes can serve as the starting outline to help you organize the flow of the vows, using these words as a points for the actual vows. blueprint for the vows and building upon them.

Over 50 local high school students attended the Huntington Youth Council’s sixth annual “Youth Forum” Tuesday evening, sponsored by Councilwoman Susan A. Berland. Students from all nine public high schools in the Town of Huntington were invited to participate in a Town Hall meeting held exclusively for high school students and run by high school students.

The Huntington Youth Council selected topics for the “Youth Forum” due to their potential impact on the youth of our community as well as their national relevance. The topics were: legalization of marijuana, sex education in public schools and lowering the drinking age. Members of the Huntington Youth Council worked within committees to research and write summaries on each topic for the agenda.

After the Councilwoman welcomed the students, the League of Women Voters of Huntington’s Co-President Judie Gorenstein emphasized the importance of getting involved in the democratic process at an early age. Shortly thereafter, participants broke into small group discussions led by the Executive Board of the Huntington Youth Council to familiarize themselves with the issues prior to the public

hearings.

Huntington Youth Council Co-Supervisors Grant Berland and Jesse Feldman-Stein and Deputy Supervisor Dylan Wadler led discussions on each of the three topics as well as the open portion in which students were invited to share their opinions on issues not included in the agenda. Deputy Supervisor of Events Rachel Anszelowicz, Deputy Supervisor of Membership Philip Giambertone, Deputy Supervisor of Publications Annie Nikunen, Deputy Supervisor of Communications Spencer Young, Town Clerk Bianca Mielke and Deputy Town Clerk Tristan Hynes assisted from the dais.

Over 30 students testified in these discussions.

“I am pleased that so many students chose to attend the Huntington Youth Council’s sixth annual ‘Youth Forum’ to testify on the issues that concern them,” commented Councilwoman Berland.

“The “Youth Forum” gives young people the opportunity to communicate with their peers on the Huntington Youth Council on issues pertinent to their wellbeing. I would like to thank the League of Women Voters of Huntington and its Co-Presidents, Judie Gorenstein and Brenda

The highlight of the ceremony was when the new Chief Fred Steenson, Jr., honored his father, Fred Steenson, Sr., by bestowing him the rank of Honorary Chief for having achieved 50 years of active and dedicated service.

Last year, the 120 volunteer firefighters of Huntington Manor FD answered 1,133 emergency calls.

Celebrating Dr. King The students of James H. Boyd Intermediate School in the Elwood School District honored the birthday of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. through poetry, song, photographs and Dr. King’s own words during an assembly on January 18th.

The program’s masters of ceremonies were Student Council President Matthew Brignati and Vice President Kate Smythe.

Students watched a video

clip comprised of photos of Dr. King, combined with audio clips of him addressing audiences of civil rights believers.

Students also took to the podium and shared biographical presentations of Dr. King, as well as excerpts from his “I Have A Dream” speech.

In closing, a select third-, fourth- and fifthgrade chorus, led by music teacher Linda Romano, sang a harmonious version

of the song that became an anthem for the civil rights movement, “We Shall Overcome.”

Principal Pamela Fine addressed the school, stating, “We take this time to remember Dr. King and study his life because his powerful and critical message of peace, hope and respect is as important now as it was in his era.

20 Suffolk Zone 1 - NEIGHBOR NEWSPAPERS - Wednesday January 30, 2013

(NAPSI)-Here’s eyeopening news: Recently published research from Oklahoma State University suggests that improving quality of sleep not only reduces stress, but also helps us manage everyday stress.

“When you’re stressed and tired, every aspect of your life is affected,” says lifestyle expert and spokesperson for the Better Sleep Council, Lissa Coffey.

“Controlling stress and getting a good night’s

Sleep Better, Stress Less

rest start with evaluating your lifestyle.”

Dr. Douglas MacKay, N.D., vice president, scientific and regulatory affairs, Council for Responsible Nutrition, agrees: “Eating a healthy diet, taking vitamins

and other supplements, exercising regularly and getting adequate amounts of sleep are all part of a healthy lifestyle.”

Here are more tips to help you sleep better and stress less:

1. Eat a well-balanced diet.

2. Take your vitamins, including a daily multivitamin. Ask your doctor about other supplements, like valerian, for healthy sleep.

3.

Evaluate your mattress--consider replacing it if it’s five to seven years old or older.

Learn more about sleep at www. lifesupplemented.org and at www.bettersleep. org.
