Much Ado About “Nothing” By: Jamie Lynn Ryan Apparently, according to some, I write about “nothing” week after week. This sentiment, in the form of a threepage letter from a reader, arrived on my desk this morning and, rather than let it go and write what was intended to be a positive article, I have decided to address it. First off, writers – or at least the good ones – write for their audiences. First rule of Journalism. If you work for a hard-hitting investigative daily newspaper, well then, the content you produce should have a similar feel. If you write for a fluff-filled monthly magazine, likewise, you would be advised to adjust your tone accordingly. Here, where our audience is

made up of Long Island community members interested in reading about the local happenings at their schools and libraries, upcoming meetings and events, and the recent achievements of their friends and neighbors… well that’s a very specific, unique demographic now, isn’t it? It would be virtually impossible to cater to each and every person out there and their individual expectations; and yes, sometimes my columns may be about “nothing” in particular – just a human interest, weekly feature, usually drawn from personal experiences, that hopefully strikes a chord with the general population. To criticize that concept as a whole is to be severely misinformed about what this newspaper is, what type of content we pro-

mote and what the majority of our audience appreciates. That said, I hope that this particular reader – who, for all her bitter hatred of this column, apparently still feels the need to read it each and every week – now understands the medium, and the intended message, at least a little better. Sometimes, “nothing” is just as good as something… I believe there was a fairly successful TV show which was modeled on precisely this concept at one point. Just because something doesn’t interest you does not make it uninteresting. And if you don’t even take the time to explore those things which are outside of your accepted norm, well then, I suppose you’ll never know what you might be missing out on.

Grand Opening Celebration

A Suffolk County Sheriff’s Office K-9 team was recently called in by the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) to perform a narcotics sniff related to currency that had been seized during a narcotics investigation. The Sheriff’s Deputy “K-9 Bob,” a dual purpose narcotic and patrol service dog, was put to the task of locating six different packages of seized funds hidden in various locations and rooms. K-9 Bob successfully sniffed out approximately $1 million in uncirculated currency, linking the seized funds to the

narcotics investigation. The currency was entered into evidence and remains in the custody of the DEA Task Force. The Suffolk County Sheriff’s Office has three deputy and two corrections canines. In addition to performing narcotics searches to aid in investigations, they also sniff out suspected drugs within the county correctional facilities, locate suspects and victims, and find evidence at or near crime scenes. K-9 Bob is a Belgian Malinois. He is 2.5 years old and has been with the Suffolk County Sheriff’s

Office since 2010. Sheriff Vincent DeMarco praised K-9 Bob for his abilities, and thanked his handler, Deputy Sheriff Greg Negra, for his work in this investigation. “Our K-9s provide important law enforcement services to the community, and to other policing jurisdictions. If a child ever goes missing or a dangerous suspect is on the loose, highly trained dogs like Bob are totally dedicated and thrive on success in whatever mission they are given.”

Swirls and Twirls selfserve frozen yogurt shop (www.swirlsandtwirlsusa.c om), featuring 21 flavors, 43 toppings and endless possibilities, announces the grand opening celebration of its fourth location at 248 Smithtown Boulevard, Nesconset, in the CVS Shopping Center, on Saturday, September 15th, from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. Swirls and Twirls franchisee owner Kristina Barbara, a member of the Nesconset Chamber of Commerce, invites the public to stop by to savor “the ultimate healthy indulgence” on grand opening day for half-price. There will be music, games, free raffles and radio stations WBLI and 94X will be broadcasting live on location throughout the day. Plus one lucky person will win free yogurt for a year. In celebration of this special occasion and as part of their commitment to give back to the local community, fifty percent of all Swirls and Twirls proceeds during the celebration will be donated to the Smithtown Children’s Foundation to assist them in providing financial and emotional support to the children and families of the Smithtown School District, which encompasses Nesconset, St. James and Smithtown. “I am so excited to be opening this new location in Nesconset” says Barbara. “As a certified health coach who loves working with children and families, opening a Swirls and Twirls gives me the opportunity to do what I do best, promote and encourage lifelong healthy choices. And what better way to do that then to provide healthy treats to the people in my community in a fun, safe, family friendly environment.” She continues, “My commitment to

encouraging healthy living drives me every day, and so I have decided to make our first day all about supporting the Smithtown Children’s Foundation, a local organization that shares my commitment to helping children and families live healthier lives.” The Nesconset location is the fourth Swirls and Twirls to open since the successful launch of this chain began with the opening of the first shop in Massapequa Park in May 2011. Ten more shops are expected to open during the year on Long Island, in New Jersey, Massachusetts, and Connecticut through the recent availability of Swirls and Twirls franchise opportunities www.swirlsandtwirlsusa.c om/franchise. As with all of their other locations, Swirls and Twirls will be using Facebook, Twitter and interactive mobile marketing tactics to connect and dialogue with their customers. The Nesconset Swirls and Twirls setting features a vibrant and unique interior, striking architectural lighting, music from a state-of-theart sound system and free Wi-Fi. It has seven yogurt machines each serving two flavors; with a third handle allowing customers to create a swirled flavor. All premium yogurt flavors are kosher and most include gluten-free, nonfat, low-fat, no sugar added, dairy-free varieties, and are as low as 70 calories per ? cup serving. The topping stations contain more than seven wet, nine fruit and 33 dry toppings. “Swirls and Twirls was designed to encourage people of all ages to have fun and get creative while enjoying a healthy snack,” says Barbara, “With all these delectable options,

there are endless combination possibilities to create your own healthy treat; your only limit is your imagination!” After swirling up their own creations, yogurt fans move to a weigh-in station where the fee for their treat is only 49 cents an ounce. From 11am-8pm on opening day only, that price will be 25 cents an ounce (half price). Tables and chairs and a super comfortable couch encourage customers to gather and enjoy Swirls and Twirls yogurt in a friendly, fun, party like atmosphere. All spoons, cups and napkins are made from recycled materials. Leveraging technology to enhance the Swirls experience, on-site touch screens have been incorporated into every shop. One provides easy access to ingredient, nutrition and allergy information while the other, a 55” live Facebook monitor, allows customers to post status updates and photos, and see them appear online in an instant. In addition, Swirls and Twirls encourages users to sign up for their loyalty program to earn free yogurt. Once a member, customer’s points are automatically sent to their cell phones making tracking and redemption a snap. Nesconset hours are Sunday-Thursday from 11 a.m. to 10:30 p.m. and Friday-Saturday from 11 a.m. to 11:30 p.m. For more information, call 631-656-6519 or visit www.swirlsandtwirlsusa.c om and www.facebook.com/swirls andtwirls.

“Visits” ing door knocks, which led to spur-of-the-moment nature hikes and abductions to breakfast venues. The morning I moved away, June sent me off with a plate of delicate Finnish pancakes. I promised ongoing visits, and returned to their home for dinners, talks and bear hugs in their yellow-tiled foyer, year after year after year, for ten sweet years. Now, June and Ralph, the birds (and there’ve been generations of them), are regulars in my yard. Morning and evening, these crimson puppeteers use radar, charm and invisible marionette strings to pull me from the walnuts on my countertop to the back porch railing. They “chip chip chip” outside my bedroom window at dawn, flutter near the kitchen window while I

make coffee, and, when my car zips into the driveway, fly over the rooftop to wait out back for their nuts. The original Ralph snatched his walnut from the railing while June hid in a nearby branch, awaiting his return from market. Sometimes he’d snack on the steps before flying back to feed June, beak to beak. But once, and only once, in January 2006, the original June appeared calmly, right next to Ralph, on the steps. That was the afternoon I returned from the veterinarian after having to put my fifteen year-old cat to sleep. When I leaned against the back door window to gaze into the yard, there they were, en pair, like a protective hug. Back in 1974, at the conclusion of sixth grade, the class parents collected money

for a present for Ralph and June. Knowing full well that these super-teachers would use a gift certificate to enrich their classrooms instead of themselves, the moms decided to give them something concrete, to keep. They chose a statue of a nature scene, its wooden base inscribed: “To the Laakkonens, for total dedication, from your outdoor learning classes, 1973 - 1974.” Ralph and June did keep that statue, front and center, in the bay window of their house. After they died, I passed by one day when the house was being shown to buyers. The real estate agent allowed me to step into the yellow-tiled foyer and walk through the house one last time. It was empty, except for a few items awaiting cleanup by their grown children. Still there: the statue. Realizing it had no specif-

ic meaning to their kids, I called, asked, and was graciously given, after all those years, a gift I’d seen presented to beloved teachers when I was only just eleven. It’s in my home, now, in a place of honor. A statue of a nature scene: a mother cardinal, feeding her babies, taking care of the young. The same thing that’s happening in my yard, year after year after year. By now, the original Ralph and June cardinals have passed on. Their children, today’s Ralphs and Junes, have become progressively more comfortable with the back door/railing arrangement. Even the females. A few days ago, a new June fluttered midair, near the center panel of the nine-paned door, just twelve inches from me. While I opened up to place a walnut on one rail,

she watched from the other, and grabbed the nut before I’d even closed the door. I, like you, have suffered many losses. But I know (I do) that we really don’t leave each other. I believe that here, in life, we’re all out walking, on a great nature hike. The people who’ve died have “gone on ahead,” just a little further along up the trail. Of course, we’ll all get the chance, when the time is right, to “catch up.” While we’re here, though, our job (our joy) is to be who we really are, and to do what we really came to do. Like Ralph and June. And, on any good nature trail, while the people must travel it step after step, the birds are free to fly back and forth. And back again, for visits in time.

After my friends Ralph and June died within months of each other in 2003, a pair of cardinals appeared in my yard. Since they’d adored cardinals, and each Christmas sent cards depicting snowscapes lit by two tiny red birds, I named the rubyfeathered couple after them. Thereafter, the birds claimed a table at the finest outdoor restaurant in suburbia, and to this day, order the daily special: organic walnuts from Trader Joe’s. The human, June, first appeared in my life in 1973, as my sixth grade teacher, and two decades later, in 1994, as my cherished friend, when the Universe became a real estate broker, and placed me in an apartment right next door to her house. For eight months, I luxuriated in June and her husband Ralph’s Sunday-morn-

Memorial Dedication For More Information Call: 631-226-2636 - www.theneighbornewspapers.com

The Commack School District will mark the eleventh anniversary of September 11th with the dedication of a permanent 9/11 Memorial. The memorial is located next to the Heroes Memorial Track at Commack High School. A piece of steel acquired last September from the Twin Towers rests atop a granite pedestal, surrounded by walkways inlaid with engraved memorial bricks donated by the community, staff, and others. Four granite benches face the memorial, creating a restful setting to contemplate the sacrifices and bravery of the heroes of 9/11, and the precious

lives lost on that tragic day. All the labor and much of the material to construct the memorial was donated by the Gappsi Group, a Long Island home improvement company. “The people at Gappsi are just terrific,” said community relations consultant Debbie Virga. “From the get-go, Guiseppe Abbrancati has been involved in the design and planning of the project. He and his workers have bent over backwards to assist in supplying the beautiful granite, installing it, and making it a true symbol of democracy for our students and community. It’s such a magnificent

tribute, and the memorial is a legacy for future generations.” All are welcome to attend the dedication and annual candlelight ceremony on September 11th. The ceremony begins at 6 p.m., on the football field at Commack High School. Local and national dignitaries and religious leader will be in attendance. The Marine Corp League will present a 21 gun salute, and the Commack Fire Department, and Commack Volunteer Ambulance Corp will participate. High School senior Anthony Funcheon will perform his original song, You’re Not Alone, available on iTunes.

The annual Pink Rock Classic to benefit Mather Hospital’s Fortunato Breast Health Center Fund for Uninsured Women is set for Thursday, October 11th, at Great Rock Golf Club in Wading River. The Fund was established to provide access to state-of-the-art breast screenings and diagnostic procedures for women without health insurance. Pink Rock was cofounded by breast cancer

survivor Jean Larsen of Stony Brook and her colleague, Walter Hurney. Since its inception in 2007 the golf outing has raised more than $267,000. “Just in the year 2011 alone we raised more than $54,000 for women in our community, helping 26 patients with 49 procedures,” said Larsen. “That includes mammograms, breast ultrasounds, biopsies, breast surgeries, chemotherapy and radiation treatments.

“Since Long Island has one of the nation’s highest rates of breast cancer, it is crucial that we all help our neighbors in this fight. Breast cancer affects every family member physically, emotionally and financially.” For information or to register, go to www.thepinkrock.org or call Laura Juliano, Public Affairs Department, Mather Hospital, at 631.476.2723.

University School of Medicine. Eager to begin their medical training, the new students recognized that they will have many challenges in medical school and felt excited about entering a career devoted to helping people. “As a child, I had two dreams, to become a professional soccer player and a doctor,” said Marshall Leonard, a Columbus, Ga., native who played Major League Soccer for six years after graduating from the University of Virginia with a BA in African & AfroAmerican Studies. “My focus and energy is now on medicine, and I am honored to be a member of the

Stony Brook Class of 2016.” Another athlete who expects to bring his passion for excellence from the playing field to medical clinics is Michael Coulter from Yorba Linda, Calif., who played quarterback for the Stony Brook Seawolves in 2011 graduated with a BS in Biochemistry. “I came to Stony Brook as an undergraduate because of its strong scientific reputation, the opportunity to play college football, and to study in a unique place away from home,” said Coulter. “I have observed the momentum of Stony Brook Medicine in recent years and am excited about the opportunities to study and

contribute to the institution as a medical student. I know I will be challenged and stretched to my capacity, thus making me the best physician possible.” Following a traditional route based on scientific research and education, Michelle Mo, from Berkeley Heights, N.J., who has a BA in Biology from Washington University, and a MS and PhD in Pharmacology from Yale University, will expand her scientific expertise to include patient care as a physician-scientist when she completes medical school. “The idea of becoming a physician-scientist so I can continue to conduct research in areas related to biomarkers of disease, plus combine that with new skills as a clinician, is an exciting prospect for making an immediate impact on patients’ lives,” said Mo. Eve Feinberg, a native Long Islander who grew up in Rockville Center, took a circuitous route to pursuing medicine. Most recently, Feinberg was a theatre artist and set designer with a BA and MFA in Theatre from Barnard College and the University of Maryland, respectively. Feinberg said that the great attention to detail, organization, and human ingenuity involved in the theatre arts is not unlike that developed in successful hospital settings. “I took a non-linear path to medicine, and that process taught me to understand myself and prepared me to begin a life-long commitment to medicine,” said Feinberg, who also overcame visual impairment as a child and young adult before deciding to become a doctor. In 2012 the School of Medicine received an all-time high of 4,918 applicants. Among the 124 incoming students, their cumulative grade point average is 3.7 on a scale of 4.0. Two of the most common undergraduate schools attended by the incoming class were Stony Brook University (22) and Cornell University (8).

The Stony Brook University School of Medicine Class of 2016 officially entered the world of medical training on August 19 at the School’s traditional “White Coat” ceremony. All 124 students with varied educational and professional backgrounds and from 61 colleges and university nationwide put on their new physician-intraining white coat and took the Hippocratic Oath for the first time. Held at Stony Brook since 1998, the White Coat ceremony is an initiation rite for incoming medical students at established medical schools around the country. The white coat is symbolic to medicine as a profession based on professionalism, scientific excellence, responsibility, and compassionate care. To accommodate the growing medical needs and specialized care for the U.S. population, the Association of American Medical Colleges recognizes the need to train more physicians in coming years. “Wearing the white coat brings with it much responsibility, as a caregiver, problem-solver, scientist and communicator,” said Kenneth Kaushansky, MD, MACP., Senior Vice President for the Health Sciences, and Dean, School of Medicine. “I promise you, your path in medicine will never be dull, filled with opportunities to help transform the lives of countless patients. The Class of 2016 comes to Stony Brook equipped with a myriad of talents, interests, humanity and academic success, all of which will serve you well in your medical journey that starts with your Stony Brook Medicine white coat.” During the ceremony, Stony Brook University School of Medicine also recognized its 2012 Distinguished Alumnus – Dr. Douglas S. Katz, ’90, Director of Body Imaging and Vice Chair for Clinical Research and Education at Winthrop-University Hospital, and Professor of Clinical Radiology at Stony Brook

upcoming civil service exams by visiting http://www.suffolkcountyn y.gov/Departments/civilse rvice.aspx and clicking on “Current List of Exams.” Each exam listing includes information on if and where the job openings are available. While some exams are administered for future job vacancies only, it is in prospective employees’ best interest to take any exams as they are offered to ensure that they are placed on the Civil Service

Eligible List when openings do occur. Suffolk County administers competitive exams for job titles in over 241 jurisdictions including the county, its 10 towns and the multitude of villages, school districts and fire, water and library special districts. In past years, up to 300 exams were administered for these jurisdictions, which collectively employ almost 50,000 individuals.

Generous Donation game that pitted VP’s and executives from Estée Lauder against a team of assemblers. Another squad was made up of employees of the company’s plant in Pennsylvania, who rented a bus and left at 5 a.m. to be on Long Island for the event. “At the end of the day, we had a lot of fun and accomplished our goal of raising money and awareness for breast cancer research,” Carlos added. “As employees of Estée Lauder Companies, we are very committed to Mrs. Evelyn Lauder’s vision to find a cure for breast cancer. It was great to see the parents, coaches and players embrace that as well. We have formed a great relationship with the LIJSL, the Soccer Park staff and the referees, and we hope to do even more together in the future.” This is the eighth year that the friendly games have taken place at the Peter Collins Soccer Park, which is donated by the LIJSL for the event. It is the first year that youth teams have taken part, and there are future plans being discussed for a women’s division and a clinic for younger players. The $1,700 raised on August 19th adds to the more than $8.5 million that the Estée Lauder Company has raised for the Breast Cancer Research Foundation and

fundraising efforts will continue right through October, which is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Statistics have shown that one out of nine Long Island women will be diagnosed with breast cancer during their lifetime. LIJSL players, coaches and families also contributed to the Peter Collins Soccer Park Food Drive during the Spring Season and the league was able to donate 811 pounds of food to Long Island Cares. “On behalf of all of the children and families served by Long Island Cares, Elana Sissons, Food Drive Coordinator, and I are truly grateful to the LIJSL for your support,” said Paule Pachter, Executive Director of Long Island Cares. “This donation will go a long way towards ensuring that more Long Island children and families do not go hungry.”

SENDING KIDS TO CAMP - This summer, King Kullen Grocery Company, with generous donations made by its customers, contributed $6,000 to support Family Service League’s camp program. Over 250 children were able to experience day or sleep-away camps, enjoying a range of outdoor activities including music and art programs, nature classes, and more. King Kullen District Manager Frank Villardi recently stopped by the Girl Scouts of Suffolk County’s co-ed Camp Sobaco in Yaphank to see how the campers were enjoying the pool on a hot summer day. A definite thumbs up!

Volunteer Today September 9th through 15th is National Suicide Prevention Week. A person dies by suicide every 14.2 minutes in the United States. Worldwide that number is even higher, with a suicide occurring every 40 seconds. Suicide is the 10th leading cause of all deaths in the United States and the 3rd leading cause of death among 15 to 24 year-olds.

With over 1,500 travel teams in Suffolk, Nassau and Queens, the Long Island Junior Soccer League (LIJSL) is the largest league in the Eastern New York Youth Soccer Association (ENYYSA). The LIJSL recently gave back to the local community by hosting fundraisers at the Peter Collins Soccer Park in Plainview for the Breast Cancer Research Foundation and Long Island Cares. On Sunday, August 19th, a dozen teams of Estée Lauder employees and executives, and local Under-14 and Under-15 girls teams from the Long Island Junior Soccer League, took part in a series of friendlies to support the fight against breast cancer. “The focus today is on fun and on creating breast cancer awareness,” said Carlos Ospina, an Estée employee and organizer of the event. “The assistance we get from the LIJSL, the park staff who do a great job for us, and the referees who volunteer their time, is just extraordinary.” The Lynbrook/East Rockaway Stingrays, who are coached by Carlos, the East Meadow Stingrays and other LIJSL teams from Hicksville, Sound Beach, Brentwood and Carle Place, among others, were in attendance.
