oodhull Elementary School’s third through sixth-grade students learned about music on a new, deeper level this winter as they worked to write their own original pieces. To begin the process, the students started with simple rhythms before graduating to composing for the ukulele. After finalizing their compositions, the students took turns performing each other’s works as a test of their ability to both write and read music notation.

In addition, 20 not-for-profits were represented to provide information about resources available and services they offer. “With my appointment of Deputy Police Commissioner Risco Mention-Lewis last year, Suffolk County has made a commitment to break the cycle of recidivism,� said County Executive Steve Bellone. “One of the major components to breaking the cycle for repeat

offenders is to ensure they are prepared and have sustainable employment. This first of its kind job fair sponsored by Suffolk County is opening the doors to the ex-offender community and allowing potential employers access to an employable pool of personnel.� The Re-Entry job fair also hosted career preparation seminars, workshops and discussion groups including: Interviewing Skills, Resume Development, and Employment Incentive Information. One of the highlights of the event was the success stories shared by ex-offenders. The stories of the exoffenders were compelling and inspiring as they talked about their pursuits of higher education and their desire to turn their
lives around. Many spoke about the need to have a positive support network to help them through the process of returning to a productive life as an upstanding citizen. One of the participating companies shared with the Department of Labor, “I was very glad I attended Monday’s event. I am hoping to be able to employ at least a few of the candidates now, and possibly more individuals in the same circumstance, in the future.� Thank you for the opportunity,� Thomas Humphreys. Suffolk County plans to host the Re-Entry job fair at least once a year but based on responses from employment companies and participants will consider more frequent Re-Entry job fairs.

(NAPSI)—Granite countertops are the most popular option available when it comes to kitchen or bathroom remodeling. They look great, they’re durable, but they can also cost thousands of dollars. Granite requires special care and attention because it’s a natural stone. Here are a few tips to help you protect your investment: • Seal your countertops: According to the Marble Institute of America, an industry group, granite countertops should be sealed so that the stone is more resistant to dirt and spills. Check with the manufacturer or retailer about the best kind of sealer to use on food preparation areas. • Be careful what
you clean with: Never use ammonia—based products-or cleaners containing vinegar, lemon or orange—on your granite countertops. Avoid abrasive cleaners such as dry or soft cleansers. Don’t use cleaning products that contain acid such as bathroom, grout, or tub and tile cleaners. Specialty granite cleaners can be used, but they can be expensive. There’s a way to stretch your dollars. • Mind your budget: JAWS Glass & Hard Surface Cleaner (www.jawscleans. com) cleans granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, glass and even your flat-screen TV. It’s also non-toxic and costs less than most other cleaners because each
JAWS product is actually two bottles in one. (The cartridge refill is attached to the bottle.) There are also some other basic preventive measures you can take to protect your granite countertops: • Use coasters: Place a coaster under all glasses, particularly those containing alcohol or citrus juices that can etch or dull the surface of many stone countertops. • Use trivets or mats: They’ll protect your granite countertop from hot dishes and help avoid scratches. Granite countertops can really add spark to a kitchen or bathroom. Proper care will keep them looking beautiful.

Long Island Reads is an island-wide reading initiative sponsored by the Nassau Library System and the Public Libraries of Suffolk County. Each year, a committee of librarians chooses a book that was written by a Long Island author and/or set on Long Island. Book lovers in Nassau and Suffolk come together to read the book, participate in discussions, and enjoy related events in their public libraries. Sutton, the book selection for 2013, is a fictionalized account of one of the most notorious, romantic, and enigmatic criminals of the 20th century. It tells a story of economic pain that feels eerily modern, while unfolding a story of doomed love that is forever timeless. Author J.R. Moehringer will appear at the Long Island Reads author talk and book signing at the PlainviewOld Bethpage Public Library at 999 Old Country Road on Sunday, May 19th at 2 p.m. Books will be available for purchase and signing. The event is free, and all are welcome. Registration is not required. Raised in Manhasset, N.Y., J.R. Moehringer has written for newspapers across the United States, including the New York Times, Los Angeles Times, and Rocky Mountain News. In 2005, he published his first book, The Tender Bar, a bestselling memoir which recounts his childhood and early adulthood in Manhasset, where the local bar served as a sanctuary from his chaotic family life. Moehringer went on to become a Nieman Fellow at Harvard University, winning the Livingston Award for Young Journalists, as well as a feature writing award from the Associated Press News Executives Council. In 2000, he won the Pulitzer Prize for feature writing. Moehringer co-wrote Andrew Agassi’s bestselling autobiography Open in 2009. Sutton is his first work of fiction. In addition to the author event at the Plainview-Old Bethpage Public Library and library book discussions taking place across Long Island, there will be additional free programming, including: HOLBROOK Sachem Public Library, 150 Holbrook Road. Wilbur Miller, Professor of History at Stony Brook University, presents “A History of Bank Robbery.” Monday, May 13th at 7 p.m. HOLBROOK Sachem Public Library, 150 Holbrook Road. Filmmaker Rich Gold will introduce his onehour documentary film, “In the Footsteps of Willie Sutton.” Donald Shea, one of the three NYPD officers who arrested Sutton in 1952, will also be in attendance.

Onions: Yellow, Red, White
(NAPSI)—Onions— they’re used in a wide range of recipes, from breakfast to supper and nearly every ethnic cuisine. To help you get the best results, here are a few facts about each type and how to decide which onions to use. • Yellow onions are all purpose, used every way from raw to roasted. They are the most abundant type of onion. When raw, their flavor can range from sweet to pungent,
depending on the variety and time of year. Cooking brings out their nutty, mellow flavor-especially when caramelized. • Red onions are increasingly popular, especially raw in salads and sandwiches. Their wonderful color also makes them perfect for grilling, charbroiling and roasting. • White onions are commonly used in Mexican, Southwest and BBQ dishes. They are
jlynn@theneighbornewspapers.com
also used in sauces and potato and pasta salads. When sautéed, they turn a golden color and have a mild flavor. With so many ways in which they can be used, it’s easy to see why the National Onion Association says onions are among the most versatile vegetables. For tips on how to caramelize onions and recipe ideas, visit www. onions-usa.org.

400 By: Jamie Lynn Ryan Last week, out of sheer curiosity, I decided to go through my column archive to see just how many I had published up to this point. Wouldn’t you know, last week marked #399, making this week’s column quite a mini-milestone. Nearly eight years of writing In Step… wow, time sure does fly. In honor of the occasion, I thought I’d resurrect my very first column, published July 27th, 2005… Living The Dream As I write these words, the calendar has flipped to exactly one year, two months and eleven days since my graduation from C.W. Post on May 9th, 2004. At that time, never could I have imagined that I would soon be working for the very newspaper I had grown up reading as a lifelong resident of Lindenhurst. And yet here I am; an editor and sometimes writer for none other
than South Bay’s Neighbor. The majority of college graduates I have come into contact with seem to all have the same lofty, if materialistic, goal – to become rich and famous doing… well, anything that comes along. If it happens to be even remotely related to that field which they studied through four years of school, that’s a mere bonus. So long as the money comes rolling in, cash-flow and happiness are seemingly one and the same. I, on the other hand, have always ascribed to a much more simplistic, if perhaps slightly idealistic, principle – I feel as long as I am fortunate enough to make a decent living doing something I truly love and have genuine talent in, then why shouldn’t I be content going to work each and every day? Fast forward from my graduation through a year of highs and lows, from voluntarily taking four months off to enjoy “my last official summer vacation
ever,” as I relentlessly reminded all who would listen, to involuntarily remaining unemployed – save for my part-time jobs at The Little Flower Shop and Diane’s Dance Center - through eight more months of fruitless job searching. And then, at long last, the light at the end of the tunnel…a call from South Bay’s Neighbor, willing to give a Journalism grad a shot with their ever-expanding newspaper. Imagine that, an opportunity to gain experience in the field instead of being turned away for my lack of it. How exactly is one supposed to gain any semblance of hands-on expertise if no one will give him/her an opportunity to shine? At some point along the way, someone has to take a chance on you. How lucky I am that South Bay’s Neighbor decided to take a chance on me. I began my first full week of work on May 9th, 2005, exactly one year to the day after I graduated from college. I guess some things are just meant to be.

client, and came up with original work. “The logos were created in Adobe Illustrator CS4, leading software used in industry to create vector graphics,” Mr. Cross said. “The purpose of using Adobe Illustrator was to enable students to resize the logo and save it in many of the common image formats. The students took on the challenge with passion and desire to create the best logo design that would represent Patchogue Family Medical Care,” he continued. “After creating the logo, each student placed his or her logo on letterhead, envelope, and a business card. Finally, it was placed on mat board ready to be presented to the client.” After preparing and rehearsing the day before her visit, each student presented a unique but functional design to Dr. Doucet when she came to the Technology Department in Sayville High School. “I was very proud of all my students. They did an excellent job designing and presenting their logos,” stated Mr. Cross. Dr. Doucet was also very impressed with the presentations. She did not expect the students to design, prepare, and present as much as they did. Dr. Doucet was excited and took all the work back to her practice where she and her partners could choose a final logo design. After much deliberation, the medical partners made their decision and chose

“It all started when my colleague Ms. Jennifer Wittman-Cahill approached me about having my Advanced Computer Graphics class design a logo for Patchogue Family Medical Care,” explained Sayville High School technology department teacher Mr. Chad Cross. “As one of various Career and Technology Education (CTE) classes offered in the department that provide students with practical and real-life career skills, this class would benefit from such a request. I am always looking for opportunities to offer my students real-world practical experiences.” Ms. Wittman-Cahill was inquiring on behalf of her sister, Christine M. Doucet, M.D., who owns Patchogue Family Medical Care, Route 112, Patchogue, and is a Sayville resident. The proposal was for a design that could be used as a logo for the website, business cards, letterhead, and envelopes as well as for the new sign located outside the medical office. It was such a wonderful opportunity for the students, but Mr. Cross had only one stipulation for taking on the project. He wanted Dr. Doucet to come into the classroom and let the students present their finished works. Eagerly, the Advanced Computer Graphics students researched current designs, took into account design options that would please the

that required coordinating over 100 students’ schedules among the performers, musicians, and crew members with their sports, dance, and music competitions, college interviews or auditions, it was a wonder there was any performance of the double-casted production ready for an audience. Despite shaky rehearsals, the curtains opened for the first show on Wednesday, and wonders of wonders, the efforts of the entire company pulled together, eclipsing minor glitches. Delivering entertaining performances for the Wednesday/ Friday productions were the following main cast members: An impressive baritone, sophomore Timothy Costorf played the pivotal character of Tevye splendidly and with genuine compassion; Katya Sparwasser (fending off a throat ailment) remained skillful and sharp as the nagging Golde; Alexandra LoGrippo was every bit the comic matchmaker Yente; Christian Savini crafted a lively Lazar Wolf who was both a big and memorable presence on the stage (for all performances); Matthew Spina engaged the role of the critical Rabbi’s son Mendel with quick wit and comic timing; Marissa Casazza (Tzeitel), Danielle Post (Hodel), and Gabrielle Kalomiris (Chava), convincingly mixed sisterly rivalry with affection especially in their delightful performance of Matchmaker. Throughout the musical, their moving characterizations built poignant contrasts between tradition and change, signified by the beautiful solo (performed by Danielle Post) Far From the Home I Love and the tender ballet scene with Golde and the three sisters as they accept their futures apart; Sean McNally was a great Motel who gave a lively performance of Miracle of Miracles; In all four performances, Alex Sneddon played a believable Perchik and sang a touching rendition of Now I have Everything, while Benjamin Diehl turned on his charm as Fyedka, the Russian suitor. Building up momentum, the Thursday-Saturday cast swapped actors for central characters: Portraying Tevye with quiet strength—except when yelling at his daughters’ suitors or Lazar Wolfe with overpowering volume—senior Matthew Iovino brought his rich baritone and lighthearted humor to the role; Elizabeth (Libby) Larkin’s singing had a matchless quality, but as Golde she matched Tevye’s force with her shrewish power; Kimberly Miller played a bubbly Yente on a relentless mission; Matthew Spina was seamless as Motel the Tailor and exhilarating in his excellent performance of Miracle of Miracles; United in their performance of Matchmaker, the three “sisters” carried their characters with confidence: lively Samantha Shenkel was lovely as Tzeitel, Denise Natoli as Hodel used her exquisite voice to its fullest potential especially in the solo Far From the Home I Love, and the sweet-voiced Shannon Lynch
was the spirited and endearing Chava, lost to her family for marrying outside their religion; Sean McNally, as the Rabbi’s son, was swift in criticism and an amusing foil to any form of change. For all four productions, there were many notable standouts in ancillary parts: Brian Walsh comically embodied the simplistic Rabbi; Daniel Lumley was a respectable Avram the Hat Maker; Sean Velazquez gave menace to his role as Constable; Dillon Finder made Mordcha speak his mind as the parsimonious innkeeper; and Liam Haber depicted Russian prejudice in his portrayal of Sasha. During the song To Life, Russian Soloist (WF) Jake Vail interrupted the revelers celebrating the upcoming nuptials with his stirring vocal challenge, while phenomenal Megan Gunther (ThuS) awed everyone with how long she sustained that same unaccompanied solo note before the Russian Youths (the company dancers) jumped into the celebration to dance. In the hilarious Tevye’s dream sequence, the Ghost of Grandma Tzeitel, well played by Meghan Marshal, offered contradictory marriage advice that was quickly accepted when the terrifying Ghost of Fruma Sarah (portrayed with wild intensity by Mary Nichols) threatened revenge. The villagers and children who populated Anatevka added to the company, while the hardworking dancers buoyed the overall spirit with their grace and energy, giving animation to the tavern scenes and extravaganza to the bottle dance. The metaphorical fiddler came to musical life with Susan Mangaluz, who actually played the melody on her violin. As the forecaster of imminent change, she reversed the somber ending with a final hopeful smile. By Saturday’s performance, miracles of miracles, the company of actors had energized. The actors showed more confidence about their characters and adapted believably with improvisations when a rehearsed scene or two took unexpected turns. Little sisters (played by Kyla Carter and Breanna ScheckGomez, who both adorably
acted and sang every night) were missing from one scene, logically prompting Perchik (Alex Sniddon remained in character) to look for them (off stage), while Chava (Shannon Lynch) and Hodel (Denise Natoli) ad libbed some sisterly teasing until he retrieved at least one student for his onstage lesson. Packing up for their exodus from Anatevka, Motel proved a good father when he brought out the baby who was almost “forgotten” in the house. (Even when taking final bows, Matt Spina stayed in character as he held the baby and shushed the audience for their noisy applause.) Insinuating “bananas” as props into the unlikely scene—a quasi tradition begun back in 2008 with Guys and Dolls–occurred in Fiddler when the drunken Lazar Wolfe and Tevye exited the tavern (and later when the stage crew came out for bows). Although not every musical since that time has utilized the sight gag, this year’s company has remained silent about who may have reintroduced the joke. With production now over and a bit of perspective on the moments that make or break live theatre, the cast and crew of Fiddler remained bonded—much like the villagers—in their sense of satisfaction. Director Steve Hailey acknowledged with pride that as the actors matured in their roles, they imbued scenes with more genuine drama. “We climbed a step each night.” And each night, thanks to everyone
who contributed “A little bit of this, A little bit of that,” the show became a “dear little village.” “Where else could Sabbath be so sweet?” In addition to Director/ Producer Hailey, credit also goes to the production staff: musical Director/Accompanist Frederic Diekmann; Orchestra Conductor/ Musical Arranger Ari Kramer and members of the orchestra pit; Choreographer Penny Hough and dancers; Technical Supervisor Ken Van Essendelft; Sound Supervisor Andy Giammalvo; Lighting Supervisor Steve Hailey; Stage Mangers Michael LoPreto, Angela Vetere; Scenic Design/paint Manger Lorelei Olk; Construction Manager Michael Forsberg; Lighting Manager Chuck Verbeck; Costume Janie Loesch; and costume assistant Autumn Bradley; Properties Master Julia Cameron; Choreography of Chavaleh by Irene Kent, and Choreography assistants, Christian Savini, Meghan Gunther, Shannon Lynch; with special thanks to make-up, properties, costumes assistant Donna Hailey; Joe Cook for his assistance with scenery and stage crew; Joseph Hailey for assistance with lighting crew; Van Kamenade Paint store for their generous donation towards the set and scenery and the SHS administrators, faculty, and staff, and middle school apprentices… Most of all, for the support of the families and friends of the company.

“Without our traditions, our lives would be as shaky as... as... as a fiddler on the roof!” so states the dairy farmer Tevye in the opening number of the popular musical. This year, Sayville High School’s musical production of Fiddler on the Roof suffered more than its share of preproduction challenges that paralleled the precarious lives of the Jewish villagers in Anatevka, Russia.

Gas-Saving Tips (NAPSI)—Conserving gasoline saves motorists money and lessens America’s dependence on foreign oil. These gas-saving tips are from the experts at the nonprofit National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence (ASE), the group that tests and certifies automotive technicians. • Keep tires properly inflated and wheels in alignment. • Clean out clutter and unnecessary items to lessen the burden on the engine. • Consolidate trips and errands; try to travel when traffic is light to avoid stopand-go conditions. • Go easy on sudden, hard accelerations; don’t speed; anticipate traffic patterns ahead and adjust your speed gradually. • Keep the engine running at its peak by replacing filters and fluids as recommended in the
owner’s manual and having engine performance problems such as rough idling corrected. • Use windows and airconditioning wisely. At highway speeds, it’s better to keep windows up (and air-conditioning on, if wanted) to reduce air drag. But turn off the A/C in stop-and-go traffic to save fuel. Visit www.ase.com for car care tips, advice on finding an auto technician and more.

Kind Words Kind words do not cost much. They never blister the tongue or lips. They make other people goodnatured. They also produce their own image on men’s souls, and a beautiful image it is. Blaise Pascal
Celebrating Women’s History In celebration of Women’s History Month, Legislator Sarah Anker honored Empire State Development Director Andrea Lohneiss and Networking Magazine Founder and Publisher Christine Conniff Sheahan at the March 19th General Meeting of the Suffolk County Legislature. “Christine and Andrea serve as true role models
and mentors to many women, including myself,” said Legislator Anker. “Their successes, both professionally and personally, are a testimony to the accomplished roles women have achieved in business and government.” As the Long Island Regional Director of Empire State Development, Andrea has worked to promote economic growth
in both Nassau and Suffolk County. She applies her invaluable background in community development and knowledge of economic policy to implement successful business expansion projects. Since 1991, through her publication Networking Magazine, Christine Conniff Sheahan has provided outstanding coverage on women’s
issues. In addition, she has demonstrated her commitment to the progress of women, social causes and environmental stewardship. The magazine has featured influential women who have made great strides on behalf of women’s equality, including Kirsten Gillibrand, Madeline Albright and Gloria Steinem. A special section
entitled “What’s Green,” provides information about environmental issues and offers a network for local businesses. Networking Magazine has received a number of awards and recognition including, the National Council on Women’s Health Making a Difference through Media Award. Women’s History Month is an annual
worldwide declared month that highlights the contributions of women to events in history and contemporary society. Say A Good Word Consider carefully before you say a hard word to a man, but never let a chance to say a good one go by. Praise judiciously bestowed is money invested. George Horace Lorimer
However, thanks to Mrs. Debbie Abrams and Mrs. Kelly Cummings who quickly got on the case, the Cherry Avenue community did not have to look that far for someone with talent for playing the pipes. As former Sunrise Drive faculty members, both Mrs. Abrams and Mrs. Cummings couldn’t quite forget how their colleague, Mr. Decker, used to practice his pipes in the empty Sunrise cafeteria. “Brian Decker owes us,” they joked. “We used to listen to him before he got good!”
Mrs. Cummings quickly placed a call to Sayville High School Assistant Principal Brian Decker, and he replied “what time do you need me?” Assistant Principal Decker proved he had amazing talent that awed the Cherry Avenue students as he came dressed in kilts to perform for the St. Patrick’s Day assembly. “Mr. Decker was wonderful!” Mrs. Batterberry exclaimed. “He answered all the questions asked by students and gave a brief lesson on the history of the pipes.”
Chaos & Containment
Suffolk Zone 4 - NEIGHBOR NEWSPAPERS - Wednesday APRIL 10, 2013
When Cherry Avenue Third-grade Teacher Geraldine Batterberry asked Principal Dr. Stimmel about whether there might be a St. Patrick’s Day Assembly for the Sayville elementary school, inviting a bagpiper was part of the conversation. Often, volunteer and municipal fire departments have showcased bagpipers at their memorial celebrations, so Mrs. Batterberry began her search by calling to inquire about “importing” a bagpiper from out east.
Across The Ages

The Pipes Were Calling
Every other Monday morning at Sayville’s Cherry Avenue elementary school, the Student Council Members have been teaming up with the residents of Good Samaritan Nursing Home on Elm Street to become pen pals. The ten- and eleven-year-old students have been writing to the seventy-five to one hundred-year-old residents in hopes of learning about their childhood lives and to share with them a little bit about what it is like to grow up in 2013. “The students were overjoyed to read the residents’ mail!” exclaimed Ms. Jeanette Anderson, one
of the three teachers acting as student council advisors. Adding their comments were fifth-graders Liam Cummings and Thomas Schilling: “Pen pal Benny grew up in the 40s and enjoyed handball as much as we do!” While fourth graders Taylor Banks and Shelby Cooke appreciated their pen pal Jeanette’s advice, “Go to college and be kind to all!” Ms. Anderson, along with co-advisors Ms. Fee and Ms. Metzler, launched this activity to help students reach out to the Sayville community and develop a true sense of service. Resident Recreation Director,
Christine Schomber, who collaborated with the teachers, shared in the joy of this successful community outreach project. The Good Samaritan Nursing Home and Cherry’s Student Council are now creating artwork to exchange with each other. The students are making watercolor paintings of their favorite places in Sayville, while the elderly residents are making paintings at their weekly art class. One thing is for sure, the students and residents are certainly looking forward to meeting this Spring.
In preparation for the New York State Senate Earth Day art contest, Cherry Avenue Fourthgrade students in Ms. Robin Laxton art classes created artwork that demonstrated the Earth Day theme of recycle, reuse, and reduce. Most of their artwork was created using recycled materials, such as paper,
cardboard tubes, and leftover paint, that not only incorporated the Earth Day theme of recycle, reuse, reduce, but also, in the students’ case, recreated into works of art! The following fourth graders from Mrs. Coyle’s class had their group artwork of owls submitted and selected
for view in the art contest at the website: Zeldin. nysenate.gov: Nicole Moccio, Hannah Baldante, Justin Doucet, Nicholas Buffardi, Jordan Milo, Robert Dushnick, Luca Destafano, and received certificates for their efforts. Congratulations!
Earth Day Art
Legislator Rob Calarco joined with Family Residences and Essential Enterprises, Inc. (FREE), Village of Patchogue Mayor Paul Pontieri, and the Patchogue-Medford Library today to kick-off the opening of the Chaos and Containment exhibition, which is comprised entirely of art created by individuals with autism and other developmental disabilities. The artists are enrolled in the art therapy program at FREE, a not-forprofit agency founded in 1977, headquartered
in Old Bethpage, which supports more than 3,500 individuals with different abilities on Long Island. According to FREE’s Director of Art Therapy and the curator of “Chaos and Containment,” Ed Regensburg, the pieces in the exhibition were “originally introduced as two separate artistic expressions of the feelings of chaotic emotional turmoil and the subsequent expression of containing this turmoil.” Legislator Calarco said, “The artwork in this room is very impressive, and I
truly commend FREE for their work with individuals with autism and other developmental disabilities. Not only are they helping artists create beautiful art; they are helping these people find their voice and express themselves. I am honored to be here today, especially during National Autism Awareness Month.” “Chaos and Containment” will be on display in the lower level of the Patchogue-Medford Library throughout the month of April.

Young Composers Woodhull Elementary School’s third- through sixth-grade students learned about music on a new, deeper level this winter as they worked to write their own original pieces. To begin the process, the students started with simple rhythms before graduating to
composing for the ukulele. After finalizing their compositions, the students took turns performing each other’s works as a test of their ability to both write and read music notation. “Being able to notate musical ideas is really not that different from learning how to write in any other language,” said Philip
Tamberino, Woodhull’s music teacher. “You start very simple at first, learning how to make the symbols, and then progress to groups of symbols and eventually short phrases. You make mistakes, but eventually you learn how to communicate in a way other people can understand.”
STUDENTS OF THE MONTH - Suffolk County Legislator Rob Calarco recently honored the Patchogue-Medford High School Students of the Month: 9th Grade Student of the Month Samantha Lool, 12th Grade Student of the Month Claudia Dally. Not pictured: 10th Grade Student of the Month Thomas Galvin, 11th Grade Student of the Month Venezia Verdi.

With projects aimed at uncovering facts about products, from ones used every day to those of a more globally significant nature, more than 100 Blue Point Elementary School students showcased their clear understanding of the scientific method when they entered this year’s school Science Fair. Developing their ideas around a topic of their choice, the students worked for several weeks to prove or disprove their hypotheses and collect data to coincide with their findings. Once their results were finalized, they created colorful poster boards displaying their research Fire Island School District’s Woodhull Elementary School has been named a 2013 Support Music Merit Award winner by the NAMM Foundation in recognition of the access it provides students to a comprehensive music education program. This honor was bestowed upon the school based on the results of NAMM’s 14th Annual Best Communities for Music Education survey, which acknowledges schools and districts across the United States for their commitment to and support for music education in schools. In 2013, 307 school districts were named Best Communities for Music Education, but only 66 schools were given the
distinction earned by Woodhull. “Of course music teachers care about music education, but this program recognizes that it takes more than teachers alone to maintain a healthy music program that reaches all students,” said Philip Tamberino, Woodhull’s music teacher. “As a teacher, I’ve always appreciated having that support, and it’s great to see it recognized. Fire Island is just a fantastic place for teaching and learning across the board.” The Best Communities for Music Education program has conducted annual surveys since 1999, seeking to highlight schools and districts that demonstrate
communitywide efforts to keep music an integral part of the core curriculum. Respondents answer questions about all aspects of support for music, including school budgeting, facilities, academic programming, course offerings, student participation rates, parental involvement, administrative support and staff qualifications. The results are verified by district officials and then reviewed by advisory organizations. The New York State School Music Association similarly recognized Fire Island as a school district with an exemplary commitment to music education in 2010.
Islip Animal Shelter and Adopt-a-Pet Center will be launching a month-long online campaign starting on April 1st. This campaign will be in support of Prevention of Animal Cruelty Month and will focus on animal abuse awareness. The shelter will be posting daily facts on different types of animal abuse, how to recognize signs, what to do if witnessed, who to contact, and more. They will also
be featuring two adoptable dogs each week who have each suffered from any type of abuse before being taken in by the shelter. The shelter encourages everyone to participate in this campaign by following and sharing the daily posts, which will be posted to the shelter’s facebook and blog page (see below). “Animal abuse is something that is all too often overlooked. The best way to prevent this is to be
knowledgeable and able to recognize the signs. If we know what abuse looks like and what the effects are, we will be more apt to prevent it from happening. Just as no human deserves to suffer, no animal should have to either,” said Councilwoman Trish Bergin Weichbrodt. To follow the facts, please visit www.facebook. com/islipanimals or www.islipanimalshelter. wordpress.com.

A Special Thank You... I just wanted to convey my many thanks to the good samaritan who helped me rescue my dog on Carlls Path in Deer Park one morning (either March 18th or 19th of this year). I have a six month-old Border Collie who I walk every morning before I go to work. We take the same route every morning and, along one of the side streets we walk, his leash broke and he took off. I had just come out of the hospital and was in no condition to chase him; besides, they are one of the fastest running dogs there is! After screaming his name and not knowing what else I could do, I stopped a car and hysterically told the good samaritan that I needed help getting my dog. This person drove down the street to where “Noah” was, stopped the car and coaxed Noah to come “say hello.” Being the friendly dog that he is, he obliged and the person was able to grab him and wait for me to pantingly get down the street. This wonderful person put us (Noah and I) in the car and drove us home. This good samaritan even carried Noah into the house for me because I had no leash to put on him at the moment. This person would not give me their name or address or anything. I wish I could see the person again, but in the meantime, many many many thanks for bringing “my world” back to me. - Rochelle Read

Project HEAL
Sylvan Avenue Elementary School’s Peer Leaders, under the direction of student Ana Altman, collected $265 for the organization Project HEAL by selling originally fashioned buttons. After learning about
a family friend who had lost her life to an eating disorder, Ana rallied her peers together to raise funds for this nonprofit for young people suffering with eating disorders. Project HEAL was started four-and-a-half
From Writer To Reader years ago and has raised over $250,000 to support patients in residential treatment, as insurance often does not cover the expense. They have opened more than 20 chapters across the U.S. and Canada.
Famous children’s illustrated book author Brian Heinz visited Blue Point Elementary School in the Bayport-Blue Point School District to teach the students about the book writing and publishing process. With entertaining reenactments of a variety of his real-life experiences,
Mr. Heinz taught the students methods he uses when researching possible book topics. During the assembly, Mr. Heinz also walked the students through the book production process, from idea conception to final completed project. “My hope is that someday I will take a book off the
shelf and it won’t have my name on it – it will have one of yours,” stated Mr. Heinz. Following the schoolwide assembly, third-, fourthand fifth-grade classes met one-on-one with Mr. Heinz in writing workshops to learn specific techniques to improve their writing skills.
PROJECT HEAL - Sylvan Avenue Elementary School’s Peer Leaders collected $265 for Project HEAL. Pictured here are the students with adviser Cindy Ventimiglia and Lianna, a representative for Project HEAL and one of the organization’s founders.
Successful Collection With the help and support of the surrounding community, the National Junior Honor Society at James Wilson Young Middle School in the BayportBlue Point School District collected $6,840 for the St. Baldrick’s Foundation, an organization set on finding
cures for childhood cancer. Contributing to this year’s successful event were the 40 individuals who volunteered to shave their locks, and the countless others who selflessly gave to the cause both at the event and through the NJHS’s online donation
drive. In addition to the willing head-shaven participants, six individuals volunteered to cut their hair (at least 8 inches) for Pantene Beautiful Lengths, an organization that uses the hair to make wigs for women battling cancer.

Wizards vs. T-Birds
On Thursday evening, February 28th, a Connetquot School District All-Star contingent of principals, teachers, secretaries and paras joined forces to play basketball against the world famous Harlem Wizards! Led by EJ Bosti Principal Dr. Lisa Ihne, Connetquot HS Principal Greg Murtha, Cherokee Principal Bridgette Wilson, Idle Hour Principal Denise Toscano and OBMS Principal Sue Coleman, the T-Birds dribbled, shot, but mostly laughed, as they played this traveling troupe of professional comedian/ athletes. Among the most active cheering fans were Board of Education President Dawn Berntsen and Trustee Leo Marinick. A loud, laughing, crowd,
estimated at close to 800, consisted of students, parents, school staff and just plain basketball fans who filled the Connetquot HS gym to capacity. It was SRO (standing room only) by the time the ball went up to start the game. Sponsored by the Bosti Parent-Teacher Association, this proceeds of this fun night would provide the funding needed so ‘… the kids can get everything they need, despite proposed budget cuts’, as one parent said. The Harlem Wizards are celebrating their 50th Anniversary, and from the reaction of this Connetquot crowd, it’s easy to see why fans look forward to watching these great showmen in action. The Wizards were led by 6’7” Tojo (Claude Henderson),
6’4” ‘Downtown’ Derek Braxton, Jr., and 6’8” ‘Big J’ (John Smith). Tojo said that “The we combine preplanned comedy routines that keep the youngsters laughing”, as the Wizards players go into the crowd to bring youngsters onto the court to join in the fun. Dr. Lisa Ihne, Principal of the EJ Bosti Elementary School extended her thanks to all the members of the community that took part in the game, all the wonderful fans for their support, with special thanks to the dedicated members of the school’s PTA. Dr. Ihne was also heard to whisper at the end of the game: “We may have lost tonight’s game against the Wizards, but we will practice to get ready for a win, next time!”
a teachable attitude, demonstrated respect for his coaches, teammates, opponents, and the officials, encouraged his teammates through the “highs and lows” of the season, and showed
