For the tenth consecutive year, the Long Island Game Farm is inviting graduating high school seniors to apply for the Stanley and Susan Novak Memorial Scholarship.

The time is now to apply for the annual scholarship, which is worth $1,000.

Each year, this award is granted to a graduating senior from Long Island who plans to attend a two-

year or higher college or university program, and exemplifies the qualities required to become a pioneer in nature, whether it be in the field of veterinary medicine or environmental science.

The application deadline is Friday, May 31st, 2013.

Now in its 44th year, the Long Island Game Farm was founded in 1970 by Stanley and Diane

Novak and is located in Manorville.

It features hundreds of animals on 25 acres of land. Year after year, the park is visited by thousands and enjoyed by all. It has been an educational site for school children to learn about animals and nature for decades.

The scholarship was established in 2004 to honor the memories of

Stanley John Novak, the Game Farm’s co-founder, and his daughter, Susan Mary Novak.

In 1999, Stanley Novak was 66 and had been building the Long Island Game Farm for nearly 30 years. Sadly, he died from a heart attack, leaving his legacy behind.

In 2001, his daughter, Susan, who started working at the Game Farm when she was five years

During their visits to Bellhaven, the middle schoolers visit with the residents to play games or complete crafts.

“It feels really good to see the nursing home residents smiling because we have come to spend the day with them,” said sixthgrader Daisy Fiori.

“I really enjoy having the opportunity to visit with the elderly and help feed the less fortunate in our community,” added sixthgrader Katie McGuire.

North Shore-LIJ Health System’s Project Coastal Care has received one of Sustainable Long Island’s Getting It Done Awards this year for providing free medical care to New Yorkers impacted by Hurricane Sandy.

Since the program’s inception last November, Project Coastal Care has treated more than 1,200 people in a mobile medical van that has made regularly scheduled visits to areas affected by the super storm, including Broad Channel in Queens, Staten Island and the Long Island communities of Long Beach and Lindenhurst.

The van began treating people in Babylon this month. The North ShoreLIJ Health System received a $350,000 grant from the Robin Hood Relief Fund in February which will enable the van’s medical team to continue treating people through August.

The mobile van is staffed with medical professionals, administrative support personnel and a driver.

Patients have been treated for a range of illnesses and injuries, including upper respiratory infections, minor lacerations and maintenance of chronic and acute illnesses. In addition, the van’s medical staff provides flu and tetanus vaccinations. All of the care has been delivered free of charge, regardless of whether patients are insured.

“We’re providing a valuable service to people during a difficult time in their lives and

what has proven to be a continued and extended challenging period,” said Maria Torroella Carney, MD, North Shore-LIJ’s director of communitybased geriatrics in the department of medicine, who leads the mobile van project. “It’s very rewarding to assist these residents as they put their lives back together.

We’re bringing quality healthcare resources from the health system directly to their communities.”

Lisa Burch, North Shore-LIJ’s director of sustainability and social responsibility, said the award recognizes North Shore-LIJ’s commitment to the community. “We’re not just about providing care to the patients who walk through our doors but also helping those who cannot get to the care they require,” she said.

This is the third year that Sustainable Long Island is bestowing the “Getting It Done” awards to local organizations.

This year, groups are being honored for their work helping people impacted by Hurricane Sandy.

North Shore-LIJ received its award last week during Sustainable Long Island’s seventh annual sustainability conference held at Carlyle on the Green in Bethpage State Park.

For more information about Project Coastal Care and to find out the schedule of the van, call 516.823.8370.

On April 7th, members of the Earl L. Vandermeulen High School Interact Club made their annual trip to Camp Pa-Qua-Tuck located on the shores of Kaler’s Pond in Center Moriches.

There, students participated in a “spring cleanup” of the grounds, which included raking leaves, mulching, planting flowers, painting and

preparing dorms for campers. Also in attendance were members of the Port Jefferson and Rocky Point rotary clubs and members of the National Junior Honor Society.

Camp Pa-Qua-Tuck’s mission is to help children and young adults ages 6 to 21 with both physical and developmental disabilities achieve equality,

dignity and maximum independence through a safe and quality program of camping, recreation and education in a summertime environment.

“It is a special place where children can experience firsthand the pleasures that an active life has to offer,” said club adviser Sarah Ogden.

By: Tyler Cianciulli As any prospective college student knows, SAT scores and your Grade Point Average are not the only factors that play a role in the admissions process.

It is said that colleges like a well-rounded student.

The term “well-rounded” is often thrown about without thought, which raises the question: what exactly is an extracurricular?

Most colleges would define the term “extracurricular” as something done or happening outside the normal curriculum of a school or college. This means anything from Archery to volunteering at a Zoo. Extracurricular activities don’t have to be

a chore; finding those that suit your interest are a good way to make friends, explore careers and ultimately help attain your goals.

So what do you love to do? Really, anything counts as an extracurricular!

Fishing, hiking, boating, constructing and drawing all help you as a person, and as an applicant.

Even playing the guitar has hidden benefits that any future college would love to see. Most universities or colleges prefer an abundance of extracurricular activities, and some even base 25% of their decision on these items.

It is a good idea to get an early start. One would advise freshmen to begin compiling their list of

sports, clubs, volunteer hours and passions now.

It is one of those things essential to your success and maximizing the caliber of school you or your child plan on attending. Some of the most favorable activities include Student Council, being the captain of a sports team, club or any other leadership position.

Having a plethora of after-school programs can only boost one’s chances, giving a reason to spend one’s time wisely! On top of being good résumé padding, extracurricular activities help portray your passions to a potential school.

Is your kid going to college anytime soon? If so, remember, extracurricular activities actually matter!

Tyler Cianciulli of Islip is a Junior at St. John the Baptist High School.

The Washington Post released its annual list of America’s Most Challenging High Schools in the United States. The Port Jefferson School District is pleased to announce that with this year’s results, Earl L. Vandermeulen High School is ranked 339 out of 1,933 schools nationally, placing it 38th in the Northeast, 28th in New York State and third in Suffolk County. Port Jefferson has improved 14 spots in the state from 42nd in 2011.

In order to calculate an index score for each school,

researchers take the total number of Advanced Placement, International Baccalaureate and Advanced International Certificate of Education tests given at a school each year and divide them by the number of seniors who graduated in May or June. Also noted is the percentage of students who come from families that qualify for lunch subsidies and the percentage of graduates who passed at least one college-level test during their high school career, called equity and excellence (E&E).

The Paths We Choose public. Of course, they should regardless. But in reality, it is the almighty dollar which dictates our purpose in life more than any sense of real responsibility.

It’s a shame, as many of my fellow college classmates have long since abandoned the Journalism field for so-called loftier, more lucrative pursuits.

But what of the fire? The motivation to make a difference?

Not to mention, the four years of schooling at a rather expensive private university…But to each his/her own.

For me, all it takes is one evening of stimulating conversation to quell any doubts that this is the field for me. Proud to be a Journalist, always.

The Port Jefferson Middle School Science Olympiad team recently proved that anything is possible when you put your mind to it. The team, which placed fourth at the Suffolk County Regional competition in March, participated in the New York State competition held at Syracuse University. Team coach Adam Bouchard, along with Deborah Hagmeyer and Laurie McMillen, accompanied the students on their trip.

The Port Jefferson team competed against top schools from 11 regions across the state and placed 26th out of 137.

I recently attended a Journalism event last week which reminded me what, in fact, it means to be a “Journalist” – and why it was I pursued a career in this field in the first place. It’s funny how easily it is to lose sight of the basics like that. Go to college, get a degree, find a job… then realize, just like that, eight years have passed by and you haven’t even paused long enough to evaluate the path you’ve taken, where it’s leading – you know, minor life-altering concepts like that.

Ironic, isn’t it?

But I digress. Back to the event. It is these types of panels and discussions

among Journalism’s elite which reignites that fire – that passion to make a difference with the written word, the spoken word, photography… whatever the specific medium might be. During the course of the evening, the question arose as to what, specifically, qualified someone to be a Journalist. After all, anyone can blog, anyone can utilize social media to share their thoughts and opinions on all things important (or trivial, as the case may be). So where lies the distinction?

The joke was made that, “Journalists have the ability to be fired.” This is actually true, to a degree. Those whose opinions are not solicited have no real accountability to the

Team Success

Students on the Earl L. Vandermeulen High School Robotics Team competed in the Long Island FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) Regional Robotics Competition on April 4th-6th at Hofstra University. The organization’s mission is to encourage young people to be science and technology

leaders by engaging them in exciting, mentor-based programs that build science, engineering and technology skills that inspire innovation and foster well-rounded life capabilities, including self-confidence, communication and leadership.

“Students and their mentors spent six long

Carry-On Made Easier

weeks – working up to six days a week – constructing a robot from raw materials such as aluminum and plexiglass pieces combined with digital electronic components, electric motors, cameras, transmissions, wheels and a host of other robotic parts,” said club adviser Brian Chalmers. “The mentors really enjoy

having the opportunity to share their knowledge with other student team members.”

The team’s android performed strongly during the competition on all assigned tasks, which included shooting Frisbees onto a small platform atop a 10-foot-tall pyramid.

The robot’s drive team coordinated the machine’s functions. Overall, the team placed within the top 20 out of 50 schools from around the state.

Furthermore, senior members Michael Colucci and Greg Klesaris were awarded FIRST scholarships of $24,000 from Adelphi University and $30,000 from Stevens Institute of Technology, respectively. Michael will receive $6,000 annually for four years and Greg will receive the same amount over the course of five years should they choose to enroll in those universities.

Huntington Learning Center will join communities, educators, families and many others on May 7th, to celebrate National Teacher Day, which honors teachers and the critical role they play to ensure students receive a quality education.

“Here at Huntington, we honor not only our own teachers, who make a difference in the lives of our students and their families, but all teachers in our city, community, state and country,” says Eileen Huntington, co-founder of Huntington Learning Center. “Educators stand out as some of the most influential people in children’s lives, and on National Teacher Day and always, we celebrate the work that they do to help our children reach their potential and achieve their dreams.”

How can community members, parents, students and others show their appreciation for the teachers in their lives?

Huntington offers several

ideas and activities, some of which come from the National Education Association (NEA), which sponsors the annual celebration: • Upload a video thanking a teacher who made a difference in your life. NEA and Parenting magazine have teamed up at www.parenting. com/my-amazing-teacher to encourage people to upload their video stories.

• Send a thank-you letter or card to the NEA’s Teacher Thank-You Project, c/o NEA Public Relations; P.O. Box 66458; Washington, D.C. 20035.

Learn more at www. teacherthankyoucard.org.

• Post an appreciation message on Twitter or Facebook, using the hashtag #thankateacher.

• Host an event honoring teachers in your community or at your school. Try something simple such as an ice cream social, luncheon or coffee and donut table outside your place of business.

• Nominate a

Classroom Superhero at the NEA’s www. classroomsuperheros.com project.

• Write a letter or note to a teacher who had an impact on your life.

• If you own a retail or restaurant business, give teachers a discount on their purchases on National Teacher Day. • Hang congratulatory signs in your business or school recognizing teachers and their important work in your community.

National Teacher Day originated around 1944 when Arkansas teacher Mattye Whyte Woodridge reached out to political and education leaders about the need for a national day to honor teachers. Woodridge wrote to Eleanor Roosevelt, who persuaded the 81st Congress to proclaim a National Teacher Day beginning in 1953.

As I sit on the park bench, I studied the weeping willow tree, It grows alongside the lake in the park, It is a reminder of you and me...

The beautiful green leaves, Show the happiness we’ve shared, But the bent weeping branches, Can also be a sign of despair...

As the breeze echoes, Throughout its bent limbs, They are not able to reach upward, Holding a heaviness within...

Displaying the love of nature, Since the limbs always kiss the ground, Holding onto the earth to nurture, The limbs are always bent down...

For the second time this school year, a student at Joseph A. Edgar Intermediate School has achieved a perfect score at a WordMasters Challenge meet, a national vocabulary competition involving nearly 150,000 students annually. Fifthgrader Riley Watson earned a 20 out of 20 during the challenge’s second meet, which tested the students’ understanding of 50 different vocabulary words.

Nationally, only 75 fifth-

graders achieved a perfect score.

Other JAE students who achieved outstanding results in the meet included fourth-grader Trevor Hall and fifthgraders Molly Infranco and Anna Raicovi.

JAE’s fourth- and fifthgrade GATES students take part in the three WordMasters Challenge meets every year. The vocabulary list for the challenges is cumulative, building upon previous

lists: 25 words are given during the first meet, 25 new words are added to the original roster at the second meet, and an additional 25 are added to the pre-existing 50 at the third challenge. To prepare, students work with teacher Donna Trapani to learn both the definitions of the assigned words and how to dissect them in order to complete analogies expressing various kinds of logical relationships.

Bye Bye Birdie On April 5th and 6th, the John F. Kennedy Middle School Drama Club performed an exciting, and colorful, version of the well-known Broadway play Bye Bye Birdie. The talented ensemble cast of characters had their families, friends and teachers ‘dancing in their seats’ and singing along.

The musical was performed at the JFK Middle School Auditorium.

The play tells the story of a popular rocker by the

name of Conrad Birdie who is drafted into the Army, and who plans to give a last, goodbye, kiss to one of his fans before he leaves the country. Sounds a bit like Elvis Presley, doesn’t it? Anyway, he selects a fan living in Ohio, travels out there for the big kiss only to find Hugo, the jealous boyfriend, and other fans and detractors who make this a fun adventure for the entire audience.

An apple a day may keep the doctor away, but a recent study found drinking tea might keep the cardiologist at bay.

The USDA reported that men and women who drank black tea for three weeks reduced their total and bad

cholesterol (LDL) levels by an average of 7.5 percent.

Researchers concluded that drinking tea may reduce the risk of coronary heart disease.

Antioxidants called flavonoids, found in both green and black teas, are thought to

be potent weapons in the fight against heart disease.

That news may be especially important for women, given that heart disease kills more women than all forms of cancer combined including breast cancer.

Student Artists Honored

Suffolk County Community College’s Stand up SCCC Committee was formed to encourage college-wide conversations on the topic of bullying and cyberbullying. This semester, students were invited to submit creative works to be judged for the ability to express how bullying or cyberbullying touched their life, how it impacts human dignity, or how students can take a stand against it.

At a ceremony on April 18th, the committee announced the winners of the competition: Angela Cernuto, a resident of Mount Sinai, (photograph) Some bruises are on the inside Cory Gardner, a resident of Centereach, (mixed media painting) Bullying Distorts All

Xiomara Moran, a resident of Bay Shore, (video) Break The Silence Jacqueline Fortunato a resident of Holbrook, (PowerPoint), Their Stories The College received 44 pieces of artwork from 40 student artists representing all three campuses. The winners received Samsung Galaxy tablets and Certificates of Merit from the College, as well as certificates from Suffolk County Legislator Thomas F. Barraga and New York State Assemblyman Al Graf.

A link to photos from the event is available at http:// www2.sunysuffolk.edu/ media/SCCCBullying/.

Dr. Shaun L. McKay, President of the College, said, “I am extremely proud of the students

who participated in this event, and I am grateful for the work of the Stand Up SCCC Committee.

Our goal is to continue to create awareness and have substantive dialogue on this important topic.”

The College has taken a stand against bullying, including passing a college-wide policy in the spring of 2012. Maggie Marcincuk, Associate Professor at the College’s Ammerman Campus and Stand Up SCCC Committee Chair, said, “We are pleased with the response and commitment from the students. The pieces will be used to raise awareness and educate students on how bullying and cyberbullying affects our community.”

DISPENSING COMFORT - After passing a difficult nurse entrance exam and interview, and after studying for 17 months, 107 male and female students graduated from the Eastern Suffolk School of Practical Nursing. The ceremony took place on April 4th at St. Joseph’s College in Patchogue. It was a night filled with laughter, singing, crying, hugging, and cheering. These successful completers can now apply to take the New York State Licensing Examination.

Check Presentation

Mather Hospital’s Auxiliary has presented the Hospital with a check for $221,000, which will be used toward future capital projects at the hospital.

The funds, presented to Mather President Kenneth Roberts on Sunday at the annual Volunteer Appreciation Party, were raised in 2012 through lobby sales, the Gift Shop and the Thrift Shop, all operated by the Auxiliary and staffed by Mather Volunteers.

“On behalf of the

entire Mather Family I thank the Auxiliary for their generous donation and continuing support of the Hospital,” said Mather Hospital President Kenneth Roberts. “We would not be able to carry out our mission without the help of our dedicated Auxilians and Volunteers.

Over the years they have donated millions of hours of service and raised millions of dollars to help fund building projects and purchase new equipment.”

The Auxiliary also

presented three college awards to Junior Volunteers who completed a minimum of 300 hours of service and who demonstrated excellence in volunteering. The awards range in value from $500 to $2,000. The winners are Mattea Cai, Mount Sinai High School, 303 hours of service; Allison Ragozzino, Miller Place High School, more than 400 hours of service; and Ryan Nardin, Mount Sinai High School, 570 hours.

Every Wednesday for the past two years, students from the Eastern Suffolk BOCES Facilities Maintenance program at the Islip Career Center (ICC) in Oakdale, under the direction of teacher Art Pagano, have visited Our Lady of Mount Carmel Church in Patchogue to clean the church, religion classrooms, and the bagel breakfast area. The students only use green cleaning products when disinfecting, cleaning windows, and degreasing.

The students visit the

church every Wednesday for about two hours. Over the course of the school year, the students will have completed almost 80 hours of community service. Mr. Pagano said, “Not only is this a great learning experience for the students but they can add this to their resume.”

Eastern Suffolk BOCES students create a portfolio prior to graduating.

Information about the community service they have performed while enrolled at BOCES, as well as letters of introduction,

thank you letters, and CDs containing pictures and videos of them working and learning their skill comprises a portfolio they take with them into the “world of work.”

On behalf of Father Mike Torpey, Pastor of Our Lady of Mount Carmel, Maintenance Manager Will Garcia said, “There are three buildings to care for here and having the students clean the church and other areas is very helpful. They are very good workers.”

Community Service XP

Excellence, the only ALS Association certified center on Long Island.

Area students, members of the community, and others interested in supporting the Ride for Life are welcome to help install the pinwheels.

The idea of the pinwheels, conceived by Christopher Pendergast, is to remind everyone of the importance of research to seek better treatments for ALS and that a cure is “blowin’ in the wind.”

For students seeking community service recognition that may be required from organizations

or schools, a form is available to recognize their efforts. All volunteers are requested to bring a screwdriver if they have one.

Refreshments are available to volunteers, including bagels during the morning hours and pizza and beverages for lunch. In the case of rain, the pinwheel installing would then take place on May 5th, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.

For more information about volunteering, please e-mail Janice Rohlf at punky11777@ gmail.com.

what has proven to be a continued and extended challenging period,” said Maria Torroella Carney, MD, North Shore-LIJ’s director of communitybased geriatrics in the department of medicine, who leads the mobile van project. “It’s very rewarding to assist these residents as they put their lives back together.

We’re bringing quality healthcare resources from the health system directly to their communities.”

Lisa Burch, North Shore-LIJ’s director of sustainability and social responsibility, said the award recognizes North Shore-LIJ’s commitment to the community. “We’re not just about providing care to the patients who walk through our doors but also helping those who cannot get to the care they require,” she said.

This is the third year that Sustainable Long Island is bestowing the “Getting It Done” awards to local organizations.

This year, groups are being honored for their work helping people impacted by Hurricane Sandy.

North Shore-LIJ received its award last week during Sustainable Long Island’s seventh annual sustainability conference held at Carlyle on the Green in Bethpage State Park.

Pinwheels For Peace

The annual Ride for Life, started in 1998 by Christopher Pendergast, a 20year ALS patient, advocate, and founder of the Ride for Life Organization, raises awareness and funds for ALS, a fatal neurodegenerative disease. The 12-day power wheelchair trek by ALS patients across Long Island begins May 6th and ends May 18th. A cornerstone of the Ride is the Celebration and Remembrance Ceremony at Stony Brook. The Ride also helps support Stony Brook Medicine’s Christopher Pendergast ALS Center of

North Shore-LIJ Health System’s Project Coastal Care has received one of Sustainable Long Island’s Getting It Done Awards this year for providing free medical care to New Yorkers impacted by Hurricane Sandy.

Since the program’s inception last November, Project Coastal Care has treated more than 1,200 people in a mobile medical van that has made regularly scheduled visits to areas affected by the super storm, including Broad Channel in Queens, Staten Island and the Long Island communities of Long Beach and Lindenhurst.

The van began treating people in Babylon this month. The North ShoreLIJ Health System received a $350,000 grant from the Robin Hood Relief Fund in February which will enable the van’s medical team to continue treating people through August.

The mobile van is staffed with medical professionals, administrative support personnel and a driver.

Patients have been treated for a range of illnesses and injuries, including upper respiratory infections, minor lacerations and maintenance of chronic and acute illnesses. In addition, the van’s medical staff provides flu and tetanus vaccinations. All of the care has been delivered free of charge, regardless of whether patients are insured.

“We’re providing a valuable service to people during a difficult time in their lives and

Volunteers are needed to assist Stony Brook University staff on May 4th, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., when 6,000 pinwheels will be installed in a field at South P Lot on the Stony Brook University Campus.

The pinwheels represent the lives lost annually to ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis), also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease.

The pinwheels will serve as a powerful backdrop at Stony Brook University’s annual Ride for Life Celebration and Remembrance Ceremony, which will take place on May 11th, starting at 2 p.m.

Signing On The Dotted Line

Suffolk Zone 6 - NEIGHBOR NEWSPAPERS - Wednesday MAY 1, 2013 • www.southbaysneighbor.com

The athletic season for nine Ward Melville High School seniors will continue next fall, as these students have committed to compete on the athletic teams at some of the nation’s top Division I, II and III colleges and universities.

As is customary, Division I and II students marked this commitment by signing National Letters of Intent with their chosen institutions of higher education.

“This is no small accomplishment – it is the culmination of many years of hard work and

dedication to not only Sara Buckley – your academics, but also Manhattan College, your chosen sport,” stated Swimming Erin Blaney, the district’s Matthew Corrie – Pace executive director of University, Football health, physical education, Alex Fitzgerald – Lehigh recreation and athletics. “I University, Track am confident that you will Colleen Lampe – Marist go on to represent both College, Swimming Ward Melville and your Alexa Rohan – Stanford new school well in the University, Fencing future.”

Division III The Three Village Courtney Cleary – SUNY Central School District Geneseo, Volleyball extends its congratulations Harley Kaiserman – to the following student- Roger Williams University, athletes and wishes them Tennis well next year: Kevin Doherty – Division I & II Endicott College, Lacrosse Alexa Antipas – Ohio State University, Fencing

Artistic Earth

Cultural Exchange

If seeing creates a better level of understanding, then Ward Melville High School student-musicians from the school’s Camerata, concert choir and women’s choral ensemble certainly have fostered a deeper appreciation for the way of life of the Maasai tribe of Kenya. For the second year, Ward Melville High School students have had the chance to learn about this tribe through a cultural exchange assembly with Chief Joseph Ole Tipanko, a teacher and ambassador to the United Nations, and fellow tribesman John.

During their visit, the representatives spoke about their united effort to raise funds to build schools as well as better the lives and the quality of life in this tribe. The members’ presentation focused on the Maasai’s

culture, lifestyles and practice of peace among its people. Additionally, they spoke about the tribe’s history, community values, religious beliefs, leadership and political infrastructure and policy. The students had the chance to view traditional garb from the tribe, purchase jewelry pieces in support of the group’s effort and learn a traditional Maasai song.

“Today’s program was a symbol of how music unites us globally,” said teacher Linda Contino.

“The students were able to learn about this culture firsthand from the individuals who are so directly connected to it, and it provided an outlet to increase our community’s awareness of the struggles that these individuals face on a daily basis.”

In an effort to assist

the representatives with their mission, the school collected more than $400 and close to 30 pairs of gently used adults’ and children’s shoes. As education for young girls is a rarity in the region, the students’ monetary donation will provide the funds for three Maasai girls to attend boarding school and aid in the protection of their human rights.

Junior Thomas Brown, who has a personal connection to a similar fundraising effort in another Long Island school district, spearheaded the project. This is the second year the school has participated in the initiative and the second year it has been able to sponsor three girls’ boarding school expenses.

The American Heart Association’s 4th Annual Healing Heart 5K Run/ Walk will be held on Sunday, May 19th, on the property of the beautiful Martha Clara Vineyards in the heart of the Long Island wine country in Riverhead. More than 800 runners are expected.

Day of event registration begins at 8:00 a.m., with the fun run for children 10 and under beginning at 10:00 a.m. and the 3.1 mile off road race beginning at 10:15 a.m.

Following the race, the awards ceremony will take

place at 11:30 a.m. with awards being given to the top male and female runners along with the top runners in various age categories. A health expo will also be available during the event open to all participants.

The Healing Heart 5K hopes to raise awareness that heart disease is the number one killer of men and women across the country and here on Long Island. The event creates a culture of health and physical activity, giving families the opportunity to participate in heart healthy

activities together.

For more information or to register for the event, contact Danielle Erath at 516.450.9121 or Danielle Erath@heart.org.

Pre-register by May 18th - adults $30 / $35 day of race, children under the age of 16 $15 / day of race $20.

Event is sponsored by East End Cardiology. Local media sponsors include News 12, WBAB & WBLI. For more information and to register online, visit www.healingheart5k.org.

Heart Healing Walk

In an effort to reduce their carbon footprints and create a greener tomorrow, students and staff members throughout the Three Village Central School District marked this year’s Earth Day with a variety of environmentally conscious activities.

At Nassakeag Elementary School, the sixth-grade art club worked with teacher Erica Cacciatore on group art pieces. Using acrylic paint and large canvases, the close-to-40 students researched the topic of Earth Day and then created drawings to visually depict

what the day means to them. The completed pieces were put on display just prior to Earth Day for all to enjoy and as a reminder to be earthfriendly.

Setauket Elementary School’s first-grade classes transformed trash into treasure as they fashioned useful items out of commonly discarded household products. From juice and milk cartons to water bottle caps and cardboard, the students created both practical and imaginative pieces.

Tying into their literacy

lessons, the classes wrote a descriptive overview of their project and, with the help of their teachers, read poems and sang songs about Earth Day and recycling.

“As part of our science unit, we talk about the importance of recycling and how certain items such as plastic don’t break down,” explained teacher Eileen Biamonte. The students’ projects were put on display on Earth Day, and each class had a chance to rotate through the classrooms’ “Earth Day museums.”

Servant activities and giving back to others are a big part of the curriculum at Long Island Lutheran Middle & High School; and from April 11th through April 13th, LuHi hosted its 3rd Meal Packing Event.

LuHi students, faculty and staff helped to package soy, rice, dried vegetables and seasoning mix to prepare nutritionally balanced meals.

These meal packets were then distributed to Island Harvest, The

Inn (Hempstead,) St. Hugh’s (Huntington Station,) St. Patrick’s (Huntington,) Our Lady of Grace Howard Beach,) the Freeport Emergency Food Pantry and other local food pantries in need.

Additional meal packets are being shipped to the Andrew Grene School outside of Port au Prince, Haiti, an official feeding site that will prepare and serve the food to children in need. In total 310,044 meals were packed over the

three-day period.

In addition to LuHi’s student body and faculty of 680, volunteers from Long Island Lutheran Day School, The Greenvale School, Mill Neck School for the Deaf, the Oyster Bay H.S. Interact Club, Hempstead-Uniondale Rotary Club, Hempstead HS Haitian-American Group, Elwood Elementary School and various Lutheran and other church and community organizations helped us

Meal Packing Event pack the meals to feed hungry individuals on Long Island and abroad.

Members of the Jones Beach Coast Guard Station lent their muscle power and helped with the set-up of this event.

Over $80,000 was raised as the project generated much excitement among the LuHi Family and the Long Island Community, including the following major sponsors of the event: Long Island Lutheran Middle & High School,

The Hallock Family, Thrivent Financial for Lutherans, Henry Schein, the Bergman Fund, Food Network and twenty-one other school, church and community organizations.

Long Island Lutheran was also selected as a finalist in MSG Varsity’s Charity Champions contest for their efforts in funding, planning, hosting, and completing this massive project.

Partnership Anniversary

Suffolk Zone 6 - NEIGHBOR NEWSPAPERS - Wednesday MAY 1, 2013 • www.southbaysneighbor.com

Five hundred supporters gathered together to celebrate the Long Island Housing Partnership’s (LIHP) 25th Anniversary.

The event – held on April 11th at the Crest Hollow Country Club in Woodbury – celebrated LIHP’s 25 years of helping Long Islanders achieve the American Dream of home ownership.

Shaun Donovan, United States Secretary of Housing and Urban Development, delivered the Keynote Address. Donovan’s tenure as HUD Secretary has reflected his commitment to making quality housing possible for every American.

In December 2012, President Obama created the Hurricane Sandy Rebuilding Task Force and appointed Secretary Donovan as Chair.

In his remarks Secretary

Donovan spoke about LIHP’s achievements over the years and also described Hurricane Sandy relief and recovery efforts on Long Island as well as the importance of preparing for similar storms in the future.

LIHP President Peter Elkowitz and Chairman of the Board Kevin S. Law described the numerous successes LIHP has achieved and expressed their sincere gratitude to the many individuals and companies who have been partners to that success.

In the past 25 years, “LIHP has transitioned from constructing 11 homes over two years to assisting more than 25,000 individuals achieve their American Dream of home ownership,” stated Law. LIHP’s programs have expanded significantly

through the years and now include construction; providing technical assistance to municipalities, developers and not-forprofit organizations in the construction of affordable workforce housing; education and counseling (from pre-purchase to default/foreclosure counseling); down payment assistance programs; neighborhood stabilization; residential rehabilitation; and one of the largest Employer Assisted Housing Programs in the nation.

“There is no finer reward than to see someone – who believed they never could own a house – take the keys to their front door and walk into their first home!” stated Elkowitz.

Tri-M Inductions The Earl L. Vandermeulen High School Chapter 2172 of the Tri-M Music Honor Society hosted its sixth annual honors recital and induction on April 17th. The evening began with a welcome from high school Principal Dr. Matthew Murphy and was followed by a recital of 17 instrumental and vocal performances by students, including pieces by Mozart, Andrew Lloyd Webber and Bach.

The evening continued with a brief address by Director of Music and Fine Arts Michael Caravello, who thanked parents for supporting and nurturing their children’s music education and highlighted the wealth of talent present.

“To dedicate and share your music with others is truly a gift,” he said.

Family, friends and faculty looked on as continuing members were recognized and new inductees were honored for their efforts. Requirements needed to become a member of Tri-M are based on the society’s five points of distinction: scholarship, character, cooperation, leadership and service. The induction marks an individual’s successful completion of a term of candidacy.

partner with a community organization are required to pass resolutions supporting the project on which the two entities partner.

Projects must be capital in nature and have a significant and sustainable impact that enhances economic activity.

“Providing grant funding through this program encourages local organizations to partner with their municipality and find ways to enhance public lands, improve the vitality of business districts, and contribute to walkable communities and bustling downtowns,” said Bellone.

Among the kinds of projects that are eligible for grants are: · Public Parking Facilities · Curb and sidewalk construction · Pedestrian walkways · Street lighting · Public Restrooms

· Disabled accessibility · Renovations to existing structures · Cultural facilities The Downtown Revitalization Citizens Advisory Panel utilizes a point system to evaluate each application to ensure projects that receive funding will make the greatest contribution to the long-term improvement of local downtown business districts and have a positive economic impact on Suffolk County as a whole.

“A Tri-M member is one who sets a good example, is “Whether it’s going to local hospitals during the always willing to assist those students who are striving to holidays or assisting the district hosting the Mid-Island Band Festival this year, their dedication and commitment to music serves as an example to others of what can be accomplished with hard work, self-discipline and a lot of practice,” said Caravello of the society’s members. Addressing them, “I hope that all of you continue your passion and love for music over the years and take it with you into college, adulthood and for the rest of your lives.”

Inductees: Caroline Biondo, Taylor Carley, Jonathan Chun, Andie Fortier, Rachel Geiser, Steven Geiser, Christopher Graci, Ju Mi Ha, Margo Martin-Deprez, Alden Mohacsi, Kayley Okst, Chiara Repetti-Ludlow, Alberto Rescia, Morgan Sakovich, Lara Sarubbi and Gabrielle Stark.
