Portfolio by Wells Fargo® customers are eligible to receive an additional interest rate bonus on these accounts.3 1. To qualify for this offer, you must have a new or existing Platinum Savings account and enroll the account in this offer between 01/21/2019 and 03/22/2019. This offer is subject to change at any time, without notice. This offer is available only to Platinum Savings customers in the following states: CT, DC, DE, FL, GA, MD, NJ, NY, SC and VA. In order to earn the Special Interest Rate of 2.08% (Special Rate), you must deposit $25,000 in new money (from sources outside of Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., or its affiliates) to the enrolled savings account and maintain a minimum daily account balance of $25,000 throughout the term of this offer. The corresponding Annual Percentage Yield (APY) for this offer is 2.10%. The Special Rate will be applied to the enrolled savings account for a period of 12 months, starting on the date the account is enrolled in the offer. However, for any day during that 12 month period that the daily account balance is less than the $25,000 minimum, the Special Rate will not apply and the interest rate will revert to the standard interest rate applicable to your Platinum Savings account. As of 12/10/2018, the standard interest rate and APY for a Platinum Savings account in CT, DC, DE, FL, GA, MD, NJ, NY, SC and VA with an account balance of $0.01 to $99,999.99 is 0.03% (0.03% APY) and with an account balance of $100,000 and above is 0.05% (0.05% APY). Each tier shown reflects the current minimum daily collected balance required to obtain the applicable APY. Interest is compounded daily and paid monthly. The amount of interest earned is based on the daily collected balances in the account. Upon the expiration of the 12 month promotional period, standard interest rates apply. Minimum to open a Platinum Savings account is $25. A monthly service fee of $12 applies in any month the account falls below a $3,500 minimum daily balance. Fees may reduce earnings. Interest rates are variable and subject to change without notice. Wells Fargo may limit the amount you deposit to a Platinum Savings account to an aggregate of $1 million. Offer not available to Private Banking, Wealth, Business Banking or Wholesale customers. 2. Annual Percentage Yield (APY) is effective for accounts opened between 01/21/2019 and 03/22/2019. The 11-month New Dollar CD special requires a minimum of $25,000 brought to Wells Fargo from sources outside of Wells Fargo Bank N.A., or its affiliates to earn the advertised APY. Public Funds and Wholesale accounts are not eligible for this offer. APY assumes interest remains on deposit until maturity. Interest is compounded daily. Payment of interest on CDs is based on term: For terms less than 12 months (365 days), interest may be paid monthly, quarterly, semi-annually, or at maturity (the end of the term). For terms of 12 months or more, interest may be paid monthly, quarterly, semi-annually, or annually. A fee for early withdrawal will be imposed and could reduce earnings on this account. Special Rates are applicable to the initial term of the CD only. At maturity, the Special Rate CD will automatically renew for a term of 6 months, at the interest rate and APY in effect for CDs on renewal date not subject to a Special Rate, unless the Bank has notified you otherwise. Due to the new money requirement, accounts may only be opened at your local branch. Wells Fargo reserves the right to modify or discontinue the offer at any time without notice. Offer cannot be combined with any other consumer deposit offer. Minimum new money deposit requirement of at least $25,000 is for this offer only and cannot be transferred to another account to qualify for any other consumer deposit offer. If you wish to take advantage of another consumer deposit offer requiring a minimum new money deposit, you will be required to do so with another new money deposit as stated in the offer requirements and qualifications. Offer cannot be reproduced, purchased, sold, transferred, or traded. 3. The Portfolio by Wells Fargo program has a $30 monthly service fee, which can be avoided when you have one of the following qualifying balances: $25,000 or more in qualifying linked bank deposit accounts (checking, savings, CDs, FDIC-insured IRAs) or $50,000 or more in any combination of qualifying linked banking, brokerage (available through Wells Fargo Advisors, LLC) and credit balances (including 10% of mortgage balances, certain mortgages not eligible). If the Portfolio by Wells Fargo relationship is terminated, the bonus interest rate on all eligible savings accounts, and discounts or fee waivers on other products and services, will discontinue and revert to the Bank’s then-current applicable rate or fee. For bonus interest rates on time accounts, this change will occur upon renewal. If the Portfolio by Wells Fargo relationship is terminated, the remaining unlinked Wells Fargo Portfolio Checking or Wells Fargo Prime Checking account will be converted to another checking product or closed. © 2019 Wells Fargo Bank, N.A.

January’s Charity of the Month is: PBS Community Foundation

how funding is used to purchase needed support and services. While the number of individuals choosing to self direct their services is quickly growing, the PBS Community Foundation aims to provide support through grass roots, community based networks. The PBS Community Foundation initiatives started with Big Time Glee, a singing group that now meets twice a month in Smithtown. This group performs at various events such as Long Island Ducks games! In response to numerous requests from the Self-Directed community, the Foundation created a similar group in Nassau, which meets monthly in Bellmore. This is called the Nassau Voice. Aditionally, another initative, The Crafting Connection, meets every other week to work on different crafty projects or just to socialize and play games. More recently, Self-Directed individuals are focusing on the health of their mind and body. The PBS Community Foundation offers Yoga Without Boundaries twice a month at the Yoga Darshana Center in West Babylon. This center generously donates the space and Dan Elfawal, a certified special educator and yoga instructor, leads a free yoga class open to individuals with all abilities. Dan says the students walk away focused, calm and self confident. Through the practice of yoga, students build strength and develop coping skills, which can lead to a healthier lifestyle. If you have any questions about this organization and their services, please contact Ruth-Ann Hartney at info@pbscommunityfoundation.org!

Another organization you can become involved with: Maurer Foundation www.MaurerFoundation.org/Bowling The Maurer Foundation is a local non-profit organization. Their mission is to save lives through breast health education and they focus on breast cancer prevention, healthy lifestyle choices, early detection and risk reduction. This foundation is holding their 10th Annual Bowling Fundraiser, Pink Bowl, on Sunday, February 10th from 11:30AM-1:30PM at Bowlmor Lanes in Melville. They invite you to join them with your friends and colleagues to enjoy a fun day of bowling, which will benefit a great cause! For more information, please call 631-524-5151. Pre-registration required by January 30th. If you would like your organization to be featured in this column, e-mail Noelle@SouthBaysNeighbor.com!

Let’s Take In Some Culture This Weekend “Give every day the chance to become the most beautiful day of your life.” - Unknown When was the last time you took in a nice play, or a concert in an intimate venue? Perhaps an art gallery showing, featuring some local up and coming artists, or a museum exhibit? I don’t know about you, but culture really feeds my soul. A weekend spent entrenched in the arts or science or history can feel akin to a mini-vacation, and makes me feel connected to my humanity and the world around me. Come to think of it, a nourishing hobby can do the same; whether it is volunteering at your local animal shelter, jewelry making, horseback riding (my personal favorite) or rockclimbing. It could be just about anything. I can’t speak for everyone, but for those of us who are often entrenched in the routine of grocery shopping, play dates, errands and preparing for the

week ahead, we can sometimes lose sight of the opportunity that each weekend holds for us. As I edit the Coming Events Around Town calendar each week for the newspaper, I see so many interesting and culturally enriching events taking place throughout Long Island. I will admit, I have been guilty of thinking, “Note to self. You have to go check this out,” and then I’ll get sidetracked and forget to go. I’ll let myself get so swept up in life that the days will get away from me. It happens to the best of us. But the twenty-four hours that we are granted each day are filled with endless promise, and we owe it to ourselves to make the most of them whenever possible. When it comes to squeezing every ounce of opportunity out of each weekday in terms of career, I’m batting a thousand. But I’ve been slacking a bit on squeezing every ounce of life and enjoyment out of the 48 hours between Friday night and Sunday night. Let’s make this a collective challenge! Each weekend, let’s

comb through What’s Happening Around Town in South Bay’s Neighbor as well as other local Long Island newspapers. Look at everything the area has to offer, from movie screenings and crafting, to classes, lectures and music events. Next time something catches your eye, stop in your tracks, make plans and get tickets, or simply make a reservation. Incidentally, you would be surprised at the amount of free activities around town. Feeling like a homebody this winter? Invite a bunch of friends over for a Saturday night potluck dinner and classic movie screening. Share laughs, memories and great food. Then take in some classic films in your living room. Maybe even break out a board game or two. Do something that will have you skipping back to work or school, or the Monday routine, with newfound vigor. I’m holding myself to this one too. Drop me a line and let me know how you made the most out of your 48 hours this weekend.

The PBS Community Foundation, a 501(c)3 non-profit organization, was established to help people with autism spectrum disorders, developmental disabilities and other special needs. They particularly focus on selfdetermination and full inclusion in the local community. Their mission is to help these individuals access the support and services they need to become active and productive members of the community, as well as encourage long-term planning and to support efforts towards establishing social connections and friendships in the community. For individuals with disabilities, the movement away from inadequate and segregated institutional congregate custodial care has been taking place for 40 years. Now more than ever, individuals with disabilities are seeking the opportunity to stay in their own communities and pursue their personal goals, while receiving the needed levels of support to make full community inclusion a sustainable reality. In New York State, anyone who is eligible for OPWDD Services (NYS Office For People With Developmental Disabilities) and enrolled in the Home and Community Based Services (HCBS) Waiver, can choose to selfdirect their services. As of September 30, 2018, there were 2,926 individuals enrolled in ‘Self Direction’ on Long Island. (Source: NYS OPWDD) Self-Direction is a person-centered approach that empowers individuals with developmental disabilities to create a life plan with supports that they chose, based on their unique strengths, needs and goals. It also gives the individual more control over

Twenty-one Merrick School District students have been chosen to participate in the Nassau Music Educators Association All-County Music Festival concerts running Jan. 13-19 at LIU Post’s Tilles Center for the Performing Arts.

The festival is open to deserving fourth-

The Right Wine When pairing wine and food, think of wine as a condiment-it should complement a dish. The general rule is to try to

achieve a balance-wine should not overpower the food, nor should the food overpower the wine.

Celebrating Authors Fifth-grade students at East Meadow School District’s Parkway Elementary School celebrated their personal narratives on January 10th. Each fifth-grade class spent the past two months brainstorming, creating and executing a personal narrative. With the stories completed and published,

the students shared while also reading their peers’ tales. The students swapped classrooms to read several narratives, then left notes on the authors’ compliment sheets. Narratives included memories ranging from trips to Six Flags to birthday parties and family vacations. When

the exercise concluded, students came back to their own desks to view the compliments left by their peers and celebrated with their classmates. The narratives were an excellent opportunity for students to share personal stories while seeing the chronicles and creativity of their classmates.

A home is a place where you lay your head down Where you eat and drink with family all around The good times roll, and the years pass No second thought on how it goes so fast Nothing lasts forever, and some people move on Eventually, with everyone gone

Personal Narrative Cafe Kara Riley’s thirdgrade class in the East Meadow School District’s Meadowbrook Elementary School transformed their classroom into a Personal Narrative Café on January 8th. The café was opened to celebrate the students first published personal narrative writing. The third-graders had been working on the short

stories for the past two months by going through the phases of brainstorming, revising, editing, publishing and celebrating. During the celebration, the students completed a full “book tasting menu” by reading a different peer’s book for each of the four courses (appetizer, salad, main course and dessert). After completing the book

“meal,” students turned to their “reflection napkin” where they shared notes on how each of the authors “glowed,” by providing highlights of their books and how they can “grow” by sharing constructive feedback. The café was a great way for students to celebrate, share and reflect their two months of hard work.

Now the sun rises and sets without a sound To silent rooms where memories are bound The day finally comes when you must say goodbye But you can’t hold on no matter how hard you try You tell yourself, “Stop, it’s just four walls” Yet deep down you know that’s not true at all In your thoughts and heart are where you’ll meet At 1234 Anywhere Street

Linu Chacko and William Morris, both English teachers at Wellington C. Mepham High School in the Bellmore-Merrick Central High School District, recently earned certifications from the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards. “Ms. Chacko’s and Mr. Morris’ candidacy, which took approximately 24 months to complete,

involved a number of assessments on teachers’ content knowledge, differentiation in instruction, teaching practice and learning environment, and effective and reflective practice,” explained Mary Donnelly, an English chair. “Sixty percent of their total score came from the creation of an extensive teaching portfolio that must include descriptive aspects of lessons or assignments, new and original analyses and reflections on teaching practice, samples of student work, and classroom videos.” The national board was created by teachers and represents a consensus among educators about what accomplished teachers should know and be able to do. The

certification process requires that teachers demonstrate standardsbased evidence of the positive effect they have on student learning. Pictured: Linu Chacko, left, and William Morris, right. Photo courtesy of the Bellmore-Merrick Central High School District

Firm and toned upper arms ﬂatter a strapless wedding gown

Arm, chest, and shoulder-toning exercises can be part of a strong fitness regimen. The upper arms and the shoulders have no fewer than nine primary muscles that will need firming for brides to make an impact while walking down the aisle. Tame flabby areas with exercise. According to the University of Connecticut, the upper arms are a part of the female body

Begin with the biceps, which are the front muscles of the arms directly above the elbows. Biceps are one of the stronger arm muscles, and bicep curls can help strengthen biceps further. Shape magazine suggests performing 12 repetitions of three hand positions, palms up, palms down and thumbs to the side, to really work this area. The triceps are a single muscle that has three sections, according to Fitness Magazine. Doing triceps kick-backs, bench dips and triangle push-ups can really activate these muscles and cause them to become stronger and more toned. Strengthening and elongating shoulder muscles may take a combination of exercises that work not only the deltoids (muscles surrounding the shoulders), but the chest and back as well. Arm raises, both with arms extended to the side and in front of the body, can work these areas well. Brides who want to tone up can speak with a ﬁtness instructor at a nearby gym to learn various ways to ﬁrm their arms, chests and backs in advance of their wedding days.

sweet potatoes, broccoli, greens, green tea, and dark chocolate all contain antioxidants that boost the immune system, states The Food Network. Avoid drastic diets that can do more harm than good. Simply cutting 500 calories a day can help the average person lose a pound per week if weight loss is a goal. Simple ways to trim calories are to choose skim milk over whole milk and choose low-calorie snacks. Cut Down Alcohol Consumption: Toasting to the future with a glass of wine may become rote in the months leading up to the wedding, but alcohol is a diuretic and a source of liquid calories. Alcoholic beverages dehydrate the body and cause it to hold onto water. If you must, stick to low-calorie cocktails like a vodka spritzer.

A LOVEBIRD WEDDING focuses on true love, positive support and memories created with loved ones. Our relaxed brides and grooms radiate beautiful confident energy throughout their day. We worry about the details so you can be present.

Slow Down and Relax: Those who go full-throttle with all of their responsibilities — including wedding planning — may burn out. Stress can weaken the immune system and make people vulnerable to illness.

fter the big question is popped and loving partners decide to spend their lives together as a married couple, a whirlwind of activity will ensue. Although wedding planning is exciting, some couples may feel overwhelmed with all the decisions that need to be made before they can tie the knot. In this state of increased pressure, stress may build and health could falter. According to a Cornell University study, more than 70 percent of brides-to-be have weight loss on the brain, but shedding pounds shouldn’t be the only health factor to consider. Here are some easy ways to stay mentally and physically ﬁt in advance of a happy wedding day. Get Daily Exercise: Exercise is important for maintaining a healthy body weight and keeping stress levels in check. Exercise also can boost mood. The Department of Health and Human Services recommends getting at least 150 minutes of moderate aerobic activity or 75 minutes of vigorous aerobic activity each week. Strength training exercises performed at least twice a week complete a well-balanced exercise regimen.

According to The Knot Real Weddings Study, the average cost of a wedding in 2016 exceeded $35,000, and that price tag does not include couples’ honeymoons. Some couples may not have the means to ﬁnance such lavish affairs, while others may want to save for larger expenses such as a house, while still being able to celebrate their nuptials with family and friends. Casual weddings can provide that opportunity. While casual weddings are less formal, couples will still need to keep some things in mind to make their ceremonies and receptions both fun and memorable.

Did You Know?

Don’t abandon tradition entirely. Couples hosting casual weddings may not feel beholden to all the traditions associated with more formal affairs, but that does not mean tradition should be abandoned entirely. For example, fathers-of-the-bride may still hope to share a spotlight dance with their daughters, while siblings or

friends may still hope to serve as bridesmaids or groomsmen. Just because a wedding is less formal does not mean it has to completely abandon tradition, especially those traditions that can let couples’ closest loved ones know how much they are loved and appreciated on your special day. Create your own traditions. Embracing some tradition does not mean couples cannot simultaneously create their own wedding traditions. Guests at casual weddings will likely be expecting something different than they’re used to, so couples should not hesitate to provide just that. Couples should strive to keep things tasteful but not shy away from unique ideas that ﬁt into the casual theme. Don’t overlook logistics. Small details, like transportation, parking and lodging will still need to be arranged. If hosting guests at your home after the ceremony, make sure guests will have ample places to park their vehicles. In addition, make the same efforts regarding lodging for guests that you would if planning a formal wedding, as out-of-town guests will still need a place to sleep.

Looking Beyond Gender For Modern Wedding Parties bridal parties. The wedding resource The Knot says the days of having men on one side and women on the other are gone. Coed wedding parties enable brides and grooms to have their favorite people by their side, regardless of gender.

ouples are increasingly bucking long-established trends to make weddings uniquely their own. One of today’s more popular tradition-busting trends is not adhering to gender roles when couples select friends and family members for their wedding parties.

According to The Daily Mail, over the past year, weddings across Australia and other areas of the world have seen a rise in “groomswomen” and “bridesmen.” These new modern roles are blurring the lines of wedding traditions past.

Until recently, the vast majority of wedding couples selected members of the same sex to ﬁll the roles needed for the ceremony and reception.

Couples have often said that choosing whomever they desire to stand beside them during their wedding is more authentic than separating people simply because of gender.

For example, grooms would choose fellow males to serve as their groomsmen, while brides choose other females for their

Take for example a groom-to-be who is especially close to his sister. Such siblings may serve as bridesmaids, but grooms

may want to have their sisters by their sides on their big day. Foregoing gender roles may make for a unique, customized wedding. However, it does create the question of what wedding party members will wear. Again, there are no ﬁrm rules, but coordination can make for better photos. A woman standing on the groom’s side can coordinate with the color of the bridesmaids’ dresses, but wear a different style. Or she can wear a dress that matches the color of the groomsmens’ suits. A man standing with the bride can have accessories such as tie, vest and pocket square that match bridesmaids’ dresses. One of the areas where mixing and matching genders may get a tad sticky is with older, more traditional guests. They may not understand the freedom of choice in the wedding. However, couples can discuss their bridal parties to select people who they think might prefer that couples adhere to tradition. Another possible snag is with bachelorette parties and bachelor parties. A solution to this dilemma may be to simply organize a getaway weekend for the entire bridal

party, and not separate parties for each side. Couples are increasingly deviating from tradition for their weddings by looking beyond gender when picking wedding party members. In a recent story on TheKnot, written by Carrie Anton, wedding planner Alex Chalk stated that with abandoning traditional gender roles in wedding parties, brides or grooms “get to be surrounded by the ones you want by your side,” regardless of gender. Supposing the brides closest friend and conﬁdante happens to be male, or the groom’s closest pal just happens to be female? It’s becoming more and more accepted to bestow bridal party designations as the bride and groom so desire. The article goes on to state that these modern bridal party roles obviously require new name designations, hence bridesman or groomsmaid. But let’s not forget the anticipated special designations of bride’s best man or groom of honor. It’s your special day to create a celebration that ﬁts your preferences, lifestyle and to celebrate with those nearest and dearest to you. If there were ever a time to make your own rules, this is it!

Tying the knot can be an expensive endeavor. According to The Knot 2017 Real Weddings Study, which surveyed nearly 13,000 brides and grooms in the United States, the average cost of a wedding was more than $33,000. That ﬁgure may surprise some couples, many of whom may not be able to afford spending so much on their receptions. Couples may feel pressure to compete with friends and relatives whose weddings they have attended in the past, and that may compel some to stretch their budgets and even go into debt to ﬁnance their nuptials. However, there are ways for couples to curtail their wedding costs and still impress guests.

Trim the list

Trimming the guest list may seem harsh, but couples who work together need not cut their guest lists in half. By working together, couples can likely ﬁnd between 10 and 15 acquaintances on their initial lists who won’t be offended if they’re not invited.

A greater number of couples are looking beyond traditional wedding venues and opting for more unique locales to tie the knot. Farms, ranches, and even in barns are some interesting ideas. The growing popularity of unique wedding venues may make some locations more expensive

than couples anticipate, but a willingness to tie the knot in a unique venue greatly increases couples’ options, improving the chances for an affordable venue.

Cut back on entertainment

Customizing experiences for guests is a major reason why today’s couples are spending so much more per guest than in generations past. Couples may want to give their guests unique experiences, but should not stretch their budgets or go into debt to do so. Don’t underestimate the basics: great music and dancing, and delicious food.

Tie the knot in winter

Summer and fall were the most popular wedding seasons of the last two years, and that does not ﬁgure to change anytime soon. Couples can take advantage of those trends by getting married in winter, a slow season for wedding venues and vendors, who might be more ﬂexible with their prices. The most popular months to tie the knot were September, June and October, so couples who don’t want to wed in winter but want to avoid paying top prices should avoid those three months.

Braised Lentil and Chard with Sausage By Kristen Link of Massapequa, New York

Kristen Link grew up in a German home where Sunday dinners often meant a feast of sausage or bratwurst. Now, an Integrative Holistic Health Coach and Founder of Wellness By Kristen (www.wellnessbykristen.com), she’s created an updated and more nutritionally dense version of her childhood favorite.

“This dish is comfort, homestyle cooking for the winter,” says Link. “It’s a one pot dish, so you can make it during the week and have plenty of leftovers the next day.” What You Will Need:

Let the pot come to a low boil before setting the burner to low heat and simmering with the lid off. After 15 minutes, add in chard leaves and stir. If at this point the lentils still seem al dente or are no longer covered in liquid, add a little more stock or water until they are submerged. Season as needed with your red chili flakes, salt and pepper.

CyberPatriot, the Air Force Association’s National Youth Cyber Education Program, was created to motivate students toward careers in cybersecurity and other science, technology, engineering and mathematics disciplines.

Place sausage links into the lentil mixture so that they are halfway covered. Let cook for another 10 minutes or until the lentils absorbed. Serve with crusty bread if desired! Enjoy!

Remove sausages from pan and set aside. Add the remaining oil to the pan and add in onion. Cook onions for 5 minutes until they are tender. Add garlic and cook 1 minute before adding in carrots, celery, fennel and chard stems. Stir well and cook for 5 more minutes.
