ourth-grade students enrolled in the Horizons Program at Mandalay Elementary School in Wantagh used their creativity to design a functional object primarily built from cardboard.

Pictured are some of the students showing off their skillful creations.

Is it spring yet? Are we done with the endless parade of winter storms, bringing their onslaught of rain and sleet and slush and snow and ice and all that fun stuff? I know there are those who absolutely LOVE this season and all its wondrous whiteness, but seriously… enough is enough, don’t you think? Over the last several months, our lives have been literally consumed by national weather forecasts, a succession of storms with oh-so-cute names, a lifetime supply of rock salt

and sand, mad rushes to the store for milk and eggs and bread (you know, for all those “milk” sandwiches you make while snowed in!) and the fabulous process of shoveling, cleaning the car off, shoveling the new mound of icy boulders generously distributed by the plows… and on and on and on. Oh, and that’s before we attempt the treacherous process of actually driving anywhere. Like I said, is it spring yet? So many have said that, this year, after the winter we’ve had, they promise not to complain about the heat. 90º and humid?

Awesome, sign me up! Torrential downpours and thunderstorms? At least we won’t have to shovel! Stay tuned. Guaranteed, the first heat wave we experience, all that will go out the window. Too much of anything is irritating, especially when it disrupts our daily routine. A little here and there – sure, we can all deal with that. But this winter has been one of extremes. Of course, as I write these words, the forecast is calling for 50º next week. Time to break out the tank tops and shorts; but better keep that shovel handy!

Students, Pre-K through Grade 12, are encouraged to celebrate ARTS MONTH ON LONG ISLAND by participating in the Arts Alive LI 2014 Poster Contest. The contest, which runs from February 10th to May 23rd, 2014, represents a unique opportunity for students to become involved with the premier regional celebration of the arts on Long Island, win prizes and see their winning entries in an art exhibit at Long Island Children’s Museum in Garden City, NY. The Grand Prize includes a Mini Apple IPAD and a $500 Gift Certificate, both donated by Bethpage Federal Credit Union, founding and presenting sponsor of Arts Alive LI.Monetary prizes will also be awarded to all winners in each of three (3) categories including: Pre-K - Grade 2, Grades 3-6, and Grades 7-12. New in 2014, winning posters will become part of the 2014 Arts Alive LI

Commemorative Poster Series and will be on exhibit at the Long Island Children’s Museum in October. “It is our hope that many of our region’s talented student artists will view this as an opportunity to participate in Arts Month and be featured in their first museum exhibition,” said Theresa Statz-Smith, Executive Director, Long Island Arts Alliance. “Since the submissions will be done digitally on our website, ArtsAliveLI. org, it is best suited to those who draw, paint, and specialize in graphic art or photography.” Long Island Children’s Museum President Suzanne LeBlanc announced news of the art exhibit at the Museum featuring the winning selections. “At the Children’s Museum we believe that there is a vital need for public spaces to exhibit the creative works of our neighbors. Exhibiting the artwork of

our community’s children is one way to encourage them to value and participate in the visual arts and develop the next generation of audiences for galleries and museums across Long Island. Seeing their contemporaries’ artwork on display will serve as inspiration to all our visitors to keep the “arts alive.” Arts Alive LI 2014 is presented by the Long Island Arts Alliance and Bethpage Federal Credit Union with additional support from Long Island Community Foundation and Empire State Development’s Division of Tourism/MARKET NEW YORK, through Governor Andrew M. Cuomo’s Regional Economic Development Council initiative. For poster design guidelines and the official entry form, please visit: http://www.artsaliveli.org/ poster-contest/

We Are All Destined For Something

Last week, with the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics in full swing, I made the realization that, much like those athletes, we are all destined for something. Whether it is a Gold Medal or last place, we are all put on this Earth for some reason. We may not always come out on top, but it is crucial to acknowledge that everything happens for a reason. This same idea can be applied to our everyday lives. Although we may not be Olympians, we are crusaders in our own right. Each day, we are training ourselves to excel much like Shaun White and Shani Davis; we are trying to attain perfection.

There is, however, no such thing as perfection when it comes to humanity. As demonstrated by these two stars, even professionals are mortal. When we do succeed, it is essential to recognize that we may have gotten lucky. There will always be someone just a little bit faster or a few inches taller. Nothing is certain, and we must earn what comes our way. It is all part of the master plan, and sometimes things work out. There is no such thing as a guarantee. Even Gold Medalists don’t get perfect scores. With this being said, it is perfectly understandable that we may fail in our

everyday lives. There is no guarantee that practice will lead to greatness. We can still fall short of our goals. I try to implement this mindset into every facet of my persona. With college decisions steadily flowing in, I realize that I am not perfect. It would be irrational to think that I would be accepted to all of the colleges that I applied to. Rejection is an essential part of life, as losing is a key element of the Olympics. Much like the Olympians, I know that every failure occurs for a reason. Although on a much smaller scale, my futile pursuit of excellence is a model of their determination, perseverance and trial.

Stuttering is a frustrating and embarrassing problem for millions of people, but it can be especially tough on teenagers. Help is available at most public libraries in the form of a DVD. Some libraries have an older video format. “It’s meant to encourage teens, to tell them that there is hope out there,” said Professor Peter Ramig of the University of Colorado at Boulder. Ramig is one of three nationally recognized experts appearing in the DVD produced by the nonprofit Stuttering Foundation. David Wilkins, a high school student who

stutters, narrates the DVD. It features students from junior high school through college talking about their experiences with stuttering and what they found to be helpful. They talk openly about the ridicule they faced from classmates and how their stuttering affects their lives. “We really try to emphasize the embarrassment and frustration factor, and we think teens will relate to that,” adds Ramig. He appears in the DVD along with speech-language pathologists Dr. Barry Guitar of the University of Vermont and Dr. Hugo Gregory of Northwestern

Winter Word Scramble

University. The three experts answer questions about stuttering, refute myths and misconceptions, and present examples of therapy sessions showing how stuttering can be reduced. More than three million Americans stutter, yet stuttering remains misunderstood by most people,” said Jane Fraser, president of the Stuttering Foundation. “Myths such as believing people who stutter are less intelligent or suffer from psychological problems still persist despite research refuting these erroneous beliefs.” Books and DVDs produced by the 66-yearold nonprofit Stuttering Foundation are available free to any public library. A library that will shelve them can contact the Foundation at 1.800.992.9392, e-mail info@stutteringhelp. org, or visit www. stutteringhelp.org or www.tartarmudez.org.

many riders to pay their fare.” NICE is deploying Masabi’s JustRide product, a well tested, end-to-end mobile ticketing and fare collection system. The award-winning product includes features such as ticket purchase, user display and easy validation together with sophisticated backend infrastructure for secure payments, ticket

management, customer service, reporting and real-time analytics. Masabi currently serves 17 transportation and retail companies worldwide including Boston’s MBTA and San Diego’s MTS in the U.S. and Virgin Trains and Cross Country in the U.K. “We are delighted to be working with NICE to put a personalized ticket machine into the pocket

of each of their customers, making searching for change to board the bus a thing of the past,” said Josh Robin, Vice President – North America at Masabi. “We are excited to welcome NICE to our growing family of U.S. deployments and look forward to working with them on deploying smartphone ticketing and future payment technologies.”

NICE officials plan to start beta testing with a select group of riders this spring, with full rollout this summer. Riders are encouraged to apply at www.nicebus. com to participate in the beta testing. NICE also encourages customers to take a brief survey on the site that will help NICE better understand how they currently use technology.

273568N0219

We believe our customers will embrace mobile ticketing as they have in other systems around the country” said Michael Setzer, NICE Chief Executive Officer. “Our recent on-board survey revealed that nearly 70 percent of NICE riders own smartphones, suggesting that the mobile platform is a great way to connect with our customers and provide them additional convenience.” With this new initiative, NICE will dramatically expand the ease and convenience with which its customers can buy bus tickets. Another benefit is that it will speed up the boarding process. Currently, NICE riders have limited payment options: they can either pay with correct change on the bus or use the MTA-issued MetroCard. However, there is only one MTA location in Nassau County with full-service vending machines that allow riders to buy and reload MetroCards. Over time, mobile ticketing should also help reduce fare collection costs. NICE fareboxes are antiquated, dating back to the late 1990s, and the costs of maintenance, replacement parts and cash handling are rapidly increasing. “While we will continue to coordinate with the MTA for all customers that transfer between our transit systems, we made it a priority when NICE was launched to start developing our own payment solution,” said Setzer. “We think mobile ticketing is a low cost, rapidly deployable and flexible alternative that will make it easier for

The Nassau InterCounty Express (NICE) announced today that it has signed a pilot agreement with Masabi, a leader in mobile ticketing and electronic payments for transit, to bring smartphone ticketing to NICE bus riders. NICE will become among the first U.S. bus transit systems to offer smartphone ticketing to its customers featuring smartphone payment apps for both iPhone and Android. NICE’s paratransit system, known as Able-Ride, will allow customers to use the same smartphone app to pay their fares. NICE is a public-private operating partnership between Nassau County and Veolia Transportation. Veolia manages all aspects of the transit system under contract to the county, effectively serving as the transit agency. With the new mobile ticketing system, riders will be able to purchase bus tickets at their convenience, and activate them as they board the vehicle. Upon boarding, riders will display to the operator a secure, visually verifiable ticket on their smartphones. For added security, mobile tickets will also feature scannable barcodes for occasional spot checks by NICE officials. In future phases of the project, NICE may install hardware that allows riders to pay by scanning a barcode, or simply bringing their smart device in close proximity to a sensor. “This project is one of several recent technology initiatives at NICE bus which will help transform the experience of riding transit in Nassau County.

freezing and allow you to run the engine for heat for a longer time. Pack A Winter Survival Kit: The kit should contain non-perishable food, water, warm clothes, blankets, tea light candles (for warmth), waterproof matches, flares, tools or a multi-function knife, a small mirror (for signaling), brightly colored cloth/plastic (for visibility), tow chain/strap and a small pot for melting snow (to drink). Use The Heater Sparingly: Running your engine and heater for ten minutes every hour is enough to keep you warm while also conserving fuel. While the engine is running, slightly open a downwind window for fresh air. Make sure to keep the exhaust pipe clear of snow to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning. Keeping Moving: At least once an hour, vigorously move your arms, hands, legs, feet and toes to improve circulation and keep warm. Important: Don’t exercise enough to get hot or sweaty. Wet clothes lose insulation value, making you susceptible to hypothermia. Also, avoid use of cigarettes or alcohol

Apply Now The Applications for the 8th Annual Polish American Museum Founders Scholarship are now available upon request. The Scholarship is offered to high school students of Polish descent residing in Nassau and Suffolk County and citizens of the United States. The student must be entering college in the Fall 2014. The Scholarship was established on the occasion of the museum’s thirty anniversary in honor of its three founders, Chester Wrobel, Doctor Raymond Adamczak and Julian Jurus. Today the museum continues to serve the

community with many exhibits depicting the contribution of Polish people and their heroic efforts in the fight for freedom. In addition, there are lectures and concerts throughout the year. Last year’s Polish American Museum Founders Scholarship is attending the University of Stony Brook. The deadline for submitting the application to the Polish American Museum Founders Scholarship Committee, 16 Belleview Avenue, Port Washington 11050 is April 25th, 2014. Additional information call 516.883.6542.

as these will reduce your ability to stay warm. Stay Hydrated: The keys to winter survival are to stay dry, hydrated and warm. Drink fluids sparingly over time to avoid dehydration. Don’t put snow in your mouth as a source of liquid, always melt it first. “Eating” snow will lower your body temperature, increasing your risk of hypothermia. Make Your Vehicle Easy To Find: Tie a piece of brightly colored cloth or plastic to your antenna or hang it out of a window. When running the engine at night, turn on interior lights if you hear rescuers nearby. Rescuers can see a small glow at a considerable distance. To reduce battery drain, use

emergency flashers only if you hear approaching vehicles. If the snow has stopped falling, open the hood of the car as a distress signal. Keep the roof of your car free of snow so it’s visible from the air. Communicate: Make sure that your cell phone is fully charged. Call 911 and describe your location as precisely as possible. Keep calls brief to save your battery. Sending text messages for help has the best chance of getting through while minimizing battery loss. Don’t Expect To Be Comfortable: The goal is to endure until you’re found. Remember that the keys to survival are to remain calm and patient, and to be prepared.

Many hazards come with winter driving, but the possibility of being stranded may be one of the worst. If you get stranded while driving, here are some tips geared at helping you survive: Plan Your Route: Don’t use back roads to avoid traffic or save time. Take heavily traveled routes where more people can spot you. Also, main roads are the first areas that rescue workers will reach in emergencies. If you must drive, travel during the day and don’t travel alone. Tell family or friends where you are going, the route you will take and when you expect to arrive. Stay With Your Vehicle: While it will get cold, your vehicle is your best protection against wind and exposure. Remain in your vehicle where rescuers are most likely to find you. Abandon your car only as a last resort. A single person walking through the snow is much harder to find than a stranded vehicle. Prepare Your Vehicle: Make sure your vehicle is winterized and in good driving condition. Keep your gas tank full. This will keep the fuel line from

Grants Awarded

With support from the New York State Health Foundation (NYSHealth), 25 organizations across New York State are ramping up their efforts to prevent diabetes. Grant awards totaling more than $400,000 will help community-based organizations - from local health departments and health systems to community health centers and YMCAs implement and expand the National Diabetes Prevention Program (NDPP). This 16-week program, which focuses on lifestyle changes to

improve healthy eating and physical activity, uses a well-tested model that could help the 4.5 million New Yorkers with prediabetes reduce their risk of developing the disease by 50%. “New York State is facing a serious and costly health crisis, with nearly 25% of the population already living with diabetes,” said James R. Knickman, President and CEO of NYSHealth. “We need to focus energy and resources on preventing the onset of diabetes and a whole host of other health problems

related to obesity. The NDPP model is the most well-tested diabetes prevention program out there, and pushing it out to more New Yorkers in some of the hardest-hit communities across the State will be an important component of curbing the diabetes epidemic.” With this more than $400,000 investment, the Foundation will reach communities with high rates of diabetes and prediabetes, and make the NDPP available to New Yorkers in places where they live, work, and worship. The grantees

selected have the potential for large-scale statewide or regionwide impact on spreading and sustaining the NDPP, which has been lauded by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention as an effective, evidence-based public health program. The NDPP is a community-based program conducted by trained lifestyle coaches to teach people with prediabetes how to modify their eating and physical activity habits, and to sustain those changes over time.

District TechDay The Wantagh School District hosted its first techDay, during which approximately 60 students participated in this after-school activity to expand their knowledge of computer programming. Participants attended one of three workshops, the goal being to introduce students to programming and computer science, a field which will grow rapidly over the next 10 years. Today, students are surrounded by highly sophisticated technology, including iPads, iPhones, tablets and laptops. Board of Education trustee and techDay cofounder Peter Mountanos explained, “These devices are all controlled with programs, yet most students do not have an appreciation for how a cellphone, app or computer program works.” According to Code.org, the website behind the national Hour of Code initiative, only 400,000 individuals will be qualified for the more than 1.4 million new computer science jobs expected to exist in the next 10 years. The site states that the opportunity is ripe for educators to equip students for success in this emerging and expanding job market. TechDay’s co-founders decided to work with the district to address this global concern and to enhance the district’s technology curriculum by promoting computer programming education. “The goal of techDay was to expose Wantagh students to programming and advance their knowledge of computer applications, making them more equipped for the future,” said Penny Curry, the district’s director of information systems and instructional technology. TechDay was the vision of Wantagh alumni who share a passion for computer science. Mountanos first learned to program while conducting particle physics research at Brookhaven National Laboratory and is currently

studying applied computer science and data analytics at NYU. Co-founder Daniel Charytonowicz discovered programming while conducting neuroimaging research at NYU Medical Center, and is pursuing computer science in his biomedical engineering studies at the University of Delaware. Alumni Chris Fiscella and Anthony Consoli both take computer science classes in college. Each hopes to apply computer science in a different way – a testament to the field’s interdisciplinary value. “It’s the kind of knowledge that applies to just about everything,” Mountanos said. During techDay, students were divided into three groups according to ability and were exposed to the

basics of programming, many for the first time. Beginners were introduced to MIT’s Scratch, an easyto-learn programming language designed for new programmers of all ages. Two beginner sections, taught by Fiscella and Consoli, centered on learning basic

programming concepts and applying them to create a side-scrolling video game called “Super Swimmer,” adapted from an NYU programming course. Students attending the intermediate course, who possess an aptitude for math and science, received an introduction to the Python programming language. Python is an intuitive yet powerful language utilized in fields ranging from business to scientific research. The intermediate level students applied Python to a card game simulator, learning to read, understand and modify the games’ code. Advanced students were introduced to Python programming at a faster pace and applied it to “Breakout,” a game commonly played on smartphones. Using advanced physics programming, they learned to control the movement of a ball across the computer screen. TechDay received unanimously positive feedback from participants. With the first techDay a success, the event team continues to work with Wantagh administrators to bring more computer science opportunities into the district. The team hopes that techDay will be a regular occurrence and that more students will be exposed to programming each time it is held. “Learning to program is like learning a foreign language,” Charytonowicz said. “Vocabulary and grammar rules – that’s the easy part, but also the most important. The trick is to have a strong foundation. That’s what we hope to do with techDay – give kids a basic skill to put in their back pocket, to use for whatever tasks they may encounter in the future.” * The techDay team would like to extend a special thanks to instructional assistants Richard Myers, Kenneth Peluso, Paulina Renda and Sean Whiteman for donating their time and energy to help make this event successful.

Shark Tank Challenge Wantagh Middle School eighth-graders Nick Cerasi and Gavin Guerrera were the first-place winners of the biannual Shark Tank Challenge. The students’ “Magnetricity” project profiled the plans for an alternative energy corporation. Under the direction of business management teacher Nancy O’Connor, students enrolled in the eighth-grade business management course were required to participate in a final project called “My Business Idea!” The students worked as sole proprietors or formed a partnership, corporation or non-profit organization with fellow classmates. The individual teams determined the business idea, name, logo and slogan, and startup costs and funding were researched. The students also completed a SWOT analysis to determine the company’s strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats and defined their target market and competition. During the Entrepreneurial Challenge on January 23rd, also called the Shark Tank Challenge, students delivered a PowerPoint presentation and tri-fold presentation board

detailing their companies to a panel of judges from local businesses. Included in their presentations were business cards, the description of a grand-opening event and links to a charity organization.

Karen Kawecki and Skylar Samperi placed second for

their company, “U-Test Music,” where members could acquire a new pair of headphones each month. “Cookie Crumble,” a low-cost bakery formed by Brianna Campbell and Samantha Leavey, took third place. “These Shark Tank Challenge projects have brought a significant amount of innovation and enthusiasm to the business management class,” Ms. O’Connor said. “The students not only gained knowledge about the free enterprise system, they learned they can own their own business as long as they are willing to work hard and passionately.” The following projects were also presented: Black Panther Fur Apparel – Thomas Deedy Joe’s Sports Complex – Joe Conklin Mop Top Cleaning – Finn Duignan Rex Sports – Nick Cammarata and Ryan McCarty Top Shelf Socks – Gavin Casey and Wyatt Yustat Wicked Feet – Anthony D’Onofrio and Matty Ryall

Cultivating Kindness By: Janice Calandrino, Levittown Living by the golden rule; Do unto others as you would have done to you. Accepting that we cannot change everyone, but we can change ourselves. Identifying our pet peeves and learn how to stop feeding into them. Making that extra effort to “put ourselves out there” without losing ourselves. Talking about our feelings, good and bad, without putting the responsibility of them on others. Being courteous to others, those we know and those we don’t. Living and loving one day at a time.

“Covered Bridge” Photo by: Nancy E. Hassel

By: Sanford H. Weinberg, Plainview Fill your day with warmth and joy; Greet all you meet with a smile and a chuckle, And there will be little or no breadth for greed or sadness. Engage your heart and soul with love and happiness; It will surely be met with similitude from those persons with whom you gather, And there will be little expanse for complaints or grudges. Enliven your spirit with wonderful interests and activities; Think positive thoughts, be optimistic in your views, Share a kind word with a friend or colleague; Present a firm grip and strong handshake, And there will be little measure for misery and enmity. Complete your surroundings with an aura of thankfulness and serenity; An embrace, a hug, or perchance a welcome kiss will do, And be well assured there will never be room for animosity.

No Room For Animosity

Cooking For Hope On March 11th, Circle of Hope is set begin its monthly Cooking For Hope series of classes where teens will learn to cook various Jewish foods, and then bring their creations to people in need. The new program is being launched in conjunction with CTeen. “Cooking for Hope is an amazing opportunity for our community’s teens to come together for an incredible cause,” said Michele Krebs Moscovitz, Circle of Hope coordinator. “We hope that the program will enable us to continue our muchneeded support for people in our community who are suffering from illnesses.” During each session, teens will have the opportunity to learn to cook a variety of Kosher dishes, from soups to kugels to rugelach, all the while bringing hope and happiness to those coping with illness. Merrick

residents Sheri Fisch and Hannah David will lead the cooking instruction and demonstration each month. Circle of Hope, a project of the Chabad Center for Jewish Life, is a non-profit organization that provides awareness, emotional support and hands-on help to individuals and their families coping with breast cancer and other illnesses. “The best part of Cooking for Hope is that after the teens learn to cook and bake, they can personally deliver the dishes to community members who are not well,” said Moscovitz. “A cheerful visit with a home-cooked care package can do wonders.” Circle of Hope offers services such as support groups for those who are ill to discuss their shared experiences, as well as educational health seminars for the community. It also provides

Les Mis On Stage

Cardboard Challenge Fourth-grade students enrolled in the Horizons Program at Mandalay Elementary School in Wantagh used their creativity to design a functional object primarily built from cardboard. After watching the inspirational video, Caine’s Arcade, about a boy who built an entire arcade out of cardboard, the students were motivated to become creators of cardboard. Under the direction of Horizons teacher Renee

MacDermott, the students were instructed to create a unique object to serve a particular purpose or provide a function. The assignment’s most important rule was to be creative. Some of the finished projects included a desk organizer, gumball machine, catapult, pencil holder, pinball game and race car. Student Erin Cunnane created the Back Seat Buddy, which carries toys, pens, snacks and

Making Your Mark

In recognition of Black History Month, Optimum, in conjunction with the Smithsonian Channel™, is sponsoring the Make Your Mark video contest for high school students. The contest provides an opportunity for students to reflect on how they can make a lasting “mark” by submitting a proposal and creating a video that documents their idea on how to incite positive change within their school and community. Students with the winning video will be awarded $2,500 for a school or community project. As part of the contest, students will view the Smithsonian Channel documentary Breath of Freedom that details the experiences of AfricanAmerican GIs who helped rebuild Germany at the end of World War II and experienced equality for TAKING A JOURNEY - During Eric Powers’ presentation on American Indians the first time overseas. at East Broadway Elementary School, Levittown students learned about deer hide Just as the soldiers featured methods. Photo presented by: Elizabeth Sobel, Syntax

East Broadway students learned about the Algonquian and Iroquoianspeaking Native Americans during a presentation called Journeys Into American Indian Territory. Presenter Eric Powers discussed the geographical location of these peoples and their methods of survival, many of which have evolved into the technology we have today. In describing a flint napping technique used to

make the stone heads on arrowheads, Mr. Powers explained that current surgeons have come to realize that stone stays sharper than metal found in most surgical tools. “Ancient technology is sometimes better than current technology,” Mr. Powers said. “American Indians created a recyclable technology.” During the program, the students learned about use of a cradleboard to carry

infants, the extraordinary two-mile length of an ancient lacrosse field and the advantages these everyday nuances supported in these peoples’ ability to walk at an earlier age and to build stamina for hunting. In addition, the students participated in a simulated deer hunt, explored the interior of a longhouse and learned popular American Indian games.

in the documentary helped ignite the Civil Rights Movement, students can document their unique “mark” for positive change in their own video. The “Make Your Mark” contest is open to all high school students in Optimum’s footprint within the tri-state area. Students should record and submit a creative and informative video (two minutes maximum) that explains their “mark,” why it should be chosen and how their school or community could benefit from the $2500 award. They will then share this video (via Facebook or Tweets) with friends and family to earn votes for the project. Deadline for entries is February 28th. “Optimum is delighted to partner with the Smithsonian Channel in sponsoring the ‘Make Your Mark’ contest to celebrate Black History Month,” said Cablevision Vice President
