Come Out And Donate The New York Islanders and the American Red Cross are teaming up to celebrate Red Cross Month. Join the Islanders and the Red Cross for a blood drive at Nassau Coliseum on Saturday, March 14th from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. As a special thank you, all presenting donors will be entered for a chance to win New York Islanders tickets for select games, autographed Islanders memorabilia, and an assortment of Red Cross items.* The need for blood is constant. The Red Cross depends on blood donor heroes in communities across the nation to collect enough blood to meet the needs of patients at approximately 2,600 hospitals nationwide. Donors with all blood types are needed, particularly those with types O negative, A negative and B negative. “The Red Cross encourages Islanders fans to celebrate
Red Cross Month by donating blood,” said Kay Schwartz, Chief Executive Officer, New York-Penn Blood Services Region. “Blood can only come from generous volunteer donors. Eligible donors are encouraged to make an appointment now and help us serve patients in need.” “We’re urging our fans to give back to the Long Island community through blood donation,” said Mike Bossy, Islanders VP of Corporate Partnership and Partnership Marketing. “The team is proud to join the Red Cross in such a great cause, especially
during Red Cross Month. You never know when someone you love may be the one in need and Red Cross blood drives help ensure blood is available for patients wherever and whenever it is needed.” The Red Cross blood drive will take place in the Lower Lobby of the Coliseum. Walk-ins are welcome, but donors are encouraged to schedule an appointment in advance by downloading the Red Cross Blood Donor App, calling 1-800-RED CROSS (1.800.733.2767) or by visiting redcrossblood. org.

500 By: Jamie Lynn Ryan 500. It’s a pretty big number. Nearly ten years’ worth of weekly columns under the moniker “In Step,” a title suggested by my dear friend, co-worker and “agent” of sorts, since passed, Peter Schleifer. It was meant to be a take off on my - at that point - 13 years of dancing and the idea that, somehow, I could find a way to engage our weekly readership with my random ramblings and musings on life. It sounded like a pretty tall order then, and remains so, but having had a passion for writing since the days of poetry units and short story exercises in elementary school, I felt I was up for the challenge. To be given the opportunity to write for a living, to do something I loved and reach an audience… well, that’s pretty special any way you slice it.
jlynn@theneighbornewspapers.com www.facebook.com/instepwithjamie Suddenly, all those years of working on the high school newspaper, of fine tuning profiles and features in college, and even piecing together my 50-page Honors thesis, came rushing back. The topics may have been varied, the styles quite diverse, but at the root of it all was that feeling that this was something I could do. Sure, there have been weeks when coming up with an original idea, any idea, was somewhat tedious. Scanning through the archive, there have been plenty of recycled concepts, even a few exact reruns of “classics.” (Classics? Really? Who do you think you are, Ed Lowe?) But through it all, that same passion has always remained. This is why I studied journalism. This was the reason for my career choice, in spite of all those detractors who warned that
it was impossible to make a living in this field. Ultimately, though, it was exactly that “reality” that served as added inspiration for me to go after my dreams. After all, who’s to say what’s profitable, what’s a guarantee for success? And what is success, if you’re not doing something you love? Ten years. 500 columns. Such a long time; such a lofty milestone. So much has changed since July of 2005, much of which has been reflected in those columns. They serve as a public diary of sorts, documenting the highs and lows, and a showcase for my efforts to somehow encapsulate them into words. Thank you to all those readers who have supported me along the way. Here’s to more memories and milestones!
INSPIRATION SENSATION
SUBMITTED BY: Great attitude and positivity are components needed to achieve success. L’Damian Washington, NFL wide receiver, experienced heartbreak many times throughout his efforts to become a professional athlete. L’Damian grew up with his three other brothers, LaCourtney, Tomarious and Tobias. His parents were Sonya Washington and William Myles. L’Damian was born in May of 1991, in Shreveport, Louisiana. When L’Damian was just 6 years old, his father was murdered. Ever since, his mother took care of all four children by herself. Mrs. Washington was the biggest sports fan L’Damian knew. Her smile was the first smile he saw after every game. At age 15, L’Damian’s best friend was murdered. During that same year, Mrs. Washington had been cheering for L’Damian at his high school basketball game when she had a stroke and passed away. He quotes, “I wish I was cherishing her today instead of just her memory.”
SAHIL KAPOOR • LINDENHURST L’Damian and his brothers were automatically forced into adulthood. They decided that they would remain living together. LaCourtney, the oldest brother, took charge as head of the household. He worked as much as he had to in order to put food on the table and keep their home. L’Damian started playing football at age 9. He was passionate about playing football. He had an outstanding football season in his senior year with a 3.5 GPA. L’Damian visited Louisiana Tech and Missouri colleges. He loved everything about the University of Missouri. The support from his brothers led L’Damian to signing with Missouri. In his 2012 season, which was Missouri’s first foray into the SEC, he contributed 443 yards with 2 touchdowns. L’Damian’s career-best performance was in his senior year, with 50 receptions, 893 receiving yards, and 10 touchdowns. All this time, L’Damian was devoted to keeping
HIGH SCHOOL his family together. Pro Day was his last chance to make an impression on scouts. That day, he recorded a 4.39 second 40-yard dash, which ranked among the 20 fastest receivers in the 2014 NFL draft. The Dallas Cowboys signed L’Damian as an undrafted free agent after the draft. He is currently a wide receiver on the Miami Dolphins. L’Damian sees his story as one of an unimaginable opportunity rather than heartbreak. With his determination and great attitude, L’Damian became an NFL player, but more importantly supported his family. The moral of his life story is not only to be thankful for what you have, but also to stay positive and keep moving forward. If L’Damian can overcome such difficult obstacles, you can too. He believes without these difficult experiences, he wouldn’t be the person he is today. L’Damian plans to keep working hard, learn new things, and stay true to himself.

kids,” says Donna, a Fresh Air host. Families find hosting so rewarding that more than 65 percent of all Fresh Air children are invited to visit the same host families year after year. First-time Fresh Air visitors are six to 12 years old and all it takes is the willingness to welcome a New York City child to your community.
The Fresh Air Fund, an independent, not-forprofit organization, has provided free summer experiences to more than 1.8 million innercity children since 1877. For more information about hosting this summer, please call Mary Anne McAlonan at 631.367.1988 or visit The Fresh Air Fund online at www.freshair.org.
Fresh Air Fund Day In recognition of The Fresh Air Fund’s 139th summer of bringing together New York City children and volunteer host families in New York, Governor Cuomo has recognized March 20th as Fresh Air Fund Day throughout the state. This summer, The Fresh Air Fund will once again allow thousands of inner-city boys and girls
to escape the hot, noisy New York City streets to enjoy the simple joys of summertime fun in the country! Families who participate in The Fresh Air Fund’s Volunteer Host Family Program open their hearts and homes to New York City children in the summer. “Sharing your home and the surrounding community
with a Fresh Air youngster can be the beginning of a worthwhile and meaningful experience – for both the child and your family,” says Jenny Morgenthau, Executive Director of The Fresh Air Fund. “This year, we are looking for new host families in the Western Suffolk area to celebrate our 139th summer and give children a chance to
run barefoot through the grass or gaze at the starfilled skies.” Volunteers simply want to share what they have with city children and introduce them to the joys of suburban or country life. “You don’t have to spend a lot of money or do anything fancy. The children can just play in the backyard and enjoy just being

Continued From 7 within the school for as long as they will have us.” English teacher Mrs. Mary Ellen Martin will be receiving the “Sisters of Mercy Award for Service & Dedication to Mission”. Mrs. Martin’s dedication to Catholic education started during her high school years at Maria Regina in Uniondale. Mary Ellen went on to Pace University to receive a BA in English (theatre arts concentration) and Stony Brook to get an MA in Literature. Her inevitable journey to Holy Trinity came almost 30 years ago as a mid-
year replacement in the English Department. Since then, Mary Ellen’s love of teaching led her to co-create Trinity’s esteemed Writing Program. Educational Technology magazine featured the program in an article highlighting the use of computer labs in teaching the writing process. What started as an elective for eleventh graders is now home to writing courses for all grade levels. Other activities that have kept Mary Ellen busy are her duties as co-moderator of the Student Council, oversight of the Holy Trinity Academic
Challenge Club and the coordinator of the SMART program, a study skills program for incoming freshmen students. Residing in Bellmore, Mary Ellen and her husband John are the very proud parents of two children, and HT alumni, Kelly ‘10 and Christopher ‘14. The “Distinguished Alumnus” award will be given to Mr. Emil Rensing, Class of 1992. Mr. Rensing began his professional career in 1995 at AOL beginning as an engineer and later heading a Global Strategic Development Group. His team was
19
Principal’s Gala responsible for launching AOL service/AOL.com, Match.com, Moviefone, MapQuest, AOL Instant Messenger and others. Leaving AOL in 2000, he started a media management consulting firm with a colleague and together they developed several major media and marketing transformations. Their clients included MTV, AOL Time-Warner, Victoria’s Secret PINK, and WWE among others. In 2006, Mr. Rensing launched what became the #1 online video company, Next New Networks, that produced the most watched regular
“TV” programming online. By 2011, Next New delivered over 4 billion video views to over 200MM viewers globally. As co-founder and Chief Digital Officer of Studio 3 Partners, a joint venture between Paramount Pictures, Lionsgate Films and MGM, he oversees digital products and programming at EPIX, the fastest-to-profitable cable network in history. When not focusing on his day jobs, Mr. Rensing enjoys racing with Scuderia Niosi and Sam Yau Racing in the Italian WRC & Porsche Carrera Cup, flying wherever he has time to go, sailing the
Southern Caribbean seas, and enjoying family. Holy Trinity High School is a private, coeducational Catholic high school founded in 1966 drawing students from Nassau, Suffolk and Queens Counties. It has been recognized by the U.S. Department of Education Exemplary Schools Program and is nationally known for its outstanding Academics, Athletics and Fine/Performing Arts programs.

Pedals For Progress Long Islanders can put their old bicycles to good use by donating them to Pedals for Progress, a program that rescues unwanted American bicycles (and sewing machines) and sends them to communities overseas. On Saturday, April 18th, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., members of Returned Peace Corps Volunteers of Long Island will accept donations of bicycles, sewing machines and cash for their 13th annual collection at the Massapequa Public Library, 40 Harbour Lane, Massapequa. Pedals for Progress has received, processed and donated over 143,000 bicycles, nearly 3,000 sewing machines and $10.8 million in new spare parts to partner charities in 38 developing world countries. In many countries, having a bicycle can have a critical effect on whether or not you are able to get to a job or school; it has been found that income goes up 14 percent when a family has a bicycle. For many a sewing machine means having the possibility of making a livelihood. Bette Bass who was a Peace Corps Volunteer in Peru and now lives in Massapequa, says, “The donation of one bike or sewing machine can literally help put food on the table and smiles on the faces of a whole family.”
Pedals for Progress also promotes bicycle repair businesses in the developing world. A community owned nonprofit bike store will get its first containerized cargo shipment for free (about 450 bicycles); that repair store then has to earn enough money selling the repaired bikes to pay for the next shipment. David Schwidenback, the president of Pedals for Progress, says the collection on April 18th will be sent to FIDESMA, a non-profit, nonpolitical, non-religious development foundation in Chimaltenango Guatemala. Says Schwidenback, “The Long Island Returned Peace Corps volunteers have been integral to the success of Pedals for Progress by effectively recycling the bicycles and sewing machines of Long Island. Of the many organizations that collect bicycles annually, the LIRPCV collections have consistently been the most successful. Their efforts have lifted thousands of people permanently from poverty in Central America, Africa and Eastern Europe.” “We see this as one way to continue to contribute,” says Kathy Williams Ging. “As a volunteer in Peru I saw firsthand what a big difference having a bicycle or sewing machine can make in someone’s
life.” Brian Richardson of Middle Island, who served as a Peace Corps Volunteer in Korea, feels that the collection done each year by Returned Peace Corps Volunteers of Longisland fit in well with the philosophy of the Peace Corps. “The Peace Corps is not about doing for people; it’s about helping people to become their own agents of change.” Bikes should be rust free. Bikes with flat tires in need of some repair are accepted. No tricycles. Sewing machines in working condition are also accepted. Each person who donates also will be asked to donate $10 per bike (taxdeductible) to help defray the cost of shipping the bicycles. To learn more about Pedals for Progress, visit their web site at www.p4p. org. For information about the May 10th collection, call Bette Bass at 516.606.1400 or Kathy Williams-Ging at 631.549.4873. The program is also accepting cash donations from corporate and community sponsors.

Free Tree Campaign The Arbor Day Foundation is making it easy for everyone to celebrate the arrival of spring by planting trees. Join the Arbor Day Foundation in March 2015 and receive 10 free white flowering dogwood trees. “White flowering dogwoods will add beauty to your home throughout the year,” said Matt Harris, chief executive of the Arbor Day Foundation. “Dogwoods are known for their showy spring flowers,
scarlet autumn foliage and red berries that attract songbirds during winter.” The free trees are part of the nonprofit Foundation’s Trees for America campaign. The trees will be shipped postpaid with enclosed planting instructions at the right time for planting between March 1st and May 31st. The 6 to 12-inch trees are guaranteed to grow, or they will be replaced free of charge. Arbor Day Foundation members also receive a
subscription to Arbor Day, the Foundation’s bimonthly publication, and The Tree Book, which contains information about tree planting and care. To become a member of the Foundation and receive the free trees, send a $10 contribution to Ten Free Dogwood Trees, Arbor Day Foundation, 100 Arbor Avenue, Nebraska City, NE 68410, by March 30th, or join online at arborday.org/ march.
