Roots of Literacy two-week Pick a Reading Partner program, which ran from March 5th-16th. Sponsored by the PTA, McVey’s PARP program invited students to delve into the world of literature and engage in reading activities inspired by this year’s theme, “The Giving Tree.” Among those who read to the students in grades K-6 were Assemblyman

Tom McKevitt, Hempstead Town Clerk Sylvia Cabana, East Meadow Board of Education President Scott Eckers, district administrators and other influential community members.

Being Green The excellent sewing and design skills of Woodland Middle School seventh-grade students Briana Deakoum and Mina Papadadtonakis resulted in the eco-conscious duo’s election as grand prizewinners in the middle school “It’s Not Easy Being Green” division of the Long Island Family and Consumer Sciences Challenge 2018. The East Meadow family and consumer sciences students created

a multiuse bag made out of a sweatshirt, and decorated with an LOL expression with lights. The students received a $100 prize to share. The purpose of the challenge is to engage students from Suffolk and Nassau counties in real-life situations. There were six areas of the competition: Sew to Serve, Masters of Invention, Trashy Fashion, It’s Not Easy Being Green, Snack Attack, Let Them Eat Cake and Teacher Checklist

Form. In applying for the competition, Briana and Mina had to pitch their creation in writing and follow up with concise directions for making the multiuse bag. Teacher Sue Carlsen congratulated the students on their innovative design. “It is great to see students like Briana and Mina taking the initiative to compete in the challenge, use the skills learned in family and consumer sciences class, and be creative.”

Problem Solving / Decision Making Many articles, books and seminars have covered this subject. In addition, some local schools offer courses like this as part of their adult education series. This still leaves a large majority of folks who have never been exposed to this topic, who would benefit highly from it. If you are one them, and would like to have a simple, easy-to-use method to solve problems, please read on... In this world of fast-paced living, with all of its daily turbulence, we are faced with a dizzying array of problems and challenges that need to be addressed in a short period of time. To name a few: • A host of money problems, including how much you spend within your budget and what adjustments might need to be made. • What to buy for a really good friend, but one with very expensive taste. • Whether now is a good time to make a major purchase, such as a house or even a new car. The following is a step-by-step procedure on how to solve problems and improve your decision making process. Before proceeding, I must caution you to leave your emotions behind (not an easy

task when faced with certain decisions that are near and dear to your heart). Let’s begin with each step in the sequence: Identify the problem. We need a new roof, but are not sure how to proceed. Should we buy now or wait? List possible decision factors. How long will the current one last? What will a new roof cost? Which models are now on sale? Check warranties on each. What store should we buy it in? Check any special credit terms. Develop alternative solutions. The current roof is beginning to have small leaks developing. There are several models on sale now in a wide price range. A blackcolored roof is always the least expensive, but several other colors are very nice and cost approximately 15% more. We have checked out several appliance stores and, while prices vary slightly among them, if possible, we would like to stay with the appliance store we have dealt with previously. All of the models have a oneyear warranty on parts and labor. The store we have always dealt with has offered a special credit deal with no interest due for the first 18 months. The other store (our second choice) has already stated that, if

we buy from him, we would probably “get a better deal.” Narrow your options. Clearly, additional follow-up was needed. We went back to the first dealer, who gave us a 10% discount on the roof tiles and offered us the colored roof tiles at no additional cost. The only problem was that he could not install the roofing for another three weeks. We went back to our second choice dealer, who could install in two days but made no further concessions. A decision was clearly needed. Finding the right solution. We ended up selecting the first dealer. Although he could not install our roofing tiles for three weeks, he was going to give us an additional cash discount and a special credit deal. This, plus the fact that we had dealt with him before, closed the sale. The second dealer’s offer was tempting, especially the two-day delivery, but we did not take it. As you have seen, having an organized flow of guidelines to follow when making decisions is crucial to saving time and effort. Best of luck when employing your newly found Problem Solving & Decision Making skills!

Of Weddings & Wandering Just last weekend, I was able to satisfy my urge for a little springtime strolling in the city when the opportunity arose to accompany a friend from college to several New York Bridal Fashion Week runway shows. While I was initially far more interested in the aimless wandering aspect of the day, I have to admit I was pleasantly surprised by the experience of attending these avant-garde displays. Never having heard of the featured designers prior to seeing their latest collections in person, they proved to be quite impressive. Sure, I could have done without the crowns of flowers as accent, and I’m fairly certain I will not be accessorizing any future bridal gowns with high-top sneakers; but, quirks aside, some of the styles were quite stunning when viewed more as works of art rather than practical fashion. At the close of one of the shows, the audience was caught

off guard by an impromptu wedding proposal, orchestrated by the boyfriend of one of the featured models. As she stood aghast, he expressed his love and desire to spend the rest of his life with the woman before him, saying he could think of no more appropriate venue to pop the question than on a runway in the midst of bridal week. Judging by the standing ovation delivered by the crowd - among them, the family of the blushing bride-to-be - it seemed he couldn’t have picked a more opportune moment, one they will surely treasure forever. Bridal business aside, we managed to squeeze in some sightseeing on what happened to be one of the warmest days we have been graced with so far this season. From the Flatiron District over to the West Village, we traversed a solid six miles or so of the downtown area, taking in the nuances of each neighborhood and - of

course - finding time to snap some photos along the way. It was during an ill-fated “selfie” attempt in front of the Flatiron Building that a kind woman took pity on us and offered to take the photo, saying, “I know it’s probably taboo to walk up to random strangers and volunteer to take their picture, but you two seemed like you could use a little help.” Why yes, we could indeed. Score one for acts of kindness from fellow tourists. In all, it was a day short on the sort of haphazard adventure which has become the norm with most New York City day trips I have ventured on; actually, quite seamless. It’s funny, the tendency to almost miss the chaos when things go according to plan. I’ll have to remind myself of that irony the next time I’m traipsing 50 blocks out of the way to make a reservation at the third restaurant on the list, while carrying my shoes.

THINKING OF BUYING OR SELLING?


By: Joan Amato

Fog’s dense mist thick with dew Wraps me in its shroud of the unknown Blinded by cloudy vapors I struggle to find solace Solid grounding corrupts my spirit But keeps me in its shadows That fly by like ghostly remnants of sadness I want to forget, but I can’t Light slowly seeps into my cloudy view As I stumble through to find my way Out of confusion, discouragement While holding on to these pale renderings With light so thin I chase after its glow I want to covet its brightness Bring resignation to my soul Shake the dew from my brow And walk Into the sunshine Into the rain Into life again . . . Fog is slowly lifting Rendering my spirit free Like you are; You closed your eyes Went to sleep And crossed over into heaven.

The Dolphin Awesome as he moved around Within this sacred space Holding hands and fearsome bound Salt water left its taste Responding to a slapping sound And stepping up the pace He leaped above, rose unbound Airborne in freedom’s face Crashing down and coming round Then fade without a trace When back he comes, in play rebound To welcome our embrace In tears of laughter, falling down He’s given up the race Holding on, with fear replaced Sweet Nature comes as grace

April Charity of the Month:

Friends of Karen

Friends of Karen is a nonprofit organization that supports critically-ill children and their families. This year, they are celebrating their 40th anniversary; four decades of bringing help, hope and support to over 15,000 children and their families in the tri-state area. In 1978, Friends of Karen began with one family, one child, Karen MacInnes; and one inspired woman, Sheila Petersen, who wanted to sustain her close friends through the devastating illness of their daughter. Today, Friends of Karen serves hundreds of families by providing emotional, financial and advocacy support to children with life-threatening illnesses, and to their families in order to help keep them stable, functioning and able to cope, at no cost. To apply for help, a parent or guardian of the ill child must call the organization and speak to a member of their Family Support Team. Friends of Karen often hosts or participates in many events within their community. On Saturday, May 5th and Sunday, May 6th, they are hosting a team in the Long Island Marathon at Eisenhower Park in East Meadow. Saturday will be a 5K and Sunday will be a 10K. They are looking for people to join their Friends of Karen team and to cross the finish line knowing they’re making a

difference in the lives of many. If you are interested in participating in either or both of these races with colleagues, as a family or individually, you can sign up today! Additionally, if you are interested in volunteering your time preparing for the event - handing out t-shirts, making sure every participant has what he or she needs, etc.; or at the event - taking photos for promotional purposes, you can do so. Please visit their website at www.FriendsOfKaren.org for additional information. Are you someone who prefers to donate? If yes, you can do so by donating a gift card today. Many families struggle to find the money for everyday essentials such as food when they are also responsible for paying such large medical bills; therefore, food store and restaurant gift cards are much appreciated so Friends of Karen can pass them along to a family in need. Lastly, if you would like to get involved with Friends of Karen through another avenue that is not listed, such as volunteering in their office or in a specific way that is dear to you, they would like to know! Please contact their Development Associate, Rebecca Mowl, at RMowl@ FriendsOfKaren.org for more information.

Excellence Award The East Meadow School District is pleased to announce that it has earned the Association of School Business Officials International Certificate of Excellence in Financial Reporting. It is the 14th consecutive year that the district has received this prestigious award, which recognizes excellence in the preparation and issuance of financial data. According to ASBO International, the district provided a high-quality Comprehensive Annual

Financial Report for the fiscal year that met or exceeded the organization’s Certificate of Excellence standards, pertaining to the fiscal year ending June 2017. The Certificate of Excellence in Financial Reporting Program was designed by ASBO International to encourage school districts to achieve a high standard of financial reporting. The award, the highest recognition for school district financial operations offered by

ASBO International, is only conferred to school systems that have met or exceeded the standards of the program. “We are deeply honored to have received this prestigious honor, which is a testament to our business office’s hard work and our district’s commitment to providing full disclosure and transparency in the area of finances,” said Superintendent of Schools Dr. Kenneth Card.

Good Deeds Sydney Inger, a senior at East Meadow High School, is a recipient of the 2018 Good Deed Awards for Long Island Teenagers demonstrating significant achievement, excellence, effectiveness and creativity, and serving as a positive and inspiring role model to her peers and the community. The National Committee for Furtherance of Jewish Education of Nassau County sponsors the award, and Sydney will be honored on May 10 during an awards ceremony at Congregation Beth Sholom Chabad in Mineola. Sydney is in the top 5 percent of her class with a weighted grade point average of 103. In addition to taking honors, Advanced Placement and college-level courses, she is a member of seven honor societies. She also contributed to the varsity softball team’s clinching of the New York

State championship this past year. As president of Students Against Destructive Decisions, she has contributed to the growth of the club through a comprehensive peer-topeer education program, focusing on helping teenagers make positive decisions. Sydney is also a Peer Mentor, offering advice and support and serving as a role model for younger students, as well as one of the school’s 35 Peer Leaders. She also serves as Yearbook Committee photographer, and as a junior, was recognized as an East Meadow Champion; a student recognition program designed to highlight students who consistently make positive contributions to the school community. In her spare time, Sydney participates in the Plainedge Challenger Program, which assists physically disabled

students in playing sports. She also volunteers with the Long Island Harvest Food Pantry, an organization close to her heart. “Most people don’t know that there are residents in the community who go to bed hungry every day,” she said. Sydney will attend James Madison University in Virginia this fall and plans on studying graphic design. Guidance counselor Joanna Silberman described Sydney as a student who has confidence and self-assurance, and is mature beyond her years. “Sydney is someone you can trust and rely on,” she said. “She strives for perfection in everything she does, but with humility and confidence.” The East Meadow School District congratulates Sydney on this outstanding accomplishment.

Cheer Team Honored

The cheer competition season may be over, but accolades continued for members of the Wantagh High School cheerleading team, who received citations from the Town of Hempstead during the April 12th meeting of the board of education. During the meeting

Director of Health, Physical Education and Athletics Jennifer Keane announced the names of each cheerleader who contributed to the team’s third win of the Nassau County championship. The team also placed second in the New York State Cheerleading

Championship, held in Syracuse this past March. Most impressive, however, was the team’s ranking as 11th in the nation during the Universal Cheerleaders Association competition, held at Disney World in Florida this past February.

Why buy life insurance? dependent care. Beyond end-of-life bills and care, life insurance can offer other advantages, say the experts at Allstate Insurance Company. Life insurance can provide a family with a financial safety net. When a beneficiary is named, life insurance can serve as an inheritance for that person or people. Heirs may face estate taxes after a loved one dies, and life insurance benefits may help offset all or a portion of the costs.

F

acing one’s mortality and the prospect of leaving family members behind is not always easy. Death, financial security and planning for the future are all difficult subjects, but planning ahead can make matters much easier in the long run.

Business owners also can use life insurance policies to their advantage. Including life insurance with the list of other benefits offered to prospective employees can entice top-notch candidates. Sole proprietors may use life insurance as a business continuation plan so that insurance proceeds can keep the business in the black until it is sold or a replacement owner is found.

There may be benefits to life insurance while a person is living as well. The life insurance information site Term Life 2 Go says that, depending on the policy, life insurance can be borrowed against to pay off debt, buy a house or live off of dividends from the life insurance investment. This can provide a source of supplemental retirement income.

Shopping for life insurance requires careful research and an understanding of the products available. Consumers should have a thorough understanding of term and whole life policies, what premiums will cost, what the death benefit will pay, and if there are any living benefits. For example, living benefits may cover some costs for chronically or terminally ill people.

Gateway Financial advisors say that many life insurance plans are extremely flexible and can be modified as needs change.

Working with an experienced life insurance advisor can help people navigate the types of policies available to them.

Although there is no definitive way to prevent dementia, living a long, vibrant life may be possible by encouraging some healthy habits for the brain. It is never too late or too early to begin health and lifestyle changes.

Exercise

Becoming more active can improve brain volume, reduce risk for dementia and improve thinking and memory skills. The journal Neurology found that older people who vigorously exercise performed better on cognitive tests than others of the same age, placing them at the equivalent of 10 years younger. Increased blood flow that occurs with physical activity may help generate new neurons in the hippocampus, an area of the brain involved with learning and memory. The Harvard Medical School says aerobic exercise may help improve brain tissue by improving blood flow and reducing the chances of injury to the brain from cholesterol buildup in blood vessels.

Quit Smoking

The Alzheimer’s Association indicates that evidence shows smoking increases the risk of cognitive decline. Smoking can impair blood flow to the brain and cause small strokes that may damage blood vessels.

Eat Healthy Foods 342256N0425

NASSAU ZONE 1 - NEIGHBOR NEWSPAPERS - WEDNESDAY APRIL 25, 2018 • www.southbaysneighbor.com

ognitive decline is a condition that is often associated with aging, but even middle-aged people can experience memory loss or cognition issues.

Foods that are good for the heart and blood vessels also are good for the brain. These include fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains, fish-based proteins, unsaturated fats and foods containing omega-3 fatty acids. Neurologists state that, while research on diet and cognitive function is limited, diets, such as Mediterranean and MediterraneanDASH (Dietary Approaches to Stop

Seniors can include healthy lifestyle habits, such as exercise and balanced diets, to reduce the risk of dementia and other neurological issues. Hypertension), may contribute to a lower risk of cognitive issues.

Consume Caffeine

Caffeine may help boost memory performance and brain health. A Journal of Nutrition study found people ages 70 and older who consumed more caffeine scored better on tests of mental function than those who consumed less caffeine. Caffeine may help improve attention span, cognitive function and feelings of well-being. Information from Psychology Today also indicates caffeine may help in the storage of dopamine, which can reduce feelings of depression and anxiety. In addition, compounds in cocoa and coffee beans may improve vascular health and help repair cellular damage due to high antioxidant levels.

Work The Brain

Engaging in mentally stimulating activities can create new brain connections and more backup circuits, states Dr. Joel Salinas, a neurologist at Harvard-affiliated Massachusetts General Hospital. Working the brain through puzzles, reading and participating in social situations can stimulate the release of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), a molecule essential for repairing brain cells and creating connections between them. A good way to combine these lifestyle factors is to take an exercise class with friends, mixing the social, stimulation and exercise recommendations together. Cognitive decline can come with aging, but through healthy habits, people can reduce their risk of memory loss and dementia.

Nights of Honor More than 200 high school students throughout the Levittown Public Schools gathered with administrators, staff and family members for Division Avenue High School and MacArthur High School’s annual Night of Honor. Division Avenue held its ceremony on April 11th, while MacArthur held its ceremony on April 12th. Students were inducted into various honor societies, with some being sworn into more than one organization. Under the leadership of honor society advisers and student representatives on the stage, students were sworn into their designated honor society. Division Avenue High School inducted six students into the International Thespian Society, nine into the Math Honor Society, 23 into the

Tri-M Music Honor Society, 24 into the Business Honor Society, 32 into the Art Honor Society and 37 into the World Language Honor Society. Principal John Coscia commended the new inductees for their hard work and commitment. “I want to thank you for the dedication that makes you the leaders at Division Avenue High School,” said Coscia. “You provide us with a culture of the fine arts, the spirit of competition and the incredible academic achievement of a high quality high school here in New York State.” At MacArthur High School, 25 students were inducted into the Math Honor Society, 29 were inducted into the Art Honor Society, 31 were inducted into the Business

Honor Society and 56 were inducted into the World Language Honor Society. “This is a tremendous achievement, being able to have such high academia in four different subject areas,” said Assistant Principal Anne Rao. “We have 112 students inducted this evening but it’s really quite more than that because you saw the kids popping up more than once for being inducted into more than one honor society. That shows that their effort, determination and work ethic is recognized and valued.” At the conclusion of both ceremonies, the new inductees and their families were welcomed to a reception where refreshments were served.

Shining a Light To celebrate National Library Week and School Library Month, students at Newbridge Road Elementary School in the North Bellmore School District celebrated reading with some fun and unique activities.

Librarian Laura Stasi said the goal was to highlight the value of libraries, books and readings. Students decorated color craze bookmarks to take home with sayings such as “dream” and “think.” There was lights out in the

library, in which students could find a corner or sit under a table and read by flashlight with their favorite stuffed animal. During library bingo, children reviewed their library vocabulary and won prizes.

History Comes Alive Students in East Meadow High School’s Civil War class, as well as members of the school’s Rho Kappa National Social Studies Honor Society and Model Congress, received a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to attend a three-day American History Tour, in March, that included visits to New York City, Philadelphia and Gettysburg. During the tour, the 24 students

visited Lower Manhattan’s Freedom Tower and National September 11 Memorial & Museum, as well as Philadelphia’s Liberty Bell and Independence Hall. They also went on a ghost tour and battlefield tours in Gettysburg. Sheena Rachel Jacobs, social studies chairperson at the high school, said the purpose of the trip was to bring history alive for

students and help them better understand the nation’s founding fathers. “[The students] came to understand the founding fathers’ trials and tribulations, their willingness to learn and persevere, and how they held steadfast to civic duty,” Jacobs explained. “They now realize how America became the successful democratic nation it is, due to our founding fathers.”

Hitting High Notes When it comes to March Madness in the Bellmore-Merrick Central High School District, they are not talking about basketball — it’s musical time! Five schools mounted major Broadway style productions and even the snow couldn’t stop the community from packing the auditoriums for these evenings of pure entertainment. The season kicked off with the middle school productions, March 15th16th: “The Addams Family Musical” at Grand Avenue Middle School and “Bye, Bye Birdie” at Merrick Avenue Middle School. The following week, the high school students took to the stage on March 23rd-24th, featuring productions of the timeless classic, “Fiddler on the Roof” at John F. Kennedy High

School; Andrew Lloyd Webber’s hit “Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat” at Sanford H. Calhoun High School; and “In the Heights” at Wellington C. Mepham High School, marking one of the first high schools on Long Island to produce this show. No matter the school or production, being a part of the drama program is a life altering experience. “When working on a musical, time tends to move differently, as if the show exists in a type of vacuum,” said Mepham High School Director Edward Grosskreuz. “For example, when rehearsing and coordinating all of the various elements (construction, prop creation, costumes, lighting, sound, publicity, tickets, etc.), it seems like a never-ending process. Yet

when the actual week of the production, tech week, arrives, the entire company finds itself moving at light-speed as it prepares to present its performance. When the production wraps, it seems as if time had passed so quickly, and the feeling of that long stretch leading up to show time seems like it never existed. It’s a surreal experience. From a director’s standpoint, it is so rewarding to see the company bonding through their positive interactions as well as their enthusiasm for the piece being developed for performance. When the company is in harmony with the work, magic happens. With this in place, the company’s energy radiates from the stage and electrifies the audience.”

Word on the Street

It was an evening of applause and admiration as more than 30 Wantagh Middle School students and faculty read original works and favorite literary pieces to peers and parents during the English Language Arts Department’s third

annual Word on the Street Literacy Celebration. Director of ELA & Reading Nicole Waldbauer described the evening as an opportunity to celebrate literacy and the spoken and written word. Some of the works read

were excerpts from Shel Silverstein’s “Don’t Tell Me,” John Donne’s “Death Be Not Proud” and lyrics from Cyndi Lauper’s song HITTING HIGH NOTES - The Skull and Bones Drama Club at Mepham High School “Time After Time.” Some put on a production of “In the Heights.” Photo courtesy of: Bellmore-Merrick Central of the original works High School District presented especially for the occasion included “If I” by Alyssa Ficco, “The Room is Spinning” by William Razeq and “The Meaning” by Heather Sheridan. ELA teacher Christine Hult, who read Taylor Mali’s entertaining “Like Lilly Like Wilson,” added that the goal of the event was to spread the love of words. “We study authors and the meaning of words, so Word on the Street helps the students to appreciate the meaning behind what they have read,” she said.

poses and deep breathing techniques that will assist them in keeping calm and centered throughout their lives. Ms. Coogan reminded the students that what mattered was their focus on the task at hand and their ability to breathe correctly. “Yoga gives the mind something to focus on and helps us stay

present,” she said. The students embraced the yoga techniques, including the cobra, cat, downward facing dog and extended side angle poses. Many of the participants had never practiced yoga before, but were enthusiastic about incorporating the exercise into their current health regimes.
