A better environment for learning. The Catholic school difference is founded on a simple truth: students know that God loves and accepts them for who they really are. Uniforms help them avoid many of the surface-level distractions of social status and peer pressure, and children learn that their value is not based on how others see them, but on God’s always faithful love for them.

Winter Classic Set Oyster Bay Town Supervisor Joseph Saladino and Town Councilman Anthony D. Macagnone announced today that the Town will once again welcome the LI Blues, as well as two other hockey teams, to the Town of Oyster Bay Ice Skating Center in Bethpage for the 8th Annual Town of Oyster Bay Long Island Blues Winter Classic slated for Saturday, January 27th. This special event showcases hockey players with special needs enjoying a game they love. Residents are welcome to attend and admission is FREE. Faceoff for the first of four games is at 3:30 p.m. The fourth and final game is expected to conclude at approximately 7:30 p.m. “The LI Blues is an inspiring hockey program in which children and young adults with developmental disabilities play ice hockey in an accommodating setting,” said Supervisor Saladino. “It brings all the fun of playing ice hockey to athletes with special needs. Two other teams, the Storm from Connecticut and the New Jersey Dare Devils will be participating and we welcome them. We invite residents to attend to this friendly competition to cheer on the players and recognize their commitment and dedication to the sport.” “The LI Blues organization is pleased to again partner with the Town of Oyster Bay to present the LI Blues Winter Classic,” Michael Russo of LI Blues Special Hockey said. “We are very proud of our program which adapts the game of hockey to make it fun for players with special needs. The LI Blues Winter Classic is an outstanding piece of that program and we are thrilled to have it at the state-of-the-art Town of Oyster Bay Ice Skating Center.” Councilman Macagnone stated, “The LI Blues Winter Classic is a wonderful competition

January Charity of the Month:
LIGHTHOUSE MISSION!
“Providing Hope Beyond The Food” … this is a phrase often used at Lighthouse Mission, a mobile food pantry on Long Island. This non-profit reaches 2,000 people per week with the mission to share the Gospel of Jesus and feed the poor. Pastor Jim Ryan is the President of this inspiring ministry, and the story of his journey to become so is so inspiring that it left me speechless. After meeting with him and touring their quite busy facility, located at 1543 Montauk Highway in Bellport, I was extremely moved by all that I learned about and saw. Lighthouse Mission is a registered nonprofit that operates 100% on donations, receiving no government help. Their Food Outreach operates weekly on Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays (visit their website at www. LighthouseMission.com for a full Food Outreach Schedule). Instead of operating this outreach from a single location, Lighthouse Mission chose to go mobile and travel to different locations where those in need could line up to receive plenty of nutritional food, gently used clothing and hear the word of God from one of the pastors working the event. Pastor Jim Ryan
mentioned to me that they were inspired to operate this outreach in a mobile matter because the Gospel tells us that, when going to help others, Jesus traveled to them instead of having them to come to Him. Lighthouse Mission also has a Youth Outreach that operates on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Saturdays. Every Tuesday, they open their facility to high school students and offer them food, entertainment and time to socialize in a Christian setting. Every Wednesday, they do the same for middle school students; and on the first and third Saturday of each month, they offer this for students K-5. All of these events are free of charge and open to everyone. If you are interested in becoming involved with this organization, there are plenty of ways to do so. They gladly accept clothing and food donations and currently are in need of winter coats. As far as volunteering, they accept walk-on volunteers at all of their Food Outreach events. If you are interested in coming with a group to a Food Outreach event or are interested in volunteering at a Youth Outreach Event, please call their office at 631.758.7584 first for more information.

Five Cents, Please Seen at the local supermarket last week: a gentleman piling each one of his items into his cart, refusing to pay the 5¢ plastic bag fee that was recently passed in Suffolk County. “Nope,” he shook his head vigorously. “I’ll throw it all in my backseat and carry every single item into my house by hand if I have to.” The checkout clerk, somewhat perplexed, acquiesced. “Alright,” she replied politely. “Whatever you’d prefer - that’s why we ask if you’d like a bag.” As he rolled his overflowing shopping cart away, fellow clerks exchanged raised eyebrows and shrugged. “It’s one thing when they have a handful of items, but $300 worth of food and perishables?” She seemed incredulous. “That’s really standing on principle.”
The clerk went on to list the bizarre scenarios she had witnessed over these last several weeks - from people juggling glass bottles (an attempt which, needless to say, didn’t end so well) to the woman who insisted on cradling about 5 pounds of meat in her arms. All to save a nickel. I have to admit, I was only vaguely aware that this proposed law was set to take effect until I found myself running into the store for some last minute New Year’s Eve snacks. Only then did I see the signs warning of the impending surcharge posted at each register, plastered on every entrance and exit, along with racks of “reusable” plastic bags for sale at each counter. I did some quick math: so, if I buy an allegedly sturdier bag for 10¢ - assuming I get more than two uses out of it, I’ll be

ahead of the game. I considered further the fact that, nearly every time I am in any sort of store but especially those of the supermarket variety - I am repeatedly amazed at the lack of, shall we say, bagging skills employed by most clerks. I invariably wind up with either 27 bags with one or two items in each, or the equally daunting 20 pound bag filled to the brim and unlikely to make it to the car without breaking, let alone up a flight of stairs into my apartment. I’ll bag my own, thanks, I always request. And now, if I’m going to pay for them, you can be sure I’ll be taking matters into my own hands. Preferably without an armful of glass bottles and pork chops to contend with as well. Just when food shopping was beginning to become routine…

How To Stop 40% Of Your Heat Loss And Save Up To 20% On Your Energy Bills Year Round Almost 40% of a home’s heat loss occurs through the attic. Improperly vented and drastically under-insulated attic space causes heating bills to skyrocket and air conditioning bills to double in the summer. The solution to this alltoo-common problem is fixed easier than most people think. Using a revolutionary product from Owens Corning to insulate your attic can be done in one day for as little as $1,499. That price includes the material and the labor to install the product. This new fiberglass insulation is blown into the attic space with an exclusive process called the Atticat System. The material is non-itch and closely resembles pink cotton balls, since it has no formaldehyde binders like other insulation products. The Atticat insulation has no chemical additives, so not only is it itch-free, but causes no damage to wires or vents inside the home’s attic spaces. The material is also mold-free, non-combustible and doesn’t settle after it’s blown in. Being a Platinum dealer for Owens Corning on Long

Proudly Serving The Community Since 1953!
Smiti Shah, a senior at Bethpage High School, has been recognized as a Regeneron Science Talent Search 2018 Scholar. The prestigious honor is also a landmark for the school, as Shah is the first Bethpage student to achieve this recognition since the inception of the school’s science research program in 2011. According to its website, the Regeneron STS (formerly the Intel STS) is a program of the Society for Science and the Public that recognizes and empowers the most promising young scientists in the U.S. who are creating the ideas and solutions
to solve the most urgent challenges. This program is considered to be the nation’s oldest and most prestigious pre-college science competition for high school students. An overwhelmed Shah expressed her gratitude for the honor. “I’m really fortune to have been named a Scholar,” she said. “It feels so good to be rewarded for all of my effort and hard work – it’s unbelievable, really.” Shah was introduced to the program in the eighth grade at the Long Island Science and Engineering Fair, where science research teacher Chris
Pollatos encouraged her to enter the competition. “While at [LISEF] in eighth grade, Mr. Pollatos told me, ‘2018 Intel or bust,’” recalled Shah. “When I entered Mr. Pollatos’ class as a freshman, he gave me an Intel STS sticker that I placed on my desk…I looked at it for four years determined to become a Scholar in the program.” Shah’s winning research took root in summer 2016, when she interned at a Hofstra University laboratory under the mentorship of Dr. Roche de Guzman. She focused her research on creating an environmentally friendly

filter for third-world countries that uses solar energy to generate clean water. With perseverance and continuous support from Pollatos and de Guzman, Shah submitted her project, “Efficient Nano-Based Water Filter: A Novel Application of Biosynthesized Silver Nanoparticles (AgNP) and Carbon Nanotube (CNT) Ink with Applied Electrical Current.” Each of the 300 Scholars received a $2,000 award from Regeneron with a matching donation to his or her school. A total of $1.2 million in Scholar awards is granted to inspire more young people to engage in science. Forty of these Scholars will be announced as finalists on Jan. 23, and the finalists will be invited to Washington, D.C., in March to participate in final judging, have their work on public display, meet with notable scientists and compete for awards, including the top prize of $250,000. “Being the first person in Bethpage School District history to receive this honor is mindblowing, let alone being selected out of more than 1,800 students nationally,” remarked Pollatos. “Smiti has always been determined and proactive, and that’s why she became an STS Scholar. She saw something, went for it and made things happen, which undoubtedly put her over the top.” Shah’s passion for science goes beyond research. As captain of her school’s robotics team, the Regal Eagles, she devotes countless hours before and after school and on the weekends to preparing for the upcoming competition season with her team. Last year, Shah led the Regal Eagles to their first appearance at the national-level FIRST Robotics Competition in more than 10 years. She is also a member of her school’s Spanish and
National honor societies, Mathletes and Astronomy Club, and participates in math competitions. Outside of school, Shah has interned at the New York Academy of Sciences and currently oversees more than 700 international students as president of its Junior Academy. While interning, she was invited to the Gates 2016 Annual Letter event, where she spoke with Bill Gates and Melinda Gates and award-winning author John Green. In addition, Shah was recently invited to speak at the World Summit on Innovation and Entrepreneurship to Fortune 500 leaders in the field of artificial intelligence and machine learning about the generational divide between conversations regarding humans and machines. Along with these exceptional achievements,
Shah was named an AP Scholar with Distinction by the College Board and a Commended Student in the 63rd annual National Merit Scholarship Program. As for her postsecondary plans, Shah wants to major in some form of engineering and management. “The entire district is proud of Smiti and her accomplishments,” said Bethpage Superintendent of Schools Terrence Clark. “Her passion for science is remarkable, but even more telling is how she focuses her research on ways to improve the lives of others. Her winning research is designed to ensure that people in developing nations have access to clean drinking water, which has to be one of the most important global issues of our time.” Photo courtesy of: Bethpage Union Free School District

Scholar of Science The Plainview-Old Bethpage School District’s John F. Kennedy High recently celebrated the accomplishments of senior Daniel Vieira, who was named a Scholar in the 2018 Regeneron Science Talent Search. Daniel was one of 300 students selected for the award out of more than 1,800 entrants from across the nation. Along with being recognized by the prestigious organization, Daniel also received a $2,000 award for his research project. “We are incredibly proud of Daniel for the hours of
work and effort he has put into his studies in the last four years at Plainview-Old Bethpage,” said Dr. Lorna R. Lewis, Superintendent of Schools. “He has been a leader inside and out of the classroom, and this award is just another stepping stone in his professional and personal development.” Vieira’s project was entitled A Novel Study on Social Comparison Processes and the Pratfall Effect in the Human-Robot Interaction (HRI) Domain. It focused on the social constructs associated with our growing exposure to
machines. He will be in the running to become one of the 40 finalists chosen to compete in Washington, D.C. on January 23 for a top prize of up to $250,000. The Regeneron Science Talent Search is one of the nation’s oldest and most prestigious science and math competitions for high school seniors. Regeneron is a company founded with the goal of transforming lives through science with the social commitment to supporting the development of innovative young thinkers.
Striking for Celiac The Plainview-Old Bethpage Central School District’s (POCSD) JFK High School recently hosted a “Strike for Celiac” bowling fundraiser for students and families. The event was held as part of the school’s Celiac Awareness Week, an event aimed at raising awareness for the disease. The school raised more than $5,000 to

Serious wedding style for short-haired brides Women with short hair may lament that they do not have many options when styling their hair for their wedding days. Some may even consider growing out their locks. However, plenty of creative styles exist for ladies without long locks.
Color, embellishments, retro styles and clever up-dos can set short bridal hairstyles apart.
Experiment with color
O
Retro glamour
Brides may want to harken back to an era when glamour reigned supreme. Replicate one of the short styles of the 1940s or 1950s, paying homage to Audrey Hepburn, Marilyn Monroe, Lauren Bacall or Judy Garland.
Braids can add whimsy to shoulder-length or shorter hair. In addition, braids can anchor short locks when an up-do is desired. Braids can be placed into the front or rear crown of the head to look like a hair halo or crown.
Use embellishments
If short hair cannot be gathered into a braid or bun, you can opt for adorned pins, barrettes or headbands to add a touch of sparkle to the look. Ask a stylist to tease the crown of your hair to achieve a little more height and impact.
Half-up style
Many women with short hair find that using bobby pins to pin up select areas of their hair can help achieve a partial up-do look without the need for longer locks. Experienced stylists will know how to manipulate hair effectively to create this look. Small tendrils of hair can be left free and curled for a less structured, more natural effect. Brides-to-be with short hair do not need to fret nor make drastic changes to their hairstyles to look beautiful on their wedding days. Short hair can be manipulated into many camera-ready creations.

n a day when all eyes and cameras will be trained on them, it’s natural for brides and grooms tying the knot to want to look their best. As a result, many couples invest a portion of their budgets into spa and beauty treatments, with many even hiring salon stylists to ensure their weddingday looks are flawless.
One way to “tress to impress” is to experiment with some color. Well-placed highlights, balayage treatments, ombre or peek-a-boo underlights can add an extra spark to a bride’s normal hairstyle. Speak with a qualified stylist about what you plan to achieve with a wedding-day look, so color can be applied correctly.

How couples can benefit from hiring local wedding vendors
L
ocal vendors are often a go-to choice when couples are planning their wedding ceremonies and receptions. As the “shop local” movement grows in popularity, weddings present a prime opportunity to embrace this movement.
Couples may have different ideas regarding where to tie the knot, but local vendors can be hired regardless of geography. Brides magazine says the biggest factor influencing wedding location is the size of the guest list and the number of people who wouldn’t be able to attend if the wedding was in a particular locale. Hometowns might be the traditional choice regarding wedding location, but the XO Group says one in four couples now host destination weddings. Once couples choose a town or city to host their weddings, they can begin exploring the benefits of working with locally-based vendors.
Familiarity
NASSAU ZONE 2 - NEIGHBOR NEWSPAPERS - WEDNESDAY JANUARY 24, 2018 • www.southbaysneighbor.com
Local vendors will be familiar with the area and possibly even the location where
the wedding will be held. That can help couples avoid having to give directions, discuss venue protocols and handle other tasks that must be worked out with non-local vendors. For example, local photographers familiar with a particular venue will know all of the best places to get shots, and some vendors may have preexisting relationships with venue representatives that could ensure wedding day operations go smoothly.
Local vendors have intimate knowledge of the areas they serve, and that can make for a more personalized, eco-friendly wedding.
Proximity
Local vendors can meet with brides and grooms more readily throughout the planning process, making things less stressful on the happy couple. This also makes it easier to drop off deposits, attend meetings, make fitting appointments or attend styling sessions.
Savings
Couples who travel for their weddings and employ local vendors will not have to pack as much. Using local vendors eliminates the need to bring along bulky dresses,
decorative items, flowers and much more. Plus, couples needn’t pay to transport any house vendors brought along from back home.
Environment
Individuals who take great strides to conserve resources by reducing their energy consumption and protecting the environment often find that shopping local
is beneficial. Local vendors are more likely to source their materials from other local businesses, reducing their carbon footprints along the way. For example, local caterers may rely on local farmers for their foods, affording couples the chance to host eco-friendly or even farm-to-table weddings.
Customization
Working with local vendors often translates into getting more personalized service and attention than mass retailers or merchants can provide. Going local when choosing wedding vendors is an increasingly popular choice among couples about to tie the knot.

Wedding transportation trends
How about something new and blue for the two of you!
C
ouples planning their weddings routinely rely on professional transportation to bring them to and from the ceremony and reception. According to The Knot Real Weddings Study 2016, roughly half of all engaged couples will hire a transportation service such as a limousine or party bus for their weddings.
Shuttles and buses: Investing in the guest experience means couples are seeking ways to provide comfort and convenience for their guests and wedding party members. Rather than asking guests to get themselves to and fro, couples may employ buses or shuttles stocked with amenities to transport a greater number of people. The Real Weddings Study indicates this type of transport has grown considerably more popular in the last six years. Exotic limousines: The chauffeur-driven limousine continues to be one of the most popular methods of transportation. However, to set their weddings apart, couples are trending away from traditional stretch limousines and renting something more trendy, such as limos built upon sports cars. SUV-based limos are still popular, with Hummers, Escalades and Navigators offering the wow factor. Vintage cars: For that A-list look right out of a classic movie, stepping out of a vintage vehicle creates red-carpet moments. Dream cars for this type of glamorous arrival and departure include
Rolls Royce, Bentley, Aston Martin and others. Many private companies rent classic vehicles. Couples also may contract with those who attend classic car shows. Water transport: Couples celebrating by the ocean, a lake or a river can make a grand entrance aboard a vessel. Water taxis, pontoon boats and even sleek speedboats may be the transportation of choice. The Knot says that couples spend around 6.5 months researching their wedding day transportation options and will make their decision and a reservation five months before their weddings. The more exotic the transportation option, the earlier couples should make their decisions to ensure they can book their first choice.

colors. Country and garden weddings can borrow ideas from the landscape, with natural linens paired with wildflowers. Using whites, grays and beiges enables couples to add a pop of color without overwhelming the setting. Brides magazine suggests that couples avoid choosing too many colors. A maximum of three with one metallic can ensure that things look cohesive without being over-the-top. Also, brides and grooms needn’t feel pressured by the “hot” colors of the moment. As with clothing and hairstyles, trends change. It is better to select colors that will stand the test of time and look good for years to come.
Color can be a critical component when establishing the ambiance for a wedding. Color can evoke certain moods and set the tone for the day. Some colors work better together than others, so while choosing a color scheme may seem like an easy undertaking, some couples may find it requires more careful consideration than they first imagined. According to the bridal guide, A Practical Wedding, wedding colors can give couples a starting-off point for all of the other details of their weddings. This ensures the wedding ultimately has a cohesive look. Colors need not necessarily match, but borrowing on similar hues can make it easier to plan wedding party wardrobes, flowers, table linens and much more.

Some brides may feel beholden to the color white on their wedding days, at least in regard to their gowns. Those who do often embrace the opportunity to showcase their personal styles and set the mood for their nuptials by embracing various colors throughout their ceremonies and receptions.
Colors can come from anywhere, but many couples try to coordinate their color schemes with the season in which the wedding takes place. In fact, couples who are finding it difficult to decide on a palette can look to seasonal colors for inspiration. For example, pastels and blooming flowers can set the scene for spring weddings, while jewel tones and rich reds and greens may be fitting for winter ceremonies. Some couples opt for more loosely defined color palettes, such as neutral and natural
Couples may have to incorporate colors already at their wedding venues into their style. Fortunately many reception sites are outfitted in neutral tones to enable customization. The wedding resource The Knot also says having a basic knowledge of the color wheel can help. Typically, colors that pair well together are those that are opposites on the color wheel. Also, colors that share proximity on the color wheel will have similar tones and play well together. Examples of opposite colors include purples and yellows, reds and greens, and oranges and blues. Couples should not be afraid to take some chances with their color palettes, especially if they want to make a bold and modern statement.

Affordable bachelor and bachelorette party ideas their bachelor/bachelorette parties, and cost-conscious bridal party members may be concerned about how expensive such parties can be. Pulling out all the stops can be exciting, but there’s no guarantee these types of parties will be more enjoyable than simpler soirées.
W
eddings can be expensive. Various sources estimate the average cost of weddings is anywhere from $26,000 to $31,000. Couples and their parents may bear the brunt of wedding expenses, but those who have accepted a role in the wedding party also can expect their share of expenses.
Taking steps to control costs can help cost-conscious couples and their friends. The following are some affordable ideas that can be fun for all involved: Bar or winery crawl: Partygoers typically want to enjoy a night out on the town, and traveling from one establishment to another can be a fun way to do just that. Everyone invited can set themselves apart with a signature item (hat, T-shirt or colored clothing) and make the rounds. Attend a group event: Group events include sporting events, concerts, theater shows or a night at a comedy club. Investigate discounted tickets for large groups. Belt out the tunes: Open mic nights at restaurants, bars and other establishments around town may make for a fun way for friends to share a few laughs together. Participants need not be professional singers to join in on the festivities.

NASSAU ZONE 2 - NEIGHBOR NEWSPAPERS - WEDNESDAY JANUARY 24, 2018 • www.southbaysneighbor.com
Traditionally, one of the more memorable aspects of wedding receptions is the food. Whether it was fun, tasty or something entirely new for guests, food tends to leave a lasting impression. The experts at Boho Weddings say that, more than ever before, couples are seeking menu ideas that reflect their personalities as a couple as they seek to make a statement at their events. Celebrating with delicious, unique foods can make receptions that much more amazing.
Bite-sized bursts
Tapas and a movement toward small bites has started to take hold at wedding receptions. Such a choice allows guests to try many different flavors without filling up too quickly. From sliders to mini grilled cheese to soup shots to bite-sized pizzas, many of these small bites feature flavors borrowed from familiar comfort foods — just presented on a miniature scale.
Comfort stations and bars
Couples who love comfort food can put it on display with a crostini station, a mashed potato bar, a chicken and waffles station, a gourmet popcorn snack station or a ramen noodle bar.
Food trucks/carts
Outdoor weddings can be enhanced with the addition of trendy food trucks. These
restaurants on wheels can inject burgers, sandwiches, international delights, crêpes, noodles and so many more flavors into a wedding.
High-end options
Couples may want to give guests a taste of the lavish with olive oil and vinegar tasting stations, whiskey bars, French hors d’oeuvres, Kobe beef sliders, lobster tails, risotto stations and more.
Childhood favorites
When it comes time for dessert, some couples opt to avoid or downplay wedding cakes in favor of something simpler. A cookie-and-milk bar, doughnut holes, soft pretzel stations, pie pops or dessert shot jars push creativity and sweetness to new levels. Do-it-yourself dessert stations, such as s’more-making and ice cream sundae stations, also can be big hits. Couples are increasingly feeling less beholden to traditional wedding reception menus as they look to infuse their personal tastes into the foods they plan to serve their guests. Many catering managers and chefs welcome the chance to work with couples looking to create unique reception menus.

Students in grades 10-12 at W.T. Clarke High School in the East Meadow School District recently explored a vast range of careers during the school’s first Career Day. The event, coordinated in part by Beth Bucheister, executive director of Career Day Inc., provided students with a venue to meet and learn from 58 professionals representing a variety of fields, including carpentry, real estate, medicine, fashion, marketing, computer science and engineering. Among the professionals were Clarke High School alumni, who explained how their high school experiences had impacted their future. “Career Day connects students with business leaders to give them an inside look at major industries and to better
understand what it takes to get to where these professionals are,” said Clarke business teacher Joe Pavia. “It’s an excellent opportunity for students to explore different career pathways.” Kicking off the day, students attended the “Empowering 21st Century Students: Where Am I Going?” assembly led by Randy Shain, founder of One on One Mentors; Michelle Kyriakides, executive director of the Hofstra University Career Center; and Bucheister, who inspired students to identify their “VIPS” – values, interests, personality and skills – when determining which career path to take. Following the assembly, students attended two breakout sessions with presenters based on
their career interests. During these sessions, industry leaders discussed their everyday tasks and experiences, shared their educational backgrounds and answered students’ questions. “What I would like students to gain from this experience is an understanding of how much opportunity there is to find and work toward a career that is meaningful to them,” said Bucheister. W.T. Clarke High School would like to thank the board of education, central administration, the school’s Career Day Committee, the PTSA, the East Meadow Chamber of Commerce and the participating local businesses for making its first Career Day a huge success.
