Of Snow & Spring & Savoring It All

Spring has arrived. Sort of. As I write this column, snow is accumulating at quite a pace, ushering in the start of the new season in much the same manner as the last one began. I suppose it’s fitting that Long Island should be blanketed by white once more before finally (hopefully) giving way to the first blossoms. It’s funny, no matter how many seasons we are fortunate to enjoy here in the northeast, there are always those detractors who seem dissatisfied with the variety of weather. The seasons are too long, too hot, too cold, whatever. Imagine if we all lived in an area of extreme

fluctuations, from 100º days to 8 feet of snow at a clip. I think I speak for everyone when I say, no thank you. Of the four seasons, I would have to say spring is my favorite. It’s the perfect combination of sun and flowers and that lovely light breeze that keeps everything just right. Summer is still right over the horizon, winter is firmly in the rearview mirror and nature is in full flourishing mode. What more could you ask for? Well, other than a few more feet of snow to play in – but I assume even the biggest fans of winter outdoor activities have probably had their fill by now. Plus, for those of us interested in the “spring cleaning” aspect of things, it’s

It’s amazing the cobwebs you find when you take a moment to stop and take inventory, mentally and otherwise. So, to all, enjoy the season. All of them. Each one is only three months long, just enough to savor the nuances without becoming too encumbered by the flaws. Sure, April will most likely bring the usual array of showers; but remember, May, in all its glory, is just around the corner. Everyone has a preference. Regardless, we should all make a point of enjoying each and every day.

ISLAND SPORTS PHYSICAL THERAPY

Continued From 3 fishing instruction, fly casting demonstrations and fish cleaning services. Additionally, a display area will be set up by state Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) and local fishing clubs. Participants are urged to try their hands at fly casting, as demonstrations will be on-going. Loaner rods and free bait will be available to participants throughout the day. As the supply of loaner rods is limited, participants are encouraged to bring their own fishing tackle if they have it. Children’s activities also begin at 10 a.m. and will include an inflatable slide (weather dependent), the “Spring Fling” casting contest, as well as handson educational displays by the DEC’s Education Unit. Children participating in the casting contest will have a chance to win some

The Mesopotamians have created many inventions that have influenced our lives today. Without the Mesopotamians, many of the things we use on a daily basis would not exist. One of the many inventions of the Mesopotamians was the creation of the wheel. The wheel was invented around 3500 B.C.E. The Sumerians used the wheels so that they could construct wheeled carts. By doing so, they were able to create extremely efficient ways of transporting goods. Clearly, the wheel plays a significant role in our society today. Without the wheel, cars, trains and even airplanes could not function. The wheel helped the Sumerians tremendously thousands of years ago, and it continues to help us today. Another major invention of the Mesopotamians was the creation of iron metallurgy. By 3000 B.C.E., the Mesopotamians attempted

to create iron. When they first started, the iron was too weak to be used for anything beneficial. However, this all changed when one group of people fixed the problem. The Hittites, a group of people who lived in modernday Turkey, created extremely durable iron weapons and tools. The iron they used quickly spread throughout the Middle East. Not only was iron durable, but it was also inexpensive. It is evident that iron has a tremendous influence on our society today. Iron can be found in fences and buildings. Additionally, the Mesopotamians are responsible for shipbuilding. Shipbuilding enabled them to have long-distance trade. The group of people in Mesopotamia who were responsible for shipbuilding was the Phoenicians. One place they went to for trading was Harappa, which is located by the Indus River, Egypt, Lebanon and Persia, which was

located in modern-day Iran, Arabia and Anatolia, which is located in modern-day Turkey. In our society, we clearly use ships to facilitate trade as well. Shipbuilding is still a very important part of our society today. One major invention of the Mesopotamians was alphabetic writing. The Phoenicians, by approximately 1500 B.C.E, created alphabetic writing. The Phoenician alphabet consisted of 22 consonants. Their system of writing was much more efficient than the earlier cuneiform writing because it was difficult to remember many different symbols. With the Phoenician alphabet, you could build words with letters, which made it much easier for the population to learn how to write. Many of the languages spoken today have Phoenician roots, including English.

Continued From 4 launches, hunting blinds, trails and parking areas. Under the initiative, the 2015-2016 Executive Budget proposes to establish an additional $8 million for state land access projects and an additional $4 million for the state’s hatcheries in NY Works funding. The Budget also proposes to create a new capital account which along with federal Pittman-Robertson funds will be used to manage, protect and restore fish and wildlife habitat, and to improve and develop public access for fish and wildlife-related

recreation. The Spring Fishing Festival has been designated a Free Fishing Event, so the freshwater fishing license requirement for anglers age 16 and older has been suspended for this event. The festival highlights DEC’s spring trout stocking program in Nassau and Suffolk counties conducted in March and April.

well as 17 other Long Island lakes will also be stocked with trout by DEC, providing excellent prospects for spring fishing in both Nassau and Suffolk counties. To further encourage fishing in New York State, Governor Cuomo signed legislation in 2012 expanding the opportunity for free fishing clinics, allowing more New Yorkers to experience fishing for the first time by enabling DEC to increase the number of free clinics that can be held throughout the state.

By: L. Carey, East Islip In my dreams, In my days I’d thought I thought of better Ways. But time is vast The ocean wide With so much silence From which to hide From. The waves crash down Upon the shore A little figure Falls before, The foaming of the ocean’s breath, To climb beneath the heaven’s depths And lay upon the hill top heath To ponder the clouds And her life lived Beneath. Then whence the Ocean rose again It swelled to lift a sprawling hand, Of white and green and blue and sea It called her name “come back to me.” It reached the shore and the hills beyond, To where she lay And ponder on. It pulled her back into the Sea To cleanse her soul, Her worried being Ceaseless, this went on and on, For mercy’s sake She lingered solemn, Then when she thought she’d Drew her last breath, The sky opened wide, and The Reign fell upon Her.

Spring Fitness Classes

NASSAU ZONE 2 - NEIGHBOR NEWSPAPERS - WEDNESDAY MARCH 25, 2015 • www.southbaysneighbor.com

The Town’s popular Spring fitness programs are returning this April for residents seeking to maintain or improve their levels of fitness heading into the warmer months. The Spring fitness classes will be held at the Hicksville Athletic Center. These fitness programs are for individuals 18 years of age or older who want to increase flexibility, tone muscles and build strength. Participants have the opportunity to register for courses including Zumba, yoga, and cardio kickboxing. Each session will be carefully tailored to the physical condition of the individual and designed to gain the best results. Registration for the

Spring Fitness programs will take place at the Town of Oyster Bay Hicksville Athletic Center (167 Broadway, Hicksville) from 7 to 9 p.m. on Tuesday, March 24th and Thursday March 26th, and from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. on Saturday March 28th. Following these dates, registration will continue at the Town of Oyster Bay Hicksville Athletic Center, based on availability. Each twelve week program is $60 for residents and $70 for nonresidents. Zumba classes will be held from 7 to 8 p.m. on Mondays (starting Monday, April 6th), and 8:30 to 9:30 p.m. on Wednesdays (starting Wednesday, April 1st). The yoga classes will

be held on Mondays from 10 to 11 a.m. (starting April 6th), Tuesdays from 8 to 9 p.m (stating March 31st) and Saturdays from 9 to 10 a.m. (starting April 4th). The cardio kickboxing classes will be held on Mondays from 8 to 9 p.m. beginning on April 6th. These fitness programs are very popular because they are both healthy and enjoyable. As is always the case, it is recommended that participants check with a physician before participating in any physical fitness program. For more information, or to inquire about special Holiday scheduling, call the Hicksville Athletic Center at 516.733.8406.

Spring Registration Coming Residents are invited to take part in the Town of Oyster Bay’s Spring Adult Co-Ed Badminton and Adult Co-Ed Volleyball Programs. The programs are open to players who are 18 and older and will be held at the Town of Oyster Bay Hicksville Athletic Center. The volleyball program begins Thursday, April 9th and will be conducted on Thursdays from 8:30 to 10:30 p.m., Fridays from 9 to 10:30 p.m., and Sundays from 8:30 to 10:30 p.m. The badminton program begins Tuesday, April 7th and will be held on Mondays and Tuesdays from 9 to 10:30 p.m., and Saturdays from 8:30 to 10:30 p.m. The

programs, which are 12 weeks in duration, are $75 for residents and $100 for non-residents. Proof of residency is required for the discount. Badminton and volleyball are an excellent form of aerobic exercise that improve health and add years to your life. I would encourage people to join these co-ed activities not only for the positive health benefits, but for the social aspect as well. Councilman Pinto noted that registration for both programs will take place at the Town of Oyster Bay Hicksville Athletic Center, 167 Broadway in Hicksville, on Tuesday, March 31st from 7 to 9 p.m., Thursday,

April 2nd from 7 to 9 p.m. and Saturday, April 4th from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m.. Following these dates, registration will continue based on availability. Please note that the schedule may be subject to change and residents are encouraged to inquire about special holiday scheduling. The Town’s Co-Ed Programs are excellent ways to advance health and meet new friends. I recommend that everyone takes advantage of these terrific programs. For further information, contact the Hicksville Athletic Center at 516.733.8406.

Open Your Heart “Open Your Heart” is a campaign designed to target young adults and provide awareness for healthy hearts via the use of online fundraising, social media trends, and viral cross promotion. J.W. Cudd, a Pop/Country Artist, created the song, “Open Your Heart” in hopes

of it providing significant funding for the American Heart Association’s legacy of public education and research. This song will be released in online music stores across the nation; J.W. CUDD will donate 100% of net proceeds to the American Heart Association, but in no event

less than a total donation of 25% per sales price of “Open Your Heart” song from February 5th, 2015 to December 31st, 2015. The goal is to generate an online wave of fundraising - via the use of entertainment - that can be easily accessed with the click of a button.

However, how do you get masses of people across the nation interested in helping out the American Heart Association? Make a music video with people they do recognize. By creating a small video for the project, with wellknown faces, Open Your Heart will appeal to a

larger platform. This will help ensure the fundraiser reaches its full potential. As of February 2014, Cudd and his crew gathered photo submissions from celebrities, fans, and individuals to complete the video. Fifty- sixty actors ranging over today’s hottest shows and movies

donated their time to ensure the campaign’s success. “ . . . for the future, for the world, for all humankind... Open Your Heart.” Oldest Tree The oldest living tree, 4,700-year-old “Methuselah” grows in White Mountains, Calif.

Stay Aware

Honor Band Concert A Success The 34th Annual Catholic School Honor Band performance was held Saturday, March 7th at St. Anthony’s High School in Huntington. The Honor Band, which is made up of outstanding musicians from Catholic schools all across Nassau and Suffolk counties performed for audiences of nearly 3,000 people, including family, friends, school principals, and administrators. The Honor Band is split into two units, the Red Band and the Blue Band in order to accommodate the number of qualifying students and to be able to seat all of the proud parents and relatives in the auditorium. Each is made up of 3 performing groups; Junior Honor Band – members are mostly in their 2nd and 3rd years of playing, Senior Honor Band – members mostly in their 4th, 5th and 6th years of playing and the Wind Ensemble – members mostly in their 5th and 6th years of playing who are also part of the Senior Honor Band. The Wind Ensemble group performs music that is the most complex of all three groups. Music genres performed by all groups range from original band compositions, classical transcriptions, marches, patriotic, movies and pop arrangements.

The Honor Band, which first performed together as a group of 100 musicians in 1982 has grown to represent over 700 musicians from dozens of schools today. Many graduates, who participated in the honor band when they

attended the elementary schools, are invited and accept to participate in the festival as alumni. The band is led today by Mr. Allan Fisher, an accomplished educator and Educational Manager with Paul Effman Music. Mr. Fisher accepted the baton from Paul Effman in 2007. Mr.

Effman still devotes his life to Music Education as well as musical performance. He oversees Paul Effman Music Service and performs with members of his talented staff at each Honor Band Festival. “There is a wealth of expression in every child,” stated Effman. “It is our duty to seek out and nurture the music and art in each and every student we educate.” Participants in the concert included 42 of the 43 Catholic Elementary Schools operated by the Diocese of Rockville Centre. Music education, academic excellence and faith formation are all important when your goal is to ‘educate the whole child mind, body and spirit’ as is the goal of Long Island’s Catholic elementary schools. Featuring highly developed music and performing arts programs, the schools offer experienced teachers, creative classrooms, computer instruction and innovative reading programs to accelerate achievement. In addition to the band programs, the schools, working with Paul Effman Music, has recently added orchestral study and string programs giving students the additional opportunity to learn violin, viola and cello, and guitar.

Press Option #2 & One Of Our Classified Ad Specialists Would Love To Help You!!

The Long Island Council on Alcoholism and Drug Dependence (LICADD) received a $5,000 grant from New York Community Bank Foundation to support technology and website enhancements. With the heroin and opiate crisis raging, the demand for LICADD’s services has increased exponentially. Significant price drops in the street price of heroin on Long Island, have increased the number of young people who are using the drug. Calls to LICADD’s hotlines

and requests for services mirror these increasing trends and beyond the sheer rise in numbers of young people and their families seeking heroin addiction treatment services, the rapid progression from snorting to injecting the drug is startling and obviously increases the potential health consequences for users. Funding from the New York Community Bank Foundation will go toward expanding our technology needs and enhancing

LICADD’s website. “We are so grateful to New York Community Bank Foundation for supporting LICADD’s technology needs to keep up with the growing demand for our services.” says Executive Director Steve Chassman. For over 59 years, LICADD has successfully delivered evidence-based programs designed to prevent and treat substance abuse and addiction. LICADD offers crisis intervention, screenings, brief interventions,

referrals to treatment and several family and parent education workshops to help Long Islanders struggling with the effects of addiction. Through our Open Arms, EAP Program, LICADD has provided targeted solution-focused support to companies all along the East Coast, serving over 60,000 employees and their families. For more information, please call 516.747.2606 or visit us on the web at www. licadd.org and Facebook.

First Robotics Set School-Business Partnerships of Long Island, Inc. (SBPLI), in conjunction with FIRST® (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology), is pleased to present the Long Island Regional FIRST Robotics Competition (FRC) on March 27th and 28th at Hofstra University’s David S. Mack Sports and Exhibition Complex in Hempstead. The event begins at 8:30 a.m. on both days, with opening ceremonies. Families and supporters from all across Long Island are invited to watch fiftyone teams of students and engineering and technical mentors from Long Island, the New York metropolitan area, as well as Brazil, Israel, and Canada, demonstrate their skills for science, mathematics,

and technology. They will compete for honors and recognition that reward design excellence, competitive play, sportsmanship, and high-impact partnerships between schools, businesses, and communities. Now in its 26th season, the FIRST Robotics Competition anticipates close to 2,548 teams from every state in the U.S. and 16 countries worldwide to compete in 58 Regional Events and 17 District Competitions. More than 2,000 students will compete at the Long Island Regional FIRST Robotics Competition to be eligible to earn a spot at the Championship, to be held April 22nd-25th at the Edward Jones Dome in St. Louis, Missouri. This year’s challenge,

RECYCLE RUSHSM, is a recycling-themed competition played by two alliances of three robots each. Robots score points by stacking totes on scoring platforms, capping those stacks with recycling containers, and properly disposing of pool noodles, representing litter. In keeping with the recycling theme of the game, all game pieces used are reusable or recyclable by teams in their home locations or by FIRST at the end of the season. At the event, families can watch the robots compete, as well as check out the demonstrations from some of the Junior FIRST® LEGO League, FIRST® LEGO League and FIRST® Tech Challenge teams, visit the FESTO traveling exhibit about engineering and try out the da Vinci®

Surgical System robot. “We are extremely excited to bring back the FIRST Robotics Competition this year,” said Debra Winter, FRC Co-Director, SBPLI. “This event is an important stepping stone for those students. For some, it’s a chance to take part in making a vision become a reality. For others, it opens the door to possibilities that are few and far between these days, like scholarships or job opportunities. We also have some interesting demonstrations that we urge the visiting team members and their families to visit. Both SBPLI and FIRST are showing that, through the Long Island Regional, they are stepping up to the challenge of increasing awareness of STEM on Long Island.” This season, students

participating in FIRST robotics are eligible to apply for more than $20 million in scholarships from 150 providers. Over a sixweek timeframe, students work with professional engineering mentors to design a robot that solves a problem using a “kit of parts” and a standard set of rules. Once these young inventors create the robot, their teams participate in regional competitions that measure the effectiveness of each robot, the power of collaboration, and the determination of students. The Long Island Regional FIRST Robotics Competition’s sponsors and volunteers come from some of the most highly regarded organizations and businesses in the area, including FESTO Corporation, BAE Systems, Cablevision, Estee Lauder,

Northrop-Grumman, North Shore-LIJ Health System, PSEG Long Island, SCOPE Educational Services, Park Shore Country Day Camp and School, Pepsi-Co, Schenck Trebel Corporation, Stony Brook University, Hofstra University, Farmingdale State College and School Construction Consultants, among others. Sponsors provide resources including time and talent from professional mentors, services, equipment, financial contributions, and volunteers. If you or your child are interested in participating in any of the FIRST family of programs, please visit www.spbli.org for more information.

Consumers Should Take Advantage Of Free Credit Reports ( N A P S I ) — T h e Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) found that many consumers are overwhelmed by the amount of information available to help them learn more about the financial services marketplace. At the same time, the CFPB found one of the most popular resources offered is information about credit reports. The credit bureaus have found that information about credit reports is popular as well. “Each year, there are over 25 million

free credit reports provided to consumers,” said Stuart K. Pratt, president and CEO of the Consumer Data Industry Association. “And while that’s a significant number, there are still a considerable number of consumers who aren’t exercising their option to get their report. According to a survey done by VantageScore and the Consumer Federation of America, 37 percent of consumers have never obtained a copy of their credit report,” he added. Consumers can get a free

credit report from each of the three nationwide credit bureaus, Equifax, Experian and Trans-Union, once a year by going to www. annualcreditreport.com. The process is easy and enables consumers to have real-time access to their credit reports. “Many people get annual medical checkups. We encourage consumers to be just as conscientious when it comes to their personal finances; get an annual credit checkup by obtaining your free credit report,” added Pratt.

FOOTLOOSE - The Drama Cadets from Plainview-Old Bethpage (POB) School District’s Plainview-Old Bethpage Middle School recently performed Footloose the Musical for faculty, fellow students and the Plainview-Old Bethpage community. Over 70 students were involved in the production as members of the cast, crew and band. Several major rehearsals were canceled due to inclement weather, but the students persevered to perform three successful shows.
