Helping You Help Others

By: Jamie Lynn Ryan

with Jamie Lynn Ryan

The Time of the Season struggles, it is how we choose to deal with, and hopefully, to overcome these issues that is the most important. Redirecting our focus constantly, from wallowing in the negativity of why did this happen? to being proactive in setting a plan for what would I like to happen? going forward. No use dwelling on the past; we need to be present in order to look to the future with anything resembling a clear perspective. They say hindsight is 20/20; but is it truly? I would argue that, even upon reflecting on past events, I do not have an unequivocal assessment of how things might have turned out differently; or even, if they should have. No, I am a firm believer that all things happen for a reason, even if that reason is not immediately - or ever - apparent. Some things are simply not meant to be

understood beyond a shadow of a doubt. Life is nothing if not filled with unexpected twists and turns, and a touch of the unknown. I recently came across a quote which said, in part, that it is not truly the unknown which we fear; but rather, what we think we know of the unknown. What an interesting concept, this notion that most of our apprehensions are selfmade and, if we would only take care to take a step back and let things play out a bit, perhaps we would be pleasantly surprised as to the outcome. Spring is traditionally seen as a time of growth and progress, naturally and otherwise. The seeds must be planted and cultivated, in hopes of a fruitful season. Whether things blossom as we wish, well, that remains to be seen. As with most things, only time will tell.

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. I had the pleasure of meeting with some of their staff members to grasp a better understanding of all they have done and all they continue to do for those in need. 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. It is apparent to me that Friends of Karen wants whomever is going through a tough and unimaginable critical illness to know that they are not alone and that help is available for them. 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.

And just like that, spring has arrived, with its bursts of warm sunshine coaxing the flower blossoms from beneath the winter-hardened soil. The Easter Bunny has already come and gone, and plans are well underway for summer vacations and the tantalizing temptation of beach season. Seems we were only just beginning to put together our Christmas shopping lists not so long ago, doesn’t it? It’s funny, how this concept of time seems to work its way into nearly every conversation in one respect or another the lack of it, its tendency to pass by too quickly… seldom have I heard the argument that there is simply too much time to know what to do with. Never, in fact. Seems this would be a rather enviable problem to have. But alas, this is most certainly not the case. As with most of life’s

Moving Forward Strategy and Tactics As a professor of management in a large business school, I have taught hundreds of students the principles of strategy and tactics. As a start, with a bewildering array of freshman faces, the climate soon changed with nods of satisfaction. Further, when I then explained how most of these principles could be easily converted to enrich their daily lives, that rang a bell to all of them. What gave me the biggest satisfaction was that the majority of students who took this course found great success in applying these principles to their own situations.

this? I am confident that, as you read on and learn how to make this transition, you will discover a wealth of knowledge that will lead to much inner satisfaction and self-discovery. Are you interested in going further? If so, read on!

For example, in order for a company to grow its sales volume, the penetration strategy might be to go from 15% to 20% in sales over the next six months. This would be their primary strategy. Their secondary strategy could be to reduce the amount of rejects on the production line in the same period.

Options for Community Living, Inc. has been awarded two contracts under the New York State Supportive Housing Program (NYSSHP) through the NYS Office of Temporary and Disability Assistance. These NYSSHP awards – together totaling $230,640 – will enable Options to assist vulnerable Long Island families and single adults residing in the agency’s supportive housing programs. “The NYSSHP awards provide much needed financial support for Options’ case managers who work directly with residents in our housing programs, which continue to grow,” stated Yolanda Robano-Gross, executive director, Options for Community Living. “Supportive housing allows people to live with dignity in the community. It is the most humane and cost-effective solution to ending homelessness and creating stability for vulnerable people on Long Island.” Options’ residents pay an affordable rent and case managers make regular home visits to monitor health and safety and teach skills, such as cooking, budgeting and much more so that the residents can live independently. More than 600 Long Islanders reside in Options’ over 150 supportive housing sites in Nassau and Suffolk Counties.

Allergy And Dirty Ducts (NAPSI)—Allergies are nothing to sneeze at but you can make your home more comfortable for people who have allergies and improve your indoor air quality—by cleaning in an often forgotten place. Indoor air quality can be a big concern for many families. After all, in a typical six-room home, up to 40 pounds of dust— including dangerous chemicals and other pollutants—is created annually through everyday living. These contaminants are pulled into the HVAC system and recirculated as much as seven times a day. Over time, this leads to built-up contaminants in the ductwork. Since your heating and cooling system is the lungs of your home, you want to keep it clear.

Syosset High School senior Wanlin Li continues to represent Syosset well. Wanlin was recently praised by the College Board for her superior score on last May’s AP Computer Science A Exam. She not only received a top score of 5 but also was one of only 112 students in the world to earn every point possible, receiving the maximum score on every portion of the exam. More than 60,519 students around the world took the AP Computer Science A Exam last year. If this weren’t enough

to be proud of, once again Wanlin will represent the United States at the European Girl’s Mathematical Olympiad this April in Italy. Last year, she also represented the U.S. on a fourmember European Girl’s Mathematical Olympiad team in Switzerland. Along with taking top honors last year, Wanlin and her three teammates were each awarded a gold medal for their individual performances on this challenging mathematics exam. As a sophomore Wanlin

tied for the fourth-highest score in the country, qualifying her for the United States of America Junior Mathematical Olympiad exam. She was one of just 50 students nationwide invited to the Mathematical Olympiad Summer Program. She is also a past runner-up at the New York State Mathematics League competition. Along with computer programming, Wanlin said she enjoys the thinking required in math and the ability to solve different problems.

Join us in Bethpage and take this chance to share the ice with New York Ranger Alumni.” “This is a wonderful opportunity for kids to get the chance to play the

greatest game on Earth,” said Rangers-legend Adam Graves. “These are kids that might not otherwise be able to experience the game of hockey. They are sure to love it and hopefully this ignites a lifelong passion for the sport.” The “Try Hockey for Free” program is part of a nationwide effort by USA Hockey to provide children of all economic backgrounds, an opportunity to play hockey.

Savor these beautiful (and edible) flowers C Cooking with edible flowers is a trend that has endured for centuries. According to Fleurs Gourmandes, the first recorded history of edible flowers occurred in 140 BC. Use of calendula in salads dates back to the ancient Greeks and Romans. Victorian-era candied flowers and flowerencrusted sweets took edible flowers to new heights. Today, nothing may make a meal seem more gourmet than the inclusion of flower petals in the recipe. Of course, before delving into the expanded world of cooking using edible blooms, some notes of caution should first be mentioned. Avoid flowers that may have been sprayed with fungicides, herbicides or insecticides. To verify safety, only use edible flowers grown specifically for this purpose, not flowers picked from

roadsides or from landscapes. Secondly, remember that not all flowers are edible. Some can be poisonous or cause severe gastrointestinal upset when consumed. That means all flowers should be carefully researched prior to experimenting with them in the kitchen. To begin growing — and eating — edible flowers, refer to this list of varieties deemed safe and be careful to double-check against allergies and any interactions with medications prior to use. Allium: These are blossoms from the allium family, which include garlic, chives and leeks. These flowers can be used to add flavor to foods.

Marigolds are just one of the many ﬂowers that can be consumed.

marigold family can taste like saffron when it’s sautéed. Uncooked, calendula can have spicy notes that add variety to salads and garnishes.

Marigolds: These tiny ﬂowers may be used in vegetable gardens to repel animal and insect pests. Blossoms have a fresh citrus taste that can be used in cooking.

Chamomile: This plant features small, daisy-type ﬂowers that can be used in treats and teas. Cilantro: The ﬂowers from the cilantro plant can be eaten, just as the leaves and the seeds that form the spice coriander.

Basil Blossoms: It may be customary to pinch off the blossoms of basil, which come in colors from white to lavender in order to stimulate growth of the leaves of the plant. However, the blossoms, which are more mild than the leaves, can be tasty as well.

Fennel: Just like the plant itself, the ﬂowers of fennel have a subtle licorice ﬂavor.

Calendula: Sometimes known as “poor man’s saffron,” this yellow ﬂower in the

Lavender: The sweet, perfumed taste of lavender works in cocktails and desserts.

Hibiscus: Hibiscus blooms are famously used in hibiscus tea, which is tart and cranberry-like.

Roses: Beautiful to behold, rose petals can lend a subtle, fruity ﬂavor to many different foods as well.

ultivating beautiful blooms is a popular pastime for gardeners near and far. While gazing at a yard full of vibrant colors or enjoying the aroma of freshly cut blooms is enough for many gardeners, others may want to embrace a long-enduring tradition — growing edible ﬂowers.

Create a teenfriendly space at home Know who to call when you smell gas.

eenagers are busier than ever before. But even the busiest teens need places to unwind and relax with friends. Many parents aspire to create that type of environment in their homes but don’t know where to begin.

Parents who want to keep teens nearby can create hangout spaces at home that make it easy for teens to feel comfortable with their friends. These “teen caves” can be private but permit supervision when necessary. With a few modiﬁcations, it’s possible to transform a room in a home into a teen-friendly hangout space.

isn’t to your taste, he or she will be proud of the results and may want to share it with friends. Have a snack station. Some teenagers always seem to be hungry, and hanging out with friends while enjoying food is a popular pastime. When renovating a room into a teen cave, ﬁnd a way to make food a focus. Install a mini-refrigerator and nonalcoholic bar where kids can serve snacks to friends. Think about a space you would like as an adult and modify it to be more accommodating to teenagers. Add more seating. Having friends over means having enough seating to handle a small crowd. Beanbags, cushioned benches, a daybed, modular seating and more can ensure everyone has a place to sit. Make a private outdoor spot. Teen spaces do not need to be restricted to the indoors. Design advice site Houzz says an outdoor escape zone that includes comfortable seating in a private area — particularly a spot that can also be enjoyed into the evening — will be a coveted spot.

Talk to your children. Involve teens in the process of renovating a home to create a spot in which they would like to congregate. Talk about elements they would like to see in the space, whether it be a particular design style, technology or activity.

Invest in “indestructible” materials. Teenagers are bound to make messes, and having other people over means contending with a certain measure of damage. Design the space with indooroutdoor carpeting, water-resistant fabrics, distressed wood and other durable materials.

Establish a shared budget. Paint is inexpensive and can transform just about any room in a single afternoon. If the room being renovated is the teen’s own bedroom, allow him or her to choose the color palette and other accents. Even if it

Adolescents are always looking for spaces to gather without overbearing adult interference. Homeowners can create such spaces for their children in their own homes.

Having teens close by and interacting with them on a regular basis can beneﬁt families. Data from the National Center for Education Statistics notes that parental involvement correlates to higher grade point averages. Research from the National Highway Trafﬁc Safety Administration says certain parenting styles, including those that set rules and monitor teens in supportive ways, develop kids who are more likely to wear seat belts while driving, while such support also lowers crash risk. Involved parents also may reduce the chances of teen drug use and promiscuous behavior.

Natural gas emergencies can happen anywhere, anytime, and it’s up to you and your nose to help.

Personal touches turn a house into a home. Hanging pictures, whether they’re personal photographs or artwork, can really change the character of a room. Unfortunately, some people may not know the proper ways to display pictures on a wall. Design maven Martha Stewart advises that the ﬁrst step is to gather all of the pictures that are in consideration for hanging. This will enable a person to see what is available and edit their selection based on the space available, theme or color scheme. Having the artwork there enables a person to move it around like a puzzle until the placement feels just right. Next, plan on hanging artwork at 57 inches on center, according to the renovation experts at Apartment Therapy. “On center” means the middle of the photograph or painting will always be at 57,” as this measurement represents the average human eye height. This height is regularly used as a standard in many galleries and museums.

NASSAU ZONE 2 - NEIGHBOR NEWSPAPERS - WEDNESDAY APRIL 4, 2018 • www.southbaysneighbor.com

When the goal is to hang multiple pictures, treat the entire grouping as

a single unit. This means creating the layout and ﬁnding the center of the middle piece of the grouping. To make picture grouping easier, use paper templates with arrows to indicate whether the artwork will be hung horizontally or vertically. These templates can then be easily taped to the wall and rearranged until the grouping is ideal. There are no hard and fast rules concerning frames, meaning they do not all have to match. But placing framed artwork side by side can give a person a feel for whether the images and the frames work together in the space. Some people like to use frames of similar colors and sizes. Others want the eclectic mix-and-match appeal. It’s ultimately up to the homeowner. Measuring is key to hanging a picture correctly on the wall. Take into consideration the type of attachment, whether it’s D-rings, sawtooth hangers, wire or other fasteners on the back. Measure from the top of the frame to the hanger. Measure the wall to achieve

the 57” on center location, and then calculate where this falls within the height of the artwork and frame top. Adjust accordingly and mark. Then measure the distance from the frame top to the hanger location on the wall. Be sure to take the weight of the picture into consideration when selecting hanging hardware. Wall anchors may be needed if measurements determine a wall stud will not help secure the artwork — to keep the frame sturdy in the drywall. Home improvement resource Today’s Homeowner also suggests using self-adhesive rubber bumpers to the bottom corners on the back of the frame before hanging so that the picture will not damage the wall and will help it hang level. It can take a few attempts to hang pictures correctly, but with practice it should come with greater ease. The good news is there are new products constantly being evolved to make picture hanging easier, including those that enable removal and relocation of artwork without damaging walls.

Used Car Buying Online (NAPSI)—A recent study by Interactive Advertising Bureau shows that 96 percent of consumers begin their car search online. In fact, millennials spend as much as 12 to 13 hours researching cars

online before making the decision to buy. Buying a used car requires even more research and there are lots of places online to do so. Here are four points to help you avoid wasting

time. 1. Know what you want. Have a budget and clear idea of the type of car that’s right for you first. Use online reviews, too. Getting pulled off track will overcomplicate things.

Oyster Bay Town Supervisor Joseph Saladino and Town Councilman Thomas P. Hand recently joined with District Court Judge Colin F. O’Donnell, Nassau County Legislator James Kennedy, former New York Knicks John

Wallace and some of the young participants at the Town of Oyster Bay’s Junior Knicks Basketball Clinic, which was held in partnership with the New York Knicks. The clinic, which took place at the Town of Oyster

Bay’s Hicksville Athletic Center, brought together boys and girls ages 5 through 14 to learn the fundamentals of basketball from some of the area’s finest coaches and players.

Basketball Clinic

2. Where you shop can be just as important as what you buy. Choose reputable websites and dealerships where vehicle history information is readily available. 3. Get a good handle on

what the car you’re looking at is worth. That way, you’ll know when a bargain looks too good to be true. 4. Find the cars you want and avoid the ones you don’t by starting your search using vehicle

history at Carfax.com. Choose 1-Owner, no reported accidents and more, plus every car there comes with a free Carfax Report.

PUZZLE ANSWERS:

Oyster Bay Town residents are reminded that the Second Half of the 2017-2018 School Tax Levy is due on April 1st, but can be paid without penalty through May 10th. Please be certain to sign your check, payable to James J. Stefanich, Receiver of Taxes. Indicate your property’s S.D. Code, Section, Block, Lot and telephone number on the check. “By law, a taxpayer has a 40-day penalty free period

from the date the tax is due during which payment may be made without penalty,” Mr. Stefanich explained. “After the 40 days, a one percent penalty is added for each month the tax remains unpaid, retroactive to April 1st.” Residents can pay in person, by either cash or check, at the Tax Office, Oyster Bay Town Hall West, 74 Audrey Avenue, Oyster Bay, or by check only at our office in Town Hall South (rear entrance),

977 Hicksville Road, Massapequa. When paying the tax bill in person, taxpayers are reminded to bring the entire tax bill with their payments. In addition, the Hicksville Annex, at the TOB Parking Facility, 55 Duffy Avenue, Hicksville, will be open to accept payments by check only, from 9:00 a.m. to 4:45 p.m. on May 3rd, 4th, 7th, 8th, 9th and 10th.

Move More Month

NASSAU ZONE 2 - NEIGHBOR NEWSPAPERS - WEDNESDAY APRIL 4, 2018 • www.southbaysneighbor.com

Staying active is a nobrainer when it comes to improving how you look and feel, yet according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, only 56.1% percent of New York State adults are getting the recommended amount of aerobic physical activity. This month the American Heart Association, the world’s leading voluntary organization dedicated to building healthier lives, free of cardiovascular diseases and stroke, is challenging everyone to get moving. Move More Month is part of the association’s Healthy For Good™ movement,

which inspires people everywhere to make lasting changes in their health and their lives, one small step at a time. “The human body was designed to move,” said Eduardo Sanchez, M.D., M.P.H., FAAFP, American Heart Association’s chief medical officer for prevention. “Your body thanks you for moving by relieving anxiety, depression and even anger, and rewards you by making your brain and heart stronger.” Not only can moving more help improve selfconfidence, energy levels and sleep quality, those who are physically active

and at a healthy weight live about seven years longer than those who are not active and are obese. People are encouraged to share how they’re moving more in April by using the hashtags #HealthyForGood and #MoveWithHeart on social media. According to the American Heart Association, just 150 minutes a week of activity that gets your heart pumping and leaves you a little breathless can provide major health benefits. The American Heart Association’s Healthy For Good movement encourages everyone to get moving with the following

tips: Work it… at Work – Whether you work in an office, at home or behind the wheel, chances are you spend a lot of time sitting. Not enough time to move? Try moving more while you perform routine tasks. Start by taking one weekly meeting to go by walking while you meet. Other options include taking the stairs more often, parking farther out or taking stretch breaks throughout the day. Play with Fido – Most pet owners will tell you that having a pet can relieve stress and boost overall happiness. But did you know that people

who walk their dogs are more likely to get the recommended amount of physical activity than those who don’t. According to one study, dog-walkers got an average of 30 minutes more exercise a day than non-walkers. Make it a Family Affair – You don’t need to break the bank to move more with your kids. There are numerous tips to keep your family active on the cheap. And if the weather is bad or outdoor activities are out of the question, try dancing, playing or cleaning indoors. Want to get out? Go for a walk around the mall or check out recreation centers in

your neighborhood. Bust a Move Anywhere – The American Heart Association recommends adults get at least 150 minutes of moderate activity every week. That can be accomplished by taking small activity breaks, setting reasonable expectations and finding a move more buddy. No matter what you do, it’s important to stay motivated by making every move count and celebrate your accomplishments. Find resources and join the movement to be Healthy For Good at heart. org/MoveMore.
