Cutting Edge Renovations This summer, Nassau BOCES is making significant improvements to its Joseph M. Barry Career & Technical Education Center. Ongoing construction will upgrade instructional space at Barry Tech, keeping the facilities on the cutting-edge of industry expectations and benefitting CTE students at both the high school and adult education levels from 7:30 a.m. to 10 p.m. Phase one of construction guarantees that all Barry Tech automotive shops will continue to meet the most current industry standards. Construction is almost completed on a brand new, state-of-the-art auto mechanics classroom and shop - a workspace that is on par with service areas at professional dealerships. This phase ensures that the shops and all the equipment in them meet industry certification requirements as well as the addition of Snap-On certifications, making Barry Tech the only Snap-

On certified school in New York State. In addition, all four auto shops will now occupy the same wing of the building, facilitating collaborative instruction. Phase two of the project provides a much larger instructional and work space for Construction Trades courses, which include carpentry, masonry, electricity, plumbing and much more. This expanded, improved space will accommodate a greater number of students, helping to meet the demands of ever-growing enrollment for these strong careers on Long Island. Phase two will also retrofit the Welding classroom and enhance the design of existing instructional space. All classrooms will be equipped with the latest, industry-compliant equipment. “We are extremely excited about the improvements to our Barry Tech facilities and very grateful to the members

of the educational and employer communities for their support,” said Gene Silverman, Executive Director of the Nassau BOCES Department of Regional Schools and Instructional Programs. “Construction is progressing on time and on target, with zero impact on instruction. All of these essential renovations were planned based on conversations with our industry and college partners, so that we may continue to meet all career standards. We’re taking the facility we already have and maximizing every square foot for instruction. Our goal is to give our students every opportunity to become fully prepared to enter the workforce and meet the ever-changing demands of industry on Long Island.” This fall, Nassau BOCES plans to hold a ribbon cutting ceremony to present the newly renovated facilities to the community.

My Little Corner of LI

By: Jamie Lynn Ryan

Much has been written about the expense of living on Long Island, especially for us young-ish folk who have only recently set out on our own, away from the comfy confines of our childhood homes. I know plenty of fellow Lindy friends who have moved across the country upon graduating, precisely for this reason; however, just as many remain in the area, toughing out life on LI. Our mission: to make ends meet so as not to be forced to flee this island oasis that we call home. Sure, you may indeed get more for your money elsewhere; but where else can you be equidistant from the great landmarks of Manhattan and the beautiful beaches of Montauk? A mere vacation getaway for some, we are fortunate to reside here year round, through all four seasons of splendor. In that sense, there

are some perks you simply can’t put a price on. As often as I think I am paying way too much to live in my one bedroom apartment, when I take a look at the pristine grounds surrounding me, I realize I wouldn’t have it any other way. Nearly five years later, my little haven is quite completely furnished, and I have accumulated enough seasonal decor to last a lifetime, maybe two. Closet space… well, that’s another matter entirely. To think I have managed to fill every square inch of available storage in such a short span of time; well, it’s really pretty impressive (said she sheepishly). First item on the autumn “To Do” list: purge those closets, drawers and unreachable shelves of anything unnecessary. Consolidate, donate; whatever it takes to create a little more

breathing room. And stay away from those sales, more importantly, or we’ll be right back in the same boat a few months down the line. Perhaps my favorite space of all, though, is my little outdoor deck. While the view consists mainly of a parking lot and other surrounding apartments, I have made it my mission to fill the area with plants in every corner, twinkly white lights, solar garden ornaments - and of course my aqua-colored Adirondack chairs, the perfect accessory for all seasons. Many a summer day has been spent lounging here, listening to the sounds of birds chirping in the nearby tree, squirrels scurrying to and fro and watching the sun’s glow rise and fall as the hours pass. Living on Long Island… it ain’t for everyone, to be sure but I wouldn’t have it any other way.

Nearly 1,000 PSEG Long Island employees showed their community spirit on Tuesday, July 25th, helping to raise thousands of dollars for four Long Island charities by taking part in the Marcum Workplace Challenge at Jones Beach State Park. PSEG Long Island orange was the most common color in the crowds at Long Island’s largest corporate picnic event and 3.5-mile fun run. Once everyone crossed the finish line, the utility was recognized for having the most participants and for raising the most money

through contributions beyond the registration fee. In addition to the entry fee, a portion of which supports local charities, PSEG Long Island employees contributed $3,100 in voluntary donations. “This is always my favorite day of the year at PSEG Long Island. It’s always great to see our employees come out to the beach every year to show our spirit and commitment for such a great cause and give back to the communities we serve,” said Dave Daly,

President and COO, PSEG Long Island. “It’s a fun way to show everyone the dedication that drives our company, and I’m very proud to be a part of it.” More than 12,000 people and 200 companies typically participate in

the Marcum Workplace Challenge. Proceeds go to benefit four local charities: Long Island Cares Inc. The Harry Chapin Food Bank; The Long Island Children’s Museum; Children’s Medical Fund of New York; and The Nassau County Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. PSEG Long Island, which operates the Long Island Power Authority’s energy grid under contract, is committed to serving the community. Employees participated in nearly 800 volunteer events last year.

The Long Island Nets are partnering with United Way of Long Island as part of their 9th annual Stuff-A-Bus campaign to help local students from low-income families head back to school prepared, with new backpacks and other essential school supplies. With the support of Senator Kemp Hannon, Senator Elaine Phillips, Target and Burger King, the Long Island Nets will be able to provide thousands of school supplies to the Uniondale School District and other Town of Hempstead beneficiaries through the program. Beginning now through August 20th, the Long Island Nets will be collecting school supplies at various locations throughout Nassau County, which will be distributed to students in advance of the 2017-2018 school year. For a full list of Nassau County drop-off locations visit: www.longislandnets.com/ StuffABus Community members are asked to participate by donating new school supplies and backpacks. Suggested items for donation include binders, colored pencils, erasers, glue sticks, notebooks, pencils, pens, and backpacks. The deadline for donations to be collected through the Long Island Nets is Sunday, August 20th. The initiative will culminate with “StuffA-Bus” Day at NYCB LIVE, home of the Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum, on Wednesday, August 23rd, from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m. in the Exhibition Hall. During this time, volunteers will help sort and pack the essential items students need at the start of the new school year. “The Long Island Nets are honored to partner with United Way of Long Island to uplift our youth and give back to the region we’re proud to be a part of,” said Alton Byrd, Vice President of the Long Island Nets. “The expansion of Stuff-ABus to Nassau County is an example of how we can all play a role in growing our community. We are

thankful to Senator Kemp Hannon, Senator Elaine Phillips, Target, and Burger King for supporting this initiative to help Nassau County youth successfully start the school year.” “Children represent the future of Long Island, so it is critical that we give them the support they need to be successful in their early years of education,” said Theresa A. Regnante, President and CEO of United Way of Long Island. “Working with the Long Island Nets allows us to expand our Stuff-A-Bus program even further, reaching more young students and giving them the tools they need to thrive.” “These school supplies will provide our students with useful tools for success as the Uniondale School District continues to help students achieve their academic goals,” said Uniondale School District Superintendent of Schools Dr. William K. Lloyd. “We are thankful for efforts of the Long Island Nets and United Way of Long Island to further our shared educational mission.” Over the past eight years, United Way of Long Island’s Stuff-A-Bus program has provided hundreds of thousands of school supplies to Long Island students through partnering with four Long Island bus transportation companies (Suffolk Transportation Service, Inc. Educational Bus Transportation, Huntington Coach Corporation, East End Bus Lines).

Improve Concentration in Class The “fidget spinner” and its many knock-offs made big news this year as the device became a must-have trend seemingly overnight. The toy has been touted as a gizmo that can do everything from improve concentration, relieve stress, treat ADHD, reduce nail biting, and even alleviate smartphone addiction. The growing influence of technology has been a cause for concern in classrooms, prompting the confiscation of gizmos

by administrators and compelling teachers to pen reminders to parents about keeping distractions at home. However, in light of the popularity of devices for kids who seem to be natural-born fidgeters, educators must answer tough questions of how to improve concentration and reduce distractions in the classroom - especially for nontraditional learners. These techniques may be equally, if not more, effective than spinners and other toys.

Flexible seating fosters an environment that helps students learn based on their needs. Seating can range from the traditional desks and hard chairs to soft cushions, exercise balls and seats with elasticized bands around the legs. Children may also sit on the floor or in camp chairs or use standup tables depending on the classroom design. The idea is to avoid pigeonholing children into an environment that is not conducive to learning,

especially as many children are prone to moving around and not sitting still for long periods of time. Although there isn’t yet extensive research into alternative seating, a 2011 study published in the American Journal of Public Health found that first-graders with standing desks chose to stand about two-thirds of the time and burned 17 percent more calories than classmates in traditional seated classrooms, and teachers noted that students at

kids engaged. Instead of constant lecturing, institute small group work, independent study or cooperative learning. Some students may work better in quiet environments, while others may need some background noise to concentrate. Improving concentration in school can benefit students’ performance. Strategies that work in the classroom may work at home as well.

can take notes on laptops or tablets while teachers can rely on smartboards and notebooks for classroom lessons. When paper must be used, make a concentrated effort to

discard it in designated recycling bins in each classroom.

Going Green at School Eco-conscious lifestyles may have transformed the ways people behave at home or on the job, but many schools have taken a little longer to embrace eco-friendly practices.

But that doesn’t have to continue, as younger generations of students are growing up green and ready to embrace some green strategies in the classroom.

One of the easiest steps to take is to reduce paper usage. According to Edutopia, a K-12 learning and education resource, the average school uses approximately 250,000

pieces of paper per school year. This estimate is based on an average of 50 reams of paper per teacher at a 100-teacher school. Instead of relying so heavily on paper, students

Transitioning to Middle School A child’s school-aged years are filled with many different lessons and experiences. While in school, kids have the opportunity to broaden their horizons and meet new people. Many students will attend various schools before moving on to college, and therefore they must learn how to adjust to new schools. While many students attend elementary school together for years, students may not know their classmates once they make it to middle school,

which tends to boast larger student bodies than elementary schools. That’s because many middle schools’ student bodies are a combination of several elementary schools. Making the transition from elementary school to middle school or junior high can spark anxiety in students, but that does not have to be. The National Education Association says a common element of a successful middle school experience is a smooth and positive transition from elementary

school. The following are a few ways students can handle their transition to middle school. Participate in a school-based transition program. Middle schools frequently host open houses for elementary school students, who can take tours of the campus. Parents can take part in these events with their children. If your schedule does not allow you to attend, then schedule a private tour with the middle school principal or a faculty member. Middle

school guidance counselors or guest speakers also may make the rounds, visiting elementary schools directly. Be sure your student attends such information sessions so he or she can get an idea of what to expect during middle school. Dispel any myths your youngster might have heard about middle school. Youngsters hear lots of things about middle schools, and much of what kids hear might be untrue. Ask kids what they have heard about the schools

they will be moving on to, and then do your best to dispel any myths. Find a middle school buddy. Ask an older sibling or invite someone who is currently enrolled in the school to speak with your child and answer any questions he or she may have. Hearing directly from a fellow student may make your child feel more comfortable about what to expect. Talk about any other fears. Engage in an open dialogue with your son or daughter about any

additional fears he or she may have. If students are worried about academics, spend some time over the summer going over the curriculum. If the potential for peer pressure is a cause for concern, reinforce advice on how to react to peer pressure. Parents and their children can take several steps to make students’ transitions to middle school as smooth as possible.

standing desks were more alert and attentive and demonstrated less disruptive behavior than those using traditional desks. Allowing children to get up and move around from time to time can reset their alertness and mental focus. Get students up by asking them to do things as simple as handing out papers and supplies or cleaning off the whiteboard. Breaking up the classroom routine is another way to keep

On Thursday, July 20th, 33 students who had been treated at Stony Brook Children’s Hospital for pediatric cancer, were the recipients of this year’s Dan Brooks Memorial Education Award. The award ceremony was held at the Hilton Garden Inn on the Stony Brook University Campus. The Sunrise Fund’s Daniel Brooks Memorial Educational Award for Students with Cancer was established in memory of Dan Brooks, a young man who completed treatment for leukemia at Stony Brook University Medical Center. Following his treatment, Dan went on to obtain his degree in Special Education. He felt his experience with childhood cancer motivated him to pursue a career helping children who also faced challenges. Additionally, Dan played a significant role in the development of the School Intervention and Re-entry Program, which transitions children with cancer back to the classroom following cancer treatment. Sadly, Dan’s life was cut tragically short in a motor vehicle accident. His spirit and dedication to education, and children with cancer, prevail through this program. The award was first given in 2003 to 4 student patients. Since then, we have presented 356 awards to 125 patients, totaling over $258,000.

100% of this money was raised by the grassroots efforts of staff, patients and their families, and our neighboring communities via walk-a-thons, car shows, calendar sales, and more. All graduates of the Pediatric Oncology Program at Stony Brook Children’s who are pursuing post High School education/training are eligible for this award. This year’s recipients were: • Alexis Attardi, Adelphi University • Julianne Baker, Molloy College • Victoria Blydenburgh, SUNY Oneonta • Cheyenne Boulden, SUNY Albany • William Brennan, Stony Brook University • Dante Buonconsiglio, Suffolk County Community College • Amanda Cirrincione, University of Alabama • Ariana Cotignola, Fashion Institute of Technology • Rebecca Davan, Suffolk County Community College • Rachel Dennis, Utica College • Lindsey Ehrlich, Stony Brook University • Thomas Erler, Farmingdale State College • Nicholas Franzi, Mercy College • Donglue Guo, Stony

Walking for Awareness event. Doctors, nurses and staff members from Northwell Health’s Brain Aneurysm Center will also be on hand to show their support for the many patients they have treated over the years. Among those who will be attending are David Chalif, MD, and Avi Setton, MD, co-directors of Northwell Health’s Brain Aneurysm Center. “One of the goals of this annual event is to increase awareness about the warning signs of a brain aneurysm,” said Dr. Chalif. “The symptoms can include severe headache, nausea, blurred or double vision, stiff neck or neck pain, pain above or behind the eye and loss of sensation.” Four years ago, Ms. Bongiorno experienced severe headaches and knew at the time that it could be a sign of a brain aneurysm. Her mother passed away of a brain aneurysm when Ms. Bongiorno was a toddler. Family members told Ms. Bongiorno that

her mother complained of severe headaches prior to the fatal aneurysm. Decades later, when Ms. Bongiorno started to experience headaches herself, she knew that she should get screened. A magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan revealed a brain aneurysm, and while it was small and would normally be left alone to be monitored over time, she was told to see a specialist because of her family history. Upon reviewing the MRI scan, Dr. Chalif explained that due to her family history, the aneurysm should be closely monitored for any changes in development. Ms. Bongiorno went for annual follow-ups over the next few years, but it wasn’t until August 2016 when growth was detected through a computed axial tomography (CAT) scan. Dr. Chalif clipped the aneurysm, cutting off blood flow to the artery in an October 2016 procedure. Clipping a brain

aneurysm is a surgical procedure performed on both ruptured and unruptured aneurysms. The neurosurgeon works through a small opening in the skull, and once the aneurysm is located with the operating microscope, the neurosurgeon eliminates blood flow by placing a clip across the aneurysm’s base – allowing blood to flow normally elsewhere in the brain. Ms. Bongiorno has no neurological deficits from the surgery and has since encouraged her own children, ages 19 and 21, to also get screened. Family history also led Ms. Smith to get screened. Her sister died from a brain aneurysm nearly two decades ago. This past summer, Ms. Smith’s primary care physician recommended she get screened due to family history. A magnetic resonance angiogram (MRA) was performed, which revealed a brain aneurysm. She was referred to Dr. Chalif, and upon

reviewing the MRA images, Dr. Chalif said she was a good candidate to receive endovascular treatment with coils and a stent – another, more minimally invasive procedure to treat the brain aneurysm. Ms. Smith underwent an endovascular coiling and stenting procedure in January, performed by Dr. Setton. Coiling a brain aneurysm requires the insertion of a catheter into the femoral artery in the leg, which is then navigated through the blood vessels into the brain where the aneurysm is located. Soft platinum coils and a stent are inserted through the catheter and deployed in the aneurysm. The coils conform to the shape of the aneurysm, fill the sac and block blood flow to the aneurysm to prevent the aneurysm from rupturing. “Approximately 5 percent of brain aneurysms are linked to a family history,” said Dr. Chalif. “But due to the decisive actions of Ms. Bongiorno and Ms. Smith seeking medical

attention because of their family history, their lives were saved due to early detection. By sharing their stories at our walk this year, they will undoubtedly help us spread awareness about the warning signs of a brain aneurysm and the importance of getting screened if you have a family history. We are extremely grateful to both of them and they should be commended for their extraordinary courage and strength.” Registration for the walk begins at 8:30 a.m. at Jones Beach State Park, Field 5, 1000 Ocean Parkway, Wantagh, NY. The start time is 10 a.m. and the event will be held rain or shine. The registration fee is $25 through September 9, $30 afterward. Entry fee includes the cost of parking and snacks. T-shirts will be handed out on a firstcome, first-serve basis. To pre-register for the walk, click here.

Farewell to Members

NASSAU ZONE 2 - NEIGHBOR NEWSPAPERS - WEDNESDAY AUGUST 9, 2017 • www.southbaysneighbor.com

During their final meeting as members of the Syosset Board of Education, Superintendent of Schools Dr. Tom Rogers and Board of Education President Dr. Michael Cohen presented

Museum Welcomes New Armor

The Museum of American Armor, located inside Old Bethpage Village Restoration, 1303 Round Swamp Road, Old Bethpage, is now home to a British World War II armor legend, the Dingo, an armored scout car that would have been found on the beaches of Dunkirk during the retreat of 1940 and helping liberate the Nazi death camps in 1945. “Of modest size, the Dingo was fast, reliable and literally served the British from the beginning of World War II to the end of that conflict. It was deployed in all theaters of the conflict, from the Libyan desert fighting Rommel to the British reconnaissance units that came upon the infamous Bergen-Belsen concentration camp as the Nazi Third Reich was collapsing. As a further

measure of its design, the Dingo continued to serve the British Army until 1952 and the armies of Portugal and Cyprus into the 1970s,” explained museum director Mark Renton. The Dingo is one of the vehicles found in the background of the current movie “Dunkirk.” Several hundred of these scout cars were left throughout France as the British were forced to abandon all their equipment while being rescued by a flotilla of Royal Navy ships and private vessels following German victories. The Dingo had 4-wheel drive for reliable off-road travel and also 4-wheel steering, giving the compact scout car an incredibly tight turning radius of less than 25 feet. The Daimler 6-cylinder engine could power the

Dingo to over 50 MPH, yet combined with a sizable fuel tank, was economical enough to give the car a range of about 200 miles. Its two man crew, a driver and a radio operator/ gunner, was protected by relatively light armor, but capable of stopping most enemy pistol and rifle rounds. The museum’s Dingo also carries a replica .303 caliber Bren Gun used by the British. Museum associate board member Eileen Daly Sapraicone explained, “The ability to create an Allied armored column that replicates the sights and sounds of World War II is one of the most compelling educational tools we have to recount the story of democracy’s courage, valor and sacrifice. Place it in this setting of Old Bethpage Village Restoration during special weekends when an environment so reminiscent of the WWII era countryside, and you have created a virtual time machine that ensures indelible memories for entire families.” The Museum of American Armor is open Wednesday through Sunday between 10:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m., admission is $12 for adults, $7 for children (5-12), seniors (60+) veterans, the physically challenged, and volunteer firefighters with ID. For more information go to www. museumofamericanarmor. org or friend them on Facebook.

Downtown Revitalization food truck nights, classic car nights, concerts, and much more. Councilman Macagnone added, “In partnership with community stakeholders, our Town Board has taken a leadership role in shaping the future of downtown Hicksville. I thank Governor Cuomo for investing in our vision to transform the downtown Hicksville community into a walkable city center that can successfully attract new jobs, new housing and keep our young people and

senior citizens on Long Island. I commend Supervisor Saladino and my colleagues on the Town Board for their dedication to this project and for working to enhance our community.” Councilwoman Alesia stated, “Through extensive resident input and in close coordination with Vision Long Island, the Hicksville Community Council, Hicksville Chamber of Commerce and Hicksville Downtown Revitalization Committee, the Town has proposed a new zoning concept for the Downtown Central Business District to create new jobs and housing opportunities. With these new State funds and the Metropolitan Transportation Authority’s $132 million investment in the Hicksville railroad station, we can transform

the Hicksville community into a vibrant downtown for millennials, downsizers, empty nesters and senior citizens alike.” Kevin Law, President of the Long Island Associated, added, “The Long Island Association commends Governor Cuomo, Supervisor Saladino and the Oyster Bay Town Board for their commitment to growing the local economy by investing in our downtowns like Hicksville.” Hicksville Chamber of Commerce President Lionel Chitty concluded, “It is truly wonderful to see this positive movement with the Hicksville Downtown Revitalization efforts. All the hard work done over the past seven years by the Downtown Hicksville Revitalization Committee, the Hicksville Chamber of Commerce, the local civic associations, the Town of Oyster Bay and all of the community stakeholders has finally paid off. This award will be a catalyst for future growth in Hicksville. We look forward to seeing Hicksville become a true destination where people can live, work and play.” Home to 42,000 residents, Hicksville is a transit-rich and diverse community located at the confluence of two Long Island Rail Road (LIRR) branch lines. The Hicksville LIRR train station is the busiest on Long Island, averaging 22,000+ commuter trips/weekday. The Hicksville Downtown has strong physical suitability for revitalization and redevelopment as evidenced by high LIRR ridership, intensity of existing commercial land uses, infill-ready parcels, converging arterial roadways and ample sewer and utility infrastructure. Hicksville is poised to capitalize on the strong Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) market and LIRR Third Track improvements through the implementation of a strategic zoning initiative, walkability enhancements, parking management and storefront beautification.

New Oyster Bay Town Supervisor Joseph Saladino, Councilman Anthony Macagnone and Councilwoman Rebecca Alesia today announced that the Town successfully won $10 million in Downtown Revitalization Initiative funds from Governor Cuomo and the Long Island Regional Economic Development Council for downtown revitalization in Hicksville. Supervisor Saladino stated, “Hicksville’s downtown is a prime location for revitalization, new jobs and new housing opportunities. These economic development funds will assist the Hicksville community and all of our residents by creating new jobs, new housing opportunities and by transforming downtown Hicksville into an attractive, walkable and bicycle-friendly environment. I thank Governor Cuomo for his commitment to our downtown and Councilmembers Rebecca Alesia and Anthony Macagnone for their dedication to advancing plans for downtown Hicksville. This puts the Town of Oyster Bay on the map across New York State!” The Local Planning Committee (LPC) – comprised of local and regional leaders, stakeholders, and community representatives – will establish and approve a community-based vision for revitalizing the downtown. Potential projects may include decorative pavers, attractive lighting, newly planted trees, benches street art and a homogenous street and storefront signage program to create a strong sense of place intended to celebrate Hicksville’s history and cultural diversity. Additionally, funds may be utilized for Complete Street initiatives that include new sidewalks and improvements to preexisting pedestrian pathways, footpaths, bicycle paths, bicycle racks and cross walks. Furthermore, the Town envisions the creation of a plaza area—large community gathering space to be used for events such as fairs, farmers markets, art exhibitions,

Girl Scouts Return to Headquarters

Girl Scouts of Nassau County (GSNC) announced today that it will return to its headquarters located at 110 Ring Road, Garden City, this August, after spending a year temporarily relocated in Hicksville, while their facility was being renovated. The headquarters - which houses the GSNC corporate offices, Cookie Cupboard and Girl Scout Shop underwent extensive upgrades, executed by design firm Danita Otruba Architect of Westbury. “We worked with our architect to ensure that our building would live up to the Girl Scout Mission

and Laws. Namely to make the world a better place and to use our resources wisely! This means we have incorporated architectural and design innovations that are environmentally friendly and will bring us into the future with a focus on giving every G.I.R.L. a place to flourish,” said Donna Ceravolo, CEO of Girl Scouts of Nassau County. “It is exciting for our organization, and we are thrilled to return to our newly renovated headquarters.” One brand new addition, the headquarters will now feature a “Living History” exhibit, containing a

collection of Girl Scout uniforms and treasures from the last century. The headquarters also received much-needed structural updates, including a new roof, new windows and updated insulation that will save costs related to utilities and security. In addition, the interior underwent several cosmetic changes, including updates to the kitchen area, a redesign of the existing Girl Scout Shop and program space, and a new Volunteer Resource Center. Regular Service Center & Shop hours are: Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.; Thursday, 9 a.m. to 8 p.m.; and Saturday 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Cruizin’ for a Cure Long Island Cruizin’ For a Cure will hold its 12th annual Car Show at 1400 Old Country Road in Westbury, a new location for the nonprofit organization. The show will be Sunday, September 10th from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. It is the only car show on the East Coast to offer men free onsite PSA screening tests for early detection of Prostate Cancer. A special program at noon will highlight the success of the nonprofit car show and the presentation of a check to Winthrop-University Hospital for prostate cancer research. Long Island Cruizin’ For A Cure promises to be a family-centered fun day. Back by popular demand will be STARDUST and the Food Court. Free features include a KIDZ FUN ZONE with radio controlled model race car track. Cruizin’ For A Cure, organized by Prostate Cancer survivors and community volunteers in 2006, is dedicated to raising funds for Prostate Cancer research, education and early detection. Since its founding Cruizin’ has donated more than $120,000 to WinthropUniversity Hospital and Cold Spring Harbor

Laboratory for research. A huge crowd will be attracted once again to the Lee Iaccoca Foundation Award winning car show, where more than 450 cars and vehicles are expected to be exhibited. Sponsors include Champion Motors, AutoQuip, Alure Home Improvement, Rallye Motor Group, Robert Chevrolet and Trinity Solar, with more sponsors to come. There will be a dedicated tent where the PSA Prostate Cancer screening tests will be conducted FREE by Winthrop-University Hospital. Volunteers wearing grey “Survivor” LI Cruizin’ t-shirts will be encouraging men at the show to take advantage of the onsite free bloodscreening tests. To date over 3,000 men have been screened at Cruizin’ For A Cure car shows and 148 of them with elevated PSA readings have been referred to their physicians for follow-up. “Last year 345 free PSA screening tests were conducted. Once again we plan to make a concerted effort to encourage men to take advantage of the free screening test. It will be a fabulous day with exhibitors, a KIDS FUN

ZONE, entertainment, vendors and sponsors. This will be our first year at the 1400 Old Country location, a slightly smaller location but vehicles will be parked on cement rather than dirt – a plus for the show participants. “Our volunteers, many of whom are Prostate Cancer survivors like me, are finalizing plans for a show that will delight people of all ages. The show’s popularity has been sustained because it offers something for everyone, not just car enthusiasts,” said Sandy Kane, Chair and Founder of LI Cruizin’ For A Cure Car Show. The September 10 car show promises to be a fun-filled family-friendly day. For car collectors and vehicle enthusiasts it’s all about rods, customs, muscle and classic cars, specialty vehicles, antique fire apparatus and motorcycles. Look for the 50/50 raffle; an expanded food court and much more. Admission is $5; kids under 12 are free.

to spark a conversation with someone on the Starbucks line about an upcoming event.” LIU Post undergrads are also incredibly “dedicated” and are always looking “to get involved on campus.” In terms of Campus Life, The Princeton Review notes, students are active in “athletics and intramural[s].” And many undergrads can also be found using the university’s fantastic gym facilities. Additionally, “sororities and fraternities are very popular.” “During the late spring and early fall, students love to go up the Patio of Hillwood Commons to lay out on

the lounge chairs and soak up some sun.” Finally, undergrads here appreciate how “accessible” New York City is for them. Any time they want to experience the excitement of the city, students can simply hop on a train and be there in no time! And students proudly report that “everyone generally gets along well with one another.” As one impressed undergrad illustrates, “Athletes not only respect those who are not involved in athletics, but also study, hangout, and participate in extracurricular activities with each other, and vice versa. [Conversely,]

those [who are] not on a sports team often come and support the athletes in their games and competitions.” The LIU Post College of Management has been rated by The Princeton Review as a “Best Business School” for the past 15 years. LIU has also been hailed by Forbes as one of 10 “Hot Colleges in the Making Under Innovative Management,” honored by US News and World Report as a Top Regional University, and recognized by the Equality of Opportunity Project as one of the top 20 selective private colleges on the “Overall Mobility Index.”

Best in the Northeast LIU Post was rated for the first time in the school’s history by The Princeton Review as one of the “Best in the Northeast” for 2017. LIU Post was rated as one of the top Northeast universities by The Princeton Review. According to The Princeton Review, the colleges on its lists are those “that we consider academically outstanding and well worth consideration in your college search.” “LIU Post is proud to be rated by Princeton Review as one of the best universities in the Northeast,” LIU President Dr. Kimberly R. Cline

said. “This is an important milestone on the continued upward trajectory of our University. LIU Post’s distinguished faculty offers students a world-class education with a focus on experiential learning that prepares them for success.” The Princeton Review selected universities for their prestigious list based on academics, staff visits, and 137,000 student surveys. As part of its rating process, The Princeton Review conducts anonymous student surveys to get unfiltered student views. LIU Post students surveyed said that LIU Post is a

school that’s brimming with “opportunities to further your educational experience.” Academically, undergrads benefit from “personalized attention” and “individualized instruction” as well as a “wide range” of course selection. LIU Post students surveyed also describe the student body as “hardworking, helpful, intelligent, [and] creative.” They also tend to be “very friendly.” And another individual adds, “Walking through campus you constantly see familiar faces, and there is always someone willing to talk to you. It [is] effortless

Golf Outing Set The Marty Lyons Foundation (MLF) Long Island Chapter will host its 19th annual Golf Outing on Monday, September 25th, at the St. George’s Golf & Country Club in East Setauket. The event honoree is James Booth, VP of JBH Environmental. The golf outing will be a fund raising event to benefit the Foundation’s mission, which is to grant children with lifethreatening or terminal illnesses their special wishes. Registration and continental breakfast will begin at 9 a.m. followed by a shotgun start at 10:45 a.m. The cocktail hour will begin at 4:30 p.m. followed by dinner. The Marty Lyons Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded by Marty Lyons, a former NFL defensive lineman for the New York Jets and member of the legendary “New York Sack Exchange.” Marty Lyons’ determination

led to the establishment of the Foundation after experiencing three lifealtering events in March of 1982. These moments forced him to “see the frailty, unfairness and the wonder of life.” With the encouragement of his family and friends, he formed the Marty Lyons Foundation in December of 1982. Since then, the organization has worked to keep hope alive in the hearts of thousands of children and provide support to their families. The Marty Lyons Foundation provides wishes to children aged 3 to 17 years old who have been diagnosed as having terminal or lifethreatening illnesses. MLF is unique in that it will consider granting a second wish to a deserving child who may need the hope and inspiration to face the battle of their lives for the second time around. Since it was established, the Marty Lyons Foundation

has granted 7,300 wishes that have brightened the lives of countless children. “By playing a fun-filled day of golf or attending the dinner, supporters help provide the Foundation with the much needed resources to fulfill its mission of granting children their special wishes. Though the outing is limited to 144 golfers, others are welcomed to join the festivities during the cocktail hour and dinner,” said Marty Lyons, Founder and Chairman of the Marty Lyons Foundation. For more information about the Marty Lyons Foundation LI Chapter’s 19th annual Golf Outing at St. George’s Golf & Country Club, 134 Lower Sheep Pasture Road, East Setauket, NY, please contact John Gaudio at 631.827.5198 or e-mail jrg726@ yahoo.com or Eileen Mayer at 631.834.7035 or email emayer@ martylyonsfoundation.org.

Today’s students arguably have more on their plates than any generation that came before them. But even with their hectic schedules, kids still have free time, which many are not always using in the healthiest ways possible. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, nearly one-third high school students play video games or computer games for

three or more hours on an average school day. Sedentary lifestyles can increase kids’ risk for being overweight or obese, and many parents struggle in their efforts to encourage their school-aged children to get off the couch and embrace physical activities. The following are a handful of strategies concerned parents can employ as they attempt to motivate youngsters to be more physically active.

Choose the right activity. Physical activity and organized sports are not one and the same. Kids can still be physically active even if they are not athletic or if they are simply not interested in sports. Find an activity kids can embrace, such as hiking, swimming or even riding bikes, and they will be more likely to get off the couch. Limit screen time. Kids spend lots of time in front

of computer and television screens, which can be detrimental to their overall health. Parents can place restrictions on the amount of time kids are allowed to spend surfing the Internet, playing video games and watching television, encouraging youngsters to spend time enjoying the great outdoors or playing with friends rather than spending it staring at a screen . Join in the fun. Parents

Motivation to be More Active can set positive examples by being physically active and even exercising with their children. Rather than retiring to the couch after dinner, take nightly walks or bike rides as a family. This is a great way to get kids off the couch, but also a great way to spend more time together as a family. Involve kids in your own pursuits. Parents who are weekend warrior athletes can involve their kids in their own activities. Take

kids along on weekend jogs, kayaking trips and so on, all the while explaining the important role physical activity plays in living a healthy lifestyle. Kind Words Kind words do not cost much. They never blister the tongue or lips. They make other people goodnatured. They also produce their own image on men’s souls, and a beautiful image it is. Blaise Pascal

Edutopia, 93 percent of teachers feel obligated or somewhat obligated to buy school supplies for their classrooms with their own money. The Education Market Association says that virtually all teachers wind up paying out of pocket for supplies. The amounts spent annually can be upwards of $1,000

per teacher. In addition, not all of the teachers funding supplies work in low-income districts. A report published in early 2016 by the Center for Budget and Policy Priorities found that many states now provide less financial support per student than they did before the recession

took hold roughly nine years ago. Districts forced to work under tight budgets are increasingly outsourcing the costs of supplies to parents. When parents fail to provide supplies, teachers are bearing the brunt of the costs to avoid seeing their students go without necessary resources.
