New Year’s Eve Safety Tips Choose a spot that’s well lit and easily accessible to all, and confirm the location of the meetup spot via a group text message before heading out for the night.
NASSAU ZONE 2 - NEIGHBOR NEWSPAPERS - WEDNESDAY DECEMBER 28, 2016 • www.southbaysneighbor.com
New Year’s Eve is one of the most festive nights of the year. Many people spend the final moments of the year celebrating with family and friends. As joyous as such celebrations tend to be, it’s important that New Year’s revelers keep certain safety precautions in mind when celebrating the end of one year and the dawn of the next. Arrange for transportation in advance. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, an average of 304 people die in drunk-driving crashes in the days surrounding Christmas and New Year’s Eve each year. Before heading out on New Year’s Eve, celebrants should ensure their safety by arranging for transportation to and from the festivities. Choose a designated driver to drive throughout the night, or agree to utilize a taxi or shuttle service if everyone plans to consume alcohol. Men and women who volunteer to be designated drivers should be especially alert on the roadways, preparing to drive in potentially inclement weather and
being on the lookout for fellow motorists who might be driving erratically. If possible, take public transportation to and from the festivities so no one is tempted to drive after consuming alcohol. Pick a meetup spot in case anyone gets separated from
the group. New Year’s Eve celebrations in public places such as bars, clubs or town squares tend to become crowded as midnight draws near. It’s easy for groups of friends or family to be separated, so choose a meetup spot where everyone can gather after the ball drops.

Exploring the Origins of New Year’s Resolutions
For millenia, people around the world have commemorated the arrival of a new calendar year by adhering to various traditions. Once such tradition is making resolutions for the year ahead. Resolutions are promises to oneself geared around personal fulfillment and betterment. Resolutions are widely practiced, but some people may not understand the origins of New Year’s resolutions and why they have become the norm. Some historians tie the practice
of making resolutions to the ancient Babylonians. More than 4,000 years ago, the Babylonians celebrated the New Year in March rather than January. The spring harvest was in March, and a festival called Akitu, which lasted 12 days, was celebrated. An important part of the festival was the crowning of a new king. Special rituals also affirmed a connection to the gods. The Babylonians made promises to the gods, which included vows to return borrowed objects and pay outstanding debts.
Resolutions can also be traced to ancient Rome. The Romans were instrumental in creating a more formal calendar, and the start of the new year was moved from March to January (January and February were added to the Roman calendar under the rule of Numa Pompilius). Julius Caesar wanted to honor January’s namesake, Janus, the Roman god of beginnings. Janus’ two faces enabled him to look back into the past and forward into the future. Sacrifices to Janus were made, and worshipers exchanged gifts
with one another. A custom of setting resolutions began during this period as well, with Romans promising to be good to one another. Eventually, these resolutions were funneled into prayers and fasting when Christianity was adopted by the Roman Empire. Other religious parallels include the Jewish holiday of Yom Kippur, which is a day of atonement and reflection as celebrants examine their wrongdoings and seek forgiveness and to behave better moving forward. Yom
Kippur follows Rosh Hashanah, Judaism’s own new year. Resolutions also may be loosely tied to Medieval times. During this time, knights took a “peacock vow” at the end of the Christmas season. Each year, these knights would reaffirm their commitment to chivalry. Today New Year’s resolutions are largely a secular tradition, but they’re still connected to a desire to be a good person and put one’s best self forward.

of permanent housing, CHI extended her lease at that home for almost two years, enabling Ms. Nielsen to care for her children and get back on her feet. This month Ms. Nielsen and her family moved into a new home, independent of CHI. Due to the help she received at CHI, Ms. Nielsen was able to become the kind of parent she has always wanted to be. Her
older daughter was being bullied at school. She was able to get her the help she needed, sending her to a therapist and addressing it with the school. That same daughter will graduate early from high school this June and has already been accepted to Jamestown College in the fall. Her two younger children are

Often, families with special needs become trapped in a cycle of dependency, as their benefits alone are insufficient to maintain stable housing and they succumb to the stress of an impossible situation, devoting all of their time to finding the rent. In supportive housing, Ms. Nielsen not only gained affordable rental housing, her case managers and social workers helped with life skills, job training, health care, and linked her to a host of other community supports that contribute to stability and independence.

And a formerly homeless family of four will be spending their first holiday season in their new home in Mattituck, thanks to their efforts and assistance from the nonprofit Community Housing Innovations (CHI).

Why And How To Get A Better Night’s Sleep (NAPSI)—If you ever find yourself lying awake at night, you’re not alone—even if no one else is in the room. That’s because, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), more than one-quarter
of the U.S. population reports occasionally not getting enough sleep, while nearly 10 percent experience chronic insomnia. Why To Sleep Good sleep, says the CDC, can decrease the risk of sickness and
weight gain. It helps you think more clearly, decreases stress, and leaves you more energetic and productive. As these qualities improve, relationships tend to improve, too. Lack of sleep can be a problem on the job,
too. A study by the Law Enforcement Survival Institute showed that in a computer simulated shoot/don’t shoot situation, fatigued police officers were more likely to shoot when not necessary. What To Do
Many sleep specialists recommend these four steps: 1. Don’t drink caffeine late in the day. 2. Make sure your bedroom is a quiet, dark and relaxing environment; neither too hot nor too cold.
3. Make sure your bed is comfortable and don’t use it for reading, watching TV or listening to music. 4. Take a bath before bedtime. Concrete Concrete was invented by the Ancient Romans.

way toward them and that’s how I’ve accomplished a lot of things in the past six years,” said Ms. Nielsen. “That’s what I’ve taught my children to do too. We stick together and support one another. This growth and change starts in the home.” “I feel so grateful for my time at the CHI house in East Patchogue. I had never heard of a program like this that really turned my life around. I hope that house brings as many memories to the next family as it did for mine.”

The Closing Chapter By: Jamie Lynn Ryan
When you look back over the course of your life, there are often certain places that seem to stand out as the setting for your most treasured memories. For me, that place was always my grandparents’ house. From holiday gatherings to backyard barbecues, childhood sleepovers to Yankee baseball game viewing; countless events were centered on that old beloved split level. My grandparents had moved there in 1960, one of the first of their family to have had the opportunity to “move eastward” to the country-like expanses of Long Island from the cozy
confines of Long Island City. With them came my then eight year-old mother and my four year-old uncle, followed a number of years later by my aunt; and thus the perfect “starter” home became the setting for the decades of memories which followed, not only for them but for the next generation as well – myself included. Little did they know that the nearly vacant block they moved onto would grow into the close-nit community it is today, filled with neighbors and friends, and even a few family members, on the surrounding streets. Fifty-six years later, the house that became a home
to us all is no longer “in the family,” passed on to another young couple, moving from the city, looking to begin their lives in the suburbs in much the same way that my grandparents had all those years ago. Sure, it was only a house; but it served as so much more to all those who had the pleasure of stepping foot across its threshold. And so, with the end of 2016 comes the closing of yet another chapter for my family. Life goes on, to be sure; but some things leave a sizable imprint so that life – as it was known, and lived – is never quite the same. Farewell to #580… Thanks for the memories.
When it comes to natural gas pipelines, there’s no such thing as being too safe. Delivering safe, reliable natural gas service to our customers is our top priority. Pipeline safety is something we take very seriously at National Grid. Even though most lines are buried underground, that doesn’t mean you can ignore them. Keep your family and community safe by helping to prevent gas leaks. Always call New York 811 at 811 or1-800-272-4480 before you dig. Know the signs of a gas leak and what to do – if you smell gas, act fast. We’ve added a spoiled egg smell that makes natural gas easier to identify. Look for bubbles in standing water, a white cloudy mist or blowing dust, which indicates that an underground gas line may have ruptured; or, listen for a hissing, roaring or whistling sound. To report a gas emergency, call National Grid at 1-800-490-0045 or 911. www.ngrid.com/safety 318749N1228

ISLAND SPORTS PHYSICAL THERAPY Winter’s Might By: Joan Amato
Cold came down tonight Erasing the warmth of light fall days . . .
Helping our patients feel better since 1985
Winds react with wrath Reminding us of Sandy’s menace Howling like gods of old Warning us of days untenable Yet succumb to quiet, softness Among winter’s incoming fright . . . Bay waters recoil Roiled by the north wind Waters dance and churn in its fury Rippling its crests over and over again . . .
See What The Experts Have To Offer We always strive to reach our patients’ goals whether it is to run a marathon, or reach for a jar on the top shelf at the local supermarket.

Winter is on its way In the snow little kids will play Thermostats will be set on high to run. Holidays promise to be great fun. Order in the world is for what we pray. Under God’s rules we aim to stay. Together let’s unite here or far away. Year after year a star adorns the tree top, Our fireplace burns to let the kernels pop. Upholding the good old tradition I make with pleasure always my mission. Around the house and in the yard Music of bells and flutes become a part. Love and caring for one another Outs all fear that lately does bother. Sadness is not part of the deal. To believe and pray is a way to heal.

BIANCA very friendly and sweet black female kitten
Creativity and science came together at last weekend’s FIRST® Tech Challenge Scrimmage at Long Island Lutheran Middle & High School (LuHi). Teams, comprised of students age 12 to 18, worked alongside adult mentors to design, build, program and operate robots to play a floor game in an alliance format on a 12-foot by 12-foot field. FIRST Tech Challenge is an international program featuring hundreds of tournaments for more than 46,000 students in nearly 20 countries. Students demonstrate their problem-solving skills, creative thinking, teamwork, competitive play, sportsmanship and sense of community. Last weekend’s scrimmage was the first event in the 2016-2017
FIRST Tech Challenge season on Long Island. Qualifying Tournaments will be held in Lynbrook on Sunday, January 8th, 2017; Center Moriches on Sunday, January 15th, 2017; and Syosset on Saturday, January 28th, 2017. The Long Island Championship will be held in Smithtown on Saturday, February 11th, 2017. The FIRST Tech Challenge program is presented by SchoolBusiness Partnerships of Long Island, Inc. (SBPLI). The other three FIRST programs are already very active on Long Island and engage students from age six through 18 in the FIRST Robotics Competition, FIRST LEGO League and FIRST LEGO League Jr. SBPLI is proud to offer this fourth and final program in the FIRST progression
of programs. “LuHi was the perfect site to host the inaugural event of the season,” says FIRST Long Island representative, Janet Anderson. “They were a wonderful partner and we look forward to continuing our relationship with them to benefit the students of Long Island.” “The LuHi community is still buzzing about the FIRST Tech Challenge event,” says Ed Parry, Director of Summer Programs. “They loved the atmosphere and the people involved. We look forward to hosting this event in the coming years.” For more information on SBPLI or the FIRST Long Island Robotics, please visit www.sbplilifirst.org.

Representatives from 60 colleges and other industry organizations - including all four branches of the U.S. military - met with students at Nassau BOCES Barry Tech and were impressed with what they saw. Barry Tech students explored a wide array of future college and career choices during the school’s second annual College Fair. Students prepared well ahead of time, charting which schools offer programs of interest and developing a variety of questions. They grilled the reps on relevant topics from admissions requirements and financial aid to campus housing and activities. Among the colleges and institutions represented were Alfred
State College, Canton State University of New York, The Culinary Institute of America, Farmingdale State College, Hofstra University, Johnson and Wales University, Lincoln Technical Institute, Mercy College, Molloy College, New England Institute of Technology Queens College, Sacred Heart University and the Nassau County Police Department. “Our students did a lot of preparation for the fair, and demonstrated tremendous interest and involvement in the process,” said Barry Tech Guidance Counselor Madeline Falino. “I believe they made an extremely positive first impression.” “The Barry Tech students did a great job,” observed Canton State University Admissions Counselor

The Chorus, comprised of 50 young ladies who range in Girl Scout age levels from Brownies to Ambassador Girl Scouts, now have the opportunity to form a mentorship with GNC for future performances and to gain extended experience. “Imagine our good fortune when Catherine Azzara, the Director of the Girl Scouts of Nassau County Chorus, became a member of Greater Nassau Chorus. Everyone knew immediately that bringing these two groups together was an amazing opportunity,” said GNC Master Director 700 Harriette Walters. “One of the goals of GNC is education, the mentoring of young women in the art of a cappella singing and barbershop harmony.
We invited the Girl Scouts chorus members, present and past, to rehearse with us and to perform at our annual holiday show. They responded yes with sheer delight! What better way is there to showcase sisterhood through song? We are pretty sure that the audience loved it as much as we did!” GNC is a chapter of Sweet Adelines International (SAI), a worldwide organization of women singers committed to advancing the musical art form of barbershop harmony through education, competition and performance. Under the direction of Harriette Walters, GNC has become an award-winning international competitor, with 12 regional first place finishes and eight, top ten international finishes. Since 1960, the GNC has brought four-part a cappella music to Long Island.
