HOW TO BE A HERO
SUBMITTED BY: LAURA WALTERS, AGE 15 • LINDENHURST HIGH SCHOOL Have you ever wondered what it would be like to be a hero? I know I have. Wouldn’t it be cool to run into a burning building to save a little baby or catch the criminal? We all know the definition of a hero: A courageous person who helps others without thinking of him or herself or the consequences that may follow. Also, everyone under the sun knows heroes are brave, selfless, caring, etc. But, have you ever thought maybe that’s just not enough? How can something so incredibly important to society have such a short definition and description? That’s because it’s wrong. A hero is an ordinary person who can and will go out of his or her way to help, care and solve people’s problems .... basically, anyone. I bet at least one, if not every teacher you had, told you to be kind to one another, and that you never know what someone else is
going through. I just never knew that person would be my best friend. She had some problems. She lives about thirty to forty-five minutes away from me. We didn’t go to the same school, nor have any mutual friends. We met through our parents. I never knew how close I could grow to someone who lived so far. We can talk for hours. Well, when talking for hours, you run out of things to say. When I asked how school was, I knew it was the worst and best thing I could ask. She admitted she constantly felt uncomfortable in school. She was jealous of all her peers’ happiness. Her parents were fighting a lot, she was bullied, and there was also the secret. This secret was one I knew for a long time and promised to keep to this day. Let’s just say it got to her. She became depressed and cut herself. I, being the friend I am, did what
I needed to do. I told. I told my mom to tell her mom to get her to a therapist. What I didn’t do is tell her secret. I never break my promises. I just told her she was getting bullied and cutting. But this, to any parent, is traumatizing. Long story short, it took three years, but I got her through it. But what does this have to do with heroes? Well, now I consider myself a hero. So does my friend. I’ll never forget the day I got the text: thanks for saving my life. Not to be selfish, but what I did took guts and time. I selflessly got my friend through, by far, the roughest time of her life. I think I am a hero. What I’m trying to say is that even the stupidest thing can keep someone from self-harm. Even the happiest of people go through depression. Please be kind to others, and be a hero by simply listening.

The strength of the girls varsity gymnastics team has been undeniable this year as the combined talent catapulted the team to second-place in the Nassau County Championship, and sent three standouts to compete in the New York State tournament, a feat not seen in nearly 10 years, according to coach Mike Capone. “Usually we have at least one team member qualify for the states, but it’s been about a decade since we’ve had three qualify,” Capone said. Massapequa High School junior Allison Wick, freshman Gillian Murphy and Berner Middle School eighthgrader Heidi Baldinger each competed in the state
tournament in Buffalo, February 27th and 28th. Gillian competed in all four events: floor exercise, vault, uneven bars and balance beam, and placed 10th in the state on vault with a score of 9.35. Both Allison and Heidi competed on the floor exercise and “performed well,” according to Capone. The first state tournament for all three girls, Capone said, “It was a real eye-opener, and now that they have more experience, next year’s season looks as good as this year’s or even better.” Also contributing to the team’s success, especially at the county championship, were strong performances by junior Sarah Woods, sophomore Natalie Murphy
and senior Emily Caulfield, who finished her high school gymnastics career by competing in all four events. The team ended the season with a record of 9-2. Capone, who has coached girls gymnastics for 39 years, said, “In all my years coaching gymnastics, this year’s team ranks up there as one of the top five teams. My biggest problem was deciding which seven girls to put in the lineup because so many of them were that good. Not only were they strong athletically, their chemistry was unbelievable. They all, hugged and supported each other and really fit well together, which is a great quality to have in a team. I look forward to having them all back next year.”

Advancing To State Seven Berner Middle School students will advance to the statelevel of the Odyssey of the Mind competition in Binghamton, NY, April 11th, after impressing judges at the regionals at Nassau BOCES Rosemary Kennedy School in Wantagh. Odyssey of the Mind is an international educational program that provides creative problem-solving opportunities for students from kindergarten through college. Team members solve problems such as
building mechanical devices or presenting their own interpretation of literary classics and compete on the local, state, and world levels. Team members Jack Graziano, Samantha Carroll, Jillian Spurrell, Kathryn Welgarz, Tatum McMillan, Dennis Faiella and Olivia Poucell used their creativity to solve the problem titled “Lose Your Marbles,” which required teams to design, build, and test a structure, made only of balsa wood and glue, to balance and
support as much weight as possible. The team had to incorporate weight placement and “losing your marbles” into the theme of its performance. Team advisor Brian Rossi said, “These students worked extremely hard to prepare for the regional competition. They stayed at school every day for two weeks until 5:30 p.m. to rehearse and build props for their presentation. They were jumping for joy when they found out they were going to states. I am very proud of them.”
ADVANCING TO STATE - Advancing to the state Odyssey of the Mind competition are Berner Middle School students, from left, Dennis Faiella, Tatum McMillan, Jillian Spurrell, Jack Graziano, Samantha Carroll, Olivia Poucell and Kathryn Welgarz. With them is advisor Brian Rossi.

What if there was a dental plan for only $99 a year that could save you half off your dental bills and had over two thousand dentists to choose from in New York? You would probably say, “What’s the catch?” Cindy Mirman of Ronkonkomabased EDP Dental Plan says, “There is no catch.” EDP Dental provides individuals and families
who do not have access to standard dental coverage through work with a discount dental plan that has more than two thousand great New York dentists to choose from, and discount fees on all dental work that can save members an average of half off their dental costs. Mirman adds, “EDP Dental Plan has been providing this type of coverage to thousands of Long Islanders for over 10 years. There is no reason to pay full price for dental care now that EDP Dental Plan is available to everyone, regardless of age or employment. With just a cleaning, exam and x-ray, you will save more moeny than the plan costs for the entire year.” Call for more information and a list of participating dentists at 631.272.5230, or visit www. edpdental.com.

Meet Your Neighbor!
Take a deep breath. It calms the mind. That’s what they say anyway. Hence, my newfound appreciation for the art of yoga. It forces you to breathe, to meditate, to clear your mind of all unwanted stresses. Breathe in, breathe out. And repeat. It all started when, after 20 years of dancing, I decided that I needed something else to fill my time, to bring me back to that place where I felt like I was in shape, in control and in sync with my surroundings. After long days at work on deadline,
I settled into somewhat of a routine, using the classes to de-stress and unwind. Then came the winter, that vast, endless stretch of bitter cold, spurring the urge to hibernate until the first flowers decided to bloom. Unfortunately, stress doesn’t wait until spring, and so, come March, back to yoga I went. The first few weeks were a bit rough, what with the creaking bones and stiff muscles and, well, just a general laziness and lack of motivation. But, like magic, after getting back into a bit of a routine, there it was – that old familiar feeling of inner peace. For a few minutes anyway.
The key, I suppose, it to find a way to bottle that feeling and be able to call upon it when needed, to apply it to the world beyond my yoga mat. Perhaps that comes with practice. More practice than the once-aweek, sporadic schedule I have assembled for myself. One can only assume. One day at a time. One class at a time. One deep breath at a time. That’s all any of us can focus on in our infinite quest to find that deep, soul-searching sense of meaning to it all. No stress, no judgment, no pressure. Just you, alone with your thoughts. Breathe in, breathe out. And repeat.

Awarded For Service
Active Parenting Group
Massapequa High School senior Kaitlyn Persico and, for the second time, junior John Latini were recognized for community service by the 2015 Prudential Spirit of Community Awards Program. The awards salute the contributions made by young volunteers and recognize them as role models among their peers. After logging in hundreds of community service hours, Kaitlyn was honored with the President’s Volunteer Service Award, presented on behalf of President Barack Obama. John, who received the President’s Award last year, was named a Local Honoree for his service to the community. For the past six years, Kaitlyn has volunteered as a teacher’s assistant and tutor for students at the Great Neck Road School in Copiague. Because the school did not have an American Sign Language (ASL) program, Kaitlyn
started one. As vice president of the American Sign Language Club, Kaitlyn helps coordinate sign language events for the community, such as signing at holiday concerts. She hopes to pursue a career in sign language and has applied to some of the most prestigious sign language programs at the collegiate level. She also has been an active member of the Shared DecisionMaking Club for the past four years by bringing a students’ point of view to different issues as a way to promote a more positive school culture. As a Key Club member, she assists with various events that benefit the community. John is a Boy Scout who is will soon become an Eagle Scout. He devotes much of his time to Canine Companions for Independence by raising puppies and training them to be companions for people with disabilities. He also takes in and cares
for companion dogs that are in training when their owners go out of town. John works actively to help defray the $50,000 price tag of training a dog, either through fund raising efforts or working with others in a group to share the cost of training a dog. A member of the varsity swimming and diving team since eighth grade, John has used his swimming skills for the past year and a half to help children with special needs get over their fear of water and learn how to swim. He also helps train swimmers for the Special Olympics. “Kaitlyn and John are two exemplary role models who have truly made a difference in their community by selflessly devoting their time and talents,” said Massapequa High School Principal Dr. Barbara Williams. “We applaud their outstanding efforts and hope that their peers are motivated to follow suit.”
not automatically make us effective parents. Parenting, like any other skill, is something we learn, and learning “on the job” can be frustrating. As parents we become confused when, after constant repetition of the same theme, children still do not respond. “Active Parenting” is perhaps the most effective program ever offered in the “how to” of raising children. YES Community Counseling Center will
be conducting an Active Parenting program for parents of elementary school age children at our Massapequa office located at 75 Grand Avenue, beginning Wednesday, April 15th, from 7 to 8:30 p.m. for six weeks. The cost of the program is $75. If you are interested in attending please contact Kathleen Coletta at YES Community Counseling Center at 516.799.3203. Registration is on a first come, first serve basis.

If you were faced with the responsibility for designing and building a home, would you consult a builder? Before piloting a plane, would you want to take flying lessons? Would you seek medical training before attempting heart surgery? If the answers seem obvious to you, consider this: Should your skills as a parent be learned only through “trial and error”?

Volunteers Needed Anyone interested in protecting and enhancing Tobay Beach can join with fellow volunteers and Town officials at the Annual Tobay Beach Dune Stabilization Project, slated for Saturday, March 28th, at 10 a.m. This environmentally important dune grass planting project helps protect the Town’s
fragile beach dunes from erosion. Recent storms, particularly Hurricane Sandy, have had a significant impact upon the dunes and this project goes a long way to shoring these sandy barriers for future generations. The planting of grass is extremely helpful in stabilizing and building dunes because it provides
a natural buffer against storm surge and high winds. Ultimately, all the volunteers feel pride in knowing they have done something tangible to protect the delicate ecosystem of the beach and surrounding areas. More than a thousand volunteers showed up for the event last year and planted more than 230,000
stalks of dune grass. I hope we have even more hands helping this year.” Throughout its long history, the Town of Oyster Bay Dune Stabilization Project has not only benefitted the environment, it has also provided an excellent opportunity for community groups and volunteers to take part in
a worthwhile endeavor. Many Town residents realize the importance of this project and parents have taken the opportunity to teach their children about protecting our environment for future generations. It truly is a team effort that leaves participants with a sense of pride and accomplishment.
As a Town of Oyster Bay resident I am always proud to see the enthusiastic and unselfish response of our residents at this event. Anyone interested in volunteering or seeking more information should contact the Department of Environmental Resources at 516.677.5943, or visit www.oysterbaytown.com.

NORTH MASSAPEQUA - SOUTH BAY’S NEIGHBOR NEWSPAPERS - WEDNESDAY MARCH 18, 2015 • www.southbaysneighbor.com
Massapequa High School Robotics is making its mark nationwide and internationally as teams 9458A and 9458C, both called “Robo Chiefs,” head to the CREATE Robotics Open National Competition in Council Bluffs, Iowa, April 7th9th and team 9458A advances to its second consecutive VEX Robotics World Championship in Louisville, Kentucky, April 15th-18th. Team 9458A earned the opportunity to compete on a global scale, against 800 teams from 26
countries, after winning the Southern New York State Championship held at East Rockaway High School in March. Both tournaments are VEX Robotics competitions and are designed to challenge middle and high school students in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) to compete in an engineering problem in the form of a game. Teams use the VEX Robotics Design System to build robots designed to score the most possible points.
This is the second world competition for 9458A team members Adam Carrero, Roberto DePietro, Sarah Goklevent and Shane Murphy, all juniors, and the first for team members Corinne Marsh, a senior, and Ben Coleman and Christian Niebling, both juniors. Members of team 9458C, who will compete with team 9458A in the national competition, include seniors Shannon D’Andrea and Christina DeLuca, sophomores Dan Foy, Joe Mann, Andrew Martello,
Justin Pepe and James Pfail, and freshman Sean Mitchell. “The teams’ success is attributed to their hard work in the design, testing and redesign of the robot,” said coach Brian Vanek. “The students spend over 100 hours working on them throughout the year, plus many hours at home researching information. The fact that they will compete against teams from around the country and the world is a testament to their dedication and teamwork, and the exceptional job they are doing this year.” In addition to becoming tournament champions at the Southern New York State Championship, Massapequa also became tournament champions at the Freeport Robotics Competition and at the Schreiber Vikings VRC Invitational Competition, and won the Judges Award at the Adelphi VRC Qualifier and the Design Award at the Jericho Hawks VRC 2014 Skyrise
Competition. To steer students to success, Massapequa School District introduces robotics as early as elementary school in the district’s academically gifted program, Magnet. In middle school, every seventh- and eighth-grade student studies robotics in their technology education classes. Robotics clubs at the middle and high school levels are offered during the school year and a one-week camp for middle schoolers, coached by Vanek, is offered in the summer. The high school level also offers robotics as part of the Principles of Engineering course and
the Product Design and Engineering (Robotics) course, and is introduced in the Digital Electronics course. According to Susan Thompson, chairperson of Career & Technology Education for the district, many students take the steps to join the robotics teams by taking advanced courses beginning with Design & Drawing for Production in ninth grade. The course teaches students to draw in a 3D modeling program and print design prototypes on a 3D printer, which can be used to create parts and build the robot.

The Fish In The Dish
Send Us Your Best Pics To Be Featured
By: Milicent G. Tycko
A fish in scaly armor Lay gasping on the plate It wriggled and fluttered its gills As it muttered “better not to wait” The cook has returned with potatoes From her numerous shopping trips And that gleam in her eyes Makes it hardly a surprise She’s preparing to cook fish and chips
So down through the sink Went the fish who could think And because of his courage and pluck He escaped to the sea And forever was free What fantastic and marvelous luck

Soles Of Shoes By: Lisa Osma
Assorted sizes lazily sprawled about the floor Leaning upon one another, holding each other up Velcro undone, laces loosened and splayed Soles bent, tongues pulled out Proud scuffs tell their stories Grass stains, splattered paint, city subway dirt Each pair worn from their travels Tired from their journey Reunited by the moon They relax Until the morning sun beckons them away

With a heave and a sigh Crying “oh my” That fish leaped to the nearby sink By using my brain I will Swim down this drain To the ocean so blue, I do think If they catch me once more I’ll lie on ice in the store And wait to be chopped for a dish I hear it will be Pesach quite soon So I might become tasty Sweet gefillte fish
