preading holiday cheer for all to hear, second-grade students at Harley Avenue Primary School in the Elwood Union Free School District sang songs and recited rhymes during their holiday concert. Gathered in the school’s cafeteria, administrators, teachers, family and friends were musically entertained as students, under the direction of music teacher Christina Long, sang nine holiday-themed songs. Congratulations on a great job!

Long Island Authors’ Circle A group of published Long Island writers has formed an organization to be known as the “Long Island Authors’ Circle.” The newly established ‘LIAC’ is currently composed of six charter members who have been published individually in virtually every fiction and non-fiction genre; from poetry and drama, to journalism and novels. The core group consists of four women and two men who hail from St. James, Northport, Dix Hills, Massapequa Park, and Smithtown. Their varied backgrounds include: Town Councilwoman, Newspaper Publisher, College Professor,

‘Twas the night of Christmas and all the humans have gone home, saddled with packages of presents and leftovers and happy memories of the past two days’ festivities. Me, I’m feverishly swimming laps around my bowl in a desperate attempt to work off the calories from my (multiple) meals and avoid this holiday weight gain I keep hearing so much about. I have to admit, I didn’t understand what the fuss over “Christmas” was all about. All I can say is my human never stopped running to and fro in the weeks leading up to the occasion. Every time she came home – late, I might add, resulting in my dinner being delayed yet again (insert impatient fin tapping here) – she would be carrying all sorts of bags, some filled with food, others with gifts, wrapping paper, greeting cards…
I decided I had better get something to show my appreciation for the great hospitality she has shown me over these last 10 and a half months. I had the human’s mommy pick out an oversized Snoopy stuffed animal, since I’ve noticed all sorts of plush toys around the apartment. The gift card read: To My Dearest Human, Jamie… Love, Your Buddy xoxo And people say I don’t show any gratitude! Me, I made out on the deal pretty well too. I received another gift card in my own personalized mini-stocking, along with a front row seat to Christmas Eve dinner, brunch the following morning and the unwrapping of the presents on Christmas Day. They even decorated my bowl with some flashy red and green bows that I mistook for fellow fishy friends. How exciting! My human has promised me
a proper shopping spree after the new year, and I can’t wait. Although, I must say, I’m fairly low-maintenance as pets go. No fancy castles and shrubbery needed for me – just me and my plant, a generous helping of flakes and maybe a weekly bath to freshen my bowl. Oh, and plenty of humanly love and attention, which I receive in spades. All in all, I am one happy betta. This Christmas thing was pretty exciting, and I hear there are more festivities scheduled for later in the week when a large glittering ball drops from the top of a building. Hopefully I’ll get a front row seat on the coffee table to witness that spectacle! Thanks again to all my readers – your support and fan mail means the world to my little finned self. Happy New Year… I’ll see ya on the flip side!

Literary Critic, Businessman, and Television Personality. Purpose of the Authors’ Circle is the exchange of information and ideas valuable to members in the execution and furtherance of their respective writing crafts. Communication is conducted primarily via email, though physical meetings are held when proposed and unanimously agreed to by the charter participants. Each of the core members may sponsor new Long Island candidates for membership if they have been published. When unanimously approved, nominees are invited to join the organization. The “Long Island Authors’ Circle” has no mandatory meetings or dues; no officers,
committees, or elections; no by-laws ... and participation in the group’s activities is at all times strictly voluntary. “We’re sort of like the free-and-easy ‘Algonquin Round Table’ established by Dorothy Parker, Robert Benchley and company,” said celebrity biographer, Richard Grudens, and poet-dramatist-novelist, Charlene Knadle, agreed. “This sort of ‘loosely structured’ group is often the most successful,” she noted. Journalist, Pat Biancaniello, pointed out that “… with the availability of modern electronic communications, a productive ‘meeting’ can be conducted in minutes, where once it would require hours, or days.” The author of eleven novels, member Jeb Ladouceur, said that he has resisted joining organizations

Suffolk County Executive Steve Bellone joined Community Housing Innovations (CHI) in launching the organization’s Fresh Start program. In an effort to address the growing problem of homelessness among New York families, this initiative allows the public to directly help the homeless through purchases of Bed Bath
& Beyond® gift cards through a special toll-free number; 844-52-I-CARE. As part of the kickoff for this program, Mr. Bellone presented the Harris family with the first-ever CHI Fresh Startfunded $100 Bed Bath & Beyond® gift card, which he personally purchased as a gift. Mr. Bellone and CHI are encouraging the public to follow suit, especially

during the holiday season. “The holiday season is an especially important time to realize that we’re all part of a larger family and we’re all going through tough times,” said Mr. Bellone. “There are things that happen in life that create difficult circumstances and that’s when the community matters. We’re all in this together; we need to work together and support one

another. I don’t know a better time to do this than during the holiday season. That’s why it’s great to be here with this wonderful family. I’m proud to be a part of this.” CHI also secured housing for the Harrises, a family of five – including children aged five, 16 and 17. The family signed the lease on the house in Bellport, New York during Thursday’s press conference with Mr. Bellone. The Harrises, who have been without a home for 14 months due to no-fault job loss and a sudden rent increase more than 30 percent, will move into their new house today, just in time to enjoy the holidays. “It’s always hard to deal with homelessness; this is my first time going through this,” added Nathaniel Harris, father of the family. “It’s really embarrassing when you struggle even though you work so hard. I worked

Thank you so much.” As the largest provider of housing for the homeless in suburban New York, CHI connected with Mr. Bellone and the team at Bed Bath & Beyond to encourage
individuals, families and businesses alike to purchase gift cards. One hundred percent of this anonymous, tax-deductible donation will be given to a family or individual currently living in a local shelter in Nassau, Suffolk, Westchester, Dutchess and Orange Counties to purchase household

Women of Distinction
Alzheimer’s Disease Resource Center, Inc. (ADRC) hosted its 31st Annual Holiday Gala & Women of Distinction Awards at Fox Hollow in
Woodbury, New York on December 1st. During the event, Mary Ann Malack-Ragona, ADRC’s Executive Director/CEO, honored
five Long Island women for going above and beyond in their efforts to support the organization’s mission. The award recipients were: • Randy Bet, ADRC’s
West End Walk for Alzheimer’s Cousins for a Cure team captain • Marijane Camilleri, President, Dear Little Dollies and Event Founder, Give From the Heart – Athletes for Alzheimer’s Endurance Events • Phyllis Ettinger, President, Royal Health Care, a sponsor company of ADRC’s Walk for Alzheimer’s and Annual Education Conference & Expo • Leann Noren and Pam Winter, Community Relations Directors at Somerset Gardens Senior Living Facility and Co-Producers of the facility’s Annual Chinese Auction, which

They also expressed their support for ADRC and told those in attendance how pleased they were to be involved with the group. “These five women are heroes in their own right and have truly made a difference in the lives of thousands of families struggling with either a diagnosis of Alzheimer’s, or are caring for someone with a diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease,” Ms. Malack-Ragona said.

Picturing Principals To commemorate the work and life of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., thirdgrade students at James H. Boyd Intermediate School in the Elwood Union Free School District, under the direction of art teacher Chris Warren, created artwork to depict Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s
Six Principals of NonViolence. In his principals, Dr. King believed that nonviolence is a way of life for courageous people. It seeks to win friendship and understanding, it seeks to defeat injustice, not people, it holds that suffering educates and reforms, it
chooses love instead of hate and it believes that the universe is on the side of justice. Beginning January 8th, 28 pieces of artwork created by Elwood thirdgraders will be displayed at the Concourse of the Empire State Plaza in Albany.

Taking the Oath Huntington Town Council Members Susan A. Berland and Eugene Cook, Town Clerk Jo-Ann Raia and Receiver of Taxes Ester Bivona will take their oaths of office and deliver remarks at an inaugural
ceremony to be held at 1 p.m. Sunday, January 3rd, 2016, at Walt Whitman High School. The program will also include musical selections by groups from the South Huntington School
Hispanic Heritage Winner
District. A reception will follow the ceremony. The public is invited to attend. Walt Whitman High School is located at 301 West Hills Road, Huntington Station.
Gabrielle Ramirez, a twelfth-grade student at Walt Whitman High School, is the third place high-school winner in Optimum Community’s eighth annual “Hispanic Heritage Month” essay contest. She was recognized today by Assemblyman Chad Lupinacci and Optimum Community representatives. Walt Whitman High School Principal John Murphy also spoke at the awards ceremony where Gabrielle read her winning essay on Dr. Antonia Novello and was awarded a Kindle Fire. For the eighth consecutive year, Cablevision’s Optimum Community and Olympusat, Inc. sponsored the “Hispanic Heritage Month” essay contest in recognition of the rich heritage of Hispanic Americans. Open to middle-school (grades 6 through 8) and highschool (grades 9 through 12) students, the 2014 contest posed the question,
“Name a Latino, past or present, with whom you would choose to spend a day and explain why.” Prizes include a $2500 cash scholarship (Grand Prize), a tablet computer (First Prize), a laptop computer (Second Prize) and a Kindle Fire (Third Prize). Olympusat, Inc. is the provider of such Spanish language channels as CubaPlay, Cine Mexicano, Enlace and TV Chile, all available on the Optimum en español programming service. “Gabrielle’s awardwinning essay on the struggles faced by Dr. Antonia Novello to become an influential physician and U.S. Surgeon General is both inspiring and informative,” said Assemblyman Lupinacci. “Thanks to programs such as Optimum Community’s Hispanic Heritage essay contest, students today have a greater realization of the many contributions made throughout the years by Hispanic Americans.”
“For the eighth consecutive year, Cablevision – through Optimum Community and in conjunction with Olympusat, Inc. – is proud to sponsor the ‘Hispanic Heritage Month’ essay contest,” said Cablevision Vice President of Public Affairs Jen Ostrager. “This annual contest provides young people with an opportunity to better understand the key role that Hispanic Americans have played in our culture. We applaud Gabrielle on a job well done.” “Olympusat is pleased to partner with Cablevision for the eighth year on this educational initiative,” said Olympusat, Inc.’s VP of Marketing, Natalie Rouse. “We enjoyed reading this season’s entries and congratulate Cara Yesko on her winning essay. As always, Olympusat aims to continue to provide the best in family-driven content for our Hispanic viewers in the U.S.”
Fresh Start Launch Continued From 5 SANTA VISITS - Asharoken got into the holiday spirit as Santa Claus arrived on Sunday for a visit at the new Asharoken Village Hall, where he spread holiday greetings and hearty “Ho, Ho, Ho’s” to all. Santa and Mrs. Claus were greeted by Asharoken Mayor Greg Letica and Village Trustees as he arrived on his sleigh from the North Pole with the assistance of the Northport Fire Department. Santa was warmly welcomed by Village officials, police, residents, and lots of happy wide-eyed children. Santa and his helpers distributed plenty of hot chocolate, cookies, oranges, lollipops and candy-filled stockings. Photo by: Steve Silverman

“There are 600 families in Suffolk County alone who are homeless, that’s a total of over 2,000 people,” said Alexander Roberts, Executive Director of CHI, during the press conference. “CHI serves 1,000 homeless people every night. We want to help these people as much
as possible, and now we have another vehicle to do so. You can help us provide a little bit of joy to our families, too. Thank you to Mr. Bellone for helping raise awareness of this initiative and also for his personal donation to the program.”

Aries, you are familiar with the expression, “Your eyes are bigger than your stomach.” This week you have bitten off a project that is just too much to chew. Enlist some help.

Virgo, no one will know what you’re like deep inside unless you share a few secrets.You don’t have to give everything away, but let some information slip out.

Santa came to visit Camp Pa-Qua-Tuck on Sunday, December 13th, bringing with him the joy of the season – and pancakes! Everyone had a smile on, thanks to the green and red decorations and the pretty Christmas tree.
While volunteers served breakfast, Santa and Mrs. Claus asked the kids what they wanted for Christmas and gave out candy canes. The fundraiser benefited Camp Pa-QuaTuck, a summer camp and weekend respite for
children and young adults with extra physical and mental needs. Many families attended the breakfast, which was run by The Moriches Rotary Club and staffed by volunteer students from organizations like
15
Jingle All the Way the Interact Club at the Center Moriches School. One young student, Isabella Burke, shared her experience as a waitress for the fundraiser: “It makes you feel bigger, like you’re doing something important,” she said. “It’s fun!” Over 300 guests were served a pancake breakfast and enjoyed the festive atmosphere. Children and families were also invited to visit with Santa Claus and Mrs. Claus, during which time they could have their pictures taken with the couple. “This year’s breakfast went much smoother than in previous years,” noted event coordinator Maureen Klersy of the Moriches Rotary. “It was faster, more fluid and less congested because we reorganized the workflow. I think guests were a lot happier
with the service.” As the breakfast crowd began to thin out, the Moriches Rotary took the chance to share some happy news and announced the addition of two new members; Laura Traina and John Gruber were applauded and congratulated on their acceptance into the rotary. Moriches Rotary and other community organizations help make Camp Pa-QuaTuck possible with their event coordination and sponsorship. Thanks to the support and participation in fundraising events, the camp is able to send several campers to summer sessions free of charge, so that they may enjoy a week-long vacation in a safe, encouraging environment. The campers engage in activities such as swimming, music and
movies, socialization, sports, and visiting the petting zoo on camp grounds. To learn more about Camp Pa-QuaTuck, please visit www. camppaquatuck.org or call 631.878.1070. The weekend respites are held for several weekends throughout the winter and spring.
Peridontal Health (NAPSA)-Taking good care of your periodontal health involves daily toothbrushing and flossing, plus a yearly periodontal evaluation. A dental professional, such as a periodontist-a specialist in the treatment and prevention of gum disease -can conduct the exam. To learn more, visit www.perio.org.

Living With Diabetes (NAPSI)—Chef Chris Smith (aka The Diabetic Chef), a graduate of the Culinary Institute of America and a person living with type 1 diabetes, may have good news for the nearly 30 million other Americans with his condition: Being diagnosed with diabetes doesn’t mean your life needs to lack flavor. There are many ways to prepare nutritious and delicious meals without sacrificing taste. In fact, Chef Smith worked with Equal
0-calorie sweetener to develop a digital recipe guide and tips to take the guesswork out of meal planning. Five other things he suggests: • Use your resources, including your health care provider, dietitian and Certified Diabetes Educator. • Understand the relationship between carbohydrates and blood sugar and learn how to manage them. • Monitor how much
sodium, saturated fat and sugar you consume. • Incorporate more fruits and vegetables into your diet. • Read nutritional labels—know what you’re eating. A variety of sweet and savory dishes that use Equal instead of sugar are suitable for people with diabetes and anyone who wants a healthy lifestyle. It tastes great in hot and cold beverages, on fruit or cereal, and in most recipes that use sugar.
Caring For Granite Countertops
Volunteers with special needs lent their helping hands at Camp Pa-QuaTuck on December 11th. AHRC workshop students checked off windowwashing, bathroom cleaning and general housekeeping duties from their to-do lists as they worked cheerfully for the good of the camp. Friday was AHRC’s second time working in tandem with the camp. Russell Smith, an instructor at AHRC, said the two organizations began working together via a suggestion from the camp’s
Treasurer, Newt Homan, who works for Suffolk County Transportation, transporting the AHRC students. Many of the volunteers have a personal connection with the camp, looking back fondly to the days when they attended summer sessions. “My favorite parts of camp were dancing, the talent shows and the camp fires,” said Crystal Concepion, a firsttime volunteer, who plans to return and help the camp prepare for winter in the coming weeks. Camp Director Bridget
Costello hopes to expand the volunteer program to former campers outside of AHRC to further foster the connection between camp and camper. Camp Pa-Qua-Tuck is a summer and respite camp for children and young adults with physical and mental special needs. Since the camp hosts respite sessions and fundraising events throughout the year, volunteers are always needed for various events. For more information about volunteering, contact johneen@ camppaquatuck.org.
(NAPSI)—Granite countertops are the most popular option available when it comes to kitchen or bathroom remodeling. They look great, they’re durable, but they can also cost thousands of dollars. Granite requires special care and attention because it’s a natural stone. Here are a few tips to help you protect your investment: • Seal your countertops: According to the Marble Institute of America, an industry group, granite countertops should be sealed so that the stone is more resistant to dirt and spills. Check with the manufacturer or retailer about the best kind of sealer to use on food preparation areas. • Be careful what
you clean with: Never use ammonia—based products-or cleaners containing vinegar, lemon or orange—on your granite countertops. Avoid abrasive cleaners such as dry or soft cleansers. Don’t use cleaning products that contain acid such as bathroom, grout, or tub and tile cleaners. Specialty granite cleaners can be used, but they can be expensive. There’s a way to stretch your dollars. • Mind your budget: JAWS Glass & Hard Surface Cleaner (www.jawscleans. com) cleans granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, glass and even your flat-screen TV. It’s also non-toxic and costs less than most other cleaners because each
JAWS product is actually two bottles in one. (The cartridge refill is attached to the bottle.) There are also some other basic preventive measures you can take to protect your granite countertops: • Use coasters: Place a coaster under all glasses, particularly those containing alcohol or citrus juices that can etch or dull the surface of many stone countertops. • Use trivets or mats: They’ll protect your granite countertop from hot dishes and help avoid scratches. Granite countertops can really add spark to a kitchen or bathroom. Proper care will keep them looking beautiful.

BE MORE POSITIVE, HAPPY, HEALTHY & SMART
AVAILABLE AT AMAZON AND BOOKSTORES NEAR YOU
That is what you will learn by reading, Positivity! Unlike other books regarding happiness, this book builds a foundation on being smarter, obtaining the skills necessary toward gainful employment and managing money successfully. How can a person be happy if they do not have a good job, cannot give a good speech and cannot invest wisely? In the highly competitive world in which we live, a foundation must be built that makes people happy and healthy. The foundation starts with positive thinking and a healthy lifestyle but it should be coupled with continuing education and prowess in accumulating and managing money. This answers the question, how can a person be happy in today’s world. “Reading Positivity is a game changer for every reader. The unique wisdom and philosophy of life that Harry Edelson shares proves that life can be easy and joyful for everyone. Imagine a world if seven billion people lived by Positivity! Thank you for sharing this masterpiece. Harry Edelson has figured out true keys to a good life – which is the one common denominator everyone wants. And I know, because I’ve interviewed over 400 of the top CEOs, and I see a lot of wisdom and very successful people…and Harry has truly figured it out. What a gift you offer in this book.” ROBERT REISS, HOST & CEO, THE CEO SHOW “As Benjamin Franklin said: ‘An investment in knowledge pays the best interest.’ The wisdom in Harry Edelson’s book is like finding a great investment. It continues to grow in value and will pay dividends throughout your life. This is the same philosophy that the brilliant investor, George Soros, has advocated through his Open Society Foundations where I served as a Trustee for many years” JOHN W. ALLEN, INT’L INVESTMENT BANKER AND CHAIRMAN OF GREATER CHINA CORP “The interesting thing about Harry Edelson is that he is usually the smartest guy in the room and what is amazing, the happiest guy in the room. His book tells it all and can be easily absorbed by adults and students alike.” ELIZABETH KABLER, TRUSTEE, ANNENBERG FOUNDATION TRUST AT SUNNYLANDS, FOUNDER, NY CENTER FOR LIVING
