Unfortunately, as the numbers of homeless with special needs continues to grow on Long Island, there are no easy answers to the crisis. “The number of homeless households in Nassau and Suffolk Counties increased 25% in the last three years, from 548 households in 2013 to 682 households in 2016, according to the Long Island Coalition for the Homeless.” But the victories come one family at a time. 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). Regina Nielsen and her three children moved in to their new home on December 1st, five and a half years after she and her family ended up in a CHI emergency shelter. After six months in emergency housing, Ms. Nielsen was accepted into CHI’s supportive housing program, which provided her with the tools to gain

Working for the betterment of their own community, students in Wendy Herman’s class at Smithtown Elementary School in the Smithtown Central School District were tasked with creating a community project. The project required ideas and designs for a community center in Smithtown based on an area of need the students have witnessed. Students presented ideas to their
classmates with thoughtful insight on what would best serve their community. Presenting to their classmates serving as the “town board members,” ideas included a solar energy building, a park for students with special needs, a wildlife exhibit, a community crop center and a park where the community could gather without mobile distractions. They drafted formal
letter writing with persuasive phrases, which Mrs. Herman will send to representatives at the Town of Smithtown Town Hall for feedback. Students were asked to consider the cost, dimensions, and staff required to bring their vision to life. At home, the students created models, dioramas and posters to better illustrate their ideas.

Continued From 2 independence. 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.

Home for the Holidays Continued From 5 is provided under New York State’s Homeless Housing & Assistance Program, which allows CHI to acquire and rehabilitate properties to serve homeless families and individuals. “Six years ago, I couldn’t imagine being where I am today. I can never repay CHI for the help they gave me and my family,” said Ms. Nielsen. When Ms. Nielsen got
to CHI, she was homeless, nine months sober, and traveling almost daily by bus to Stony Brook Hospital to care for her premature baby girl, who remained in the NICU for three months. She also has a son who was one year old, at the time, and daughter, then 10. From emergency housing in Middle Island, CHI accepted her into the agency’s transitional housing in a home in East Patchogue. Due to
the lack 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 enrolled in their new schools and doing well. Her younger daughter, Rayna, has special needs and receives
occupational and physical therapy, and schooling that meets her needs. Now that both younger children are a little older and enrolled in school full-time, Ms. Nielsen is ready to start a full-time job. She is excited about the road ahead. “From my CHI case managers I learned to set small goals and work my 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.”
Quick Tips To Keep Your Car In Top Shape vehicle. Changing the Air Filter About every 10,000+ miles you put on your car, change the air filter. It can be easily removed and replaced as it’s generally secured with only a few metal clips. Lubricate Moving Parts Regularly lubricating your vehicle’s moving
parts such as door, hood and trunk hinges will not only prevent squeaking when you open or close them, but will keep them from wear or damage due to the constant movement and corrosion from wet weather. Prevent squeaks and corrosion from building up in the future by using
a water-displacement lubricant such as WD-40® Multi-Use Product. The new WD-40 EZ-REACH™ can make this process easier with its attached 8-inch flexible straw that bends and keeps its shape. Monitoring Tire Pressure If your car’s tire pressure is too low, you will wear out your tires more quickly
Get Ready with Gen Ready
and will get poor fuel efficiency. Tire pressure gauges are inexpensive and an easy way to determine the pressure in your tires. Find your vehicle’s recommended PSI and how to test it in the owner’s manual. Compare the number on the gauge with your vehicle’s recommended PSI and add
or release air to match it. Do this regularly on all four tires. Arm yourself with the right tools and you can save money by tackling easy car maintenance projects. For more information about how to make automotive repairs simpler, visit www. wd40.com/EZ.

Hauppauge High School’s Cosmetology Class recently offered paraffin treatments to students and staff for a small service fee. The funds collected will be donated to the family of New York City Police Officer Paul Tuozzolo who was killed in the line of duty. Going forward, the students will provide hair, skin and nail treatment services for a minimal fee on a bimonthly basis with proceeds earmarked for various Long Island charities. Hauppauge School District launched its Cosmetology Classroom at the High School last year. This special collaboration
between Hauppauge High School and Eastern Suffolk BOCES prepares students to take the New York Cosmetology Licensing Exam. Students spend the first year of a required 1,000-hour, two-year program at Hauppauge High School and the second year at Eastern Long Island Academy of Applied Technology at Milliken Technical Center in Oakdale. They learn about all facets of cosmetology in the program – including hair, skin and nails – in addition to fulfilling their English and Science requirements for graduation, which are embedded into the
curriculum. “This is a great opportunity for Hauppauge students to be able to complete the two-year Cosmetology Licensing Program,” stated Teacher Lara Andina. “Offering the Cosmetology Class in the High School is a costsaving measure for the District because it enables students to be educated in-house for the first year of the two-year program rather than transported daily to the Eastern Long Island Academy of Applied Technology at Milliken Technical Center,” described Hauppauge High School Principal Christine O’Connor.
Kindergartners in Sharon Weissman’s class at Branch Brook Elementary School in the Smithtown Central School District have been reading many different versions of “The Gingerbread Man.”
The class discussed story elements as well as similarities/differences between the books. The kindergarten students also served as book critics, voting on the versions they like best.
When the class gingerbread man, Ginger, disappeared for a few hours, the students brainstormed ways to find him. Luckily, he returned with a plate of gingerbread cookies for the class to enjoy.

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

Velocity Vortex
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.sbpli-lifirst.org.
Charitable Donations
Calling it, “among the most important charitable donations we make in the course of a year,” Ed Blumenfeld, president of BDG, is joined by his family and colleagues as he presents a check for over $21,000 to Beth Delli-
Pizzi of the Long Island Military Family Readiness Group which assists the families of those deployed on active duty and those G.I.’s recently returned. Based at the Farmingdale armory of the Fighting 69th, the Readiness Group
has become an important means of assisting military families that face a variety of issues. BDG challenged its employees to donate dollars and then applied a significant multiple to match those funds in making the contribution.
Monday at Racine
Teachers Federal Credit Union, one of the country’s largest credit unions, supports Team TFCU, an active employee community service group of volunteers. Recently the group contributed $3,000 to support Mondays at Racine Cancer Care Foundation located in Islip. On “Mondays” free beauty and wellness services are offered to men and women who are in chemotherapy and radiation treatment for cancer.
“In keeping with Team TFCU’s mission to make the lives of others better and happier, our credit union employees have succeeded in raising substantial funds to support the spiritual and emotional well-being of people dealing with the side effects of cancer and cancer treatments. The donation of $3,000 to Mondays at Racine Cancer Care Foundation will help lift the spirits of many people on every Monday, whether the salon/spa
provides a free massage, nail or hair care, a makeup session or a yoga class,” said Robert G. Allen, TFCU’s President/CEO. TFCU, with more than 260,000 members and over $5 billion in assets, is committed to supporting members of the community and notfor-profit organizations. For more information about this program call 631.698.7000, ext. 3695 or go to www.teachersfcu.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.

Art from the Heart Art is a powerful medium of expression. Particularly for the aging, it can present an opportunity to open up to outsiders what may be a lifetime of inspirational images never before shared. Thirteen artists who happen to be residents of New York State skilled nursing and assisted living facilities translated visions from their hearts and minds into winning entries of a juried art contest, now featured in a 2017 calendar, “Art from the Heart.” The annual calendar is the result of an art contest launched in 2004 by the Foundation for Quality Care, Inc., the New York State Health Facilities Association (NYSHFA) and the New York State Center for Assisted Living (NYSCAL). Residents of more than 335 NYSHFA/ NYSCAL member skilled nursing and assisted living facilities around the state were invited to submit
artwork. Proceeds from the calendar will help improve the quality of life for long term care residents at facilities across New York. Each NYSHFA/NYSCAL member was encouraged to hold their own art contest and was invited to submit up to two pieces of original artwork by their residents. The response was overwhelming, with more than 85 pieces submitted from across New York state. The judges included representatives from the New York State Museum and the Sorelle Gallery in Albany. Ranging in age from 57 to 97, the different backgrounds of the artists who submitted work creates a unique blend of artistic styles. Some are professional artists who have been drawing and painting their entire lives, while others discovered their talents after moving

into a long term care facility where they began taking art classes. “Our residents have shared such rich stories through their artwork,” said Richard S. Patterson, Jr., executive director of the Foundation for Quality Care, Inc. “The ‘Art from the Heart’ calendar provides a forum for these talented and interesting individuals to shine.” The 2017 “Art from the Heart” calendar can be purchased for $12 by visiting www.thefqc. org and www.nyshfa.org. The websites also include images from the “Art from the Heart” calendar. Proceeds from the calendar benefit the Foundation for Quality Care, Inc. a non-profit, grantsupported organization that focuses on improving the quality of care and quality of life in New York State nursing homes.
Piano Competition Launched A pair of Nassau BOCES Long Island High School for the Arts (LIHSA) piano students, Luke Gentil (Half Hollow Hills CSD) and Jeremy Kaplan (BellmoreMerrick CHSD), were featured performers at the Grace Music School’s official kickoff event for their Island-wide piano competition. The winner of the competition will earn $1,000 and will perform at Carnegie Hall. At the event, Mr. Gentil performed two of his original compositions, “Billade No. 2” and
“Gentil Invention No. 1.” Mr. Kaplan performed a medley of Billy Joel songs, beginning with “Waltz No. 2” from Fantasies & Delusions. He also performed the jazz standard “Blue Rondo a la Turk” by Dave Brubeck. “What more fitting way to celebrate Long Island’s aspiring pianists then having a piano competition,” said Grace Heaphy, director of the Grace Music School. “It gives them a chance to perform at one of the greatest music venues
in the world.” The competition will be held in April of 2017 at the worldfamous Steinway and Sons piano showroom in New York City. The winner will perform at Carnegie Hall in June. “We could not be more proud of these two flourishing musicians,” said LIHSA Principal Jack Lenson. “They are an excellent representation of the gifted youngsters that constitute our school. They are the embodiment of Long Island’s up-andcoming artistic talent.”

Onward & Upward (Hopefully) By: Jamie Lynn Ryan
It was the best of times; it was the worst of times. So was the year 2016, at times. And so we bid farewell, and look ahead to 2017 with the same mix of enthusiasm and anxiety, optimism and apprehension. All years are a product of their individual months, weeks, days, hours even. Highs and lows become woven into the fabric of our being and, somehow, intertwine into yet another chapter of life. As much as the collective opinion seems to hold that this past year was one of the
worst on record, for many reasons, I’m sure it held just as much hope and promise for others. It’s all a matter of perspective. Ultimately, each moment needs to be taken on its own, able to stand up by itself and not be compared and contrasted to the big picture. Too much focus on the future, and on things beyond our control, leads to missing those opportunities right in front of us. This is not to say that we should forgo any life plans we may have; but there is a balance. As we analyze and overthink, life marches on around us.
And so the goal, this year, should be to live, to experience, to embrace those moments swirling around us. And to savor them. Good, bad or indifferent, everything happens for a reason. We may not understand the dynamics of why, or what it may lead to down the road; but eventually, the path becomes clearer. The important thing is not to stray too far off the road in the meantime. The idealism in all of us suggests that the best is yet to come. Here’s hoping that 2017 is exactly that for everyone.

Yellow Dot Kits Available Sheriff Vincent F. DeMarco wants to remind residents that Yellow Dot medical information kits for vehicles and homes are available through his Office and may be obtained by calling the Sheriff’s Office’s Community Relations Unit at 631.852.3763. The kits are made available through the NYS Sheriff’s Association, in collaboration with local Sheriff’s Offices, and are distributed to the public free of charge. The Yellow Dot kit
contains a medical information card and a Yellow Dot program decal. Participants complete the card, attach a recent photo, place it in the glove compartment of their vehicle, and place the Yellow Dot decal on the rear driver’s side window. First responders arriving at the scene of an emergency will be alerted by the Yellow Dot decal to look for the medical information card in the glove compartment. It may also be used in a participant’s residence
to alert first responders when they enter someone’s home. The Sheriff’s Office has distributed than 10,000 Yellow Dot to County residents since the programs’ inception in 2013. For more information about the Yellow Dot Program, visit the Sheriff’s Office’s website at www. SuffolkSheriff.com and look under the Community Programs menu.

The winning trio/alliance comprised of PatchogueMedford High School Team #329 “Mohawks,” West Islip High School Team #871 “Robotechs” and finally Team #2875 “CyberHawks” of Cold Spring Harbor. The finalists were PlainviewOld Bethpage High School Team #353 “POBots,” Plainedge High School Team #527 “Red Dragons” and finally Wheatley School Team #2872 “CyberCats.” The Invitational is designed to showcase the benefits of robotics programs and STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) education to students, schools, communities and local businesses. As testing results and college entrances are now considered a measure of a school’s success, the implementation of STEM-focused curricula has become increasingly important to developing the careers of students, who can relate the skills learned from FIRST robotics to positions in the medical, business
and other professional industries. FIRST is leading the way for diversification in STEM fields. The robotics competition, according to SBPLI FIRST Robotics Competition CoDirector Debra Winter, is a “launching pad for future professional mathematicians and engineers. The program focuses especially on the importance of ensuring that young women and minorities are provided with a valuable technologyfocused education.” For more information on SBPLI or the FIRST Robotics Competition, please visit www.sbplilifirst.org.

Now in its fifth year, the FIRST® (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) Long Island Half Hollow Hills Invitational has become a staple of the local FIRST Robotics Competition season. The event, which this year was held on Saturday, November 19 at Half Hollow Hills High School West in Dix Hills, New York, with support from School-Business Partnerships of Long Island, Inc. (SBPLI), is a way for teams to face off using the previous season’s robots one final time before launching into the next build season. This year’s event featured 24 teams, which competed using the robots they built for the 2016 Long Island Regional FIRST® Robotics Competition, held in March, the challenge for which was dubbed was FIRST StrongHold™. This past season, and at the Invitational, FIRST robots battled on a 27-by-54-foot playing field on which participants earned points by accomplishing set tasks. Some of the goals included traversing obstacles, throwing “boulders” into various openings of the

How To Keep Cozy When You’re Out In The Cold (NAPSI)—Here’s hot news: While extreme cold weather can be dangerous, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and can lead to hypothermia, frostbite and trench foot, you don’t have to suffer through it, even if you spend a lot of time outdoors in the colder months. That’s because you can get battery-operated hand, foot and pocket warmers to keep you cozy when it’s cold out. They make great gifts for the holidays, to
show the warmth of your affection. Outdoor enthusiasts of all sorts, outdoor workers, football fans, skiers and iceskaters can keep their toes, hands and other parts cozy for a few hours or a full day. These high-tech, wireless, battery operated products can keep you warm no matter what you’re doing out in the cold. For convenience as well as comfort for your feet, ThermaCELL Heated Insoles have three temperature settings that
are controlled by a wireless remote for easy adjustment without removing your shoes. It’s designed to hang from belt, key chain or zipper and is small enough for your pocket. You can fix the temperature on the insoles remotely from Medium (100° F) to High (111° F) to no heat. They are equipped with high-tech wireless thermal technology and will last well over 500 charges. They come in five sizes and can be trimmed to fit most types of boots
and shoes, from women’s size 4.5 to a men’s size 13. The ProFLEX version even has a rechargeable, removal battery covered in Poron, an antimicrobial, shock-absorbing cushion. You simply pull out the old one and put in the spare. The small (for hands) and large (for pockets) ThermaCELL Heat Packs have three temperature settings reaching 116° F. Put them inside your gloves, pocket, hand muff, hat—or any place that could use some warmth.
Unlike disposable, airactivated hand warmer packets, they provide constant, regulated warmth. An LED light indicates the temperature setting. Advanced heat sensors maintain consistent temperature for up to six hours per charge and recharge hundreds of times. The heat packs have lithium-ion polymer batteries that fully recharge in less than four hours and are completely wireless, requiring no external
straps or battery packs. They are water resistant and protected against moisture and perspiration. Learn More For further facts, visit http://heat.thermacell.com or call (866) 651-7579.
Substance Abuse (NAPSA)-The more you know about substance abuse, the better you can prevent problems. You don’t have to deal with addiction alone. Learn more at drugabuse.gov.
