Crisis Counselor Training Everyone has moments when the support and understanding of others seem hard to find, and it is for such moments that RESPONSE of Suffolk County, Inc. was born. RESPONSE of Suffolk County is a nationally accredited, non-profit agency that provides a confidential and anonymous hotline for anyone who needs to talk. RESPONSE is seeking volunteer crisis counselors and will offer a free training program to those interested in becoming the caring voice on the other end of the line. Part one of the training program will be held on Saturday, April 2nd and Sunday, April 3rd, and continues on Saturday, April 9th and Sunday April 10th. Sessions will run from 9:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. each day
and trainees must attend all four sessions. Training will take place in the Stony Brook area. No experience is necessary, only a sincere willingness to learn and grow, and the ability to make a six-month commitment of four hours a week is required. Response provides two types of telephone assistance lines and both are heavily dependent on volunteer talent. The crisis intervention hotline takes over 20,000 calls each year about a wide range of subjects – substance abuse, domestic violence, depression, family conflict, grief, suicidal thoughts among many others. The support line provides over 5,000 telephone “visits” yearly to individuals who are homebound or have limited social support due to a
physical disability or mental illness. Training for both the hotline and support line counselors includes lecture, role-playing exercises, and private and group supervision. College credit is available and bilingual volunteers are especially needed. Make a difference in our community – one phone call at a time. Volunteer as a telephone counselor with RESPONSE of Suffolk County and become the caring voice on the other end of the phone! Those interested in attending the up-coming training can visit www. responsehotline.org for more information or call the hotline at 631.751.7500. Please apply early, positions are limited.

Strolling Into Spring By: Jamie Lynn Ryan March. That month of transition. The beginning of spring and all things new. A rebirth of sorts. Or so we convince ourselves, anyway. Why not January, or February? I suppose weather has as much to do with our moods as any internal factors; and, while March makes no promises with regard to its atmospheric conditions, I think we can safely assume that the worst of winter is now behind us. There is something about the blossoming of trees and flowers, the lengthening of daylight hours, the greening of the now-barren grounds… it signals a revitalization of the year as it stands, a pause in the monotony, a gradual phasing out of the state of hibernation many of us have
been mired in since the holiday season. Just last weekend, I took the time to stroll along two of our pristine Long Island beaches – one on the outskirts of Northport, and the other out on the North Fork. Sure, it was a bit brisk and barren; but just to experience the fresh sea air, to feel the sand beneath my (sneakered) feet, to gaze out onto the crystal blue Long Island Sound… there is something to be said for venturing outside and exploring. That said, it would’ve been nice to have maybe just a couple more snow days to vegetate with a clear conscience, to stay under the covers and catch up on Netflix. The one true “blizzard” was exactly that, one and done, over a weekend. Kind of a waste. The rest of the “snow
days” were more of a minor inconvenience, not nearly enough down time to truly capitalize. That’s the thing about time. When we have it to spare, we don’t often utilize it to its full potential, choosing instead to waste it idling away the hours on trivial things like sleep and mindless chores. Instead, choose to take that leisurely drive, set out on a new adventure to an unexplored corner of the world – even within your own neighborhood. Take pictures, read books, paint, write a song… do things you’ve always wanted to do, today. Tomorrow may be partly cloudy with a chance of rain; but that also means there’s at least an equal chance of sun. May spring be that season of hope for everyone.

Student Spotlight SKETCH SUBMITTED BY: JAIDEN FRASER, GRADE 6, BAY SHORE MIDDLE SCHOOL
NOTHING, An empty blank piece of paper, looks white and blank, A rough surface with smooth sides, Tastes like emptiness, looks like sorrow. No noise, no sound, Alone and sad until... THUMP, THUMP, THUMP, A person enters the room, with a pen, Anxiously, as if the lottery had been won, and sits in the chair,
CLICK, The pen pushes out its points, its wet ink touches my surface, It glides across, writing words and drawing music notes, Starting to look full, Feels like excitement and happiness, Tastes like joy and sounds like bells, FINALLY, happy, I have joy, I am as happy as a child, on Christmas Day. I am now filled, With words.

Long Island Fight for Charity, one of Long Island’s most popular and most unique charity fund raising and networking organizations, recently held a Boxer Appreciation and Charity Donation Presentation at SimPlay in Hauppauge to give check donations amounting to over $160,000 to representatives of several Long Island-based charities. Long Island Fight for Charity Co-Founder and Chairman Jamie Austin presented the donation checks to board members of Long Island Community Chest, $60,000; the National Foundation for Human Potential, $20,000; Genesis School, $20,000; ROHHAD Fight Inc., $63,356 and Captain Kathy Mazza/Lodge 2163A, $2,210. The funds were raised in 2015 by the Long Island Fight for Charity through its year-long series of events, particularly its 12th Main Event in November when over 20 businesspeople donned boxing gloves and met each other in the boxing ring
at the Hilton-Long Island. Fight for Charity’s Main Event drew a record crowd of over 1,000 fans, alumni boxers and representatives of corporate and restaurant sponsors and committee members and volunteers to make it one of the organization’s most successful fund raisers since 2003. To date, over 275 men and women have earned the title of LI-FFC Alumni Boxer. “The presentation of donation checks to the five Long Island charities is a culmination of the commitment and effort put forth by our 2015 volunteer boxers and all the people involved in making the LIFFC mission succeed. Our 12th Main Event was exciting and successful due to the kindness of the sponsors and the many volunteers who participated, especially our boxers. I hope these selfless individuals will serve as an example to other businesspeople as we call for volunteers for the 2016 line-up of boxers,” said Jamie Austin, Chair of LIFFC and Director of
Online Business Solutions at Protravel International. Fight for Charity Boxers are business professionals who believe in “giving back” to the community in a meaningful way. The men and women volunteers went into serious training at five participating gyms to prepare to go toe-totoe with their opponents at the Main Event. There were a series of events held leading up to the Main Event, which featured a boxing card with 13 bouts, networking opportunities, exciting ringside fun and plenty of food and beverages provided by local restaurants. Long Island Fight for Charity is accepting applications from individuals interested in becoming a 2016 volunteer boxer.

Each ranger is required to reside within the ranger district in which she/he is assigned but emergencies and special events will require them to work anywhere and at any time. Quite often, rangers are asked to assist other agencies with complex emergency or law enforcement incidents that have occurred in or near a forested area. Since New York has 18.6 million acres of forested lands, rangers are busy year-round accomplishing their unique mission. Ranger Nally has served with distinction in DEC’s Division of Forest Protection since graduating from DEC’s 19th Law Enforcement Training Academy in 2013 where he was assigned to patrol the eastern Towns of Suffolk County. Ranger Nally’s patrol responsibilities include protection of natural resources from wildfire and enforcement against illegal ATV activities and off road vehicle use, illegal dumping activities and enforcement of hunting regulations. During his tenure as a Forest Ranger, Ranger Nally has been deployed on a western wildland firefighting incident in Washington state, assisted with the management of the New York Wildfire and Incident Management Academy and devoted over two months of time to southern pine beetle eradication efforts at the DEC-managed Henrys Hollow in Hampton Bays. Ranger Nally, along with other regionally based Forest Rangers and Environmental Conservation Officers, also provided logistical and transportation support to other emergency response agencies during this winter’s storm Jonas and last winter’s storm Juno. Ranger Nally spends his spare time with his family in the Town of Riverhead.

New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) Forest Ranger David Nally was named “2015 Environmental Enforcement Officer of the Year” by the Pine Barrens Law Enforcement Council (PBLEC). Each year the membership of the PBLEC gets to select individuals who they feel deserve to be recognized for their work within the Central Pine Barrens. PBLEC consists of more than 26 law enforcement organizations in Suffolk County. Forest Ranger Nally was given this award in part for his participation in over 12 joint Pine Barrens Law Enforcement Council coordinated All-Terrain Vehicle (ATV) enforcement patrols. “Stopping illegal ATV riding on state properties continues to be a major focus for DEC and the Pine Barrens Law Enforcement Council,” said DEC Acting Commissioner Basil Seggos. “These enforcement actions by Ranger Nally and all the other members of the PBLEC
show how DEC Forest Rangers and all other members of the PBLEC are constantly on the watch for these activities. Pine Barrens law enforcement personnel will continue to ensure speeding vehicles and ATVs do not destroy state properties or take away enjoyment of these properties from hikers, runners, bird watchers, dog walkers and other recreationalists.” John Pavacic, Executive Director of the Central Pine Barrens Commission said, “I commend Ranger Nally for his accomplishments, dedication and commitment to the protection of the Central Pine Barrens. The efforts of law enforcement officers like Ranger Nally have helped ensure that this important region will continue to exist for future generations and we are truly grateful for the service he and his fellow law enforcement officers continue to provide each and every day.” The Pine Barrens Law Enforcement Council (LEC), under the Central Pine Barrens Joint Planning and Policy Commission, was established in March of 1994 to develop and implement a comprehensive law enforcement plan to patrol and protect the 105,000 acres of pine barrens in central Suffolk County. This Council has grown to include over 26 law enforcement and emergency response agencies (including federal, state, county, town, and village agencies), all of which have some degree of law enforcement authority and/or public safety function within their geographical area of responsibility covering all or portions of the Central Pine Barrens. Each day and regardless of weather, forest rangers patrol 5.0 million acres of Department-administered public lands and easements by vehicle, boat, ATV, snowmobile, aircraft, bicycle, foot, skis or snowshoes.
Reverence for God, as expressed in the Boy Scout Oath and Boy Scout Law, is a fundamental tenet of scouting. In observance of that the Boy Scouts of America designates a Sunday that falls near February 8th (the anniversary day for Boy Scouts of America) as Scout Sunday. Members of Commackbased Boy Scout Troop 125, who are of various faiths, gathered on February 7th with Reverend Lynda BatesStepe of the Commack United Methodist Church, its members, and choir to celebrate Scout Sunday together.
Troop 125’s scouts shared scouting’s core values with the congregation by reciting the Boy Scout Oath and Boy Scout Law. Scout Sean Bertolini did the opening prayer and Scouts Ty Ellenbogen and Matt Ryan participated in the service’s readings. In her sermon, Reverend Bates-Stepe discussed an occasion when she didn’t have a chalice for the wine at a service so instead used a paper cup, demonstrating that the blessing of the Lord, and not the actual implements used for the service, is what’s most important. Afterward, the scouts

Stone Hearted Creations Stones Project” gave each student in the school the opportunity to paint a stone with their own heart healthy theme. The idea was to encourage students to find different ways to use their hearts, whether through love and laughter or exercise and healthy lifestyle choices.
The stones will then be donated to local organizations such as fire departments, police departments, local veterans’ organizations and local hospitals as a thank you for their service to the community.
Supportive Housing Grant
Options for Community Living, Inc. has been awarded $652,320 under the New York State Supportive Housing Program (NYSSHP) through the NYS Office of Temporary and Disability Assistance. This NYSSHP grant will enable Options to assist adults with psychiatric disabilities and other chronic illnesses residing in the agency’s supportive housing programs on Long Island.
“This award provides financial support for Options’ case managers who work directly with our residents in long-term supportive housing,” stated Yolanda Robano-Gross, executive director, Options for Community Living. “Supportive housing allows people to live with dignity in the community as they regain stability and independence.” Options’ residents pay an affordable rent; and case
managers make regular home visits to monitor the residents’ health and to teach them skills, such as: cooking, budgeting and much more, so they can continue to live independently. More than 400 Long Islanders reside in Options supported housing with over 100 sites scattered throughout Nassau and Suffolk Counties.

Reunion Day. On February 8th, author Steve Metzger visited and shared some of his favorite books. The culmination of PARP was Comfy Cozy Day on February 12th when students and teachers wore their pajamas to school.
Saving the Planet Members of the Commack Middle School Nature Explorers and Earth Protectors Club put their eco-enthusiasm to work, sponsoring a school-wide plastic bag collection. They collected (and counted) 1,873 plastic bags, which will now be recycled, and
not wind up in a landfill or as litter. Club members are passionate about preserving our environment and want to act as caregivers of our planet. “Through recycling, these bags will have a chance to be made into something
new,” said club advisor, Debra Lindquist. The club continues to implement activities that adhere to the positive values that make the world a better place for themselves and the community.”

Seawolves Support
On Sunday, January 10th, the Stony Brook Seawolves Ice Hockey team selected Angela’s House to be the recipient of funds raised at their game versus the Liberty University Flames. In addition, the Seawolves and the Ice Girls encouraged the Angela’s House kids to get out on the ice with them, and the children had such a great time participating in the event! They got to interact with the crowd, throwing out prizes and waiving to the fans. The funds raised by admission fees and raffle ticket sales go a long way in
helping the Angela’s House children and families. The monies will be used to provide medical supplies, equipment and other necessary supports to the medically fragile children that Angela’s House works with. Angela’s House, founded in 1992, offers hope for families and children living with severe medical conditions who are medically frail, chronically ill and/or suffering from life threatening conditions. Their home care programs works with over 650 children that live at home with their parents, by coordinating the home
care services needed to support these children living at home. This may include services such as: medical equipment, nursing support, therapies, medications and making their homes handicapped accessible. Angela’s House also has three beautiful specialty homes that have the ability to offer children, with often very severe medical needs, the therapeutic, nursing and potential long-term care required. For more information about Angela’s House please visit: www. AngelasHouse.org.

Several of Bretton Woods Elementary School’s fourth grade classes recently participated in a Random Acts of Kindness activity designed to recognize that all students are special. “Every student in our class is special in their own way,” stated Teacher Danielle Sukoff who facilitated the activity. “Each and every one of them has unique qualities and characteristics that make them who they are.” Each student was asked to select the name of a classmate from a hat. They were asked to keep
the name a secret, and under no circumstances, would they be allowed to trade for another name. The 4th graders then were tasked with thinking about what makes this classmate special, unique, fun or just plain wonderful to be around. “Even though the students might not be best friends with each other, all children have good qualities; and it was each student’s goal to make a gift that would make his or her classmate feel special,” Sukoff described. The students were not allowed to purchase a store
bought gift. They had to make the gift, wrap it and write a card describing why this individual was special. The students’ handmade creations included: shirts, plaques, bags, picture frames, key chains, boxes and more. One of the gift cards said: “You are unique. You brighten up my day. You have so much to offer.” “The entire class was beaming with pride and joy from both giving and receiving their gifts,” stated Sukoff.
TOP ARTIST - AriYeong Lee, a Commack High School junior and IB art student, won first place and a prize of $1,000 at the Huntington School of Fine Arts 40th Annual Scholarship Competition. Contestants were judged on their three-piece portfolio, which could include sculptures, paintings, drawings or photos, and on a drawing produced during a session at the competition. The scholarship will be used towards the school’s spring or summer College Prep Portfolio Program.

By: Madeline Lipton To capture an image One moment in time Can feel positively lovely Very sublime
A creative art That’s become part of each day What words don’t convey Photos have their way Snap an event, family members and more Either way you’re sure to make memories Of which will endure For years down the road (and then some to boot!) How fun it will be To sit and recall Those pleasant snapped moments Let’s savor them all!

A Way to End a Day By: John McGowan
Down to the beach I headed late in the day I approached a pavilion And to my delight Through its opening I saw The bay and the sky’s light Azure on top of a bright water so tame With shadows reflected from the building’s frame A day filled with stress no longer stood tall Nature had conquered and made problems seem small.

Decisions are crucial in this life we lead We choose with our heart Sometimes our head Looking back on all those I’ve made There is always that mystery Which enters the fray From where it comes I cannot rightfully say But the next time I choose I’ll consider it’s sway.
