Training The Name You Trust. Graduate


Beginning on June 21st, Camp Pa-Qua-Tuck will open up the 2015 summer season for young campers with special needs and disabilities. There will be ten sessions throughout the course of the summer, each lasting for six days. Additional information and registration forms can be found online at www. camppaquatuck.com. Camp Pa-Qua-Tuck provides services and opportunities for children and young adults ages 6 to 21 to learn while having fun. Campers can enjoy activities such as boating, arts and crafts, swimming, music and sports. The supportive environment helps children to develop self-esteem and to achieve personal growth while enjoying recreational activities. The camp has been helping children flourish since its early stages in 1941, when the Rotary

Club of the Moriches arranged a beach-side picnic for children with Polio. This inspired the founding of the official camp in 1948, when Camp Pa-Qua-Tuck held its first summer session for 25 children with Polio. Today, it continues to be a safe place where specialneeds campers can enjoy themselves and broaden their horizons. Improvements have been made to the dormitories and the dining hall to provide the best experience possible for the campers. Thanks to the renovations that were made to the dining hall, campers and staff members are now able to eat together rather than in shifts. Private donations are the camp’s sole source of funding; therefore, yearround fundraising efforts are critical to the camp’s operations. Camp Pa-QuaTuck has teamed up with

In Step

the local Rotary Clubs and other organizations to hold these charitable events including a Chinese Auction, 5K Run, Breakfast with Santa, Spring Fling Joy Prom, Bradstock, Oktoberfest, Spooky Walk, the Fuoco Memorial Golf Outing, and the Inlet Ride Bike-A-Thon. “We are excited to open up our 68th season to our new and returning campers,” said Bridget Costello, Director of Camp Pa-Qua-Tuck. “It is because of the efforts of the Moriches Rotary Club, private donors, and other groups that we have been able to open every summer and give these children and young adults the chance to have fun and be themselves.” For more information about Camp Pa-Qua-Tuck or to make a donation, please call 631.878.1070 or visit www.camppaquatuck. com.

Simmer Down, Society By: Jamie Lynn Ryan Well, it’s happened. Still days away from the official start of summer, and already the first utterings of “it’s too hot” have been heard. After one of the most bitterly cold, snowiest winters on record, one that seemed to stretch on far past its allotted time, and we can’t even appreciate the warmth for more than a day. What is it that makes our society so…unsatisfied? We live in one of the most ideal climate zones where we are fortunate to experience all four seasons for equal periods of time throughout the year. And yet, other than the occasional universal

comment that it’s “such a beautiful day,” we are more often than not in a constant state of complaint. Sure, any extreme can be “too much” for some to handle; but, I think we’ve become so accustomed to the temperaturecontrolled bubbles that we live in that our sensitivity to such things is absurdly heightened. Seasons are designed to be enjoyed outdoors, at least for part of the time. Personally, I look forward to the warmth of spring and summer, the extended daylight hours and the ample activities available – from free concerts to baseball games to outdoor theatre and dance performances to

fireworks…the options are endless. The last thing I want to do is spend my time hibernating in a dimlylit, air-conditioned cave of sorts, one with all the windows shut, blinds drawn and outside world blocked out. No thank you. Let’s put things in perspective, people. We don’t live in a desert. We live on an island, one bordered by beaches on every coast. In between, there are lakes and rivers and plenty of pools of both the indoor and outdoor variety. I’m sure we can manage to survive a few months of summer. Maybe, if we really try, we might even manage to enjoy it.

DENTAL SCHOLARSHIPS - Brookhaven Memorial Hospital Medical Center’s Medical & Dental Scholarship Award night took place recently. Dr. Richard Ritter, President of the Medical Staff, had the honor of presenting 10 of the 13 students from 13 local high schools with a check in the amount $1,500 each along with a plaque to help fund and recognize the students pursuing a medical career.

Breaking Records

In conjunction with The Louis J. Acompora Memorial Foundation, Forest Brook Elementary School fifth graders were trained how to use an automated external defibrillator (AED) and in the use of hands-only CPR. The 80 students who participated in the CPR/ AED training at Forest Brook Elementary School on June 3rd, also helped the American Heart Association break the Guinness World Record for CPR. “Hands-only CPR is a potentially lifesaving technique involving no mouth-to-mouth contact,” described Principal Kristen Reingold. “It is best used in emergencies where someone has seen another person suddenly collapse. The hands-only technique increases the likelihood of surviving cardiac emergencies that occur outside medical settings.”

“An automated external defibrillator (AED) is a portable device that checks the heart rhythm and can send an electric shock to the heart to try to restore a normal rhythm. AEDs are used to treat sudden cardiac arrest (SCA), which is a condition in which the heart suddenly and unexpectedly stops beating,” said Reingold. CPR/AED Awareness Week was held nationwide from June 1st through 7th. The American Heart Association and the American Red Cross encourage people to take CPR/AED training to learn how to respond should someone suffer cardiac arrest. “The ability to perform CPR and to know how to use an AED can make a lifesaving difference when someone suffers a cardiac or breathing emergency,” stated Reingold. “It could mean the difference between life and death for someone at

school, in the community or in your own home. It only takes two hands to potentially save a life.” The Louis J. Acompora Memorial Foundation was formed in memory of Louis J. Acompora, a young athlete who died suddenly as a result of sudden cardiac arrest during his first high school lacrosse game. Following this tragic loss, Louis’ parents began a campaign to raise awareness among schools and other public institutions about the importance of having automated external defibrillators (AED), a simple device that would have saved Louis’ life. The Louis J. Acompora Memorial Foundation was founded to ensure that similar tragedies are prevented. The Foundation is committed to improving sports safety, with a special focus on placing AEDs in all schools and youth athletic organizations.

The PTA at Tackan Elementary School in Smithtown worked with the Smithtown High School East Leadership students to present the annual Kindness Games, in support of the ReesSpecht Life Foundation. Students in kindergarten through fifth grade participated in face painting, kickball, tug of war, relay races, hulahoop competitions and other field day games and activities that promote sportsmanship and kindness. HSE leadership students, under the direction of adviser Bruce Lepanto, organized, advertised and supervised

the Kindness Games events. School community members of all ages, including Tackan alumni, were invited to participate in the free event. The PTA accepted donations for the foundation, and the barbecue raised funds through the sale of food and baked goods. The HSE Leadership Club also accepted donations, created baskets to raffle and sold 50/50 raffle tickets. Proceeds were donated to the ReesSpecht Life Foundation, which was created in memory of Richard (Rees) EdwinEhmer Specht, who lost his life at a young age. Formed by the Specht family, the foundation

was established to promote community, compassion and, most importantly, respect in young people through advocacy, awareness, and encouraging acts of kindness and paying it forward. A memorial scholarship was established in honor of Rees. More than $1,400 was raised through this year’s Tackan Kindness Games. According to Tackan PTA President Bernadette Ackerman, the event serves as the culmination of a building-wide week of activities that focus on how young children can demonstrate kindness.

Food For Thought Approximately 840 Advanced Placement social studies students from Smithtown High Schools East and West participated in this year’s edition of the Roger W. Sullivan AP History Conference, a showcase of individual and group research papers that relate to a certain theme in a specific discipline of social studies. Students prepared papers and answered and addressed topical questions and dilemmas pertaining to food and society, this year’s conference topic. Now in its 26th year, the conference asks students enrolled in various courses (AP World History, AP Economics, AP Psychology, etc.) to develop compelling research projects in the form of a written paper, accompanied by a visual presentation. Thirty projects, one from each AP class, were selected for panel sessions in which the project creators presented their research to fellow AP students and fielded questions about their work. Panel sessions were moderated by Smithtown CSD AP social studies teachers with help from outside college professors. “It’s a tremendous honor for students to be selected to present at these sessions,” said AP Psychology teacher Chauncy Cone, who coordinated the conference for High School West. Stephen Nadramia, an AP Economics teacher, was the coordinator for High School East. Among the topics students researched and presented were farming and class socialization, the food trade’s effect on cultures, how food regulations have

evolved over the years, the high cost of organic food and child obesity. Conference participants also heard from two experts on the topic of food: Dr. Ken Albala and author Pat Willard, who served as keynote speakers. Dr. Albala is a professor of history at the University of the Pacific in Stockton, California, where he teaches food history and the history of early modern Europe. He is also a visiting professor

Dr. Albala talked about how throughout history power can be defined as control of the food supply. Willard’s talk traced how saffron traveled from its native home in the Middle East to around the world, along the way influencing different societies and cultures –essentially everything from medicine to beauty to cooking, depending on where it surfaced. She also gave each student a bag, which held a saffron corm and a few threads. Another part of the daylong activity was a Junior Iron Chef competition, held in conjunction with the Cornell Cooperative Extension of Suffolk County. Sixteen AP history students, who were also home and career students from HSE and HSW, were selected to take part in the competition, which required them to prepare a special dish assigned by program coordinator and community nutrition educator Maryann Birmingham. Students were judged on various elements of their dishes, including preparation, presentation and taste. According to Director of Social Studies Michael Chlystun, the conference has evolved from 128 participants in 1990, at Boston University, where he teaches an advanced thanks to the expansion of meaningful AP offerings and food history course in the gastronomy program. He has a genuine growth in student interest through the years. authored and/or edited 16 books on food. Willard has authored four books of her own, including “Pie Every Photo courtesy of: Smithtown Central School District Day,” which was cited by the Atlantic Monthly, Bon Appetit and Amazon.com as among the top 10 cookbooks of 1997.

Interdisciplinary Fair Mills Pond Elementary School students recently brought families back in time as parents enjoyed the school’s Interdisciplinary Fair, which showcased various creative projects centering on Smithtown’s rich history. Illustrations of notable Smithtown structures and landmarks, including the Mills Pond House,

the St. James General Store and Railroad station and Whisper, the iconic Smithtown Bull, along with narratives, posters, photographs and other creative displays about Smithtown adorned the walls and tables of MPES. Students covered all of the places of interest throughout the township, from Hoyt Farm in

Commack on the west end to the old Nesconset schoolhouse, circa 1908, on the east. They even touched into nearby Stony Brook and its historic Grist Mill. This year’s theme was established in conjunction with the Town of Smithtown’s 350th year in existence and Sesquarcentennial celebration.

Continuing Into College Hauppauge High School student-athletes recently committed to continuing their academic and athletic careers at the collegiate level next year. “We are honored to offer our sincere congratulations

to these outstanding individuals and their families and wish them the best of luck in their future endeavors,” stated Daniel Butler, director of Physical Education, Health, Family and Consumer Science,

Recreation and Athletics. In addition, Hauppauge High School Varsity Pitcher Nick Fanti was drafted by the Philadelphia Phillies in the 31st round of the Major League Baseball draft.

The Smithtown Historical Society and Smithtown Township Arts Council are hosting an exhibition of works from talented studentartists and photographers, “Looking into Smithtown’s Past.” Part of the celebration of Smithtown’s 350th anniversary, the gallery captures the historic sites of Smithtown via the creativity of Smithtown CSD artists and students from participating Smithtown area private schools. Participating

artists were recently recognized at the opening ceremony. The top entries received awards with Jessica Schimek claiming the Best in Show honor for her mixed-media artwork of the St. James General Store. In the Art category, winners were Griffen Reynolds (first), Mishal Vakil (second) and Abby Portela (third). Top photographers were Danny O’Leary (first), Steven Merlino (second) and Kristen Leone (third). Smithtown CSD Director

The top medal propels Cortland into the national competition, which will be held in Louisville, Kentucky, later this month. A secondyear carpentry student, Cortland won first place in the regional SkillsUSA carpentry contest earlier this spring and plans to continue his education at Farmingdale State College studying construction management.

SkillsUSA is a national student organization that offers leadership, citizenship and character development programs to complement the skills training that vocational students receive in career and technical programs at Wilson Tech.

POOL SMART PRESENTATION - Suffolk County Legislator Robert Trotta was proud to recognize Rebecca McNaughton, a third grade student at the Fort Salonga Elementary School, who came in second in the annual “Be Pool Smart” Poster Contest. Elementary students from throughout Suffolk County participate in the contest and the winning poster is reproduced as the cover of the “Be Pool Smart” brochure, which is published by the Suffolk County Health Department.

Honoring Heavy Hitters

As spring progresses on towards summer and the baseball season moves forward, players begin to distinguish themselves. The same holds true for young athletes in Suffolk County. Having hosted the MLB Pitch, Hit, and run in April Legislator Leslie Kennedy had the

opportunity to honor those young athletes who participated in the competition. The MLB Pitch, Hit and Run is a baseball skills competition sponsored by Scotts and Major League Baseball, and was hosted by Legislator Leslie Kennedy in conjunction with

the Nesconset Athletic Association. It was a crisp April morning when the boys gathered at Browns Road Field in Nesconset to compete in the competition. Those who have distinguished themselves are worthy of praise.

Lab Science Honoree Suffolk County Legislator Robert Trotta welcomed Kelly Bossert and her family to the Legislature for its June 2nd meeting in order to congratulate her on winning first place in the Third Grade Division of the annual Brookhaven National Lab’s Elementary School Science Fair. Kelly is a third grade student at the Fort Salonga

Elementary School. Her project developed from hearing about a house fire and she wanted to know which were the safest trees and shrubs to plant near a home. In her experiment, Kelly learned that evergreens ignite very quickly and are the hardest to extinguish. Trees and bushes that are classified as waxy or deciduous take longer to

ignite and can be quickly extinguished so they are a safer choice. “I commend Kelly and her science teacher, Robert Rubin, for an excellent job in competing in this contest as there were 470 projects created by over 600 Suffolk County children ranging from kindergarten to sixth grade,” said Suffolk County Legislator Robert Trotta.

LAB SCIENCE HONOREE - Suffolk County Legislator Robert Trotta presented Kelly with a proclamation and they are pictured with from left: her parents Marc and Carolyn Bossert, science teach Robert Rubin, Kelly Bossert, Suffolk County Legislator Robert Trotta and Kings Park School Superintendent Timothy Eagen.

Groundbreaking Ceremony The William J. Lindsay Memorial Committee and the Suffolk County Legislature today held a groundbreaking ceremony for the William J. Lindsay Memorial in front of the William H. Rogers Legislature Building. The event was held concurrently with a dedication ceremony and unveiling of signage renaming the North County Complex the “William J. Lindsay County Center” in honor of the late William J. Lindsay, the longest serving Presiding Officer in the history of Suffolk County. Lindsay served as the 8th District Legislator from March 2001 until his death September 11th, 2013, following a long battle with mesothelioma. “Bill Lindsay was a friend, colleague and mentor, and he was a particular inspiration for me after I took over the position of Presiding Officer,” said Suffolk County Legislature Presiding Officer DuWayne Gregory. “Bill worked across the aisle with every member of the Legislature and much more often than not was able to form a consensus even on the most difficult issues. His union background played a key part in his talent for negotiation and compromise while never compromising his central beliefs. Bill is still missed and it is our privilege to be here today to recognize his life of dedicated public service by building this memorial and naming the North County Complex in his honor.” “My dad was a great electrician and a prolific legislator, but he was by far the best role model and father that a son could have,” said 8th District Legislator William J. Lindsay III, who succeeded his father. “My father’s dedication and his relentless drive to provide for and care for our family set an example for me and my sisters to raise families of our own, give back to our communities, help others and to make a difference. He would have been very humbled by this memorial, which represents the lasting impact that my father’s career had on us

all. I just ask that you remember my father not only for his illustrious career and life of service, but for his charismatic energy and his unyielding desire to help his fellow man.” “Co-chair Terry Pearsall and I are very much looking forward toward working on this Memorial,” said Kevin Harvey, Co-chair of the Memorial Committee and Business Manager of IBEW Local 25. “It is dedicated to someone who exemplifies tremendous dedication and

devotion to both the public and private sectors. Hopefully we will make Bill proud of the project’s outcome.” “When I was first elected to the legislature, Presiding Officer Bill Lindsay was an important mentor to me, and we grew to be very close friends,” stated Legislator Kate Browning of the 3rd District. “Bill stood up for working class families, and was the voice for their values. He cared deeply about good government, and always put the taxpayers first. His leadership is sorely missed, and this memorial is a fitting tribute to a man who set the bar high for what a Presiding Officer should be. Suffolk County was extremely lucky to have him.” “In my life I was fortunate to have known Bill

Lindsay as both a colleague and a mentor,” said Kara Hahn, 5th District Legislator and former Director of Communications for Lindsay. “He was a true champion for Suffolk County’s working families, an advocate for his constituents and a tireless defender of the Legislature as a co-equal branch of government. In memorializing his life in stone and reflection, we are honoring his spirit and unwavering devotion to the principles he held dearest in his mission to bring dignity to all.” “I was honored by the opportunity to serve on the Memorial Committee,” said Legislator Sarah Anker of the 6th District. “Bill Lindsay was deeply committed to the people he served, and we worked hard to ensure that this memorial will honor his memory for generations to come.” “Bill will always be remembered as a true friend and an extraordinary public servant who possessed an unstoppable determination to serving others his entire life,” said longtime family friend Barbara Musacchio. “He never forgot the working men and women.” Lindsay spent the majority of his life as an electrician, having begun his career as an apprentice with the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW) Local 25. He eventually became involved in the operation and management of the union, and served as its business manager prior to his election to the Legislature. During his lifetime, Lindsay also served on numerous boards, including the Long Island Housing Partnership and the Long Island Federation of Labor. The event was attended by Lindsay’s colleagues, friends and family, including his son Legislator William J. Lindsay III of the 8th District. Those wishing to contribute to the project should contact Kevin Harvey at 631.273.4567, ext. 228, for a memorial stone.

June is the anticipation of summer Of picnics at the beach Of long lingering hours of daylight Of carefree hours in the sun June is opening the backyard pool Two weeks at summer camp Vacationing in the mountains Or at the beach June is the month of All good things to come It’s chanting, “No more pencils No more books, No more teachers’ dirty looks” As the last school bus leaves for the year “Nesting” Photo by: Grace Evola

This feeling comes to visit me. In darkness, it glows teasing with that which lies unseen. Brass knobs hooded beneath ornate archways, lying behind will set me free. Scratching at the wood for an invitation, locked up securely, seemingly impenetrable. Yet, the electric current that pulses inside is the persistence and strength that motivates me. There is more to this life that is yet unseen; when I break through, my life becomes the dream

Science Fair Winners The Suffolk County Legislature last week recognized the winners of Brookhaven National Laboratory’s 2015 Elementary School Science Fair. Over 100 Suffolk County schools participate each year, with entrants ranging in age from kindergarten through sixth grade. “I am honored to congratulate these promising young scientists,” said Presiding Officer DuWayne Gregory. “The key to solving some of our greatest challenges lies in science, and I commend Brookhaven National Laboratory for making this investment both in these young people and in our collective future.” Spencer Asofsky, who attends Bay Shore Middle

School, was the sixth grade winner. Asofsky, who said he had always been a “picky eater,” wondered whether color affected a person’s perspective on taste. He constructed his experiment by dying lemon-lime seltzer with different food colorings, then asking a sample of 20 people to describe the flavor tasted. All 20 subjects recorded that the yellow beverage tasted like lemon and green tasted like lime, and 14 recorded that red tasted like cherry and purple tasted like grape. Also of note was that 80 percent of the subjects stated that yellow was their favorite beverage because they believed it tasted like lemon. “We’re really thrilled with Spencer’s performance, creativity and knowledge

of the scientific method,” said Donna Bettinelli, the Director of Science at Bay Shore Schools. She accompanied Asofsky and his family to the presentation of his proclamation at the Legislature. Asofsky is the son of Steven and Mary Asofsky and grandson of Madeleine and Paul Boghosian. Other winners of the Brookhaven National Laboratory Science Fair were as follows: Kindergarten: Justyn Harrison of Middle Island, who attends Charles E. Walters Elementary School. He is the son of Greg and Kymara Harrison. His project, “Chelsea’s Favorite Treat,” examined whether dogs had a preference in treats. He found that his dog,

Chelsea, had a consistent preference for cheesewrapped snacks. First grade: Jennifer Tiskowitz of Rocky Point, who attends Frank J. Carasiti Elementary School. She is the daughter of Terri Dietz and Jon Tiskowitz. Her project, “Keep My Craft Colorful,” tested whether household products could be used to prevent construction paper from fading. Of the substances she tested, Pledge furniture polish was the most effective at preserving color. Second grade: Mark Burns, Jr. of Baiting Hollow, who attends Riley Avenue Elementary School. He is the son of Mark Burns, Sr. and Danielle Burns. His project, “Snow Problem,” sought to find an environmentally-

friendly alternative to salt for use in melting ice. Of the substances he tested, pickle brine was the best alternative. Third grade: Kelly Bossert of Fort Salonga, who attends Fort Salonga Elementary School. She is the daughter of Carolyn and Marc Bossert. Her project, “Don’t Let It Burn,” tested whether certain trees and shrubs spread fire more quickly than others. She found that while evergreens ignite quickly, deciduous plants take longer to ignite and can be extinguished more quickly. Fourth grade: Ella Causin of Oakdale, who attends Idle Hour Elementary School. She is the daughter of Richard and Jennifer Causin. Her project,

“Slippery Sidewalks,” tested the efficacy of various substances at melting ice. Of the substances she tested, she found rock salt melted ice the most quickly. Fifth grade: Jack Soldano of Miller Place, who attends Laddie A. Decker Sound Beach School. He is son of Cristin and Steven Soldano. His project, “Compost Conundrum,” examined whether composting significantly affected the growth of plants. Although his findings did not make a strong case for the use of compost to stimulate plant growth, he stumbled across several “unexpected discoveries,” including the “resurrection” of a cucumber plant from cucumber seeds in compost.
