Suffolk County Sheriff Vincent F. DeMarco today announced the launch of his new weekly radio segment to be broadcast on LI News Radio. The station, which is owned by JVC Broadcasting, will offer 24-hour alltalk radio, and DeMarco hopes to use the forum to inform Long Islanders about topics ranging from how to safeguard personal information from identity thieves to how to react if ever confronted with a violent crime. DeMarco stated, “I’m thrilled to be a part of the LI News Radio line up. I look forward to presenting current and

relevant information to my listeners each week, and to educating the public about important law enforcement topics. I’m also interested in receiving feedback from the public, and to covering subjects that will enhance communication between the Sheriff’s Office, local law enforcement and the people we serve.” In his first broadcast, DeMarco discusses how personal cell phones can unknowingly provide a wealth of information to thieves and those with criminal motives. “We are very excited to welcome Sheriff DeMarco to the airwaves on 103.9 LI News Radio. It’s a

COAST GUARD DONATION - Members of Good Samaritan Hospital’s Pediatric Emergency Department: Director of Nursing Education Dorri Bechtel, RN, Associate Director of Pediatrics Reethamma Daniel, MD, Child Life Specialist Nancy Kennedy, Laura Frost, RN and Nurse Manager, Emergency Department Christy Meyer, RN, accept generous toy donation collected by the Long Island Chief Petty Officer Association of the U.S. Coast Guard, coordinated by Petty Officer First Class Thaina Vasquez. Units across Long Island collected more than 400 gifts for pediatric patients and their siblings.

Recruits Show Spirit

SUFFOLK ZONE 3 - NEIGHBOR NEWSPAPERS - WEDNESDAY DECEMBER 25, 2013 • www.southbaysneighbor.com

The Suffolk County Sheriff’s Office Correction Officer Recruits, as part of their Academy training, must now complete a community service project prior to graduation. Correction Officer Recruit Class 13-153 performed a successful food drive and delivered boxes of food and other household items to the Lighthouse Mission in Bellport on Friday, December 13th. The Class planned and implemented the project

as a group, and also made the decision to choose the Lighthouse Mission as their community service recipient. According to Wendy Wood, Lighthouse Mission’s Executive Director, the food they collected will go to families in need all over Suffolk County. “These are families that are hurting economically and struggling to feed their children.” She added, “We are so grateful for the

food delivered to us from the Correction Officer Recruits. We can see they have a heart to serve the community.” County Sheriff Vincent DeMarco recently implemented the community service requirement to emphasize to new officers the importance of giving back to their communities, and this was the first group to engage in the new initiative.

Three Cheers

Long Island’s very own professional baseball team, the Long Island Ducks, were a big hit with patients at Stony Brook Children’s Hospital during a special visit for the holidays. Former New York Met Bud Harrelson, co-owner and Senior VP of Baseball Operations of the Ducks was joined by team mascot QuackerJack and radio station B103’s The Wiseman and Frank. QuackerJack, flopped

his way around the whole inpatient pediatric unit at Stony Brook Children’s Hospital on December 17th, bringing wrapped toys to hospitalized patients. Autographs were signed, photos were snapped and there were even a few glimpses of Harrelson’s 1986 World Championship ring, which he received while playing for the Mets. The visit was part of the Ducks’ annual Holiday Toy

Drive, where QuackerJack and team members deliver toys to children in pediatric units in hospitals across Long Island. The month-long effort resulted in hundreds of children receiving toys this holiday season. Popular to thousands of families on Long Island, the Ducks are members of the Atlantic League of Professional Baseball and play locally at Bethpage Ballpark in Central Islip.

Santa Brings Cheer

SUFFOLK ZONE 3 - NEIGHBOR NEWSPAPERS - WEDNESDAY DECEMBER 25, 2013 • www.southbaysneighbor.com

Santa was the guest of honor at the annual Breakfast with Santa event at The Children’s Center at United Cerebral Palsy of Suffolk in Commack on Saturday, December 7th. The very special and jolly guest arrived dressed in a red and white fur suit and was greeted by scores of children with disabilities who attend the Children’s Center. Staff and parents worked diligently to transform the school’s gymnasium

into a winter wonderland. Families welcomed the opportunity to have their picture taken with Santa and participated in the elaborate raffle. Over 200 children and adults enjoyed a hearty breakfast made possible by the generosity of The Louro Family and Professional Group Plans. “Seeing the excitement on the children’s faces when Santa arrived was priceless. Our volunteers and staff did a wonderful job. There was so much

Scoring Big

warmth and caring in the room, it was wonderful. We are also very grateful to The Louro Family and Professional Group Plans for returning as the sponsor of our breakfast. Their generous sponsorship helped make this another joyous holiday season for so many,” said Sherri Glazer, Principal/ Director of Education Services of the Children’s Center at UCP Suffolk.

Four professional hockey players from the New York Islanders played Santa on December 18th and scored big points with hospitalized children at Stony Brook Children’s Hospital. Leaving their skates and sticks at the rink, forward Eric Boulton (#36), defensemen Aaron Ness (#55) and Radek Martinek (#4) along with goalie Kevin Poulin (#60), delivered toys, other gifts, and good cheer to the patients and their families. During the previous week, the Islanders took a break from the ice to go on a shopping spree to choose gifts ranging from board

games to Barbie dolls to bring to Stony Brook Children’s Hospital. About 70 patients, along with family members, received visits from the players. The foursome walked through the entire inpatient pediatric unit and the pediatric unit at Stony Brook University Cancer Center. They were able to spend some time with the kids and signed autographs, took pictures and gave away those famous blue and orange team teeshirts. The Islanders even gave out ticket vouchers to some of the families, good for any date their children were out of the hospital and well-enough to attend

a game. The visit was organized by the Child Life Program at Stony Brook Children’s and the New York Islanders. Through the Child Life Program at Stony Brook Children’s, professionals provide therapeutic, educational, and recreational activities to meet the unique emotional and developmental needs of hospitalized children. Activities include medical play therapy, games, arts and crafts, as well as specialized programs such as animal assisted therapy, music therapy, and birthday and holiday parties.

May The Odds Be Ever In Your Favor

As you are reading this, I have already found out my first college decision. Hopefully, I was accepted. Unfortunately, the odds are not in my favor. As a college that accepts a fraction of its applicants, my dream school is certainly not a guaranteed acceptance for me. As you can already tell, I am not willing to divulge the name, as I am afraid to jinx myself. As much as I want to attend that school, the ball is in their court. Early last year, I developed my love for the college. Hopefully, this love is not platonic. I sent in my application over two months ago, on my birthday. I have been

stressing out over their decision ever since. As I am writing this, mile marker zero is less than eighteen and a half hours away. Next week, you will be hearing if I made it in or not. It was a scary road, going from a kid to an adult in just a few months. During the summer, I knew that the time was approaching; but as soon as September hit, my college application game was kicked into overdrive. Hopefully, I will never have to apply to another college again. With any luck, I have already gotten into the school I have fallen in love with. There is no doubt in my

mind that this school is right for me. If only the admissions officers could read my articles, they would know just how interested I am. All of my hard work will boil down to one of two words in a letter from that college. The first line of that letter will read either “congratulations” or “unfortunately.” Preferably, it will be the former, but everything happens for a reason. I will be content wherever I end up attending, even though I will never be able to shake that possible feeling of rejection. Stay tuned...

Ghosts Of Christmas Past By: Jamie Lynn Ryan As I prepare to host my very first holiday gathering – well, any gathering really – in my new apartment this Christmas Eve, I cannot help but reflect upon the many wonderful memories from past celebrations, most of which took place in the comfort and warmth of Grandma and Grandpa’s house. With the passing of my grandmother earlier this year, there was an immediate sense that this holiday season would be a bit different. So many years – decades, really – spent gathered around the big dining room table each Christmas Eve, of “helping” Grandma bake her famous Christmas cookies (basically watching and waiting and then sneaking a couple as soon as they came out of the

oven), of marveling at the gigantic Christmas tree and the beautiful decorations… of hoping that, one day, I would be lucky enough to have a house as beautiful and as full of love as Grandma and Grandpa’s. Well, my little apartment gathering may be coming together on a bit of a smaller scale, but the sentiment is the same. Any time family and loved ones get together to celebrate, memories are made – and preserved for future generations to appreciate, and add to. My only hope is that they are never lost. I was fortunate to have the opportunity to put together a project back in college for my Family Literacy class which asked us to illustrate one family tradition through words and photographs, providing details

and dialogue, recipes and anecdotes, creating a scrapbook of memories. I chose Christmas Eve and all the traditions that came with it for my family for the first 20 or so years of my life… from our traditional “table photo” taken from the top of the staircase, to my Uncle Al, also since passed, mixing the martinis as we arrived and, later on, after the first three or so courses of dinner, fighting with me for that last fried shrimp. How precious that project is today. By the time you read this, my little celebration will have come and gone, and with it, new memories made. Who knows, maybe one day it will become the stuff of scrapbook legend! Either way, I know I will have at least two angels watching over things to make sure all goes smoothly.

County Executive Bellone was joined by Suffolk County FRES staff, Philippine General Counsel, and members of the Suffolk County Asian American Advisory Board to announce the donation of six thousand MRE’s and ten thousand bottles of water to the victims of Typhoon Haiyan. “Today, we are here to announce the shipment of much needed supplies to the victims of Typhoon Haiyan,” said County

Executive Bellone. “As the country continues search and recovery in the midst of catastrophic damage and human suffering, Suffolk County has donated surplus supplies of MRE’s and water. I am happy to be in a position to assist those who are truly suffering from the devastating effects of Typhoon Haiyan.” “I would like to personally thank Belle Pagdanganan and Ramon Villongco from the Suffolk County Asian American Advisory Board

Spreading Christmas Cheer

for reaching out to FRES regarding surplus supplies and for securing a company, ABS-CBN Foundation to ship the supplies free of charge. Their continued commitment to serving all of the residents of Suffolk County is to be commended. Typhoon Haiyan hit the Philippines in early November. It was the deadliest Philippine typhoon on record, killing over 6,000 people in that country alone.

Following being called up to the NHL last week, New York Islanders “shinning” center Ryan Strome, along with defenseman Lubomir Visnovsky and Calvin deHaan, spent an afternoon delivering toys they personally selected in the pediatric unit at Good Samaritan Hospital Medical Center. The professional hockey players were friendly and personable, making the children feel special. “It’s so important when the community recognizes these kids

are sick, especially over the holidays,” said Good Samaritan Hospital’s Child Life Program Director Joan Alpers. “Having these star athletes spend time with the children certainly brightens their day.” Among those visited was Islander fan Travis Semcken. He shared his recent experience of being given a puck at an Islander game. The players were very taken by Travis’ spirit and enthusiasm for the sport. He will be attending a game in the near future compliments of the team.

Meal Donations

“Visiting with the children is the least we can do. Being able to put smiles on the faces of these kids, even for a moment, makes it all worth it,” said Visnovsky. The players went from room to room, discussing sports, TV episodes, how often they get hurt in a game and whatever else the children wanted to talk about. For more information about Good Samaritan’s Child Life Program, call 631.376.4444.

Pipeline safety is something we take very seriously at National Grid. Even though most lines are buried underground, that doesn’t mean you can ignore them. Keep your family and community safe by helping to prevent gas leaks. Always call New York 811 at 811 or 1-800-272-4480 before you dig. Know the signs of a gas leak. We’ve added a spoiled egg smell that makes natural gas easier to identify. Look for bubbles in standing water, a white cloudy mist or blowing dust, which indicates that an underground gas line may have ruptured; or, listen for a hissing, roaring or whistling sound. If you smell, see or hear any of those indications, leave the area immediately, then call National Grid at 1-800-490-0045. Be smart and be safe. Know what’s below — call before you dig and know the signs of a gas leak. Visit www.nationalgrid.com for additional safety information.

Delivering Insight

SUFFOLK ZONE 3 - NEIGHBOR NEWSPAPERS - WEDNESDAY DECEMBER 25, 2013 • www.southbaysneighbor.com

GINGERBREAD CREATIONS - On Tuesday December 3rd St. Patrick’s hosted a Make A Gingerbread House event. The children and parents enjoyed quality time as they made their very creative houses. The children enjoyed some hot cocoa as they listened to Christmas music.

Gaining vital business insights, students in East Islip High School’s Career Academy were recently visited by leading entrepreneur Neal Asbury, CEO of the Legacy Companies, vice chairman of the District Export Council National Steering Committee, and a national radio host and author. The students were given an opportunity to hear Asbury speak about the manufacturing industry and his support of U.S. exports and fair trade. Students from the Environment Green Career Academy and the International Business Globalization Career Academy also enjoyed a special two-hour conference and questionand-answer session with Asbury. “Mr. Asbury discussed the need for our country to have the same rights to sell its products in foreign countries at the same tariff rate that we give foreign countries,” said Israel Malinowitzer, the school’s director of careers and

student services. “This type of restriction has a major impact on our economy and requires our businesses to pay much higher tariffs in order to sell in these countries, which have a significant impact on these companies’ profits.” Asbury, a leader in international business issues, has traveled to over 138 countries promoting his products and ideas. The alumnus of New Jersey’s Rowan University was the 2008 recipient of the U.S. National Champion Exporter of the Year award as well as the President’s E-Star Export Award and the Export Achievement Award from the U.S. Department of Commerce. He hosts the nationally syndicated talk radio show “Truth for America,” produced by Atlantic Radio Network; writes the Conscientious Equity blog; and has appeared as a guest speaker at the United Nations and on numerous national network television news shows. The Legacy Companies, his successful global

trading conglomerate, includes the J. Cobo distribution company and manufacturers General, Zeroll and Omega. Career Academy students and teachers received signed copies of Asbury’s book, “Conscientious Equity: An American Entrepreneur’s Solution to the World’s Greatest Problems,” published by Palgrave MacMillan. In turn, the Career Academy program gifted Asbury with a rare framed map of Long Island. “Neal is a collector of history,” explained Malinowitzer. “This map will be hung next to his other maps in his office as a symbol of our friendship and the continued relationship between the East Islip Career Academy students and Mr. Asbury.” “We look forward to continuing our relationship with Neal Asbury and we will work together to offer our students a firsthand look at what it takes to run a manufacturing operation,” added Malinowitzer.

ENSEMBLE PERFORMS - Under the direction of music teacher Alyssa Sciarrino, select students from the East Islip High School String Orchestra gathered on December 7th to play at the annual tree lighting at Brookwood Hall. The ensemble, known as the Brookwood String Ensemble, performed a holiday program for community members that enhanced the evening’s holiday spirit. The group had previously performed at a Christmas party at Brookwood’s Joyce Fitzpatrick Senior Center three days earlier.

CHRISTMAS PAGEANT - Saint Patrick School had a Christmas celebration on Wednesday, December 11th, at Monsignor Purick Hall in Bay Shore. To start off the night, the Saint Patrick School Choir sang some lively Christmas songs. Following the choir was a great performance from the school band. At the end of the night, the 3rd and 4th grade came together for their annual Nativity Pageant. The 4th graders told the story of Jesus’ birth, while the 3rd graders did a wonderful job as the chorus, singing classic Christmas songs.

the importance of the trip, saying, “Seventeen years ago, attending the (Broadway) performance of Having Our Say had a profound effect on the students of Bay Shore and led to the formation of the BSSAEF. This year’s trip to the Signature Theater’s August Wilson play “How I Learned What I Learned” exposed students to another vibrant world available to them. Live theater, and interacting with professional artists, widens their horizon beyond television, movies and computers. This should be an annual event.” Students were treated to a Q&A session with actor Santiago-Hudson after the show. He told the audience, “This show is about what the world held for August Wilson after he

stepped out of his mother’s house, and what he found in his community. The lessons he learned in his own life helped him to become one of history’s greatest playwrights.” Santiago-Hudson went on to say, “Use your stories. You can do anything you aspire to do.” One Bay Shore student, Kordell Hammond, summed it up best, when speaking about Santiago-Hudson’s performance. “It was truly inspiring, especially to me as a young black actor. I was awe-struck by his ability to tell August Wilson’s story and make it so relatable.” Thanks again to the BSSAEF for their tireless efforts to help expose Bay Shore students to the power and vibrancy of the arts.

FIRE SAFETY LESSON - The Bay Shore Schools/Great South Bay YMCA UPK program at Mary G. Clarkson School celebrated Fire Safety by having firefighters from the Bay Shore Fire Department come and visit with students. The firefighters taught the children about fire safety and the importance of knowing to “Stop, Drop and Roll.” Students also had the opportunity to sit inside a fire truck and see all of its equipment. The Bay Shore Fire Department’s visit was a wonderful experience for all the students.

The winners of the East Islip School District’s Red Ribbon anti-drug slogan contest – fifthgraders Kelli Karlin of Connetquot Elementary, Emily Paiz of John F. Kennedy Elementary, Joelle Tomossone of Ruth C. Kinney Elementary and Ryann Youngberg of Timber Point Elementary – were honored at the Board of Education’s monthly business meeting on December 12th. The 26 members of the

high school’s Students Against Destructive Decisions club and adviser Bridget Lopiccolo were likewise recognized for their work in presenting Red Ribbon Week, during which the SADD members visited fifth-grade classes in the district’s four elementary schools, providing drug awareness and sponsoring the ribbon contest. The four Red Ribbon winners all earned prizes for their winning ribbons.

Also recognized at the meeting were East Islip High School varsity football senior Bobby Heyward, for being named co-winner of the Zellner Award for Suffolk County’s top lineman, and a total of 55 students ranging from grades 1-11 who participated in the EJ Autism Foundation’s Grounds for Change garden project.

Tree Lighting Heralded

It was a cold and rainy night, but the sounds of the holiday season echoed throughout East Islip’s Main Street as the Timber Point Chorus heralded the annual East Islip Fire Department Tree Lighting on December 6th. Along with performing groups from John F. Kennedy Elementary School and East Islip Middle School, the singers delighted the audience with the Israeli folk song “Kum Bahur” and “A New

Year’s Wish.” The audience enthusiastically joined in on the classic Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer. “I am so proud of our chorus students who braved the weather to represent Timber Point at this spirited community event,” said Kathy Carter, Timber Point’s chorus director. Enjoying the festivities to the fullest, the participating children were treated to hot chocolate and cookies courtesy of the fire house.

On December 5th, 191 Bay Shore High School students were mesmerized by playwright August Wilson’s storytelling power as they watched Ruben Santiago-Hudson’s performance of “How I Learned What I Learned” at the Signature Theatre in New York City. The Bay Shore Schools Arts Education Fund (BSSAEF) underwrote the entire cost of the trip so that students from African American Studies, African American Literature, Journalism, Film Study, Critic’s Choice, and US History classes could enjoy a classic NYC theatre experience while examining Wilson’s body of work through various lenses. One of BSSAEF’s founding members, Lillian Barbash, spoke about

“It was a pleasure to watch the Timber Point Chorus kick off the holiday season and display their talent at the tree lighting,” said parent Dawn LaMacchia, whose daughter, fifth-grader Hailey, is a member of the chorus. “It was an amazing experience,” added fifthgrader Kaila O’Hara. “I was very proud to sing with the Timber Point Chorus at this special East Islip community event.”

Food Drive Competition With a goal of donating more than 500 pounds of nonperishable food to Island Harvest in time for the December holidays, the Interact, Star, Soul and Junior Chamber of Commerce clubs at Islip High School hosted a friendly competition among homerooms. The four clubs challenged each homeroom to bring in the most nonperishable food items, with the winning class receiving a pancake breakfast. With 240 items

of donated food, the students in Sara Armano’s and David Pedersen’s homeroom classes tied for first place. On December 9th, during their homeroom period, the two classes enjoyed a full breakfast cooked by family and consumer science teacher and Interact Club adviser Judy Roth and the students in the Interact Club. “This is the first year we’ve held the competition along with the food drive,” said Mrs.

Roth. “We wanted to create more interest in the drive and get more participation among the students. It worked, as we collected more than 2,500 pounds of food – far surpassing our original goal of 550 pounds.” Renee Clock is the adviser of the Junior Chamber of Commerce, Melissa Miller and Liz Nolan are co-advisers of the Star Club, and Rahanna Schmalacker is the adviser to the Soul Club.

Exceptional Senior Islip High School senior and four-year varsity football defensive lineman Patrick Sheppard was selected to participate in the Suffolk County PAL’s annual Exceptional Senior all-star game on November 27th at Sachem North

High School. During the game, Patrick had two quarterback sacks, four tackles for a loss and three quarterback knockdowns, earning him recognition as the game’s defensive MVP. Although still

reviewing his options for postsecondary education, Patrick will continue his football career on the college level. Linebacker Craig Hinrichs and wide receiver Timothy Going also played in the all-star game.

Sport Stacking Record

FOOD DRIVE COMPETITION - Islip High School Interact members - junior Elijah Smalls and sophomore Kristin Maratta - help make pancakes for the winners of the school’s food drive competition.

Determined students at East Islip’s Ruth C. Kinney Elementary School joined with the World Sport Stacking Association and thousands of participating global organizations on November 14th to set a new Guinness World Record for “Most People Sport Stacking At Multiple Locations In One Day.” Guided by physical education teachers Bonnie Rabin and Bernie Ruhlig, the fourth- and WOMAN OF THE YEAR - Congratulations to Dr. LaQuita Outlaw, Bay Shore fifth-graders stacked cups Middle School Principal, who has been honored as Woman Of The Year In Education for 30 minutes during their physical education by the National Coalition of 100 Black Women, Suffolk County Chapter, Inc.

classes as part of the eighth annual Stack Up! event on Guinness World Records Day. All of the participating stackers were required to be engaged in sport stacking and various fitness activities for at least 30 minutes on the day of the event. RCK and the other worldwide participants were attempting to surpass last year’s record of 483,658 stackers set by 2,375 participating global organizations. According to the WSSA, the final record-breaking count this

year was 555,932 stackers, hailing from 30 countries and representing 2,631 schools and organizations. The documentation has now been submitted to Guinness for official recognition. “The Stack Up day was a huge success and such a great experience for myself and the students,” said Rabin, who hopes she and the students can participate in future sport stacking events. “They were excited to join their peers around the world to beat the record.”

On December 7th, over 400 attendees participated in Kids’ Day, a fun-filled event held as a tribute to long time Bay Shore resident Corey Swinson. The day featured free activities for children of all ages and focused on promoting wellness, linking two core aspects of Corey’s life - his love of children and physical education and sports. Kids’ Day organizers agreed that providing the Bay Shore community, especially Bay Shore’s children, with an opportunity to enjoy a variety of physical and interactive activities was something Corey would have supported. The day opened with a welcome message and announcement regarding the presentation of a bill, put forth in Albany by Assemblyman Phil Ramos, to rename the Fifth Avenue Bridge in Bay Shore the Corey J. Swinson Memorial Bridge. The children were then told about the activities available throughout the day, including basketball, using the wellness center treadmills, playing volleyball, or creating a loom bracelet to give away this holiday season. From 11am2pm, the halls of Bay Shore Middle School came alive with children and their parents shuttling between these

engaging options. Over 65 volunteers donated their time, supplies and services to ensure the event’s success and several Bay Shore employees and community residents supervised activities, which also included Dance-Dance

Revolution, a 3 vs. 3 basketball tournament and a poster making station. The highlight of the day was a visit from Sparkles the Clown, who traveled from New York City to donate her time. Eager faces smiled after being transformed by Sparkles’ beautiful face-painting designs

Pie Donation

class parents for the necessary ingredients and students learned about following a recipe by using utensils for measuring. At the final tally, Gardiner Manor School 4th grade students donated a whopping thirty-nine pies to local families in need, pies to be enjoyed on Thanksgiving Day by families that would have otherwise had none. Several local supermarkets

donated bakery boxes which were then decorated by members of the Gardiner Manor Service Society, under the guidance of adviser Mrs. Andrea Nieto. Finally, the pies were delivered by dedicated Gardiner Manor parents. Students discovered that giving to others is an excellent way to show gratitude for all they have been given.

and eyes lit up as she twisted balloons into flowers and animals. One child was heard saying, “You’re an expert at this.” DJ Drago provided music for the duration of the event. The Swinson family attended Kids’ Day and expressed their gratitude for the event. Superintendent of Bay Shore Schools Dr. Salmon and Bay Shore Board of Education President Mary Louise Cohen were also in attendance. One of Corey’s brothers shared that this event was part of the healing process, and seeing the number of people gathered demonstrated Corey’s impact on the community. Bilal Polson, one of the event’s organizers, expressed his appreciation to the Swinson family and all attendees for their support. Since Corey’s untimely passing, numerous events have been held, the next of which is planned for Sunday, December 15th, itself deemed Corey Swinson Day by the Town of Islip. That Sunday, the Nutty Irishman in Bay Shore will serve a buffet from 2-5PM, with entertainment by Rich Mahogany. Proceeds from the $40 entry fee will benefit the Corey J. Swinson Legacy Scholarship Fund.

and technology. Funded programs include museum inclusion programs; iPads and SmartBoards for classrooms; mentoring programs with peers; training for Spanish speaking families; theatre programs; support groups and more. “With the successful launch of last year’s Chapter Grants, we were pleased to expand the opportunity this year for local service providers to help fund unique and resourceful programs that will benefit our chapter communities and add to existing services for individuals with autism,” said Cathy Kanefsky, Autism Speaks vice president of Chapter Development. All recipients of the 2013 Autism Speaks Chapter Grants can be found on the Autism Speaks website, as well as the searchable online grant database.

Fill your day with warmth and joy Greet all you meet with a smile and a chuckle And there will be little or no breadth for greed or sadness.

Send Us Your Best Pics To Be Featured

Engage your heart and soul with love and happiness It will surely be met with similitude from those persons with whom you gather And there will be little expanse for complaints or grudges Enliven your spirit with wonderful interests and activities Think positive thoughts, be optimistic in your views, Share a kind word with a friend or colleague Present a firm grip and strong handshake And there will be little measure for misery and enmity Complete your surroundings with an aura of thankfulness and serenity An embrace, a hug, or perchance a welcome kiss will do And be well assured there will never be room for animosity.

By: Peggy Bayer, Islip I can touch my nose and I can count my toes. I can walk and talk and climb and run Just because it’s so much fun. I can be boisterous and loud Or shy and quiet lost in a crowd. I can run on tiptoes and sneak around the house. And when you’re looking for me, I can be quiet as a mouse. I have no inhibitions and will run naked all around Wet and dripping from the bath, without a towel found. Do I embarrass you? It’s so much fun for me! I’ll do the most outrageous things when you have company. I dumped the garbage on the floor and put your makeup on the cat. And when I tried to play dress-up, I ruined your best hat. And then you cried in woe and asked me why? I told you “I don’t know” – I didn’t have to lie. How can I do all this to you? How can I be so bold? I know you love me anyway; I’m only two years old.

Earning His Eagle Badge

Max Michael Gieraltowski successfully completed his Eagle Board of Review in June, 2013, officially making him the 45th Eagle Scout of Troop 205 of Great River. Max’s Eagle Court of Honor will be held on Tuesday, January 14th, starting at 7:30 p.m. at Timber Point Elementary School, 200 Timberpoint Road in East Islip. Max Gieraltowski is a member of Troop 205, sponsored by the Great River Fire Department, under the direction of Scoutmaster Mark Businski. On his “road to Eagle”, Max has served the troop as Senior Patrol Leader, Patrol Leader, Assistant Patrol Leader, Scribe, and Den Chief for the Cub Scouts in Pack 38. Max is also a member of the Order of the Arrow, the Boy Scout Honorary Camping Society. Max has also earned the following BSA Awards: Snorkeling BSA and Scuba BSA. Max has had many unique Scouting experiences, including being a member of the contingent to the National Boy Scout Sea Base – Scuba Live Aboard Adventure in 2013, The Troop

205 Adirondack Canoe Trek in 2010, the West Point Military Academy Camporee, Troop 205 trips to Washington, DC, Philadelphia, Gettysburg and Boston. Max has also attended summer camp at Camp Wakpominee in Fort Ann, NY for five summer seasons. To become an Eagle Scout, the Scout must earn 21 Merit Badges, of which 12 are specifically Eagle required, progress through six rank advancements – from Tenderfoot, Second Class, First Class, Star, Life, then Eagle, and also plan, develop, and implement a major Service Project for the Community. The Service Project that Max conducted with the assistance of his fellow Troop members, friends and family members, was the design and development of the Trinity Lutheran Preschool Playground benches, outdoor Xylophone, and “Musical Fence.” As Max reflects on his Scouting experience, he recently said, “My experiences with Scouting have been vast and meaningful. Scouting’s path has definitely molded me into the person I am today, with its Scout laws influencing every action and decision I make. Scouting has also guided me in my ambitions, and choosing my career.” Max goes on to say, ”No matter where life takes me, I know that the knowledge and morals Scouting has given me will lead me to

success in my education, my career, and my life.” Max is a Senior at East Islip High School, where he is ranked ninth in his graduating class for academic achievement, has been on the school’s Math Team, serving as the Secretary during the current academic year, and a member of the Math Honor Society serving as current Vice President. Max has also been on the High School Academic Team and Quiz Bowl. His plan after High School will be to attend college to major in mechanical engineering. Max has also been active in music, where he is a member of the East Islip High School Wind Ensemble serving as Vice President during the current academic year, the High School Jazz Band, Pep Band and the High School Symphonic Orchestra. Community Service has been important to Max as he has logged 72.5 hours of community service, including helping at the Trinity Lutheran Church Food Pantry and Food Drive, Peanut Butter and Jelly Gang at St. Anne’s Church, along with working on many Eagle Service Projects within Troop 205. Max is the son of Kath and Michael Gieraltowski of Islip Terrace and brother to Life Scout and Patrol Leader and 10th grader, Harrison. Max’s father, Michael is an Assistant Scoutmaster of Troop 205.

Golden Girl

East Islip High School senior Kaitlin Cronin has earned the prestigious Girl Scout Gold Award, which represents the highest achievement for high school members of the Girl Scouts of the United States of America. In order to complete the requirements of the award, she spent Monday afternoons at Timber Point Elementary School’s afterschool program, reading to the younger children, participating in related crafts and creating a donated portable library for the students. Logging in 80 hours of after-school reading at Timber Point, Cronin

scheduled her time with Stephen Guarino, the district’s director of art and music who also serves as the after-school program’s coordinator. To cover her expenses, Cronin collected and recycled bottles and cans and used the proceeds to purchase and donate the books for the Timber Point program’s library. “The goal of a Gold Award is for the project to be permanent or everlasting,” said her father, Ken Cronin, the former president of East Islip’s Board of Education. “Kaitlin’s legacy is the portable library for the afternoon program to use and enjoy for years to

come.” Recognizing what the Girl Scouts term “the extraordinary efforts of extraordinary girls,” the award began in 1916 as the Golden Eaglet insignia, later dubbed the Curved Bar and First Class awards before being titled the Gold Award in 1980. “Katie Cronin’s willingness to give back to her community represents all we try to instill in our young people – a sense of East Islip pride and compassion,” said Superintendent of Schools Linda Rozzi. “We are so proud of Katie’s achievement.”

LeVien. “You put a little bit of their work up in the beginning and you build until you get to the final project.” Throughout the module, the students read seven different tall tales and fairy tales and learned about various characteristics and traits of each. To culminate their unit of study, the students wrote three paragraphs detailing the characteristics and traits of each tale and explaining which they preferred and

why. “The kids really enjoyed the process board because they were excited to see it building, and to see which writing pieces were chosen to appear on the hallway bulletin board,” said Mr. LeVien. “To make sure everyone was included, we expanded our process board into the classroom. It took us five weeks to get to the final board, but it was a fun process.”

When Maud S. Sherwood Elementary School speech language pathologist Deborah Velasquez heard author and autism advocate Jesse Saperstein speak at a conference, she knew she needed to invite him to speak at Sherwood. On December 13th, Mr. Saperstein volunteered his time to speak with faculty at the Islip school and work oneon-one with two students recently diagnosed with a form of autism. “He’s just incredible,” said Ms. Velasquez. “To be able to ask solid questions about what is going on in the head of an autistic individual is so beneficial to the faculty.” Mr. Saperstein, who was diagnosed at the age of 14 with Asperger’s syndrome, a mild form of autism, spoke A PROCESS OF TALES - A few students from Robb LeVien’s second-grade class about compensating for at Maud S.

Our students are going to be great adults.” To thank him for his visit, Ms. Velasquez presented Mr. Saperstein with two frames featuring the students’ fingerprints, as well as a poem she had written.

I wanted to turn it into something positive. People are more likely to move forward than let go.” Mr. Saperstein also gave insight and advice pertaining to reallife lessons regarding education, being social, and working and getting along with others.
