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

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.

Sixth Grade Scientists The Long Island Geographic Information Systems User Group (LIGIS) held its annual fall conference on Wednesday, November 16th, at Stony Brook University’s Wang Center. Sayville High School’s Research in Science and Engineering teacher, Maria Brown, co-presented with Samantha Hmelovsky, a bright and talented sixth grader at Sayville Middle School. The title of their presentation was, “Using ARC GIS Online to Analyze Student-collected Environmental Data.” Samantha presented the findings of her outstanding geospatial research on water quality related to biodiversity in the Carmans River, which she conducted as a fifth grader under the guidance of teacher Kathy Whitehurst. Samantha, along with twenty four other prodigious fifth graders, was trained to use Arc GIS Online during the 2015 STEM Symposium held at Lincoln Avenue Elementary School. This training was done in collaboration with the New York State Central Pine Barrens Commission’s program, “Day in the Life of a River,” directed by local Sayville resident, Melissa Parrott. The training also combined efforts with Brookhaven National Laboratory’s “Open Space Stewardship” program, directed by Melvyn Morris. Samantha shared her geospatial analysis of potential pollutants and land uses that may be adversely impacting water quality and therefore, biodiversity in different sections of the river. She also shared her personal experience using ArcGIS Online and concluded,
“ ‘I wish I could use it every day!’” Her presentation was well-received by industry academics, non-governmental organizations, and students as well as staff members of Stony Brook University. Both Samantha and fellow student Adam Burgardt received awards for their posters
at the conference. Additionally, Samantha and Adam’s exceptionally advanced posters were accepted into ESRI’s International GIS User Group Conference, Map Gallery, held in San Diego, California in June of 2016. The pair placed first and second, respectively, for the elementary poster category. Both were recognized for their superior work by Sayville’s Board of Education in November of 2016.

Growing Your Business Is My Business!
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 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. Funding is provided under New York State’s Homeless Housing & Assistance Program,

(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.

Continued From 5 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.
Proudly Serving The Community Since 1953! “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.”

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.

Spreading Cheer
SUFFOLK ZONE 4 - NEIGHBOR NEWSPAPERS - WEDNESDAY JANUARY 4, 2017 • www.southbaysneighbor.com
In an effort to make the holidays bright for those in the community, students from Sycamore and Idle Hour Elementary Schools in the Connetquot Central School District visited with residents at the Arbors Assisted Living Facility in Bohemia in late December. Sycamore Avenue Elementary School second-graders met with their “Grandfriends” to showcase the spectacular songs they have been
learning within their music classes. Under the direction of Sycamore music teacher Rachel White the students took turns singing and playing instruments on seasonal themed songs. Additionally, the students presented their “Grandfriends” with special ornaments they crafted within their art classes as a token of appreciation for inviting them into their home. Additionally, Idle Hour
Elementary School fourthgrade students within Patrick Brennan’s and Tracy McIntyre’s classes spread some holiday cheer by showcasing their newly attained ukulele skills, taught to them exclusively by Idle Hour Elementary School music teacher Kathy Daugherty. The students also created projects for their seniors to put on display during the holiday season.
Digging Up History Eleventh- and 12thgrade students enrolled within Connetquot High School’s Introduction to Anthropology class, taught by Terry Lafrance, recently used their knowledge of excavating to dig up “artifacts” from the school’s courtyard. The course, which is the only one throughout all of Long Island to offer students college credit in partnership with Farmingdale State College,
includes archaeological elements as a significant portion of the coursework. During the excavating project at the high school, the students were split into four separate zones, and designated their own spot to uncover “artifacts.” The groups used their newly attained skills to dig up artifacts, classify what they were, and properly mark down the proper numerical values. In addition to their in-
class work, the students had the chance to view the work of professionals during a recent field trip to the Sackler Educational Lab, located within the American Museum of Natural History. During the trip, the students participated in a hands-on experiment and used their newly acquired knowledge to identify the gender and height statistics of an individual based on their “bones.”

PROCLAMATION PRESENTED - Recently, Legislator Barraga presented Sam P. Meyer from Bay Shore with a proclamation in recognition for obtaining the designation of Eagle Scout. In order to achieve the rank of Eagle Scout, a young man must exhibit leadership, talent, character and perseverance.

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.”
Robotics Invitational 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 castle and climbing the tower – which resulted in extra points. 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.

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.

(NAPSI)—If you or someone you care about is over 65, you may be able to get your hands on a lot more money than you realize, if you have a life insurance policy with a face amount of $100,000 or more. That’s because many people can sell their insurance policy and get a cash payment through what is known as a life settlement. The buyer pays all future premiums and receives the death benefit when the policy matures. This sort of transaction is not for everyone, but it may be an option for you if you meet qualifications such as: 1. The age and health of the insured: Seniors who are age 65 years or older. Younger insureds may qualify, depending on certain medical conditions. 2. The type of policy: While just about every type of insurance policy can be used, including term insurance, the majority of policies sold are universal life insurance policies. 3. The premiums: The amount of the premium payments to keep the policy in force also plays a
role in the amount you’re offered. 4. The policy’s face value: Policies with benefits of more than $100,000 are most sought after but some smaller policies can still be sold. What It’s Worth While the ultimate selling price is influenced by what investors are willing to pay at the time, the selling price of a life policy will always be greater than the cash surrender value but less than the death benefit. Why Do It Selling your policy can help you in many ways. It can preserve your standard of living, relieve you from premium payments, increase your ability to invest and, if necessary, fund longterm care. Where to Get Help Fortunately, there are people who can help. The members of the Life Insurance Settlement Association (LISA) educate consumers and advisers about a life settlement while they advance the highest standards of practice and professional development. In fact, all LISA members are subject to a rigorous vetting process and must
accept a Code of Ethics. Learn More For further facts, or to find a life settlement professional who can help you look into this option and see if it makes sense for you, call (800) 6649024 or visit www.lisa. org. The quick and convenient over-thephone hearing test, developed with funding from the National Institutes of Health, is scientifically validated and not for profit, and its results remain private to the user.

Cabin air filters clean the incoming air, removing allergens, as long as they’re replaced regularly. “A dirty or clogged cabin air filter can cause contaminants to become so concentrated in the cabin that passengers actually breathe in more fumes and particles when riding in the car than when walking down the street,” explained Rich White, executive director, Car Care Council. “Replacing the cabin air filter is a simple way for you and your passengers to breathe easier while driving.” In addition to trapping pollen, bacteria, dust and exhaust gases, the cabin air filter prevents leaves, bugs and other debris from entering the

heating, ventilating and air-conditioning (HVAC) system. A restricted cabin air filter can mean musty odors in the vehicle and impair airflow in the HVAC system, possibly causing interior heating and cooling problems. Over time, the heater and air conditioner may also become damaged by corrosion. Cabin air filters should not be cleaned and reinstalled. Instead, they should be replaced every 12,000 to 15,000 miles, or per the owner’s manual. Most filters are accessible through a panel in the HVAC housing, which may be under the hood or in the interior of the car. An automotive service technician can locate the cabin filter and replace it according to the vehicle’s
owner manual. Some filters require basic hand tools to remove and install their replacement while others just need your hands. To learn more about cabin air filters, view the Car Care Council’s Car Care Minute video and see the free digital “Car Care Guide.” Motorists can also order a free printed copy of the popular guide. The Car Care Council is the source of information for the “Be Car Care Aware” consumer education campaign promoting the benefits of regular vehicle care, maintenance and repair to consumers.

Four Ways To Prepare Your House For The Cold (NAPSI)—You can be better able to keep your home cozy and comfortable when it’s cold outside when you consider these four tips: • Drain outdoor water sources: Before the next big freeze, make sure to drain all hoses, outdoor faucets and irrigation systems of any remaining water and cover exposed
areas with some form of insulation. Leftover water can expand when it freezes, causing pipes to burst. • Clean your gutters: Branches, leaves and debris have likely been falling onto your roof and making a permanent home in your gutters. It’s important to keep gutters free of debris so water drains properly. Blocked gutters can create
ice dams, letting water leak inspection also keeps you back into the house and safe from allergens and cause roof damage. excess levels of carbon monoxide. • Inspect the furnace: • Keep the heat inside: The last thing anyone While one of the best ways wants to deal with when to control the temperature colder weather arrives inside your house is is the furnace not through insulation, more working. Get your furnace than 30 percent of the inspected every autumn energy used to heat and to check functionality cool a room depends on and efficiency. A proactive the windows. That’s why
installing a window film, such as 3M Thinsulate Window Film Climate Control Series, can increase a window’s insulation value, so a single-pane window performs close to a double-pane and a doublepane close to a triple-pane. Another way to maximize energy efficiency can be to install 3M Sun Control Window Film
Prestige Series. It rejects 97 percent of infrared light and 99 percent or more of damaging UV rays. Learn More For further facts about window film or to find a 3M Authorized Window Film Dealer nearby, visit www.3M.com/windowfilm.

(NAPSI)—If living a healthier life is your cup of tea, you may be interested in an easy way to improve your health—using the natural antioxidant powers of tea. Almost half of all Americans are overweight and have dangerously high levels of cholesterol. Heart attacks are still the No. 1 killer in the U.S. The problem is that high cholesterol and your risk
may be greater than you think. According to American Heart Association guidelines, the acceptable level of “bad cholesterol” is 30 percent lower than it used to be only a few years ago. This means that millions of Americans, including those who never dreamed they were at risk, now are. Fortunately, there are natural, nonprescription

Naturally Lowering Cholesterol alternatives for lowering cholesterol. For example, heart-healthy products such as TeaFlavin, an all-natural, caffeine-free capsule made from tea extract, contain as much cholesterol-fighting power as 35 cups of green tea.
