Research Paper Published Two Suffolk County Community College students’ research papers have been published on the web site Skeptical Science whose goal is to explain what peer reviewed science has to say about global warming. The web site says, “Skeptical Science removes the politics from the debate by concentrating solely on the science.” Christopher J. Mignano of Shirley and Neil P. Costa of Shoreham, both students of Professor of Physical Sciences and Assistant Chair of

the Physical Sciences Department Scott Mandia debunked two climate change myths as part of their research in Mandia’s Global Climate Change Class. In The Medieval Climate Anomaly: A Myth Debunked, Christopher Mignano wrote that Global Climate change skeptics erroneously point to data regarding the Medieval Warm Period as evidence that the current warming observed by scientists globally is part of a natural, cyclical climate phenomenon and therefore not anthropic.

Laura Xenakis 631-255-8026

Realty Connect USA 334 Deer Park Ave., Babylon Village NY 631-881-4403

These sceptics often use a practice known as “cherry picking” to mine data that support their arguments while ignoring the remaining data that could potentially refute it. Mignano continued later in his research with: …today’s warming is global in scope, (whereas the warming experienced during the Medieval Warm Period was regional) and global temperatures then, were cooler than today. In fact, recent research conducted by Shaun A. Marcott et al and published in the journal Science suggest global temperatures are warmer today than at any time in the last 20,000 years (Skeptical Science, 2014). In student Neil Costa’s research paper, The Serious Nature of Ocean Acidification and Its Implications for Human Beings, Costa wrote that:

One of the greatest myths perpetuated by the global climate change contrarians is that ocean acidification is not serious. This is not true. Ocean acidification has been proven to be occurring, and is a result of unnatural amounts of carbon being introduced into the atmosphere by humans. More importantly, ocean acidification is a serious issue, and is capable of putting extreme stress on human beings. This myth, this ignorance of the dangers associated with ocean acidification, does not take into account the fundamental balance of the oceanic ecosystem, as well as human reliance on it. Ocean acidification destroys the calcium carbonate covers plankton protect themselves with through the unavailability of materials and outright

corrosion. This decreases the plankton population’s size, vigor and number, leading to adverse effects on the populations of all other oceanic species that play a role in this food chain, including humans, a sizeable portion of who rely on seafood as their primary source of protein. Professor Mandia’s course, Global Climate Change, brings modern climate change science to undergraduate liberal arts students and provides students with the scientific background to understand the role of natural and humanforced climate change so that they are better prepared to become involved in the discussion. Students learn how past climates are determined and why humans are causing most of the observed modern day warming. The technical and political solutions to

climate change are also discussed. “Very quickly, students come to realize that climate change is the most important news story they are not hearing enough about,” Mandia said. “They also realize that action is required now if we wish to avoid the most serious consequences. I am fond of telling my students that I hope there are 35 activated climate change ambassadors by the time the semester is finished.” Professor Mandia is one of 13 international scientists and professors who are instructors in the Massive Online Open Course (MOOC) titled Making Sense of Climate Science Denial. This MOOC is set to go live in April 2015 and is produced by The University of Queensland, Australia.

in hopes of winning a scholarship this school year,” said Bob Kaufman, president emeritus of Bob’s Discount Furniture. “Since this scholarship program launched in 2009, we’ve awarded nearly $650,000 to hundreds of students in Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Jersey and New York, and we look forward to awarding students again this year.” Kaufman knows the crucial importance of a sufficient blood supply. Medical crises required two of his family members to receive many blood transfusions. He lost his father Leo Kaufman and his 16-year-old nephew Scott Mulready to leukemia. The Kaufman family is forever thankful for the extra time with them made possible, in part, by blood donors. Through the generosity of Bob, employees, customers and members of the community, Bob’s Discount Furniture blood drives have collected more than 38,000 units of lifesaving blood. Students who host at least two high school blood drives throughout the year and achieve an annual participation rate of at least 30 percent of age-eligible students at their schools qualify to win a base scholarship of $250. Students who meet those initial requirements are also eligible to win additional scholarships, including up to eight $1,000 grand prize scholarships per winning school, which is determined by totaling the blood units donated from each school. The winners in each state are determined by the number of students who donate and the total units collected.

High school students in New York are helping maintain the community blood supply by donating 1,100 lifesaving units of blood so far this school year. Students have three more months left in the academic year to make a meaningful difference for hospital patients and aim to win a scholarship from the Bob’s Discount Furniture $250,000 High School Heroes Scholarship Program. The Bob’s High School Heroes Scholarship Program recognizes students who make exceptional contributions to the American Red Cross blood donation program in their schools, and helps encourage young people to become involved by helping patients in need. High school students play an important role in supporting a sufficient blood supply. Blood donations at high school and college blood drives account for up to 20 percent of donations during the school year, which is why scholarship programs like Bob’s High School Heroes are important in ensuring blood is available to patients whenever and wherever it is needed. Bob’s Discount Furniture has been partnering with the Red Cross for more than 18 years. “High school students are inspired to roll up their sleeves to help patients, thanks to the Bob’s High School Heroes Scholarship Program,” said Kay Schwartz, CEO, American Red Cross New York-Penn Blood Services Region. “The scholarship program helps the Red Cross make a difference in the lives of patients and empowers high school students to take a leadership role.” “We’re impressed with how successful high school blood drives are so far and we challenge students to finish strong

Buddies By: Jamie Lynn Ryan On February 16th, my “half-birthday,” I decided the time was right to adopt another fish to join the family. As of this writing, “Buddy” – as I dubbed my aqua-colored delta-fin betta fish – is adjusting quite nicely to life in his betta bowl. He swims, he floats, he eats… although not when I’m in the vicinity. I literally found myself crouching down out of sight to see if he was, in fact, eating. Most fish can’t wait for that first flake to drop; Buddy, not so much. Perhaps he’s just self-conscious. But I finally caught him in the act, sucking down a betta pellet and – get

this – chewing it thoroughly. I know, I know… fish don’t have teeth. But his motions mimicked a dog munching on a treat, breaking it down bit by bit until he had fully digested his dinner. That’s my Buddy, pretty and quirky and providing some of the best entertainment this side of the aquarium since my dearly departed finned friends, Harry and Harvey. By all accounts, bettas have a much more substantial lifespan than your average goldfish, so let’s hope Buddy hangs in for a while. Of course, I suppose he could already be pushing 3 years old as we speak, so his longevity remains to be seen. For me, the biggest test will

be the weekly water change / “bath time” process, that unwelcome disturbance of fishbowl tranquility that all marine life seems to detest. Unfortunately for Buddy, he has no shrubbery or decorative toys to hide behind – yet. We’ll see if I can find something appropriate for his little underwater kingdom. For now, he’ll just have to deal with being on full display for all to see. Hopefully, Buddy will still be flitting around come August 16th, and we can celebrate his “half-birthday” along with my “full” one. In any case, he now has a column to officially commemorate his arrival. Just what every fish wants.

SHOULD PRO TEAMS BE HELD TO A HIGHER STANDARD THAN LITTLE LEAGUES? SUBMITTED BY: SAHIL KAPOOR, LINDENHURST HIGH SCHOOL

Every athlete or coach does his/ her best to win, to earn awards and to be famous. Some people might go farther than they should to achieve this goal. Not only in little leagues or school teams do people cheat, but also in professional leagues. There have been many cases where people have cheated to get what they strived for. Does this mean they should be stripped of their awards? What if it was the coach’s fault and not the athletes? Who should be penalized for it? This year in the NFL, it has been alleged that the Patriots cheated their way into the Super Bowl. They deflated the footballs so it was easier for the quarterbacks and the running backs to hold and the receivers to catch. Every team member had to

have noticed the difference in the footballs, but yet no one did anything. An even bigger surprise is that the coach and quarterback denied any knowledge of it. Did they get what they wanted? Yes. The Patriots cheated their way into winning the Super Bowl. This is not the first time they have cheated to win the Super Bowl. First it was “Spy-Gate”; now it’s Deflate-Gate. However, they weren’t penalized for their actions. They have kept their titles and enjoyed victory parades. Yet, in the case with the Jackie Robinson West team, all the Little League athletes were stripped of their title. In that situation, the team “was stripped of its national title after an investigation revealed that team officials had falsified area boundaries. They did this

to add ineligible players to the roster.” (Newsday) In this case, the athletes couldn’t possibly have been aware of the fact that what the team officials did was illegal. Yet all their hard work had been for nothing. Every win they had was taken away from them. So, why were these children stripped of their titles, but the Patriots got to keep their wins? The Patriots’ wins were the biggest accomplishment in the football industry. Why is it that the little leagues have been stripped of their title but the professional leagues haven’t? Even though cheating in the first place isn’t right, should the athletes be punished if it wasn’t their fault? That’s your opinion to decide.

TWO SENIOR DOGS FOUND TOGETHER On a cold day in January, Little Shelter went out on rescue. This is nothing new; they do it all the time. But on this day, a very special rescue was made. This was the day that Betty and Wilma were given a second chance at life. Betty and Wilma are two senior Labrador mixes. These two ladies were found wandering the streets by a local town shelter. They were aimlessly walking together, in the dead of winter. Of course, Betty and Wilma aren’t their real names; we’ll never know their names. Wilma and Betty weren’t wearing tags and they weren’t microchipped. They simply had to fend for themselves. Wilma is a sweet, sassy Chocolate Lab; and best friend, Betty, is a lively and loveable Black Lab. These wonderful dogs are truly inseparable. Their kennels are right next to each other at Little Shelter, but of course, that’s not close enough. These girls whine and cry for each other and are just ecstatic when then have the opportunity to play together. Betty and Wilma are happy-go-lucky and full of energy. They love people, adore each other and are a pleasure to be with. Because these ladies are so attached, Little Shelter is looking for a family to adopt both of them. If you have room in your home and your heart for Wilma and Betty, please call or stop by Little Shelter. Little Shelter is located at 33 Warner Road in Huntington. Call 631.368.8770, extension 21, for more information, or stop by the Shelter during business hours, 12:00 noon to 5:00 p.m. on weekends and 1:00 to 7:00 p.m. on weekdays. TO HAVE YOUR SHELTER INCLUDED IN NEIGHBOR PET’S PLACE, CONTACT JAMIE LYNN RYAN AT 631.226.2636, EXTENSION 275, OR VIA E-MAIL AT: JLYNN@THENEIGHBORNEWSPAPERS.COM

Made in the USA. Est. 1979

The Longwood Board of Education is pleased to announce that Longwood High School Principal Dr. Maria Castro has been appointed as the assistant superintendent for instruction and learning, effective July 1st. Dr. Castro replaces Dr. Phyllis E. Sterne who retired from the District on December 31st, 2014. “I am thrilled to be appointed to the position of assistant superintendent and look forward to working collaboratively with the teachers and administrators in the District to continue the work already underway at Longwood Schools,”

said Dr. Castro. “My goal is to ensure that we provide all of our students with curriculum and classrooms that are engaging and challenging, as well as to inspire each of our students to meet and exceed their academic potential.” Dr. Castro’s employment at Longwood School District began in September 2001 when she was hired as an ESL high school teacher. She was appointed as assistant principal at the high school in November 2005 and has served as principal since July 2011. Prior to her tenure at Longwood Schools, Dr. Castro served as an elementary education teacher, computer technology teacher and taught English as a Second Language in the New York City school system. Dr. Castro received both her undergraduate degree in elementary education and her master’s degree in Teaching English

to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL) at Queens College. She earned her professional degree in Administration Leadership and her doctorate in Educational Leadership and Accountability at St. John’s University. Superintendent of Schools Dr. Michael Lonergan praised Dr. Castro’s experience with the Longwood community, as well as her unique background in early childhood education, elementary school, middle school language arts and reading, and university teaching. “The selection of Dr. Castro was the result of a community-based interview process that included teachers, administrators, parents and other school staff,” said Dr. Lonergan. “We were all impressed with her ability to quickly identify the challenges and opportunities within the District.”

Registration Upcoming must be received by the District no later than 3:00 p.m. on March 18th, 2015. Students will be selected by a lottery system on April 14th, 2015. “Research has shown that young children who participate in a quality Pre-K program enter school with better learning skills,” said CCSD Superintendent Lynda G. Adams. “We are confident that our Pre-K program will be an excellent addition to the high quality education and academic experience we offer our students. We strongly encourage parents of young children in our District to apply by the deadline.” Connetquot Central School District will contract the services of five (5) early childhood education service providers including SCOPE Education Services in Oakdale;

Starting Early (DDI), Early Discoveries Center and The Nursery School, all in Ronkonkoma; and The Nursery Academy in Islandia. For an additional charge, parents can take advantage of extended care at Early Discoveries and The Nursery Academy.

Caring For Granite Countertops (NAPSI)—Granite countertops are the most popular option available when it comes to kitchen or bathroom remodeling. They look great, they’re durable, but they can also cost thousands of dollars. Granite requires special care and attention because it’s a natural stone. Here are a few tips to help you protect your investment:

• Seal your countertops: According to the Marble Institute of America, an industry group, granite countertops should be sealed so that the stone is more resistant to dirt and spills. Check with the manufacturer or retailer about the best kind of sealer to use on food preparation areas. • Be careful what

you clean with: Never use ammonia—based products-or cleaners containing vinegar, lemon or orange—on your granite countertops. Avoid abrasive cleaners such as dry or soft cleansers. Don’t use cleaning products that contain acid such as bathroom, grout, or tub and tile cleaners. Specialty granite cleaners can be

used, but they can be expensive. There’s a way to stretch your dollars. • Mind your budget: JAWS Glass & Hard Surface Cleaner (www.jawscleans. com) cleans granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, glass and even your flat-screen TV. It’s also non-toxic and costs less than most other cleaners because each

JAWS product is actually two bottles in one. (The cartridge refill is attached to the bottle.) There are also some other basic preventive measures you can take to protect your granite countertops: • Use coasters: Place a coaster under all glasses, particularly those containing alcohol or

citrus juices that can etch or dull the surface of many stone countertops. • Use trivets or mats: They’ll protect your granite countertop from hot dishes and help avoid scratches. Granite countertops can really add spark to a kitchen or bathroom. Proper care will keep them looking beautiful.

Christine Little baby girl of mine Been waiting for you a very long time Doc says, “Mrs., she’s a beauty” “Of course,” I reply Can’t be any less then mama’s little cutie And so it begins This arduous and awesome journey Through years of laughter, hugs and, at times, sorrows There you are, always striving for the best in all your tomorrows As I pick up the phone I’m reminded of a milestone “Mom, it’s my 50th birthday and we’re having a party” The sound of her voice, so full of life So hale and hearty I close my eyes and there you are Wrapped in my arms My first born Mommy and Daddy’s shining star

At long last, you have a niece of your own To cherish and love long after she’s grown Upon your heart, you will feel the lifelong effect Of having a special person to hold dear and protect Natural are the celebrations for every “first step” As if she was your own, idly unfruitful, you accept Thus your family will grow, as new branches are added Making stronger the bonds, and the love “maxi padded” Never break any branches, God’s wish it shall be To ensure the continuous and prolific family tree

On February 10th, LICADD gathered a group of friends to travel to the state capital in Albany to advocate for families and individuals who are in recovery and who need to be in treatment. The topics of discussion revolved around sober home regulation and early prevention through education. “Sober homes currently are not regulated,” says LICADD Executive Director Steve Chassman, LCSW, CASAC who sits on the Suffolk County Recovery Home Oversight Committee. “In order to have an effective and inhabitable sober home there will need to be standards and practices that meet best practices and protocols.” What is a sober home? A sober home is where individuals live after intensive treatment. They move into a home that is safe and free of drugs and alcohol and where they can embrace recovery. This supportive environment provides aftercare and a safe haven for individuals to take the steps needed

to continue their journey and reintegrate into the community armed with the coping skills to manage everyday stressors and the pressures of everyday living. The advocacy effort pressed on to address early prevention through education. “Schools need access to funds to provide earlier education for increasing protective factors for children at-risk of developing substance abuse issues,” says Teri Kroll, LICADD’s PUSH coordinator. “Encouraging grass roots community partnerships to provide these services is an effective and low cost solution to a growing problem,” added Steve Chassman, LCSW, CASAC. Senator Phil Boyle, who headed up the Heroin Task Force in 2014 was in attendance. The task force hosted 18 forums across the state, had over 2,300 attendees, and listened to over 60 hours of testimony. The information and insights from the Task Force resulted in crafting 23 pieces of legislation.

These bills supported by Republicans and Democrats will help to encourage prevention, enhance treatment options and strengthen law enforcement. LICADD is Long Island’s premier nonprofit agency providing life-saving alcohol and drug prevention and intervention services to atrisk children, individuals, and families across the region. With offices in Mineola, Ronkonkoma and Riverhead, LICADD conducts screenings, brief interventions, referrals to treatment and relapse prevention services to individuals and families impacted by substance abuse. The agency also conducts evidence-based prevention programs, community outreach initiatives, and a mentoring program for children of incarcerated parents and public policy advocacy. More information about LICADD’s services is available online at www. licadd.org. or find them on Facebook.
