Collaborative Project

Different Dimension By: Alexandra H. Rodrigues

Sensation chases sensation No man could give me that before A strange body-devouring elation Keeps pleading “encore, encore.”

Edward J. Bosti Elementary School recently welcomed Connetquot Central School District Spanish language teachers along with several members of the Connetquot National Foreign Language Honor Society for a collaborative project with Bosti’s fifth-

grade C-Quest students. Throughout the course of their visit, Ann Marie Lombardi of OakdaleBohemia Middle School and Will Bedell of Connetquot High School along with the students worked with the fifth-graders to further their understanding of the culture, geography

and worldwide use of the Spanish language. By utilizing fun games and activities, students learned about the traditional Hispanic holiday known as the “Day of the Dead,” as well as numbers, days of the week and months of the year.

No this is not caused by any sex play Nor by what actual touch does relay It happens if I let you occupy my mind As access to your secret thoughts I find. At those times imagination plays tricks It lets make-believe with reality mix A duet in love’s melody we will play Each of us free to act our favorite way.

A Sparrow of Delight By: John McGowan

SUFFOLK ZONE 5 - NEIGHBOR NEWSPAPERS - WEDNESDAY MARCH 1, 2017 • www.southbaysneighbor.com

Looking out my window I saw a sparrow nibbling on a twig How unconcerned he seemed to be At problems besetting me His tiny head jerked left and right Alert to encroachments which may alight Following nature’s course with assiduous delight You can learn a lot from creatures such as these Who don’t get bogged down with heavy thought Simply doing what they’re meant to do Capturing a comfort that I’ve sought.

When I Leave Home By: Emily Franciscovich

When I leave home I feel alone When I leave home I leave my comfort zone My life pauses I don’t feel as safe Wherever I’m off to It just won’t be the same Even if I’m playing my favorite game A little later, when I start to walk home I get all excited thinking about being home Before I know it, I’m on my front step About to be welcomed into the comforts of home When I open my door I run straight to my room And fall into bed Loving it like never before And fall into a deep, comforting sleep

Academic Honor

As a result of her continued academic promise and success, Connetquot High School senior Abigail Savit has been named a finalist in the 2017 National Merit Scholarship Program. Abigail is one of 15,000 students throughout the

nation to achieve finalist standing after being selected as a semifinalist earlier this school year. She earned these honors based on her outstanding PSAT score (1480 out of 1520), academic record and successful completion of a comprehensive application

process. She will be notified in May if she is one of the 7,500 students across the nation who will receive one of the National Merit Scholarships, worth approximately $33 million in total.

Are We There Yet? By: Jamie Lynn Ryan

I’m fairly good with directions. For someone who, as a passenger, is rather oblivious to her surroundings, once in the driver’s seat, I can generally navigate with little trouble. Of course, in this day and age, there is always the added benefit of GPS to fall back on. And by benefit, I mean often maddening source of frustration and bewilderment. Case in point: my friend and I have, over the last several years, attended several of the laser light shows at the Vanderbilt Planetarium. Of course, there are several possible routes to take, but all roads ultimately lead to one winding, somewhat meandering path through the

hilly terrain of Centerport. As these shows are generally in the evening, I always plug the address into the phone’s map so as to be sure I don’t miss a turn en route. Of the approximately half a dozen times we have headed this way, I can honestly say we have never managed to travel the same way twice. Never. Not once. Just last week, as if to prove the point, my phone’s darling virtual assistant proceeded to take us on a grand tour of the residential area surrounding the planetarium, complete with dozens of unnecessary turns (followed by U-turn’s and “rerouting”), forks in the road (continue heading straight, she said) and even a pass over a small body of water (do you remember there

being a bridge here before?). And on the return trip, there was more of the same – except, not quite the same, as we detoured through an entirely different neighborhood. How is this possible?? At a certain point, it became more a source of amusement, a fun guessing game as to which way she might send us next. Amazingly, our time of arrival only fluctuated by a minute or so, in spite of the fact that our route never came close to matching the virtually straight line that had appeared on the map. It was a bizarre journey, to be sure – and will continue to be, should we venture that way again. That, at least, seems to be a guarantee.

Continued From 2 competition showcases best practices, rewards excellence, and trains high school students to apply sophisticated knowledge and skills attributed to business professionals and college students.” “The Long Island Virtual Enterprises Business Plan Competition is made possible as part of the Perkins Grant Consortium,” said Ms. Gene Silverman, Executive Director of the Nassau BOCES Department of Career and Technical Education and facilitator of the consortium. “This is one of the many ways the grant enriches the lives of students throughout Nassau County, by giving them real-world workplace skills while still in high school.”

HIT THE JACKPOT?

All Aboard the Cookie Train The Girl Scouts of Nassau County (GSNC) announced today that this year’s Girl Scout Cookie® booth sales will begin at various Long Island Railroad (LIRR) stations throughout Nassau County March 2nd to March 24th. As part of the annual program, GSNC Troops will set up shop at their local railroad stations in an effort to both gain entrepreneurial experience and provide commuters with the opportunity to buy Girl Scout Cookies. The Girl Scout Cookie® booth sales are an essential part of the Girl Scout Cookie® Program, teaching Girl Scouts the five entrepreneurial skills that are essential for every business owner: decision making, goal setting, money management, business ethics and effective communication. “Our Troops are excited to bring their booth sales to local train stations and make buying Girl Scout Cookies® easier for busy commuters before Girl Scout Cookie® season ends on March 28th,” said Donna Ceravolo, CEO of the Girl Scouts of Nassau County. “Booth sales give our girls the opportunity to gain valuable hands-on entrepreneurial skills they will carry with them for

To Be Honored

Prominent labor leader, Randi Weingarten, president of the American Federation of Teachers, AFL-CIO will be honored by The Suffolk Community College Foundation at its annual Salute to Excellence Gala, whose proceeds will be used to fund need and merit-based scholarships, emergency student loans and quality academic enrichment programs. The Foundation distributed more than $650,000 in scholarships and aid last year. The Salute to Excellence Gala celebrating Weingarten and the college will be held on May 4th at

the Hilton Long Island in Huntington. “We will celebrate and recognize a great labor leader whose advocacy for education and the middle class has helped advanced the most important engine in creating the American Dream and a better life for each generation,” said Suffolk County Community College President Dr. Shaun L. McKay. “The mission of the Foundation is to reduce the economic barriers to higher education and foster student success. The Salute to Excellence Gala is the College’s single largest

BUILDING LIFE LESSONS - Students within Julie Ahern’s class at Connetquot Central School District’s Edward J. Bosti Elementary School recently bundled up in their warm winter clothing to go outside and build snowmen. As the students progressed with the construction of their frozen friends, they also gained valuable knowledge regarding temporal words, teaching them the proper steps in order to complete their task at hand, which they will be able to incorporate into their written “How To” projects.

In keeping with their highly successful “Leader in Me” program, Student Lighthouse members at Edward J. Bosti Elementary School in the Connetquot Central School District recently came together to discuss ways they could help make their school be a more positive and friendly learning environment. The Student Lighthouse team consists of a group of pre-K through fifth-grade

students who collaborate to discuss schoolwide initiatives which will help to enhance their learning experience. Additionally, the students take part in monthly service learning projects geared toward benefiting both the school and community. For the month of January, the team decided that the schoolwide “Wildly Important Goal” should be to read a grand

total of 400 books. Due to everyone’s desire to read, the school was able to surpass its goal by reaching 832 books. In February, the students decorated the lobby’s “Leadership Tree” with inspirational messages, which they will be presenting to their “Grandfriends” at the Arbors Assisted Living Facility in Bohemia.

Caring For Granite Countertops 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

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.

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

Living With Diabetes (NAPSI)—Chef Chris Smith (aka The Diabetic Chef), a graduate of the Culinary Institute of America and a person living with type 1 diabetes, may have good news for the nearly 30 million other Americans with his condition: Being diagnosed with diabetes doesn’t mean your life needs to lack flavor. There are many ways to prepare nutritious and delicious meals without sacrificing taste. In fact, Chef Smith worked with Equal

0-calorie sweetener to develop a digital recipe guide and tips to take the guesswork out of meal planning. Five other things he suggests: • Use your resources, including your health care provider, dietitian and Certified Diabetes Educator. • Understand the relationship between carbohydrates and blood sugar and learn how to manage them. • Monitor how much

sodium, saturated fat and sugar you consume. • Incorporate more fruits and vegetables into your diet. • Read nutritional labels—know what you’re eating. A variety of sweet and savory dishes that use Equal instead of sugar are suitable for people with diabetes and anyone who wants a healthy lifestyle. It tastes great in hot and cold beverages, on fruit or cereal, and in most recipes that use sugar.

Big, Colorful Ideas For Small Spaces ( N A P S I ) — T h e C(NAPSI)—Making a small room appear larger can be as simple as using color creatively. To add some breathing room to a compact space, all you need are some colorful ideas. “Color is one of the easiest, most affordable ways to transform the look and feel of a room,” says David Bromstad, HGTV® star and celebrity interior designer. “When used in a few well-chosen places, such as a feature wall or statement piece of furniture, color can have a big impact in a small space.” Bromstad offers these color tips for transforming a space from tiny to airy: Create a focal point with paint. Paint a statement wall that draws attention away from the size of your space and toward something beautiful and vibrant. Bright or bold colors work well, as the

wall can appear to recede, creating the illusion of space. Go big with lighter and softer colors. In areas beyond the feature wall, use lighter and softer colors to make the space seem larger. Light blues and greens add significant light subtly to a room. Coordinate your colors. Stretch your space and maximize impact by using color to coordinate your rooms and decor. HGTV® HOME by SherwinWilliams offers precoordinated collections of color, paint and wallpaper. The color palettes can be used to ensure that your walls, furniture and accessories help create a cohesive look. Reflect upon something. Placed opposite a window or side by side, mirrors can spread light throughout the room to make spaces feel larger. A tall mirror draws the eye up, making ceilings look taller. When

angled toward your room’s focal wall, a mirror can also create the illusion of depth. Paint something unexpected. Think beyond your walls and consider painting your mailbox or address numbers on your home, a stairway banister or a piece of furniture. Add a colorful punctuation point by transforming a bedroom nightstand bright blue or a desk chair in an unexpected orange. Everything else in the room will appear larger. “Clever use of color adds the illusion of space and injects personality into it as well. That’s what’s great about color; you can dramatically alter the look of a room while expressing yourself in a fun way,” Bromstad adds. For additional inspiration and information on HGTV HOME by SherwinWilliams, visit www. sherwin-williams.com/ hgtv.

Quick Tips To Keep Your Car In Top Shape (NAPSI)—Routine maintenance is essential for extending your car’s life, ensuring it stays out of the shop and improving gas mileage. Here are three simple tasks that are easy to do and will benefit any vehicle. Be sure to check your owner’s manual because timing and instructions vary by vehicle. Changing the Air Filter About every 10,000+ miles you put on your car, change the air filter. It can be easily removed and replaced as it’s generally secured with only a few metal clips. Lubricate Moving Parts Regularly lubricating your vehicle’s moving parts such as door, hood and trunk hinges will not only prevent squeaking when you open or close

them, but will keep them from wear or damage due to the constant movement and corrosion from wet weather. Prevent squeaks and corrosion from building up in the future by using a water-displacement lubricant such as WD-40® Multi-Use Product. The new WD-40 EZ-REACH™ can make this process easier with its attached 8-inch flexible straw that bends and keeps its shape. Monitoring Tire Pressure If your car’s tire pressure is too low, you will wear out your tires more quickly and will get poor fuel efficiency. Tire pressure gauges are inexpensive and an easy way to determine the pressure in your tires. Find your vehicle’s recommended PSI and how to test it in the

owner’s manual. Compare the number on the gauge with your vehicle’s recommended PSI and add or release air to match it. Do this regularly on all four tires. Arm yourself with the right tools and you can save money by tackling easy car maintenance projects. For more information about how to make automotive repairs simpler, visit www. wd40.com/EZ.

Honey (NAPSA)-For relief of irritating throat symptoms, the National Honey Board suggests trying a spoonful of honey to soothe and coat your throat. For recipes including honey, visit www.Honey.com.

Five Tips On Moving (NAPSI)—According to the U.S. Census Bureau, 12 percent of Americans move to new homes every year. The next time you’re among them, you may be able to save time, trouble and money when you choose a professional mover—you won’t have to worry about renting equipment, paying hidden costs, handling heavy or bulky items and being responsible if something goes wrong. Here are five hints to help.

1. Be wary of any “guaranteed” estimates offered over the phone or online. Make sure you show the mover everything that needs to be moved, and get at least three estimates to compare. Avoid any that are too high or too low. 2. Check the company’s ratings with the Better Business Bureau and other consumer websites, and ask family and friends for referrals. 3. Make sure all agreements are in writing, and get a copy of everything

you sign, especially the bill of lading. Never sign any blank forms. 4. Ask questions if you don’t understand something, and make sure your mover has your cell phone number to reach you. 5. Find a certified professional mover. For free estimates at no obligation to you, get free referrals from the American Moving & Storage Association at www.Moving.org.
