Strolling Into Spring By: Jamie Lynn Ryan March. That month of transition. The beginning of spring and all things new. A rebirth of sorts. Or so we convince ourselves, anyway. Why not January, or February? I suppose weather has as much to do with our moods as any internal factors; and, while March makes no promises with regard to its atmospheric conditions, I think we can safely assume that the worst of winter is now behind us. There is something about the blossoming of trees and flowers, the lengthening of daylight hours, the greening of the now-barren grounds… it signals a revitalization of the year as it stands, a pause in the monotony, a gradual phasing out of the state of hibernation many of us have

been mired in since the holiday season. Just last weekend, I took the time to stroll along two of our pristine Long Island beaches – one on the outskirts of Northport, and the other out on the North Fork. Sure, it was a bit brisk and barren; but just to experience the fresh sea air, to feel the sand beneath my (sneakered) feet, to gaze out onto the crystal blue Long Island Sound… there is something to be said for venturing outside and exploring. That said, it would’ve been nice to have maybe just a couple more snow days to vegetate with a clear conscience, to stay under the covers and catch up on Netflix. The one true “blizzard” was exactly that, one and done, over a weekend. Kind of a waste. The rest of the “snow

days” were more of a minor inconvenience, not nearly enough down time to truly capitalize. That’s the thing about time. When we have it to spare, we don’t often utilize it to its full potential, choosing instead to waste it idling away the hours on trivial things like sleep and mindless chores. Instead, choose to take that leisurely drive, set out on a new adventure to an unexplored corner of the world – even within your own neighborhood. Take pictures, read books, paint, write a song… do things you’ve always wanted to do, today. Tomorrow may be partly cloudy with a chance of rain; but that also means there’s at least an equal chance of sun. May spring be that season of hope for everyone.

for Charity through its year-long series of events, particularly its 12th Main Event in November when over 20 businesspeople donned boxing gloves and met each other in the boxing ring at the HiltonLong Island. Fight for Charity’s Main Event drew a record crowd of over 1,000 fans, alumni boxers and representatives of corporate and restaurant sponsors and committee members and volunteers to make it one of the organization’s most successful fund raisers since 2003. To date, over 275 men and women have earned the title of LI-FFC Alumni Boxer. “The presentation of donation checks to the five Long Island charities is a culmination of the commitment and effort put forth by our 2015 volunteer boxers and all the people involved in making the LIFFC

mission succeed. Our 12th Main Event was exciting and successful due to the kindness of the sponsors and the many volunteers who participated, especially our boxers. I hope these selfless individuals will serve as an example to other businesspeople as we call for volunteers for the 2016 line-up of boxers,” said Jamie Austin, Chair of LIFFC and Director of Online Business Solutions at Protravel International. Fight for Charity Boxers are business professionals who believe in “giving back” to the community in a meaningful way. The men and women volunteers went into serious training at five participating gyms to prepare to go toe-to-toe with their opponents at the Main Event. There were a series of events held leading up to the

Main Event, which featured a boxing card with 13 bouts, networking opportunities, exciting ringside fun and plenty of food and beverages provided by local restaurants. Long Island Fight for Charity is accepting applications from individuals interested in becoming a 2016 volunteer boxer.

Student Spotlight SKETCH SUBMITTED BY: JAIDEN FRASER, GRADE 6, BAY SHORE MIDDLE SCHOOL

NOTHING, An empty blank piece of paper, looks white and blank, A rough surface with smooth sides, Tastes like emptiness, looks like sorrow. No noise, no sound, Alone and sad until... THUMP, THUMP, THUMP, A person enters the room, with a pen, Anxiously, as if the lottery had been won, and sits in the chair,

CLICK, The pen pushes out its points, its wet ink touches my surface, It glides across, writing words and drawing music notes, Starting to look full, Feels like excitement and happiness, Tastes like joy and sounds like bells, FINALLY, happy, I have joy, I am as happy as a child, on Christmas Day. I am now filled, With words.

Officer of the Year

New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) Forest Ranger David Nally was named “2015 Environmental Enforcement Officer of the Year” by the Pine Barrens Law Enforcement Council (PBLEC). Each year the membership of the PBLEC gets to select individuals who they feel deserve to be recognized for their work within the Central Pine Barrens. PBLEC consists of more than 26 law enforcement organizations in Suffolk County. Forest Ranger Nally was given this award in part for his participation in over 12 joint Pine Barrens Law Enforcement Council coordinated All-Terrain Vehicle (ATV) enforcement patrols. “Stopping illegal ATV riding on state properties continues to be a major focus for DEC and the Pine

Barrens Law Enforcement Council,” said DEC Acting Commissioner Basil Seggos. “These enforcement actions by Ranger Nally and all the other members of the PBLEC show how DEC Forest Rangers and all other members of the PBLEC are constantly on the watch for these activities. Pine Barrens law enforcement personnel will continue to ensure speeding vehicles and ATVs do not destroy state properties or take away enjoyment of these properties from hikers, runners, bird watchers, dog walkers and other recreationalists.” John Pavacic, Executive Director of the Central Pine Barrens Commission said, “I commend Ranger Nally for his accomplishments, dedication and commitment to the protection of the Central Pine Barrens. The efforts of law enforcement officers like Ranger Nally have helped ensure that this important region will continue to exist for future generations and we are truly grateful for the service he and his fellow law enforcement officers continue to provide each and every day.” The Pine Barrens Law Enforcement Council (LEC), under the Central Pine Barrens Joint Planning and Policy Commission, was established in March of 1994 to develop and implement a comprehensive law enforcement plan to patrol and protect the 105,000 acres of pine barrens in central Suffolk County. This Council has grown to include over 26 law enforcement and emergency response agencies (including federal, state, county, town, and village agencies), all of which have some degree of law enforcement authority and/or public safety function within their geographical area of responsibility covering all or portions of the Central Pine Barrens. Each day and regardless of weather, forest rangers patrol 5.0 million acres of Department-administered public lands and easements by vehicle, boat, ATV,

snowmobile, aircraft, bicycle, foot, skis or snowshoes. Each ranger is required to reside within the ranger district in which she/he is assigned but emergencies and special events will require them to work anywhere and at any time. Quite often, rangers are asked to assist other agencies with complex emergency or law enforcement incidents that have occurred in or near a forested area. Since New York has 18.6 million acres of forested lands, rangers are busy year-round accomplishing their unique mission. Ranger Nally has served with distinction in DEC’s Division of Forest Protection since graduating from DEC’s 19th Law Enforcement Training Academy in 2013 where he was assigned to patrol the eastern Towns of Suffolk County. Ranger Nally’s patrol responsibilities include protection of natural resources from wildfire and enforcement against illegal ATV activities and off road vehicle use, illegal dumping activities and enforcement of hunting regulations. During his tenure as a Forest Ranger, Ranger Nally has been deployed on a western wildland firefighting incident in Washington state, assisted with the management of the New York Wildfire and Incident Management Academy and devoted over two months of time to southern pine beetle eradication efforts at the DEC-managed Henrys Hollow in Hampton Bays. Ranger Nally, along with other regionally based Forest Rangers and Environmental Conservation Officers, also provided logistical and transportation support to other emergency response agencies during this winter’s storm Jonas and last winter’s storm Juno. Ranger Nally spends his spare time with his family in the Town of Riverhead.

Volunteer Committee

The Suffolk County volunteer committee attended The Fresh Air Fund’s annual Friendly Towns Leadership Conference from Friday, February 5th through Sunday, February 7th at the Marriott Marquis

in Times Square. Over the course of three days, volunteers participated in interactive workshops with The Fresh Air Fund’s fulltime staff and community agency partners. The volunteers learned to how support their Friendly

Towns communities, received data management training, communicated with New York City agency partners that register the program’s children, and attended various training sessions such as public relations and social media.

Former Fresh Air child Darryl Rattray, the Associate Commissioner for Community Centers and Strategic Partnerships at the Department of Youth and Community Development in New York City, gave the keynote speech. Darryl shared with the 250 volunteers in attendance how The Fresh Air Fund’s Friendly Towns Program greatly impacted his life. The closing ceremony included a celebration of long-time volunteer leader and host parent Patty LeRoy for her 50 years of dedicated volunteerism to The Fresh Air Fund. Patty was reunited with her former Fresh Air child Donnalese as well as her current Fresh Air child Krystie. “What an inspirational weekend at The Fresh Air Fund’s annual Friendly Towns Leadership Conference! Meeting the

Fresh Air staff, hearing many amazing stories from former and current participants, learning how to grow the program and re-energizing us to kick off the new season! Only five months till the first buses arrive!” said Eva Lennon, a volunteer from Harleysville, PA. The Fresh Air Fund, an independent, not-for-profit agency, has provided free summer experiences to more than 1.8 million New York City children from low-income communities since 1877. Fresh Air children are boys and girls, from seven to 18 years old, who live in New York City. Children on first-time visits are seven to 12 years old and stay for one or two weeks. Children who are reinvited by host families may continue with The Fresh Air Fund through age 18 and can enjoy extended trips.

Join the Suffolk County Volunteer Committee this summer as a volunteer host family and help unlock the limitless potential of New York City children. Please contact Jacqueline Shapiro at 516.702.1203 or visit The Fresh Air Fund online at www.freshair.org to sign up.

Programmable Experiences Nassakeag Elementary School students have been learning about the intricacies of computer programming through a variety of hands-on STEM lessons. Earlier this year, Three Village Central School District kindergarten through sixth-grade students participated in the Hour of Code movement,

which challenged scholars to take part in coding activities for at least one hour. That effort was expanded upon this winter when Nassakeag STEM teacher Colleen Maier led a robot programming class for third- and fourthgraders. After using markers and paper to map out their coding concepts, students

visited the computer lab to generate code and program robots called ozobots to complete tasks. Students learned how the ozobots have color sensors and, by using different colors, could be programmed to move through different mazes and complete challenges.

MYSTERY READER - Third grade students from the Miller Place School District’s Laddie A. Decker Sound Beach School recently learned about different cultures when visited by a “Mystery Storyteller” who told stories passed down from generation to generation. Cher Bebeau, great-aunt of a third grade Miller Place student, used fun voices and provided student participation to tell old folktales and stories with meaningful morals. Cher’s stories tied into the third grade social studies curriculum and students generated questions to ask her for her next visit.

Decisions are crucial in this life we lead We choose with our heart Sometimes our head Looking back on all those I’ve made There is always that mystery Which enters the fray From where it comes I cannot rightfully say But the next time I choose I’ll consider it’s sway.

A Way to End a Day By: John McGowan

Down to the beach I headed late in the day I approached a pavilion And to my delight Through its opening I saw The bay and the sky’s light Azure on top of a bright water so tame With shadows reflected from the building’s frame A day filled with stress no longer stood tall Nature had conquered and made problems seem small.

Crisis Counselor Training Everyone has moments when the support and understanding of others seem hard to find, and it is for such moments that RESPONSE of Suffolk County, Inc. was born. RESPONSE of Suffolk County is a nationally accredited, non-profit agency that provides a confidential and anonymous hotline for anyone who needs to talk. RESPONSE is seeking volunteer crisis counselors and will offer a free training program to those interested in becoming the caring voice on the other end of the line. Part one of the training program will be held on Saturday, April 2nd and Sunday, April 3rd, and continues on Saturday, April 9th and Sunday April 10th. Sessions will run

from 9:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. each day and trainees must attend all four sessions. Training will take place in the Stony Brook area. No experience is necessary, only a sincere willingness to learn and grow, and the ability to make a six-month commitment of four hours a week is required. Response provides two types of telephone assistance lines and both are heavily dependent on volunteer talent. The crisis intervention hotline takes over 20,000 calls each year about a wide range of subjects – substance abuse, domestic violence, depression, family conflict, grief, suicidal thoughts among many others. The support line provides over 5,000 telephone “visits” yearly to individuals who are homebound or

have limited social support due to a physical disability or mental illness. Training for both the hotline and support line counselors includes lecture, roleplaying exercises, and private and group supervision. College credit is available and bilingual volunteers are especially needed. Make a difference in our community – one phone call at a time. Volunteer as a telephone counselor with RESPONSE of Suffolk County and become the caring voice on the other end of the phone! Those interested in attending the up-coming training can visit www. responsehotline.org for more information or call the hotline at 631.751.7500. Please apply early, positions are limited.

During Red Cross Month in March, the American Red Cross encourages eligible donors to join in its lifesaving mission by giving blood. Since 1943, every U.S. president has designated March as Red Cross Month to recognize how the Red Cross helps people down the street, across the country and around the world. Red Cross Month is a celebration of the everyday heroes, like Karla Essmiller, who are the face of the Red Cross in their communities. Essmiller

began donating blood and even coordinated a few blood drives when she was in college. “Donating blood is a simple gift that I can make that may help up to three people live another day,” she said. “That makes me feel like a hero!” The Red Cross depends on blood donor heroes across the nation to collect enough blood to meet the needs of patients at approximately 2,600 hospitals nationwide. Donors of all blood types are needed to help accident and burn victims, patients undergoing

organ transplants, those receiving cancer treatments and others who rely on blood products. Make an appointment to become a hero to patients in need by downloading the free Red Cross Blood Donor App, visiting redcrossblood.org or calling 1-800-RED CROSS (1.800.733.2767).

Volunteers Needed United Healthcare in collaboration with Stanford University asked a random sampling of adults if they volunteer. A huge percentage (49%) said no, and, when asked why, 42% of the respondents answered that they had never been asked! The Retired Senior Volunteer Program of

Suffolk, Inc. (RSVP), funded by The SC Office for Aging and the Corporation for National and Community Service, was established in 1972, and they are inviting seniors 55 or better, to come and join in volunteering at over 85 not-for-profits in Suffolk County. These placements offer

Donations Needed

a diversity of interesting tasks, ranging from helping in schools, soup kitchens, museums, outdoor activities to clerical support. Check RSVP out at www. rsvpsuffolk.org or call 631.979.9490, ext. 11 for more information on this great program. Now you’ve been asked!

All That Jazz Over 50 Miller Place High School studentmusicians performed several variations of jazz music and popular songs from several eras for fifth grade students and their former teachers. Laddie A. Decker Sound Beach School fifth grade students bopped to the beat as the high school

students illustrated where a couple years of training and practice can take the budding musicians. The instrumental jazz ensemble performed selections such as “Arnge Drank” and “Hablemos” by Mike Carubia, a latin tune “Pick Up the Pieces” originally performed by the Average White Band

now arranged for a jazz ensemble and “Sonny’s Place” by Carl Strommen, a Nassau County composer. Fifth graders then listened to the vocal jazz ensemble perform a mashup of popular songs and “Evolution of Music” a capella, composed by the Pentatonix.

Celebrating 100 Frank J. Carasiti Elementary School firstgraders in Christina Capaldi and Erin Glennon’s class took a look into the future as they recently took part in a multi-disciplinary project. In honor of one classmates’ 100-year-old great-grandmother Ruth and the upcoming 100th

day of school, students used their imaginations to envision what they would look like when they turned 100 and created predictions as to what changes they would see in the world. To better understand the advancements that took place over the last 100 years, they created interview questions to ask

their resident centenarian and displayed her insight on a large poster board. To conclude the lesson, students dressed themselves as 100-yearolds on the official 100th day of school, drew images of their aged selves and created a world news report on the happenings of the year 2116.
