Magnificent Voices is using projects like this to get more involved in their communities and to find platforms to become better advocates for themselves and others. They are working together to create community connections that will further their reach and their mission. Being a part of this group and being involved in these projects has helped its members find their voices. “It’s important to speak up for yourself and we learn that,” said Peter Hathaway, regarding Magnificent Voices. “It’s

good to help other people out and it’s important.” By holding this clothing drive, Magnificent Voices has helped BBBSLI to further their mission of helping children who face adversity through mentoring. The 45 members of Magnificent Voices have made helping others a priority, it is one of their main goals; Big Brothers Big Sisters of Long Island helped them achieve that goal. “The members of the Magnificent Voices were an absolute pleasure to work with,” said Joanne Kassebaum, Community Relations Manager of BBBSLI Donation Center. “Their enthusiasm and unwavering drive to meet their goal to make an impact on a child’s life on Long Island was commendable! I’m looking forward to working with them again next year.”

Magnificent Voices, a self-advocacy group at AHRC Suffolk comprised of individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities, made the decision to become more involved in their community by making a difference in the life of a child. What better way to do this than to partner with Big Brothers and Big Sisters of Long Island (BBBSLI) for a clothing drive? BBBSLI set Magnificent Voices’ goal at 200 bags of clothing; if they reached that goal it would provide BBBSLI with the funding needed to match an “at risk” child facing adversity with a caring, screened adult mentor. The group exceeded their goal by collecting over 240 bags of clothing from all of AHRC Suffolk’s day programs across the Suffolk County, making them the first

HOW TO BE A HERO going through. I just never knew that person would be my best friend. She had some problems. She lives about thirty to forty-five minutes away from me. We didn’t go to the same school, nor have any mutual friends. We met through our parents. I never knew how close I could grow to someone who lived so far. We can talk for hours. Well, when talking for hours, you run out of things to say. When I asked how school was, I knew it was the worst and best thing I could ask. She admitted she constantly felt uncomfortable in school. She was jealous of all her peers’ happiness. Her parents were fighting a lot, she was bullied, and there was also the secret. This secret was one I knew for a long time and promised to keep to this day. Let’s just say it got to her. She became depressed and cut herself. I, being the friend I am, did what

I needed to do. I told. I told my mom to tell her mom to get her to a therapist. What I didn’t do is tell her secret. I never break my promises. I just told her she was getting bullied and cutting. But this, to any parent, is traumatizing. Long story short, it took three years, but I got her through it. But what does this have to do with heroes? Well, now I consider myself a hero. So does my friend. I’ll never forget the day I got the text: thanks for saving my life. Not to be selfish, but what I did took guts and time. I selflessly got my friend through, by far, the roughest time of her life. I think I am a hero. What I’m trying to say is that even the stupidest thing can keep someone from self-harm. Even the happiest of people go through depression. Please be kind to others, and be a hero by simply listening.

SUBMITTED BY: LAURA WALTERS, AGE 15 • LINDENHURST HIGH SCHOOL Have you ever wondered what it would be like to be a hero? I know I have. Wouldn’t it be cool to run into a burning building to save a little baby or catch the criminal? We all know the definition of a hero: A courageous person who helps others without thinking of him or herself or the consequences that may follow. Also, everyone under the sun knows heroes are brave, selfless, caring, etc. But, have you ever thought maybe that’s just not enough? How can something so incredibly important to society have such a short definition and description? That’s because it’s wrong. A hero is an ordinary person who can and will go out of his or her way to help, care and solve people’s problems .... basically, anyone. I bet at least one, if not every teacher you had, told you to be kind to one another, and that you never know what someone else is

What if there was a dental plan for only $99 a year that could save you half off your dental bills and had over two thousand dentists to choose from in New York? You would probably say, “What’s the catch?” Cindy Mirman of Ronkonkomabased EDP Dental Plan says, “There is no catch.” EDP Dental provides individuals and families

who do not have access to standard dental coverage through work with a discount dental plan that has more than two thousand great New York dentists to choose from, and discount fees on all dental work that can save members an average of half off their dental costs. Mirman adds, “EDP Dental Plan has been providing this type of coverage to thousands of Long Islanders for over 10 years. There is no reason to pay full price for dental care now that EDP Dental Plan is available to everyone, regardless of age or employment. With just a cleaning, exam and x-ray, you will save more moeny than the plan costs for the entire year.” Call for more information and a list of participating dentists at 631.272.5230, or visit www. edpdental.com.

NEW UNIT UNVEILED - Staff at Good Samaritan Hospital Medical Center were joined by administration and physicians, community members and elected officials at the recent ribbon cutting for the Mother Baby unit. Here, mothers and newborns remain together in private rooms for the entire hospital stay. For the nearly 2,800 babies delivered a year, this approach offers several benefits, including facilitating mother-baby bonding and establishing breastfeeding.

The Southold Historical Society is pleased to announce a special fundraiser – a Chinese Auction – which will take place on Saturday, April 11th.

newspapers report that on the day before the election of 1860, the “Wide Awake” groups of the North Fork marched in a torchlight parade through Southold in support of Abraham Lincoln’s election. The Mattituck Club is mentioned as marching in that parade. While the banner survived mostly intact over the years, it does require preservation work to ensure its long term survival. “Conservation is quite expensive,” stated Geoffrey K. Fleming, Director of the Society, “but this object is so important and so rare – not another example is known from Long Island – that it merits being fully preserved so that it can be shown to the public once more in all its glory.” At the Chinese Auction, there will be a large selection of special items, including elaborate gift

Cathie Dunn, who volunteered to run this fundraiser for the Society, has done many other similar events in the past for other local charitable causes. “We are indebted to her for volunteering her time for this event,” stated John Barnes, chair of the Society’s fundraising committee. Those who attend the auction need not be present to win the item that day. Winners who cannot stay until the auction’s conclusion will be notified the following Monday to pick-up their winnings. In addition to the auction, the staff at Jeni’s Main Street Grill, located at 54195 Main Road in Southold, will be donating all their tips on Friday, April 10th, towards the banner’s preservation. “We hope as

A fish in scaly armor Lay gasping on the plate It wriggled and fluttered its gills As it muttered “better not to wait” The cook has returned with potatoes From her numerous shopping trips And that gleam in her eyes Makes it hardly a surprise She’s preparing to cook fish and chips With a heave and a sigh Crying “oh my” That fish leaped to the nearby sink By using my brain I will Swim down this drain To the ocean so blue, I do think If they catch me once more I’ll lie on ice in the store And wait to be chopped for a dish I hear it will be Pesach quite soon So I might become tasty Sweet gefillte fish

That Old Familiar Feeling By: Jamie Lynn Ryan

Take a deep breath. It calms the mind. That’s what they say anyway. Hence, my newfound appreciation for the art of yoga. It forces you to breathe, to meditate, to clear your mind of all unwanted stresses. Breathe in, breathe out. And repeat. It all started when, after 20 years of dancing, I decided that I needed something else to fill my time, to bring me back to that place where I felt like I was in shape, in control and in sync with my surroundings. After long days at work on deadline,

I settled into somewhat of a routine, using the classes to de-stress and unwind. Then came the winter, that vast, endless stretch of bitter cold, spurring the urge to hibernate until the first flowers decided to bloom. Unfortunately, stress doesn’t wait until spring, and so, come March, back to yoga I went. The first few weeks were a bit rough, what with the creaking bones and stiff muscles and, well, just a general laziness and lack of motivation. But, like magic, after getting back into a bit of a routine, there it was – that old familiar feeling of inner peace. For a few minutes anyway.

The key, I suppose, it to find a way to bottle that feeling and be able to call upon it when needed, to apply it to the world beyond my yoga mat. Perhaps that comes with practice. More practice than the once-aweek, sporadic schedule I have assembled for myself. One can only assume. One day at a time. One class at a time. One deep breath at a time. That’s all any of us can focus on in our infinite quest to find that deep, soul-searching sense of meaning to it all. No stress, no judgment, no pressure. Just you, alone with your thoughts. Breathe in, breathe out. And repeat.

(NAPSI)—Bad news can sometimes be good news, particularly when it involves an open recall on your car. An open recall is when a manufacturer identifies a problem with a particular model and agrees to fix it at little or no cost to the owner or potential buyer. Recalls can affect a car’s performance, safety and

resale value. You’re doing yourself and others on the road a favor by having them fixed. Open recalls can be an excellent opportunity to help ensure the purchase of a well-performing car. However, problems arise when neither buyer nor seller knows an open recall exists. It’s estimated that 3.5 million vehicles with

open recalls were for sale online in 2013. Fortunately, you now can easily find out about open recalls or other reported problems by shopping for used cars at www.carfax. com. Every car has a free Carfax Report to help you find the right car with the right history.

Saving Lives Rocky Point Middle School’s community service club members donned blue scrubs and worked as Little Doctors when they volunteered during the school’s March blood drive. During the event, the students helped register donors, give them snacks post donations and aid

members of the New York Blood Center with basic administrative tasks. The drive drew tremendous support from the local community, as more than 30 donors were accepted. As the topic tied to the school’s science curriculum, sixth-grade classes attended workshops with representatives from

Long Island’s Got Talent the New York Blood Center prior to the event. During the initiative the students learned about blood, the importance of donating and how this life-saving resource is utilized. They also received donor forms to share with those in the community who met the qualifications to become a donor.

Carousel

SAVING LIVES - Rocky Point Middle School students worked as Little Doctors during the school’s March blood drive. Photo provided by: Rocky Point School District

Rocky Point High School’s talented studentactors and musicians took to the stage this March to present the Rodgers and Hammerstein musical Carousel. Attendees were entertained as the cast comically and enthusiastically told the

story of a traveling carnival man Billy (played by junior Thomas Loomis) and his love, a local factory worker Julie (played by senior Erin Damers). A colorful cast of characters provided supportive story lines throughout the production and kept audiences engaged during the two-

act show. The students rehearsed for months on the guidance of dramatic and vocal director Mary Donovan Cerasuola and orchestra director Amy Schecher to ensure this year’s production was a show-stopping hit.

Artwork On Display The artwork and talent of Eastern Long Island Academy of Applied Technology students Amanda Giattino, Brianna LaShier, and Allison Ostie, along with students from East Hampton, Riverhead, Bellport, William Floyd, Southampton, Miller Place, Pierson, Mattituck, and Ross Schools were on display in February at

the Parrish Art Museum Student Exhibition. The Student Exhibition is a 60-year tradition at Parrish Art Museum offering students an opportunity to explore traditional and nontraditional approaches to art-making. Elizabeth Grafer, photography teacher at Gary D. Bixhorn Technical

Center at ESBOCES, said, “The students were honored with Awards of Excellence in the areas of photography, 3-D sculpture, and “Ones to Watch” awards for underclassmen.” The artwork was judged by Neil Slaughter, practicing artist and professor at Long Island University.

Calling All Historians In 1939, Ward Melville presented his vision of creating a “living Colonial Williamsburg” to the Stony Brook community. In 1940, his vision began to take shape, and the Stony Brook Village rehabilitation project was completed in 1941. Now, 75 years later, The

Ward Melville Heritage Organization (WMHO) wants to celebrate the individuals who brought Mr. Melville’s vision to life through an exhibit of photos, artifacts, and anecdotes of all those who worked on the project. From carpenters and electricians to landscapers

and plumbers, these are the stories that made the dream come true. If you were one of these craftsman, or know someone who was, please contact WMHO to share your story by calling 631.751.2244 or send an e-mail to info@wmho.org.

Three Village Central School District’s secondary orchestra students had the chance of a lifetime – they learned how to put a rock spin on several classical pieces during a two-day workshop with electronic violinist and international recording artist Mark Wood. More than 400 students from Ward Melville High School, R.C. Murphy Junior High School and P.J. Gelinas Junior High School

covered the auditorium stage and surrounding pit as they participated in the event. During which, they learned new techniques, received tips on how to get the most out of their music and how to amp up their performance of such songs as Anyway You Want It and Inferno. In preparation for the event, the students learned the repertoire of music provided by the former Trans-Siberian Orchestra

performer. The workshop culminated in an evening concert for the community, featuring the students and Wood. This event was held as part of Wood’s Electric Your Strings “Velocity” tour.

Masters Teachers Recognized As the result of a challenging application process, Three Village Central School District educators Pam O’Brien, Peter Schuchman and Gary Vorwald have been named New York State Master Teachers. These three teachers bring the district’s total number of Master Teachers to five, the second highest amount on Long Island. The program encourages educators to mentor their peers and deepen their own scholastic and professional development. They will join a network of more than 500 outstanding educators who demonstrate a deep understanding of their

content area, pedagogy and communities. Ms. O’Brien has been teaching for 26 years, the last 14 of which have been at Ward Melville High School. During her time in the district she has taught a range of courses but most recently the majority of her schedule has been Advanced Placement statistics. Mr. Schuchman has taught for 12 years at P.J. Gelinas Junior High School and has a total of 13 years of educational experience. At Gelinas he teaches Regents/honors level Earth Science and the Earth SMART courses. Mr. Vorwald has taught

in the district since 1998 and been an educator for 28 years. During his time in Three Village, he has taught nearly every science course offered at P.J. Gelinas, is the school’s current department chairperson and the lead coach of its award-winning Science Olympiad team. For the prestigious honor, the teachers were required to demonstrate their success in the classroom and model teaching practices. They had to provide transcripts, recommendation letters, and complete a teaching demonstration, writing sample, personal essay and interview.

Caring For Granite Countertops 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

Five members of the Islanders team visited the children in the various pediatric units of the Nassau University Medical Center. They were welcomed by Dr. Politi and hospital officials, who took them to the various floors

and introduced them to children in the emergency room, on the 18th floor and in the pediatric outpatient practices. The children, who are big fans of the Islanders, were thrilled to have the players visit them and bring some

cheer during their hospital stay. The players who signed autographs and gifted the children with T-shirts, blankets and Islanders cups were: Ryan Strome, Josh Bailey, Nick Leddy, Thomas Hickey and Brock Nelson.

(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

History Comes Alive

Silence fell over the auditorium at P.J. Gelinas Junior High School as the eighth-grade class listened to Warner Reich recall his experience living through one of the world’s darkest times - the Holocaust. The students have spent the past several weeks studying the time period as part of their English curriculum and were captivated by Mr. Reich’s message encouraging all to stand up for others. Throughout his presentation he recalled the Nazi movement, their influences throughout Europe and his own escape

from Germany before being captured and placed one of the camps. Equating the passive behaviors of what transpired that time to bullying, Mr. Reich urged the students to stand up for others and not to tolerate any negative actions. In their classes, the students have been learning about the subject through such texts as The Diary of Anne Frank, Cage and Night as well as activities and research projects on the historical context of the Holocaust. Mr. Reich’s first hand account of the period

enabled the students to further understand the atrocities of war during this time. To help preserve Mr. Reich’s compelling presentation for future generations, Gelinas art teacher Mike Sacco and technology teacher Dean Kostis recorded the morning’s event. They will be editing the vocal recordings to pair with Mr. Reich’s Power Point presentation. The final project will be used to continue to share this historical recollection of the Holocaust.

and once again captured the title for their flawless routine. The state held three competitions across New York this season, which were open to all schools in preparation for next year’s championship. It was a

chance to compete using new cheerleading score sheets, which are very different from previous scoring rules.

socks and as many stripes as possible to honor the books, Fox in Socks and The Cat in the Hat, listened to Dr. Seuss books read by guest readers, including individuals who keep the school running, from nurses, to custodians, administrative assistances and food service personnel. Students also donated books, met representatives from the Port Jefferson Public Library and received

a special treat when The Cat in the Hat himself showed up to take photos with them. During the week leading up to the celebration, students learned about the life of Dr. Seuss and his many characters through books, Smart Board activities, short video clips and computer research on iPads.

Seven Mistakes Grocery Shoppers Make

SUFFOLK ZONE 6 - NEIGHBOR NEWSPAPERS - WEDNESDAY MARCH 18, 2015 • www.southbaysneighbor.com

Seven Mistakes Grocery Shoppers Make (NAPSI)—You may save yourself time, money and trouble at the grocery store if you avoid these seven common errors that shoppers make: 1. Consumers don’t make a list before they go. It always helps to have a clear plan of what you’re going to buy before you hit the store. To help, there are a number of apps that can get you organized. One, ZipList, is an online recipe box and shopping list system that syncs across desktop, tablet and mobile devices, so you can stick to your list and not forget important ingredients. 2. Shoppers buy food when they’re hungry. Shopping hungry often There might have been some sad faces after a loss against the New York Rangers on Tuesday night – the final faceoff at Nassau Coliseum for both New York based National Hockey League teams – but the New York Islanders scored big smiles with patients at Stony Brook Children’s Hospital on Wednesday afternoon as three players visited the hospital. Leaving their skates and sticks at the rink, forward Eric Boulton (#36), defensemen Matt Donovan (#46), and defenseman Brian Strait (#37) delivered tee-shirts, beach towels,

and hats to the patients and their families. Over 40 patients, along with family members, received visits from the players. The threesome walked through the entire in-patient pediatric unit and the out-pediatric hemotology/oncology clinic at Stony Brook University Cancer Center. They were able to spend some time with the kids, signing autographs, taking pictures and answering a ton of questions from their smallest fans. The visit was organized by the Child Life Program at Stony Brook Children’s and the New York

Islanders. Celebrating Child Life Awareness Month, the program has been sponsoring daily activities and visits which highlight what the Child Life Specialists do every day -- provide therapeutic, educational, and recreational activities to meet the unique emotional and developmental needs of hospitalized children. These 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.

A Juicy Way To Enjoy A Healthier Lifestyle (NAPSI)—There’s good news for those who have embraced drinking fresh fruit and vegetable juices as a way to pursue a more healthful diet: Enjoying such juices just got easier. That’s because a leading juice retailer that is also recognized as a healthy lifestyle brand has revealed that it’s expanding its squeezed-to-order, fresh

juice offerings nationally. The fresh, made-to-order juices, available at Jamba Juice, incorporate highnutrient and on-trend whole foods including kale, beets, cucumbers, apples, oranges and chia seeds. They’re available in a variety of flavors, including: • Tropical Greens—a combination of super

greens, apple, pineapple and chia • Veggie Harvest—a mixture of beet and carrot juices with super greens, apple and ginger • Carrot Cayenne—a blend of carrot and apple juices with the added kick of ginger and cayenne. To learn more, visit www. JambaJuice.com.

leads to impulse buys and purchasing more than you need. 3. They don’t look down. Brands pay a premium to be displayed at eye level, so looking down can be a way to find the same-quality items at lower prices. 4. People shy away from the generic brands. You’ve had your go-to cereal for years but your grocery store may be offering the same ingredients in a generic cereal for a fraction of the cost. 5. They go during peak hours. Shopping for the week on Sunday afternoon? Looks like everyone had the same idea. Try to switch up your schedule and stock up during less popular times, such as late evening on a weeknight or

early Saturday morning. 6. Food purchasers ignore the center aisles. Center aisles at grocery stores usually contain such packaged goods as canned food and beans. These can offer depth and heartiness to your meals without breaking the bank. 7. Consumers don’t check for deals. The online list system can help here, too. ZipList has a Grocery Deals feature that helps you find what’s on sale at stores near you. The feature pulls directly from grocery circulars and other sources, so even perishable goods can be found on the site on a week-to-week basis.

Living A Full, Flavorful Life (NAPSI)—Being diagnosed with diabetes doesn’t mean your life needs to lack flavor. While it’s important to pay attention to what you eat, there’s no need to sacrifice the sweet. Here are a few quick tips and simple substitutions to help you make healthier choices and get your taste buds talking: • Eat fewer “empty

calories,” including foods high in added sugar. • Choose protein foods that are lower in saturated fat, such as fish and chicken without the skin. • Flavor your food with fresh herbs and spices. • Fill up with high-fiber foods, such as beans, lentils and whole grain breads and cereals. • Substitute Equal zero-

calorie sweetener for sugar in beverages and recipes. A leader among zero-calorie sweeteners and a national sponsor of the American Diabetes Association, Equal tastes good in hot and cold beverages from coffee and tea to iced tea and lemonade, sprinkled on cereal and fruit, and in most recipes that require sugar.

Top Three Auto Repair Red Flags (NAPSI)—Finding an auto repair shop you can trust can be a challenge. Here are three warning signs to watch for on your next trip to the mechanic. • While no one likes to be overcharged, beware of estimates that are well under market rate. This can be a sign the mechanic is using low-quality or even used parts. Some mechanics use lowball estimates to lure you in for additional repairs that they will tack on later. • Automotive technology is rapidly evolving and some shops fail to keep up. Without up-to-date diagnostic tools, a mechanic could misdiagnose your problem,

which means you’ll pay for unnecessary repairs that don’t even fix your original problem. • If a mechanic employs scare tactics or treats you in a condescending way, move on. A reputable mechanic will take the time to explain your options just as a doctor guides you to make the right decision for your health. Fortunately, there’s a free service called RepairPal that can help consumers find a trustworthy local mechanic. RepairPal independently certifies auto repair shops nationwide for superior training, quality tools, fair pricing standards and a minimum 12-month/12,000-mile

warranty. RepairPal also provides car owners with a tool that brings transparency to repair costs—the RepairPrice Estimator. Cited as a resource by Consumer Reports, AOL Autos and Cars.com, this patented calculator generates fair price quotes based on the user’s automobile, location, and the service requested. All mechanics in the RepairPal Certified shop network honor these estimates to give consumers peace of mind that they’ll never be overcharged. To learn more, visit www. RepairPal.com/estimator.
