Long Island Football Champions Honored With Proclamation

EAST ISLIP - SOUTH BAY’S NEIGHBOR NEWSPAPERS - WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 10, 2024 • WWW.LONGISLANDMEDIAGROUP.COM

East Islip High School’s Long Island champion football team was officially recognized at a Dec. 21 ceremony in the school’s forum. A representative

from Suffolk County Legislator Trish Bergin’s office was on hand to present coach Sal Ciampi Jr. and his team with a proclamation commemorating their

achievement.

“Congratulations to our varsity football team on such a successful season,” Athletic Director Steve Restivo said.

“You guys worked very hard

both on and off the field, and it did not go unnoticed.”

“With the amount of talent and kind of kids we have, it’s not surprising that we were able to get there,

but it was a bumpy road at times,” Ciampi said. “It shows the true character of the team and everyone involved in the program that despite setbacks and

adversity from time to time, we were still able to achieve the goal we had hoped to achieve and end up being the Long Island champions.”

ASL Students Spread Deaf Awareness At John F. Kennedy East Islip High School students from Jovina Bratta’s American Sign Language classes recently visited the district’s John F. Kennedy Elementary School to spread some deaf awareness and sign holiday songs

to fifth graders. The ASL students also set up stations to demonstrate the alphabet and signs in ASL, showed the younger students how to fingerspell their names and other words, and played fun interactive games such

as Deaf Telephone and Hangman incorporating facial expression and body movements.

“It was a great experience for everyone,” Bratta said.

Benefits To Cooking Your Own Meals Aging men and women may be tempted to eschew home cooking entirely. After all, there are plenty of convenient frozen or take-out foods available that can be whipped up in a snap. However, there are certain benefits to cooking your own meals. John Moore, DO, an Aetna medical director and senior health specialist, says that cooking can be good for helping to stave off cognitive decline. Dr. Moore notes that, when cooking, the mind is put to use following a recipe and learning new skills and tasks. Furthermore, cooking for oneself can boost seniors’ selfconfidence, reassuring them that they can handle an important daily task without

having to rely on their family for meals. As long as it is deemed safe (i.e., no sign of cognitive decline or forgetfulness), seniors should be encouraged to continue cooking.
