Selected East Islip High School students from James Connell’s broadcast television class and William Lackner’s video production class recently toured NBC Studios in Manhattan, included behind-thescenes looks into the studios where some of their favorite NBC shows are made, such as “Late Night with Seth Meyers,” “Saturday Night Live” and “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon,” as

well as NBC’s fully restored art deco rotunda and stateof-the-art 4K theater.

Two NBC pages served as hosts, guiding the students through the historic halls of the building. The high schoolers learned about the television production process and had an opportunity to produce their own show at the end of the tour.

“This was a great tour for anyone interested in a career in TV production,”

said Lackner.

“It was so fun to see the behind-the-scenes activities that take place to put on these shows, and the history of TV that took place and continues to take place there,” said senior Esther Singh. “The bonus was definitely the mock show we created. Everyone on the tour volunteered to be part of it, so we were all stars of the show. “

Valentines Traditions From Around The World Valentine’s Day is celebrated across the globe. Come Valentine’s Day, candy, flowers and other gifts are exchanged between sweethearts in one of the many traditions associated with the holiday.

The origins of Valentine’s Day are largely unknown.

Some suggest Valentine’s Day was initially a way to honor St. Valentine on the anniversary of his death.

Others believe it was the Christian church’s way of Christianizing the Pagan celebration of Lupercalia, a fertility festival dedicated

to Faunus, the Roman god of agriculture.

Regardless of its origins, Valentine’s Day is now celebrated by millions and is one of the retail industry’s most lucrative shopping holidays.

Many different traditions can be linked to Valentine’s Day. Here is a list of the interesting ways Valentine’s Day is celebrated across the globe.

South Korea In South Korea, men get to enjoy the spotlight on Valentine’s Day, as women bestow gifts of chocolate on

them. In return, a month later men reciprocate with gifts for women on White Day. South Koreans take Valentine’s Day a step further on Black Day, which falls on April 14.

This is an opportunity for all single people who may not have received Valentine’s Day gifts to gather at restaurants and eat a dish called “black noodles” as they celebrate their singleton status.

Long Island, NY, January 16, 2020 — The American Heart Association, the world’s leading nonprofit organization focused on heart and brain health for all, together with its signature movement, Go Red for Women®, encourages you to ‘wear red and give’ today on National Wear Red Day® to raise awareness of cardiovascular disease: women’s greatest health threat.

Cardiovascular disease kills one woman every 80 seconds and takes more lives than all forms of cancer combined. Heart disease and stroke also impact the lives of one in three women – or a third of mothers, sisters and friends – and cardiac events are on the rise in young women in their 20s.

While 80 percent of cardiovascular diseases can be prevented through modest changes to diet and lifestyle, disparities in care for women’s heart and brain health continue to exist.

In addition, heart disease and stroke symptoms can present differently in women compared to men.

Women also make up less than half of all clinical trial participants globally, with women of color only accounting for three percent. As a result, more research is needed to close gender disparity gaps when it comes to cardiovascular research, treatment and care.

The American Heart Association’s Go Red for Women movement, nationally sponsored

by CVS Health and locally sponsored by our

Long Island Life Is Why sponsors, Mount Sinai South Nassau, Bradley & Parker Inc. and Petro Home Services. Everyone is encouraged to show your support by wearing red and giving through the month of February to help save lives of women around the world. Here’s how you can join Go Red for Women in support of women’s health: · Wear red on National Wear Red Day, Friday, Feb. 7, 2020 to raise awareness about cardiovascular disease – the leading cause of death in women. The iconic Red Dress Pin and other apparel is available at ShopHeart.org. · Make a donation to support the lifesaving work of the American Heart Association at WearRedDay.org. · CVS Health is the national sponsor of the American Heart Association’s Go Red for Women Movement and will be offering no-cost heart-health screenings at MinuteClinic® locations nationwide every Thursday in February. · Sign up to participate in the lifesaving clinical trial research through the American Heart Association’s Go Red for Women movement and Verily’s Project Baseline: Research Goes Red initiative. · Join the conversation by using #WearRedAndGive on social media.

Cardiovascular diseases continue to be a woman’s greatest health threat. To treat, beat and prevent heart disease and stroke, women should understand family health history, know their five key personal health numbers - these help determine risk for heart disease and stroke: total cholesterol, HDL (good) cholesterol, blood pressure, blood sugar and

body mass index – and make healthy behavior changes like moving more, eating smart and managing blood pressure.

About the American Heart Association The American Heart Association is a relentless force for a world of longer, healthier lives. We are dedicated to ensuring equitable health in all communities.

Through collaboration with numerous organizations, and powered by millions of volunteers, we fund innovative research, advocate for the public’s health and share lifesaving resources. The Dallasbased organization has been a leading source of health information for nearly a century. Connect with us on heart.org, Facebook, Twitter or by calling 1-800- AHA-USA1.

About Go Red for Women The American Heart Association’s Go Red for Women® movement is the trusted, passionate, relevant force for change to end heart disease and stroke in women all over the world. While nearly 80 percent of cardiac events can be prevented, cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in women, claiming the lives of 1 in 3 women.

For 16 years, Go Red for Women has provided a platform for women to come together, raise awareness, fund lifesaving research, advocate for change and improve the lives of all women everywhere. The American Heart Association’s Go Red for Women movement is nationally sponsored by CVS Health. Connect with us on GoRedforWomen. org, Facebook, Twitter or by calling 1-888-MYHEART (1- 888-694-3278).

All coaches are trained to teach as intended, while building relationships with and between girls, creating a positive, inclusive environment and supporting individual improvement.

During the 10 weeks, girls will also be inspired to build lives of purpose and to make a meaningful contribution to community and society. Each team will create and execute a community service project.

Valentines Traditions From Around The World

EAST ISLIP - SOUTH BAY’S NEIGHBOR NEWSPAPERS - WEDNESDAY FEBRUARY 5, 2020 • www.southbaysneighbor.com

Continued From 7 countries didn’t really celebrate Valentine’s Day until recently, but have now put their own spin on the traditions. Men write funny poems or rhyming love notes called Gaekkebrev and send them to women anonymously.

Women must try to guess their admirers by counting dots that are put on the note that correspond to the number of letters in the man’s name.

Estonia In Estonia, Valentine’s Day is a day more devoted to friendship than romantic love. It is called “Sõbrapäev” in Estonian, which translates to “Friend’s Day.” Cards and gifts are exchanged among friends.

Wales In Wales, Valentine’s Day

is not celebrated. Rather, the Welsh commemorate St. Dwynwen’s Day, who is their patron saint of lovers on January 25. It is customary to gift lovespoons, a tradition that likely stems from the practice of sailors carving intricately decorated spoons of wood and presenting them to women they were interested in courting or marrying.

France Considered to be one of the most romantic countries in the world, France can be an ideal place to participate in Valentine’s Day traditions.

The French have an old custom called “une loterie d’amour,” which is a drawing for love. Single men and women of all ages once entered houses that faced one another and took turns calling out to one

another to find romantic matches. The men could refuse the match and leave the woman looking for another man to call on. Women who were not paired up would light a bonfire and damn the men who rejected them.

The French government eventually banned the practice because of rowdy crowds.

Italy Italian lovers celebrate Valentine’s Day in much the same way as Americans.

One interesting Valentine’s tradition in Italy is locking padlocks to different structures, which is called “Lucchetti dell’Amore (locks of love).” Couples attach the locks to bridges, railings and lamp posts, inscribe their names and throw away the key. The action suggests the couple will be together forever.

LI Nets Celebrate Town of Islip The energy was high at the newly-renovated NYCB LIVE Nassau Veterans Coliseum in Hempstead Wednesday, as the LI Nets Basketball Team took on the Fort Wayne Mad Ants during the Nets’ “Town of Islip Night.”

LI Nets General Manager Matt Riccardi and team mascot Dale the Eagle welcomed Islip Town Supervisor Angie Carpenter and the evening’s honorees to the game, which celebrated the Town and its residents.

Mascot Dale and LI Nets Team Hype joined

with LI Ducks Minor League Baseball Team mascot QuackerJack in entertaining the audience with a T-Shirt toss, Islip Trivia and hip-hop dance.

QuackerJack and the QJ Foundation were named “Community Hero of the Game,” along with Islip resident and Navy Veteran Carol Squatrito as “Veteran of the Game.”

Supervisor Carpenter spoke during halftime, congratulating the evening’s honorees, which included 40 high school students from Youth Enrichment Services

(YES).

YES students took part in-game along the high-five line, and were presented with an autographed basketball signed by the team.

“This is a great night for our Town, our honorees, these wonderful YES students and our residents,” said Supervisor Carpenter. “Thank you to the LI Nets for welcoming us and for celebrating the Town of Islip,” she said.

Peter Kletchka, of the Town’s DPW division, wowed the audience with the Star Spangled Banner.

Library Ribbon Cutting Ceremony Continued From 8 educators from across the district.

Marie Guilfu passed away on Tuesday, February 27, 2018, at the age of 44.

However, during her short, exemplary life, Mrs. Guilfu’s service as President of the Park Avenue PTA, Girl Scout Troop Leader, membership in the Jack and Jill organization, Wheatley Heights Mother’s Club, and membership

of the Islip NAACP Education Committee demonstrated her commitment to enriching the lives of students and uplifting her community.

Mrs. Guilfu’s career in teaching began in Bloomfield, Connecticut where she taught English. She settled on Long Island in Brentwood, NY, and advanced her career to become Assistant Principal of South Middle School in 2010.

“The newly

refurbished library named after Marie Frederique Lewis Guilfu, the highly respected community leader and beloved educator who touched the lives of thousands of students during the course of her remarkable career, will serve as a learning hub in South Middle School for many years to come,” said Legislator Gonzalez.

LI NETS CELEBRATE TOWN OF ISLIP - LI Nets General Manager Matt Riccardi and team mascot Dale the Eagle welcomed Islip Town Supervisor Angie Carpenter and the evening’s honorees to the game, which celebrated the Town and its residents.

Bayport-Blue Point Women Athletes Win Suffolk Titles Islip, NY – Islip Town Supervisor Angie Carpenter, Councilwoman Mary Kate Mullen, along with members of the Town Board, recognized the women of the Bayport-Blue Point Varsity Field Hockey and Volleyball teams, for earning the Suffolk County Championship Titles in both sports recently.

This was the second consecutive win for the women’s volleyball team, and the first for the field hockey team.

“Congratulations to both teams on your accomplishments,” said Coucilwoman Mullen. The councilwoman, whose daughter plays on the field hockey team, said the 1-0

win for the title was a nail biter.

“We are so proud of you here within the Town of Islip, and I know the whole Bayport-Bluepoint community is extremely proud. You have brought on a whole new era of young girls who want to play field hockey,” said the Councilwoman.

East Islip Robotics Team Takes On Beaumont Wins East Islip Middle School’s Spelling Bee In 18 Rounds “Tower Takeover” At Adelphi After 18 exhausting rounds, Logan Beaumont was named the winner of East Islip Middle School’s recent annual spelling bee in front of a packed audience of fellow students, parents, teachers and administrators. Beaumon’t winning word was “visite,”

earning him champion status ahead of runner-up Jacob Zilberstein. Jackelyn Arevalo-Carrillo and Brendan Muller finished in a tie for third place.

Ann Mingione and Brian Deedy were the event’s cocoordinators and judges, while Barbara Huether

served as official word announcer.

“The middle school conducted another exciting spelling bee,” said Mingione.

“Congratulations to all of this year’s participants.”

EAST ISLIP - SOUTH BAY’S NEIGHBOR NEWSPAPERS - WEDNESDAY FEBRUARY 5, 2020 • www.southbaysneighbor.com

“TOWER TAKEOVER” - East Islip High School’s robotics class participated in an outside event for the first time on Jan. 18, successfully competing at Adelphi University’s seventh annual “Tower Takeover” VEX Robotics Competition qualifier.

Photo courtesy of East Islip School District East Islip High School’s robotics class participated in an outside event for the first time on Jan. 18, competing at Adelphi University’s seventh annual “Tower Takeover” VEX Robotics Competition qualifier. School robotics teams design, build and program robots for the VRC tournaments, then enter qualifying matches where two pairs of allied teams face off. In “Tower Takeover,” the object of the game is to attain a higher score than the opposing alliance by stacking cubes in goals and placing cubes in towers.

East Islip’s students were at the top of their game at Adelphi, far exceeding expectations for a rookie robotics team, finishing 5-21 in the qualifying matches and ranking eighth out of 44 teams at the end of

preliminary competition.

They lost in the quarterfinal round of the playoffs but earned one of their highest scores of the day.

Comprised of some of the best and brightest young robotics engineers East Islip has to offer, the team was led by senior Sophia Bates, the captain and lead designer.

Junior Kyle Kirschberg drove the robot for the duration, supported by other team members including Mike Baldino, Zoe Elder, Cody Knott, Jake Riordan, Jordan Quillan, Damon Swinson, Jake Thomsett and Pranaav Venkatasubramaniam.

“I am very passionate about robotics and I am glad we got the chance to experience this competition outside of school,” said Bates. “It’s very validating to design and create a robot

inside a classroom and see it compete at a very high level against other schools and similar robotics programs.”

“I loved driving the robot during the competition, having my team support BEAUMONT WINS SPELLING BEE IN 18 ROUNDS - (From left) East Islip me throughout the day by Middle School 2020 spelling bee winner Logan Beaumont and runner up Jacob maintaining the robotic Zilberstein.

“I couldn’t have been prouder of this team,” said robotics teacher James Connell. “Everyone had a specific job on the day of the event and each job was instrumental to the team’s success. In the end, it was a great experience for this young group, and we are BUY ONE, GET ONE looking forward to even more success in future competitions.”
