Assimilation To Civilian Life Through Brazilian Jiu Jitsu & Yoga Free Classes Offered To All Military & Veterans Project9line has partnered with some of the most reputable BJJ and Yoga schools on Long Island to offer hundreds of FREE classes for the month of November! To all military and veterans, come try or restart your BJJ and/or Yoga training and begin or continue healing; your life will improve in countless ways. Challenge yourself alongside your brothers and sisters in arms.

The reintegration for Military Veterans back into civilian life can be difficult.

Signs and symptoms of struggle are not always easily identifiable. PTSD, if left untreated, can lead to substance

abuse issues and even suicide. PTSD is a growing epidemic; nationally there is an average of 22 veteran suicides a day.

More can and should be done to help people that are struggling.

Studies show that Long Island has the second largest population of Veterans in the United States, second only to San Diego, California. Suffolk County has approximately 85,000 veterans and Nassau County has approximately 75,000 veterans.

Instructors, practitioners and studies have shown the benefits of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and Yoga on the emotional,

The Peace Corps is Recruiting Volunteers from Diverse Backgrounds

issues in the countries we serve,” says Carol Spahn, acting director of the Peace Corps.

“We also seek to create inclusion – a culture that encourages collaboration, flexibility and fairness; and leverages diversity so that all individuals are able to contribute to their full potential.”

If you’re interested in Peace Corps service, here’s what to know.

New Challenges While Peace Corps service is demanding for every volunteer, being from a diverse ethnic background can introduce additional challenges, according to those who have served.

“I had to deal with people’s expectations

about Americans looking a certain way. About once a week I had to explain that Americans come from diverse backgrounds, and that I was just as much an American as any other Peace Corps volunteer,” says Neng Lee, a first-generation HmongAmerican who served as a health volunteer in the Kyrgyz Republic (Kyrgyzstan) from 2015 to 2017, and as a youth development volunteer from 2017 to 2019.

Valuable Assets In other cases, a diverse background can be an advantage.

“Integrating into Jamaican culture was easy due to the many similarities

statement is “Empowering Veterans with Reintegration through the Arts and Activities”.

There is not enough done to help our Veterans. Statistics show that twentytwo veterans decide to take their own life every day. Many of our veterans return home from performing the ultimate duty of serving our country only to face hardship, depression and substance abuse. Project9line encourages all veterans to be the best they can be.

Through their extensive resources and hands on team, they want to maximize the potential of each and every veteran.

How Teachers FCU is Making Strides Towards the Cure

Teachers Federal Credit Union is helping get closer to the cure through in branch donations and being a flagship sponsor of the Making Strides Against Breast Cancer Walk.

Beach State Park, and gathered with 150 employee walkers to raise a total of $35,000.

Throughout the remainder of October, you can still go into any Teachers location and donate money for a pink ribbon, with all donations going to cancer research.

Strong communities are able to thrive thanks to the efforts of their residents, including those who give up their free time to volunteer with local charitable organizations. Though the impact of volunteers is often seen through the lens of the projects they help to initiate and complete, there’s no denying just how valuable

volunteers are from an economic standpoint. In its 2018 “Volunteering in America Report,” AmeriCorps, an organization dedicated to strengthening communities and fostering civic engagement through service and volunteering, reported that Americans volunteered nearly 6.9 billion hours worth an estimated $167 billion in

2017. Volunteering figures to be even more valuable in the months and years ahead as towns, cities and countries look to recover from a global pandemic that claimed millions of lives and devastated economies big and small. As the world attempts to rebuild itself once the pandemic has ended, volunteers can play vital roles in reestablishing

their communities. In fact, many people have already made that recognition.

According to data from the professional social networking site LinkedIn, the site’s users had added more than 110,00 volunteer activities to their profiles between the early stages of the pandemic in 2020 and the end of summer 2020.

with my Mexican culture,” says Maria Elena Venegas Banulelos, a Spanish speaking, MexicanAmerican Peace Corps volunteer who served in Jamaica. “For instance, both Mexicans and Jamaicans are very religious, we enjoy a little spice in our food, and like to dress our best when in public. Both cultures love soccer, dancing and loud music. Also, the environments are similar in the structure of the homes and agricultural products, and both are home to the most humble people.”

This sentiment is shared by other volunteers as well.

“My color and my accent have not affected my volunteer work negatively, instead this has allowed me to integrate well in my

community, and people even call me ‘African,’” says Aboubakar Bodi, who was born in Togo and served in Jamaica.

Bringing Skills Home Peace Corps service can be an emotionally rewarding experience and an effective way to develop the skills needed to make a difference in one’s community back home. It can also be a key stepping stone in one’s career. Volunteers serve for 27 months in education, health, agriculture and other sectors, and upon their return, they are able to usher innovative solutions to collective problems in U.S. communities.

East Islip Celebrates Return Of Homecoming With All-Day Festivities

East Islip enjoyed an allday celebration of school and community pride on Oct. 8, featuring its first high school pep rally and homecoming events since the fall of 2019.

The week leading up to homecoming was spent showing off EI Pride as students and staff dressed up each day of Spirit Week, earning points to win the coveted Class Cup, a yearlong competition between the classes.

On homecoming morning, the pep rally was held outside this year at Sal Ciampi Field at Boomer Esiason Stadium.

The school’s varsity and JV teams were introduced and senior athletes and band members recognized.

Students enjoyed “Minute to Win It” games run by the class councils and student government, including sack races and a tug of war.

In light of uncertainty regarding mandates, a traditional parade through the community was not planned. However, student

government organized a mini-parade at the end of the afternoon. The march through the school campus was led by the pep band, followed by varsity, JV, East Islip Middle School, and East Islip Competition cheerleaders; several high school clubs; the PTSA; class councils, and Pee Wee football players. The parade ended on the field behind the stadium, where the community had the chance to sample five different food trucks before and during the big game.

Just before dusk fell, the undefeated varsity football team took the field, bearing American flags as well as the names of the 13 U.S. military personnel killed in Afghanistan on Aug. 26 on their helmets.

Once the game against Half Hollow Hills West began, East Islip took charge, racking up the touchdowns en route to a commanding 42-7 victory. Quarterback Derek Burrell completed six of eight passes for 101 yards

and a touchdown while running for 65 yards and two touchdowns, while Leo Lopez ran for 51 yards and two touchdowns. Other notable efforts included an interception for Aiden Lenox and a sack by Cooper Parkinson.

During halftime, the school’s royals were announced: freshmen Julianna D’Addario and Vincent Abbatiello, sophomores Charlie Heffernan and Mary Ranzie, juniors Riley Kramer and Muhammed Abdullah, and seniors Bill Ahmad and Jenna Scandale.

“The week was a huge success,” student government advisers Kate Boucher and Bridget Lopiccolo said. “Everyone enjoyed the events and pep rally. We have many great ideas planned and are looking forward to a spring pep rally to celebrate the senior athletes who participate in winter and spring sports.”

Islip Town Councilman Jim O’Connor shared his enthusiasm for supporting this crucial environmental initiative, that also cultivates an aquaculture industry for the local marine to land economy. “The science and economics behind this project are a win-win for the Great South Bay community. Great South Bay Shellfish Cultivation Facility produces high quality clams, oysters,

and kelp for growers from here on the east coast in the Town of Islip to distributors throughout the country,” said Councilman O’Connor.

Councilman O’Connor continued, “most importantly, the Great South Bay Shellfish Cultivation Facility along with the Bay Bottom Aquaculture Leasing Program is an important step to saving the Great South Bay. The locally grown Kelp filters out harmful nitrates, which are produced by cesspools, that pollute the Great South Bay. In conjunction, each one of the thousands of clams from the Bay Bottom Leasing program filters out 30 to 50 gallons of

water daily. This is a clean, sustainable, and natural process to remove toxic elements from our natural water sources. We have to do our part to protect Islip’s environment, ecodiversity, and natural resources.”

“I commend Supervisor Angie Carpenter and Councilman John Cochrane for their vision and leadership to bring the Great South Bay Shellfish Cultivation Facility and Bay Bottom Leasing Program to the Town of Islip. As Islip Town Councilman, supporting and raising awareness about the Town’s environmental projects has and will continue to be a focus of mine,” concluded Councilman Jim O’Connor.

Islip Students Hit High Notes The Islip Public Schools Department of Fine and Performing Arts and Islip High School are proud to announce the selection of three students as alternates to the New York State School Music Association All-State Honor Ensembles and eight students who will perform with the Suffolk County Music Educators’ Association All-County Vocal Jazz Ensemble.

NYSSMA studentmusicians Hannah Evans (flute), Maggie Frazer (voice) and Isabella Green were selected for the All-State Festival based on their performance in the NYSSMA Solo and Ensemble Festival.

All-County Vocal Jazz student-musicians Ella Beiser (alto), Lucas Bohr

(bass), Richie Castronova (bass), Leah Cyran (alto), Maggie Frazer (alto), Madelynn Lang (alto), Daniel Rubinson (bass) and Jordyn Zurbaran (alto) were selected through an audition process that took place last spring among hundreds of applicants throughout Suffolk County and New York State.

Students prepare for the festivals with the assistance of their school music teachers and then participate in a series of rehearsals that conclude with a concert. The students will have the opportunity to work and perform under the leadership of highly skilled directors from the college music community and the professional music industry. All-State

performances will be held during the NYSSMA Winter Conference in Rochester, on Dec. 2-5. The All-County Vocal Jazz Ensemble will perform at the SCMEA Day of Jazz, held on Nov. 6, at East Islip High School. American vocalist and director of Elvanelle music, Kimberly Hawkey, will work with and conduct participants at the Day of Jazz.

“We are extremely thrilled to have these remarkable student musicians representing Islip Schools in the AllState and All-County festivals. Their selection is a testament to their hard work and their teachers’ support,” District Director of Fine and Performing Arts Brian Kroll stated.

cats as bad omens can be traced to the Middle Ages.

Back then, people believed witches avoided detection by turning themselves into black cats.

The perception of black cats as something more than mere felines may even pre-date the Middle Ages. For example, in Norse mythology, Freyja, a goddess of, among other things, a type of Late Scandinavian Iron Age magic known as “Seior,” was believed to have ridden a chariot pulled by two cats. That connection to sorcery could explain the link between black cats and witches that continues to be made today.

Despite the lengthy history suggesting black cats are bad omens, it’s not all bad for these dark-colored felines. One researcher at the Carnegie Museum of Natural History found that Welsh folklore depicted black cats as harbingers of good luck, and even noted their ability to predict the weather.

Black cats are one of many symbols of Halloween. And much like jack-o’-lanterns and trickor-treating, the story of how black cats came to be associated with Halloween is interesting and thoughtprovoking.
