UNDER NEW OWNERSHIP

Those skills are required for entry level positions in areas that include, but are not limited to, customer service, receptionists and information clerks, housekeeping staff, healthcare support workers, activities aides and food service workers.

The goal of this training is to ensure entry level proficiency of the various un/underemployed and special populations that

will enable them to advance into higher and better positions over time.

St Joseph’s, whose instructors will offer the course, has developed a highly respected hospitality and tourism management undergraduate program that has a proven track record with successful job placement of students prior to and upon graduation.

The soldering and welding sequence will be

run by Suffolk County Community College’s Advanced Manufacturing Training Center, under an agreement with St. Joseph’s. The training will begin at the Opportunity Resource Center and continue at the college’s Brentwood campus. The sequence will lead to American Welding Society certification.

The Opportunity Resource Center will also

be a location for the NassauSuffolk Hospital Council’s Consumer Assistance for the Aged, Blind and Disabled Program.

That program, which is overseen by the Suffolk County Department of Social Services, provides in-person enrollment assistance for programs and services. The target groups are people who fall into

in Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act funds to train dislocated workers in special populations (for example, exoffenders, limited English proficiency, individuals with disabilities, recipients of Temporary Assistance for Needy Families and veterans) who require classroom-based occupational skills training in order to be qualified to be hired for full time employment in the region.

“These grants enable the Opportunity Resource Center to provide additional services to Town residents and become an even more valuable resource for all those who can benefit from the center’s programs,” Huntington Supervisor Frank P. Petrone. “We value the partnership with St. Joseph’s College and thank them for their active role in helping to obtain this grant.”

“We are always looking for new ways to broaden the way the Opportunity Resource Center addresses the need for services that will help residents improve their lives, whether by linking them to assistance programs or by preparing them for jobs that are in demand,” Councilwoman Tracey Edwards said.

“These training programs have the potential to be life-changing, and the Town is pleased to be able to serve our residents this way.”

In addition to basic courses preparing people for entry into the workforce, including basic workforce skills, the training programs will offer two specialized sequences in the hospitality industry and in welding and soldering.

The hospitality sequence will provide students with customer service training, basic server skills, interpersonal relations, problem solving and listening skills, as well as basic hospitality finance and computer skills that align with the industry.

ISLIP - SOUTH BAY’S NEIGHBOR NEWSPAPERS - WEDNESDAY JANUARY 6, 2016 • www.southbaysneighbor.com

The Huntington Opportunity Resource Center will offer some new programs as 2016 begins, helping to provide training in the hospitality industry to disadvantaged and displaced workers and offering a site where the aged, blind and disabled can sign up for public insurance/assistance programs.

The employment training is being offered as a result of two state grants, each for $50,000, the Town obtained through St. Joseph’s College, which has partnered with the Opportunity Resource Center on a number of programs and which will conduct the training in conjunction with Suffolk County Community College.

The first grant provides $50,000 in Workforce Investment Act funds for occupational skills training of dislocated workers to prepare them for full-time jobs (35 hours or more per week) needed by a business group or businesses in the region. A “dislocated worker” is defined as an individual who: either who has been terminated or laid off, or who has received notice of termination or layoff, and is unlikely to return to a previous industry or occupation; has been terminated or laid off, or has received notice of termination or layoff, as a result of any permanent closure of, or substantial layoff at, a plant, facility or enterprise; was self-employed, but is unemployed as a result of general economic conditions or because of natural disasters; is a displaced homemaker - an individual who has been dependent on the income of another family member, but is no longer supported by that income; or is unemployed or underemployed and is experiencing difficulty in obtaining or upgrading employment.

The second grant provides another $50,000

“See the glass half full, and find the good in everyone…”

So wrote one of my former teachers in the pages of my high school yearbook, a sentiment that seems to resonate more with each passing year. Too often do we become consumed by the monotony of our daily routines, allowing the negativity which surrounds us to engulf what always begins as the best of intentions.

With this New Year, I hope to maintain a certain degree of optimism in the face of what can only be classified as Life.

As Frank Sinatra sang, “You’re ridin’ high in April, shot down in May; but I know I’m gonna change that tune when I’m back on top, back on top in June…” And so it

if you will; but to me, it is perhaps the greatest sense of realism there is. Learning to deal with life in all its glory and chaos is as real as it gets.

To all my readers, I thank you for yet another year of support, of sweet sentiments and gentle critiques. 2015 was a year of milestones: my 10th year working here at South Bay’s Neighbor Newspapers, my 500th In Step column and the expansion of our blossoming sister publication, Seasons™ Magazine. It was also, let us not fail to mention, the debut of Buddy the Betta and his occasional In Swim features. {Buddy sends his regards as well, and thanks his supporters for their constant fan letters and accolades.} Here’s to another year of making memories… and, most importantly, of making the best of things.

The Art of Adventure February 26th through May 30th, 2016 Known for his meticulously researched paintings of the American Civil War and other significant historical subjects, Mort Künstler of Oyster Bay is also a prolific illustrator whose romance, adventure and sporting illustrations have engaged and entertained readers and admirers for six decades. Mort Künstler: The Art of Adventure features nearly 100 original artworks and ephemera spanning the breadth of his prolific career, created for such popular twentieth century publications as True, Argosy, Men’s Story, Sports Afield, Outdoor Life, American Weekly and The Saturday Evening Post, as well as movie posters, book jackets, and advertisements reflecting American popular culture and the diverse artistic genres that comprise his exceptional creative journey. *** The Brush is My Pen: Art that Tells Stories February 26th through July 30th, 2016 The Brush is My Pen explores American art in the narrative tradition, from the 1820s through today.

From the classicallyinfluenced historical and genre paintings of 19th century artists to powerful contemporary narrative work, artists have long created richly evocative stories. In this exhibition’s 18 paintings, prints, and photographs, chosen primarily from the Long Island Museum’s permanent collection, artists have explored every aspect of the human condition,

just as writers of literary and stage productions.

The exhibition explores narrative art through four separate themes - work, satire, drama, and hope - and includes a range of work from artists of every era. William Sidney Mount’s Loss and Gain, 1847, a satirical work in support of the American temperance movement, is a typically striking example

Life As We Know It goes, month-to-month, dayto-day, even hour-to-hour.

You just simply don’t know what may be in store over the horizon, an uncertainty which inspires both excitement and apprehension, depending upon your makeup.

The only constant is the need to adapt with the rolling tide, rather than allowing it to sweep us away. We may not be able to control what obstacles come our way; but we can surely dictate how we react to them.

So, as we begin 2016, let us dispense with whatever shallow resolutions we have most likely already broken, in favor of something far more meaningful – a new way of thinking, of being, of living. Let us find that good in everyone and see the bright side of the cloudiest of days.

Osteoporosis ( N A P S ) — Osteoporosis—bone loss— is a serious condition that half of all women and many men can expect to develop at some time in their lives.

Fortunately, it can be detected and treated. In fact, women who have a bone density scan have 35 percent fewer hip fractures

than those who do not.

The problem is only 23 percent of eligible patients are scanned. The experts at the National Osteoporosis Foundation (NOF) say that if you’re a woman over 65 or a man over 70 or if you’re over 50, postmenopausal and have risk factors for osteoporosis, you should

probably talk to your doctor or other health care provider about getting a bone density test, especially if you’ve never had one. Many doctors are learning more about this testing device at www. hologic.com.

Taurus

April 21 - May 21 Taurus, expect to feel pulled in two directions this week. It’s a pivotal time at work, but in the same measure, you have much going on at home. Think things over carefully.

Gemini

May 22 - June 21 Gemini, you may find your energy levels unusually low this week, and your productivity may suffer as a result.

Maybe someone else can energize you a bit and lend a helping hand.

Cancer

June 22 - July 22 Cancer, you will get to your destination soon enough, but the trip may be a bit of a headache. Patience is essential this week; otherwise, you may give up prematurely.

Leo

July 23 - August 23 Misinformation is spreading, so research everything to make informed decisions this week, Leo. It may help you avoid an expensive mistake down the line.

Virgo

August 24 - Sept. 22 Virgo, you may have a wonderful time with family or friends this week, even if you are crunched for time. Savor the small moments as they come your way.

Libra

Sept. 23 - October 23 Libra, this is a good week to catch up on paperwork, filing or tedious tasks you have let fall by the wayside. Make use of the slow week to recharge.

Scorpio

October 24 - Nov. 22 Scorpio, you will be missed as much as you miss another person this week.

Wait out this separation a little while longer, keeping in mind that your reunion is on its way.

Sagittarius

November 23 - Dec. 21 Do whatever you need to do to rejuvenate your spirit, Sagittarius. Spend some more time with friends and avoid prolonged solo activities. Soon your motivation will return.

Capricorn

Dec. 22 - January 20 Capricorn, this may turn out to be a strange week, as you can’t seem to fully focus on anything.You may get frustrated at your inability to concentrate, but that focus will return soon.

Aquarius

January 21 - Feb. 18 Aquarius, if you become too wrapped up in business or personal obligations, take a step back and reevaluate your priorities. Some things need to be rearranged.

Pisces

Feb. 19 - March 20 Pisces, you are on a quest this week to find the perfect gift for a friend. This person will appreciate your efforts, and your bond will only grow stronger.

Museum to Go Dormant

Continued From 5 of the artist’s multilayered storytelling.

Edward Lamson Henry’s Home Again, 1908, a nostalgically-tinged work expressing longing for an America that was rapidly fading, tells the

tale of a family reunion.

And Margery Caggiano’s Michael as Don Manuel Osorio de Zuñiga, 1978, is both an expression of love for the artist’s Spidermant-shirt-wearing grandson and a sly reference to the famous Francisco de Goya painting of a similar title.

Whether exploring an aspect of history or simply appealing to the viewer’s sense of humor, all of these works prove the old adage that a “picture is worth a thousand words.” *** Colors of Long Island February 26th through

HONORING THE SACRIFICE - Veterans joined a candlelight prayer service to pay tribute to the Americans who served during the Battle of the Bulge some 71 years ago this December, hosted by the Museum of American Armor at Old Bethpage Village Restoration. Joining the services were Bulge veterans (left to right) Irving Greger of Plainview, Nathan Futterman of New Rochelle, Burl Mansberger of Islip and Eugene Kleeman of Bethpage.

Delivering Cheer items for local children whose families were identified as being in need through the parish program. They distributed these gifts, along with stocking stuffers, Christmas decorations, turkeys and hams.

This eighth consecutive toy drive was a huge success, surpassing the impact of last year’s toy collection. With CHS’s Information Technology Field Services Department spearheading the effort,

system staff members from various departments worked together to collect newly purchased merchandise and donate more than $2,000 for additional purchases. Many gave of their time to sort and deliver these gifts.

A total of more than 1,300 children received toys in this partnership with community members and the Wyandanch church.

They conducted a variety of tests to determine pH, oxygen levels and overall health of the specimens they collected.

As they conducted their analysis, the young scientists received a visit from Dr. Mohammed Rana, a biology professor at St. Joseph’s College with an expert background in environmental science.

Dr. Rana brought a group of his students who are working on a similar study in Patchogue. The college students and Doshi STEM students compared notes, shared their research and discussed what they had learned.

Thus far, the Doshi STEM scientists have determined that the Glen Cove site is affected by heavy metals in runoff from a local factory. A nearby stream is carrying the runoff away from the factory and depositing the pollutants in the affected ecosystem.

The students hope to learn more as the study unfolds, including ways to resolve the pollution problem and return the site to health once more.

“Our students are developing an intricate understanding of the effect humans have on the environment,” Living Environment Teacher Paulette D’Allessio said of the Doshi science students and their work. “They are learning about the impact we have on our local ecosystems and how it effects us, then expanding upon that knowledge to work toward possible solutions. All the while, they are getting invaluable hands-on lessons in science, as well as an opportunity to give back to their community.”

“While textbooks are an essential teaching tool, there is no greater lesson for our students than going out into the field and directly interacting with what they are studying,” said Doshi STEM Institute Interim Principal Jack Lenson.

“When our students see firsthand that there are real world implications to their research with real world applications, it creates a genuine enthusiasm for the curriculum.”

The students of the Nassau BOCES Doshi STEM Institute are looking into some fairly serious issues affecting Long Island’s ecology. In their ongoing Human Impact Study, these science scholars are conducting research both in the field and in the lab to determine the short and long term effects of pollution in local ecosystems.

The team of Nassau BOCES environmentalists recently took a trip to a “superfund” site in Glen Cove. A superfund site is an ecological site that his been contaminated by pollutants to the point that its ecosystem is dying.

The students collected a full spectrum of samples including microorganisms, plant and animal life.

For comparison, they did the same at a “pristine” site - one that has been untouched by pollutants in Caumsett State Historic Park Preserve.

With their fieldwork complete, the Doshi STEM research team took the samples back to their school lab for analysis.

In addition, during the month of December the staff at Mercy delivered more than 20 cases of food to St. Agnes Cathedral’s food pantry to benefit residents in need.

An apple a day may keep the doctor away, but a recent study found drinking tea might keep the cardiologist at bay.

The USDA reported that men and women who drank black tea for three weeks reduced their total and bad

cholesterol (LDL) levels by an average of 7.5 percent.

Researchers concluded that drinking tea may reduce the

Take Heart With Tea risk of coronary heart disease.

Antioxidants called flavonoids, found in both green and black teas, are thought to

be potent weapons in the fight against heart disease.

That news may be especially important

for women, given that heart disease kills more women than all forms of cancer combined including breast cancer.

News Of Older Houses (NAPSI)—Older homes often have a unique charm—but few have insulation that meets modern energy efficiency standards. This can result in air leaks, wasted energy and high utility bills. One way to fix this is with spray polyurethane foam (SPF) insulation.

It can be seamlessly added in and around walls, attics and roofs.

By sealing cracks, seams and joints, some SPF products provide a waterproof membrane that acts as a vapor and air barrier, which in addition to insulating improves energy efficiency.

A

properly insulated home can reduce heating and cooling needs by 30 percent, according to the Department of Energy.

Many homeowners don’t realize that the attic is one of the main places where heat and cold air can escape.

As the Department of Energy explains, holes in a typical attic account for 15 percent of a home’s energy loss. Cracks and gaps let air out and rainwater in. SPF can fill in around the cracks to create an effective barrier.

You can learn more at www.whysprayfoam.org.

Savings vary. Find out

why in the seller’s fact sheet on R-values. Higher R-values mean greater insulating power.

Living With Diabetes (NAPSI)—Chef Chris Smith (aka The Diabetic Chef), a graduate of the Culinary Institute of America and a person living with type 1 diabetes, may have good news for the nearly 30 million other Americans with his condition: Being diagnosed with diabetes doesn’t mean your life needs to lack flavor. There are many ways to prepare nutritious and delicious meals without sacrificing taste.

In fact, Chef Smith worked with Equal

0-calorie sweetener to develop a digital recipe guide and tips to take the guesswork out of meal planning.

Five other things he suggests: • Use your resources, including your health care provider, dietitian and Certified Diabetes Educator.

• Understand the relationship between carbohydrates and blood sugar and learn how to manage them.

• Monitor how much

sodium, saturated fat and sugar you consume.

• Incorporate more fruits and vegetables into your diet.

• Read nutritional labels—know what you’re eating. A variety of sweet and savory dishes that use Equal instead of sugar are suitable for people with diabetes and anyone who wants a healthy lifestyle.

It tastes great in hot and cold beverages, on fruit or cereal, and in most recipes that use sugar.

Caring For Older Adults (NAPSI)—With a growing aging population, the amount of family caregivers in the United States is also on the rise. There are nearly 45 million people who serve as a caregiver for a family member or friend who is 50 or older.

Serving as a caregiver can be rewarding but difficult.

Often, caregivers are unaware of local aging resources that might be able to assist them.

(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 leads to impulse buys and

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.

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.
