News from Senator Phil Boyle...

Dear Neighbor, As many of you know, for the last eight years since taking office as your State Senator, I have held an Annual Veterans Appreciation Pancake Breakfast. Each year, my staff and I are proud to provide hundreds of Veterans, and their family members, a free pancake breakfast at a local

American Legion Hall.

It is a small token of our tremendous appreciation for your service to our nation.

Unfortunately due to the COVID Pandemic, this year we must modify our annual event. We will be doing a drive-through style “Grab & Go” breakfast on Saturday, August 29, from 8:00 am to 11 am, at the American Legion Post 94, 22 Grove Place, Babylon,

NY 11702.

We stand stronger today due to the contributions of generations of Veterans who valiantly served to protect our freedoms and fight tyranny across the globe. If you can make it, please drive by for your free breakfast box. We would love the opportunity to personally thank each of you for your service.

Best Regards, Senator Phil Boyle

The National Ovarian Cancer Coalition To Host Its Annual Together In Teal® No Boundaries National Broadcast Celebration

The National Ovarian Cancer Coalition (NOCC), will be hosting its 2020 Together in TEAL - No Boundaries, National Broadcast Celebration on Saturday, September 26, at 7 PM ET/ 6 PM CT and 4 PM PT. NOCC is launching a new nationwide campaign and event that will enable our community to unite from coast-to-coast with no limits. While our traditional Together in TEAL Run/Walk events cannot take place in the interest of safety and public health, our community needs to be united. The organization’s

signature event, hosted in communities across the United States each year, raises the critical funds necessary to support Earlier Awareness, Quality of Life for Survivors, Research, and Community Outreach. On September 26, we will unite people across the nation touched by ovarian cancer for our Together in TEAL - No Boundaries National Broadcast Celebration. This event will highlight the most inspiring and remarkable stories being told every day in our communities. Ovarian cancer has no boundaries, so

our movement to eradicate it shouldn’t have them either.

The global pandemic which limits us from gathering has empowered us. Now is a time for unity. And NOCC is ready to come together in the fight against ovarian cancer. Many do not know that ovarian cancer is one of the deadliest of all gynecologic cancers, that 1 in 78 women will be diagnosed in their lifetime, and that there are no screening tests available.

NOCC is a national women’s health organization focused on saving lives by fighting tirelessly to prevent and cure

ovarian cancer and improve the quality of life for Survivors. All work is done with one vision in mind to live in a world where no woman ever loses a life to this disease. When you support NOCC, you invest in saving lives. Join us on September 26 by visiting https://runwalk. ovarian.org/longisland About National Ovarian Cancer Coalition For more than 25 years, the National Ovarian Cancer Coalition has been committed to raising awareness, promoting education, and funding

research supporting women, families, and communities touched by ovarian cancer.

The National Education Association notes that recess and free play are critical to the development of students in grades pre-K through eighth grade.

According to the NEA, recess and free play during the school day encourages interpersonal interactions and problem-solving skills, and such opportunities also can prove beneficial for older students. Despite these benefits, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention report that 40 percent of schools have reduced or eliminated recess over the last 20 years in an attempt to increase instructional time for students. While that may be understandable, it ignores the many benefits of recess and free play, which the American Academy of Pediatrics says are crucial to students’ mental, emotional, physical, and social development. In addition, the AAP notes that research

An increased reliance on virtual home instruction has many students rethinking their organizational strategies and daily school schedules.

Learning at home is different from being in a traditional classroom environment, but with some effective strategies, students can persevere without missing a beat.

• Stick To A Schedule.

Many students are successful because they follow a schedule. The Center for Social and Emotional Foundations of Early Learning says that routines and schedules are important because they influence a child’s emotional and cognitive development.

Children feel secure with schedules, which may help them recognize what’s expected of them.

When learning at home, students should strive to maintain as consistent a schedule as possible, including bedtimes, wake times, hours devoted to learning, and time to get outside or engage in downtime activities.

• Connect Live If Possible.

There are many free tools

and resources available that enable teachers to provide live video lessons or to record them so students can watch them later. Similarly, social networking apps and virtual meeting programs enable students to connect digitally. This can be helpful for collaborative learning assignments or just to see a familiar face.

• Stick To Tools That Work. Once students find apps or systems that work, they should stick with them, offers Khan Academy, an educational tutoring resource. There are many factors outside of one’s control during virtual instruction, but maintaining consistency with tools and schedules is one way to feel more confident and secure.

• Check Student Accounts Frequently. Just like students, teachers may be learning as they go in regard to remote learning strategies.

Students should be sure to check school email accounts or other places where teachers post assignments a few times per day so that they stay on top of all assignments

and are aware of due dates.

• Reach Out To Instructors. Allegheny College suggests students contact their teachers if they are unsure of how to participate in remote learning environments.

Ask questions about assignments, get clarification on key topics and be sure to tune into any remote chats or virtual “office hours.”

• Stay In Touch With Guidance, If Needed.

Remote learning is a new experience for many students, and there may be certain struggles or road blocks. It can be easy to grow frustrated with equipment failures or lack of in-person interaction.

Schools employ qualified therapists and guidance counselors who are just a click, call or email away if issues need to be talked through. Students should utilize all resources made available to them.

Virtual home instruction can be made even easier with some extra assistance and guidance.

How To Support Scholastic Athletes

• Create Smartphones have made it possible to record nearly every one of life’s special moments and milestones, so chances are coaches, parents and neighbors have footage of local athletes competing in their sports.

Parents, coaches and other fans can work together to create highlight videos for local scholastic sports teams, sharing the finished products via social media. These videos can make for great and lasting memories for student-athletes and even lift their spirits at a time when everyone can use a boost.

• Host pep rallies. Organize a pep rally to honor and show support for local athletes. Work with school officials to ensure everyone celebrates safely.

Such events are integral to studentathletes’ experience during typical sports seasons, so they can be a great way for communities to offer some semblance of normalcy to athletes who have worked hard to make the team.

Student-athletes face uncertainty in regard to the 2020-21 scholastic sports season, but there are many ways for local communities to support their student-athletes, even if the games are postponed or canceled.

Factors To Consider When Setting Up A School Carpool

Getting kids to and from school can be a challenge for working parents. School start times do not always coordinate with parents’ work schedules, and school typically lets out before parents’ workdays end.

Carpools are one way parents confront the challenge posed by juggling work and family. With a new school year approaching, parents can take the following factors into consideration as they work to establish carpools.

• Determine your insurance needs. Before planning carpools, parents who plan to participate should contact their auto insurance providers to make sure their policies cover driving others. The organizer of the carpool should make sure every parent does this prior to

the school year. Some parents may need to purchase supplemental insurance, and each parent should be willing to provide proof of their insurance as well.

• Reach out to parents in your neighborhood.

A carpool that is neighborhood-based as opposed to one that is based more on students’ social circles will likely prove more convenient for parents. A carpool with neighbors means parents won’t have to drive far to pick up and/or drop off other students, saving everyone valuable time each day.

• Don’t go overboard.

Even if your minivan or SUV can seat half a dozen children, you may want to limit the carpool to a more manageable number of youngsters.

Getting kids up and out the door each morning is a challenge when there’s just one youngster

involved, let alone several. By limiting a carpool to between two and four children, parents won’t have to worry about too many hiccups during their morning routines.

• Discuss early closures and other unique days in advance. School schedules tend to be the same throughout the year, but there are various times when early closures can affect carpools. This is especially true for parents with children who attend different schools. When planning a carpool, discuss early closure dates with other parents and develop a plan for how to manage pickup.

School carpools are convenient for working parents. Planning prior to the school year is a great way to ensure carpools are successful.

The 2020-21 school year promises to be one unlike any other today’s students, and even their parents and grandparents, have ever known.

In March 2020, many schools were forced to abruptly cancel in-person instruction as government officials tried to prevent the spread of the deadly COVID-19 virus. As the 201920 school year wound down and summer approached, school officials remained uncertain if they would reopen for in-person instruction in the fall, leaving student-athletes to wonder what would happen to fall sports seasons.

The cancellation of in-person school sessions and extracurricular activities was hard on every student, and athletes have proven no exception. Many graduating seniors did not get a chance to compete alongside their teammates during spring sports season, bringing their scholastic athletic careers to an abrupt end. With the upcoming 2020-21 scholastic sports season in similar limbo, student-athletes in the class of 2021 might be worried that their own chances to compete are in jeopardy as well. In light of that, local communities can take steps to support scholastic athletes during an uncertain time.

• Make a show of your support. Stayat-home measures prevented many schools from hosting traditional graduation ceremonies for graduating seniors. However, many communities found ways to honor their grads, and they can do the same for scholastic

During these tough times, it is very important we continue to help others and support local charities where we can. Enjoy this past article about a wonderful nonprofit, The Book Fairies.

surpassed 1.4 million books collected!

They function out of their main office in Freeport, but they also work with 40 different special needs sites that pickup book donations and bring them to their office. Every book that they collect goes through sorting, their process of thoroughly examining the type of book and condition it’s in. The Book Fairies heavily relies on the work of selfless The Book Fairies is an organization volunteers, who generously give of their time to help this charity! The Book Fairies located in Freeport, NY. Years ago, receive help from about 1,500 volunteers founder Amy Zaslansky heard about a each year! classroom that had no books to offer to its students. Amy decided to start a book Because of their book donations, many people have been able to experience drive for used children’s books so she could hopefully be able to donate books the joy of reading. One local school that to this classroom. By word of mouth and received many book donations through hard work, this drive took off and resulted this organization in turn saw their school wide reading level increase 400%! in a final donation of about 3,500 books!

Driven by her desire to make a difference in her community, Amy later created The Book Fairies, a 501C3 non-profit.

The Book Fairies accepts donations of new and gently used books, and connects them with libraries, schools, veteran organizations, soup kitchens and more organizations throughout all five boroughs and on Long Island that do not have the funds to foster the love of reading.

Reading materials can not only foster literacy and academic success, but they can also provide a respite from personal struggles and nature a love of reading across age groups. 50% of schools that this organization works with does not have libraries. 64% of fourth graders in New York State read below their grade level. Books can be expensive and many people do not have the funds to afford reading material. Thankfully, Book Fairies are there to help!

5 Smart Ways to Prep for Back-to-School Without the Stress (StatePoint) Whether the new school year means your kids will be heading back to the classroom, learning remotely, or a mix of both, back-to-school will most likely be stressful.

Thinking ahead can help prepare everyone for a new way of learning, and simplify the transition from the slow ease of summertime to the bustle of the school year.

Follow these tips so that everyone is ready when the first bell rings.

1. Resume the Routine.

Summertime schedules are often lax, but a more structured routine is important during the school year. At least a week before classes start, reestablish set bedtimes and mealtimes to ease everyone back into school year habits.

Even if children are remote-learning this fall, keep first day of school traditions alive with their favorite breakfast, pictures and a first day of school outfit.

2. Simplify Shopping.

Create a checklist of items you’ll need to buy, as well as plan out where you’ll make purchases. Check school dress codes and required supply lists before you head out, so you don’t have to make multiple trips. In addition to the usual supplies, stock up on extra face masks, personal tissues and hand sanitizer. If your child will be learning virtually, you may want to consider adding items to the list like extra USB chargers and ports, noisecancelling headphones – to help older siblings concentrate – and even blue light filtering glasses for kids that will be in front of a computer or tablet more than usual.

3. Set Up a Homework Station. A dedicated space to store supplies and paperwork is key to staying organized. Let kids take pride in this space so they want to spend time studying there by having them create their own accessories and decorating them to their liking. Duck Tape provides an easy, inexpensive way to add flair to school gear. Cover notebooks and folders in a favorite Duck Tape design, customize desk organizers and décor with cool on-trend colors, or craft one-ofa-kind creations, like pencil pouches and tablet covers. Available in more than 250 colors, designs and licenses, there’s a roll to suit any kid’s style.

4. Stick to the Schedule.

Once the hustle and bustle of the school year kicks into high gear, it’s important that students, parents and teachers stay on track. Find a unique way to display activities, homework or personal messages to your kids like a “quote of the day.”

You can use colored tape and chalkboard tape to outline a fun activity chart on a dry erase board or chalkboard easel. In

addition to to-do lists and homework assignments, make sure to include outdoor time for recess and opportunities for arts and crafts. At the end of each day, sit together to check off everything that’s been completed and help your kids update the schedule for the next day – this way they stay engaged and excited for what’s to come.

5. Label Supplies. Kids are forgetful and it’s easy for supplies to become misplaced or swapped with other children. To ease your mind about your child sharing pencils or accidentally grabbing the wrong backpack, have a night where you sit down and label supplies with colorful Duck Tape. Your child can select favorite colors and customize folders for each subject.

If learning from home, this is also great way to prevent “he stole my pencil” arguments amongst siblings.

Simple preparations can help your family adjust to a new schedule and new school year.

College campuses are diverse. Newly minted high school graduates embarking on the next stage of their studies might dominate college campuses, but many established professionals who have long since graduated from high school are also among the student bodies at universities across the globe.

The National Center for Education Statistics says that one in five Americans enrolled in undergraduate higher education is at least 30 years old.

The changing face of higher education should be a comfort to adults who may have been apprehensive about heading back to school.

Adults considering a return to school should not allow age to deter them from enrolling.

Many people now complete degrees later in life, while others return to school to study subjects they did not study during their first go-rounds as college students.

Finding the right fit in regard to a college

is different for adults than it is students right out of high school.

Responsibilities to family and employers complicate the decision about where to go to school. The following tips can help adults as they decide where to continue their educations.

• Choose a school that meets your needs. Look for schools that can accommodate priorities other than academics, such as family and work.

Many schools now offer flexible schedules and online classes. Check out schools with strong reputations for working with adult learners.

• Sit down with a college counselor. If you’ve been in college before, pull your transcripts and bring any information about coursework, credits and life experience. This way you can be credited for what you have already accomplished.

Counselors can serve as invaluable resources as you navigate a return to the classroom.

• Brush up on the skills required of successful students. If you’ve been out of school for awhile,

brush up on your study skills, note-taking, annotating, and other skills that can serve you well in an academic environment.

• Speak with your employer. Many employers support employees who want to return to school, especially when employees will be gaining skills that are applicable to their existing careers. Some employees may even help their employers finance their educations.

According to Matthew Reed, the vice president for learning at Brookdale Community College in Lincroft, N.J., roughly 90 percent of midsize or large employers offer some kind of tuition reimbursement.

Even when that’s not available, some employers may have an arrangement with certain schools that provide discounts to their workers, says Reed.

Adults returning to school is becoming increasingly common.

Planning and making use of resources at your disposal can help you navigate the process of returning to school as an adult.

East Islip Native Inducted Into The 2020 Class Of The New York State Veterans’ Hall Of Fame

Navy Senior Chief Boatswain’s Mate Kevin Nolan, a 2003 graduate from Westhampton Beach High School in Westhampton Beach, and native of East Islip, was inducted into the 2020 Class of the New York State Veterans’ Hall of Fame

by New York State Senator Monica R. Martinez (D-3rd District), Aug. 18.

The ceremony was conducted virtually from the Patchogue Fire Department in Patchogue, with Nolan’s wife, Stephanie, in attendance to accept the award on his behalf.

Nolan, a Navy reservist attached to Navy Expeditionary Combat Command in Virginia Beach, Virginia, also devotes his time as a police officer with the Suffolk County Police Department. As a police officer, he was selected for the 1st Precinct’s Gang Unit due to both his military experience and his proactive police work in the North Amityville area.

“This is a wonderful honor for me and my family.

It’s also an opportunity to inspire future leaders of this great nation,” Nolan said about being selected as one of this year’s honorees.

“Sailors should not follow you because they have to … they should follow you because they were inspired to. I believe a true leader inspires and is inspired by the sailors he or she leads.”

Nolan’s Navy rating of boatswain’s mate, often addressed simply as “Boats,” is one of the oldest ratings in the U.S. Navy and its origins can be traced back

to the 1775 Continental Navy and the Revolutionary War. In addition to his recent nomination, his military service awards have included: the Navy and Marine Corps Achievement Medal (two times), the Armed Forces Reserve Medals “M” - two devices (three times), Navy Battle “E” Ribbons (five times), Global War on Terrorism Medal, Global War on Terrorism Expeditionary Medal, and Navy and Marine Corps Overseas Service Ribbons (three times), among others.

“The sacrifices that Kevin and his family have made for us, while he is serving our country, are greatly appreciated,” Martinez said. “I was honored to be able to make today a special moment for Kevin and his wife, even though they could not be together, giving them the chance to see each other and celebrate this award together.”

For more than a decade, the New York State Senate has proudly honored remarkable veterans from around the state who have distinguished themselves in both their military and civilian life. Service members recognized by the Hall of Fame dedicate their lives to the highest cause.

Their bravery and the courage of their convictions has helped to shape and sustain our country, one of diverse beauty and unwavering strength.

“Kevin’s career as a decorated police officer and as a senior chief boatswain’s mate in the U.S. Navy Reserve epitomizes what service to our nation is all

about,” Steven A. Castleton, Civilian Aide to the Secretary of the Army, New York (South) said in support of Nolan’s achievements. “I am honored to stand here with his family.”

Many of the honorees contribute extensively to their local New York communities. They are not only veterans, but also community organizers, teachers, small business owners, police officers, firefighters, emergency personnel and other firstresponders.

Collectively, public service is said to be their life calling.

In addition to the honorees, family members, friends and supporters are often recognized for their dedicated support, noting their lives intertwine with the lives of our veterans in many ways and their support is equally deserving.

Nolan’s parents, Kevin and Yvonne Nolan, both reside in Holtsville, New York.

East Islip’s Resilient Class Of 2020 Celebrates Gains At Commencement Despite losing the end of their senior year to the pandemic, East Islip High School’s Class of 2020 came together to celebrate their resilience at the school’s 93rd commencement ceremony on June 26.

Graced by sunny skies, the graduation ceremony was successfully split into five socially distanced sessions

at the football stadium, ranging from 9:30 a.m. to 7 p.m.

Principal Mark Bernard began the speeches by recognizing the difficult circumstances leading up to commencement.

“Unexpectedly, we were thrust into a new normal,” he told the assembled seniors. “Your world is

changing and you will be faced with many challenges.

With those challenges come choices, and sometimes those choices are difficult.

My hope is that you will be making choices with compassion and sincerity in the face of adversity.

Class of 2020, please keep accept these challenges and always keep your vision

EAST ISLIP HIGH SCHOOL’S CLASS OF 2020 COMES TOGETHER - Despite losing the end of their senior year to the pandemic, East Islip High School’s Class of 2020 came together to celebrate their resilience at the school’s 93rd commencement ceremony on June 26. Pictured: East Islip High School’s Class of 2020 turning their tassels at commencement. Photo courtesy of East Islip School District

clear, because your future is bright.”

The next address came from salutatorian Justine Rizzo, who said, “I am grateful that despite the fact that the world is in the midst of an unprecedented pandemic, we are able to be here together to share this important milestone in our lives. The important thing is that we all made it here as united as one graduating Class of 2020. We are ready to bring our unique talents and EI Pride to the next stop on our journey.”

“What I took away from everything that has happened recently, and what I hope you do too, is that despite all that we have lost, we have gained so much more,” valedictorian Caroline Meehan noted in her address. “As Eleanor Roosevelt once said, ‘You gain strength, courage and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face.’ I think that we can all agree that this year was far from what we expected.

But we showed strength when everything around us

felt like it was crumbling.

We have lived through this horror, and I wish for all of us to recognize that we are fortunate enough to have made it out the other side, hopefully gaining the confidence that we are stronger than we thought as well as a deeper appreciation for things we may have taken for granted.”

“There were people that told us that this wasn’t going to happen today, but it’s so important to see each other and to realize that there’s nothing in this world that you can’t overcome if you stick together and work together,” Superintendent John Dolan said in his address.

“When you were faced with what is undoubtedly the longest, toughest fight we’ve had to face in my 35 years in public education, you never gave up. You kept going and working. That’s what makes us so proud of you, and that’s what EI Pride is.”

Board of Education President William Carpluk discussed the nature of happiness.

“Longlasting deeper joy and

happiness does not come from our individual accomplishments,” he said.

“This kind of happiness is the sense of fulfillment, that wells up within us, that comes from giving to others our love, our generosity, our compassion. What you will remember about today is not the piece of paper, but the relationship you created by giving of yourself to others.”

Following the presentation of diplomas, Class President Kayla Cappe gave the farewell address and led her classmates in the turning of the tassels.

“Having been a part of this distinguished class for the past 12 years, I know there is no obstacle we cannot overcome,” Cappe told East Islip’s newest alumni. “As we pursue our goals and dreams, using all the talents, skills and knowledge we have acquired throughout these years, I know the world will be a better place.

Congratulations Class of 2020, I know we made history.”
