High School Sophomores Earn Undefeated Victory At Justice Institute

East Islip High School

sophomores Delaney Demasi, Ava Michele and Olivia Stepanenko recently showcased their legal talents in “The EDNY Justice Institute: Crime, the Constitution and the Courts.” This program, hosted by the Eastern District of New York Chapter of the Federal Bar Association at the federal courthouse in Central Islip and Touro Law Center, provided a

valuable opportunity for hands-on learning. The educational endeavor, part of the “Justice for All: Courts and the Community initiative, aims to connect legal education with the community.

During the program, students were provided with a unique opportunity to delve into the intricacies of the justice system. They attended classes conducted by a distinguished array of professionals, including

FBI agents, deputy U.S. marshals, a U.S. Secret Service agent, federal prosecutors and criminal defense lawyers. These sessions offered insights into the roles and responsibilities of each participant within the court system, enriching the students’ understanding of legal proceedings.

Guided by seasoned lawyers and Touro Law student Vanessa Constantino, the

sophomores were tasked with preparing a mock trial case. This practical experience allowed them to develop critical skills in legal argumentation and communication. Their efforts culminated in an impressive victory as they achieved an undefeated record in a mock trial tournament against teams from across Long Island. Their triumph in the intense final round against Massapequa,

NEIGHBOR NEWSPAPERS SERVICE DIRECTORY

presided over by judges Joseph Bianco and Joanna Seybert, showcased their exceptional prowess and dedication to the art of mock trial advocacy.

“The EDNY Justice Institute was an unforgettable journey, and we’re truly grateful to Judge Bianco and the organizers for giving us this opportunity,” the East Islip students said.

“Winning the tournament felt great and shows how

much we learned. We feel really confident to compete in the New York State tournament this year.”

Long Island Harley Owners Group Recognized For Their Service To The Community

Legislator Steven J. Flotteron honored Director Pat O’Hara and Road Captain Joe Beige with The Long Island Harley Owners Group (LI HOG) Chapter # 3182 for all they have done for surrounding communities over the past 38 years at their Annual Picnic at Overlook Beach in Babylon. LI HOG was formed in October, 1985 and is an owners group authorized by Harley Davidson and sponsored by local dealer, Eastern Harley Davidson. LI HOG ran its first toy run for the benefit of the Little Flower Children Residence is Wading River on December 21, 1985. Since that first toy run they have organized and run this toy drive annually. It is believed to be the oldest and longest continuously run toy drive on Long Island.

In addition, for the past 15 years the members of LI HOG have raised money and made donations to purchase items for the residents of the Long Island State Veterans Home in Stony Brook, supplementing benefits not available through the Northport Veterans Association. Items such as socks, batteries, electric shavers, calling cards and movie passes are collected for Veterans in need. Each year, with a motorcycle escort, on the Sunday before Veterans Day the LI HOG delivers van loads of these items to the residents.
