Apparently, according to some, I write about “nothing” week after week. This sentiment, in the form of a threepage letter from a reader, arrived on my desk this morning and, rather than let it go and write what was intended to be a positive article, I have decided to address it.

First off, writers – or at least the good ones – write for their audiences. First rule of Journalism. If you work for a hard-hitting investigative daily newspaper, well then, the content you produce should have a similar feel. If you write for a fluff-filled monthly magazine, likewise, you would be advised to adjust your tone accordingly.

Here, where our audience is

made up of Long Island community members interested in reading about the local happenings at their schools and libraries, upcoming meetings and events, and the recent achievements of their friends and neighbors… well that’s a very specific, unique demographic now, isn’t it?

It would be virtually impossible to cater to each and every person out there and their individual expectations; and yes, sometimes my columns may be about “nothing” in particular – just a human interest, weekly feature, usually drawn from personal experiences, that hopefully strikes a chord with the general population. To criticize that concept as a whole is to be severely misinformed about what this newspaper is, what type of content we pro-

mote and what the majority of our audience appreciates.

That said, I hope that this particular reader – who, for all her bitter hatred of this column, apparently still feels the need to read it each and every week – now understands the medium, and the intended message, at least a little better.

Sometimes, “nothing” is just as good as something… I believe there was a fairly successful TV show which was modeled on precisely this concept at one point.

Just because something doesn’t interest you does not make it uninteresting. And if you don’t even take the time to explore those things which are outside of your accepted norm, well then, I suppose you’ll never know what you might be missing out on.

ATTENTION!!

Merrick Chorale

“Visits” ing door knocks, which led to spur-of-the-moment nature hikes and abductions to breakfast venues. The morning I moved away, June sent me off with a plate of delicate Finnish pancakes.

I promised ongoing visits, and returned to their home for dinners, talks and bear hugs in their yellow-tiled foyer, year after year after year, for ten sweet years.

Now, June and Ralph, the birds (and there’ve been generations of them), are regulars in my yard. Morning and evening, these crimson puppeteers use radar, charm and invisible marionette strings to pull me from the walnuts on my countertop to the back porch railing.

They “chip chip chip” outside my bedroom window at dawn, flutter near the kitchen window while I

make coffee, and, when my car zips into the driveway, fly over the rooftop to wait out back for their nuts.

The original Ralph snatched his walnut from the railing while June hid in a nearby branch, awaiting his return from market.

Sometimes he’d snack on the steps before flying back to feed June, beak to beak.

But once, and only once, in January 2006, the original June appeared calmly, right next to Ralph, on the steps. That was the afternoon I returned from the veterinarian after having to put my fifteen year-old cat to sleep. When I leaned against the back door window to gaze into the yard, there they were, en pair, like a protective hug.

Back in 1974, at the conclusion of sixth grade, the class parents collected money

for a present for Ralph and June. Knowing full well that these super-teachers would use a gift certificate to enrich their classrooms instead of themselves, the moms decided to give them something concrete, to keep. They chose a statue of a nature scene, its wooden base inscribed: “To the Laakkonens, for total dedication, from your outdoor learning classes, 1973 - 1974.”

Ralph and June did keep that statue, front and center, in the bay window of their house. After they died, I passed by one day when the house was being shown to buyers. The real estate agent allowed me to step into the yellow-tiled foyer and walk through the house one last time. It was empty, except for a few items awaiting cleanup by their grown children.

Still there: the statue.

Realizing it had no specif-

ic meaning to their kids, I called, asked, and was graciously given, after all those years, a gift I’d seen presented to beloved teachers when I was only just eleven.

It’s in my home, now, in a place of honor. A statue of a nature scene: a mother cardinal, feeding her babies, taking care of the young.

The same thing that’s happening in my yard, year after year after year.

By now, the original Ralph and June cardinals have passed on. Their children, today’s Ralphs and Junes, have become progressively more comfortable with the back door/railing arrangement. Even the females.

A few days ago, a new June fluttered midair, near the center panel of the nine-paned door, just twelve inches from me. While I opened up to place a walnut on one rail,

she watched from the other, and grabbed the nut before I’d even closed the door.

I, like you, have suffered many losses. But I know (I do) that we really don’t leave each other. I believe that here, in life, we’re all out walking, on a great nature hike. The people who’ve died have “gone on ahead,” just a little further along up the trail.

Of course, we’ll all get the chance, when the time is right, to “catch up.” While we’re here, though, our job (our joy) is to be who we really are, and to do what we really came to do. Like Ralph and June.

And, on any good nature trail, while the people must travel it step after step, the birds are free to fly back and forth.

And back again, for visits in time.

After my friends Ralph and June died within months of each other in 2003, a pair of cardinals appeared in my yard. Since they’d adored cardinals, and each Christmas sent cards depicting snowscapes lit by two tiny red birds, I named the rubyfeathered couple after them.

Thereafter, the birds claimed a table at the finest outdoor restaurant in suburbia, and to this day, order the daily special: organic walnuts from Trader Joe’s.

The human, June, first appeared in my life in 1973, as my sixth grade teacher, and two decades later, in 1994, as my cherished friend, when the Universe became a real estate broker, and placed me in an apartment right next door to her house.

For eight months, I luxuriated in June and her husband Ralph’s Sunday-morn-

Mental Illness Awareness Day An unparalleled Queens high school legacy, an Olympic Gold medal, three NCAA Championships, and a highly successful professional basketball career could not mask the private demons, bouts of depression, and Chamique Holdsclaw’s eventual suicide attempt.

Fortunately, it was that ultimate, terrible low point in her life that empowered her to help others find the strength and courage to face the ugly stigma of mental illness.

Ms. Holdsclaw will discuss her experiences with serious depression, which she shared in her recent book, Breaking Through: Beating The Odds Shot After Shot, when she serves as Keynote Speaker at the 20th Annual Mental

Illness Awareness Day on Thursday, October 4th at the Huntington Hilton in Melville.

This year’s event is hosted by three collaborating agencies Clubhouse of Suffolk, Suffolk County United Veterans, and the Mental Health Association in Suffolk.

In addition to Ms. Holdsclaw’s appearance, the Day will be a venue for a Long Island Health/Mental Health Town Meeting where leaders of the Island’s leading health entities will address the challenge of “Building Healthy Communities” through the new structures of New York State and National health reforms.

The Town Meeting will be facilitated by Gwen O’Shea, CEO of the Health & Welfare Council

of Long Island and will be led off by remarks from Dennis Romero, Regional Director of the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA).

The Day will also include workshops on cutting edge topics including The Brain: The Final Frontier for Scientific Research featuring work being done at Brookhaven National Labs, Post Combat Stress: Perspectives From A War Veteran And A Clinician, Mental Health First Aid and Achieving Happy Relationships While In Recovery. In addition, the Day includes a Behavioral Health Trade Show and an art exhibit featuring the works of local artists in recovery.

Murray will also pay tribute to the late Arnie Levey, an avid car collector, a car racing champion and one of the founders of the town’s car show. One of his classic cars will be on display in his honor.

“Arnie Levey always said that some of his best days were spent at the car show down at Town Park Point Lookout, interacting with fellow car collectors whom he considered his good friends,” said Murray. “Arnie is greatly missed by everyone in the town family, and we will surely be thinking of him at this year’s event.”

The town thanks Merrick Collision & Towing and Merrick Dodge, Jeep, Chrysler and Ram of Wantagh for sponsoring this year’s car show.

In addition to the stunning selection of unique cars, a special group of premier exhibitors will showcase unique vehicles. The Autoseum in Mineola will

107 Years Young

Long Island senior Gene Scala, affectionately known as “Gene the Bowling Machine” among friends, has given the “energizer bunny” a run for his money once again, celebrating his 107th birthday where he continues to live his “fountain of youth” at The Arbors Assisted Living Community at Westbury.

Celebrating Scala’s colorful life, of which he spent the majority living in East Islip and working as a beautician, musician BUILDING FOR THE FUTURE - Out with the old and in with the new…equipment and tailor, The Arbors at is gone and the walls are down between Fitness 1 and the racquetball courts, making Westbury’s residents and room for a larger and brand new fitness center at the Mid-Island Y JCC. For updates staff hosted a special and week-by-week construction photos, visit www.miyjcc.org. birthday event in Scala’s

honor.

Much like Scala’s handmade beaded hats and ties that are sported by the young-at-heart Arbors’ residents, the festivities were rolled out in true style, featuring live music, entertainment, and drawing more than 100 of Scala’s friends and extended family from across the country.

“Gene is a remarkable, larger than life individual with amazing agility and a youthful spirit,” says Elsa Nelmes, Recreation Director at The Arbors at Westbury. “Each year, we look forward to organizing this grand celebration and

everyone appreciates all that Gene has achieved and continues to accomplish in his life. He’s an inspiration to us all.”

Long before most people on Long Island were alive, Scala was born in Naples, Italy, in 1905.

He came to America when he turned 14, where he worked as a barber and tailor in Brooklyn. A seasoned musician for 70 years, Scala played in several bands and performed in a symphony orchestra. He still plays the saxophone today, and can be found every Wednesday showing off his bowling skills at the local bowling alley.

Gene has the recognized distinction as the second oldest active bowling member in the United States and most recently graced Astoria Federal Bank’s 2012 Calendar as Mr. February.

Scala is representative of only a few Long Island centenarians who have reached 107 years of age.

The sole survivor among his five brothers and two sisters, Gene has been married three times and has had three children as well as one grandchild, all of whom he has outlived.

from Hicksville, Sound Beach, Brentwood and Carle Place, among others, were in attendance. There was a game that pitted VP’s and executives from Estée Lauder against a team of assemblers. Another squad was made up of employees of the company’s plant in Pennsylvania, who rented a bus and left at 5 a.m. to be on Long Island for the event.

“At the end of the day, we had a lot of fun and accomplished our goal of raising money and awareness for breast cancer research,” Carlos added. “As employees of Estée Lauder Companies, we are very committed to Mrs. Evelyn Lauder’s vision to find a cure for breast cancer. It was great to see the parents, coaches and players embrace that as well. We have formed a great relationship with the LIJSL, the Soccer Park staff and the referees, and we hope to do even more together in the future.”

This is the eighth year that the friendly games have taken place at the Peter Collins Soccer Park, which is donated by the LIJSL for the event. It is the first year that youth teams have taken part, and there are future plans

being discussed for a women’s division and a clinic for younger players.

The $1,700 raised on August 19th adds to the more than $8.5 million that the Estée Lauder Company has raised for the Breast Cancer Research Foundation and fundraising efforts will continue right through October, which is Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

Statistics have shown that one out of nine Long Island women will be diagnosed with breast cancer during their lifetime.

LIJSL players, coaches and families also contributed to the Peter Collins Soccer Park Food Drive during the Spring Season and the league was able to donate 811 pounds of food to Long Island Cares.

“On behalf of all of the children and families served by Long Island Cares, Elana Sissons, Food Drive Coordinator, and I are truly grateful to the LIJSL for your support,” said Paule Pachter, Executive Director of Long Island Cares. “This donation will go a long way towards ensuring that more Long Island children and families do not go hungry.”

the best Huntington has to offer – from its civicminded businesses, cultural institutions and service organizations, to its restaurants, local businesses and retailers,” said Larry Kushnick, Festival Chairman. “We are really looking forward to this year’s festivities and the celebration of the festival’s 19th year. We have added some unique, exciting events and attractions that are sure to entertain everyone. This is one event you won't want to miss.”

The festivities begin early on Friday, October 5th, and continue until 10 p.m. that evening. The festival continues on Saturday, October 6th and Sunday, October 7th from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m (carnival, music and park food court will remain open until 10pm each night) and Monday, October 8th from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. (carnival, in-park vendors and food court only).

Admission to the Long Island Fall Festival is FREE. There are plenty of ways to get here - whether you travel by car, by bus or by train.

If you are driving, there is FREE

parking at the Huntington Train Station with shuttle service to and from the festival on Saturday and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. The shuttle will include a stop in Huntington Village this year so that everyone can take advantage of the great shops and restaurants in Huntington’s vibrant downtown with many places offering special discounts. The fee for a round-trip shuttle ride is $1.

NASSAU ZONE 1 - NEIGHBOR NEWSPAPERS- WEDNESDAY SEPTEMBER 5, 2012

With over 1,500 travel teams in Suffolk, Nassau and Queens, the Long Island Junior Soccer League (LIJSL) is the largest league in the Eastern New York Youth Soccer Association (ENYYSA). The LIJSL recently gave back to the local community by hosting fundraisers at the Peter Collins Soccer Park in Plainview for the Breast Cancer Research Foundation and Long Island Cares.

On Sunday, August 19th, a dozen teams of Estée Lauder employees and executives, and local Under-14 and Under-15 girls teams from the Long Island Junior Soccer League, took part in a series of friendlies to support the fight against breast cancer.

“The focus today is on fun and on creating breast cancer awareness,” said Carlos Ospina, an Estée employee and organizer of the event. “The assistance we get from the LIJSL, the park staff who do a great job for us, and the referees who volunteer their time, is just extraordinary.”

The Lynbrook/East Rockaway Stingrays, who are coached by Carlos, the East Meadow Stingrays and other LIJSL teams

Generous Donation

SENDING KIDS TO CAMP - This summer, King Kullen Grocery Company, with generous donations made by its customers, contributed $6,000 to support Family Service League’s camp program. Over 250 children were able to experience day or sleep-away camps, enjoying a range of outdoor activities including music and art programs, nature classes, and more. King Kullen District Manager Frank Villardi recently stopped by the Girl Scouts of Suffolk County’s co-ed Camp Sobaco in Yaphank to see how the campers were enjoying the pool on a hot summer day. A definite thumbs up!

Employment Eligibility ((NAPSI)—If you’re hunting for a job, you’ll want to use every tool you can to ensure that everything is in order.

Here’s How Self Check is a free, Internet-based service that can be used by anyone in the U.S. over the age of 16 to confirm his or her employment eligibility.

Self Check is now available nationwide in both English and Spanish.

It gives workers access to confirm the same records that employers check in E-Verify.

If a mismatch occurs with your employment eligibility records, it tells you how to resolve that issue before you meet your next employer.

Self Check is part of EVerify, a Department of Homeland Security program. E-Verify is used by many employers to

verify the employment eligibility of new employees. With Self Check, workers can check their own employment eligibility.

participate in this event, according to Dr. Kenneth Saunders, Officer in Charge. “We are honored to partner with Special Olympics New York in this important fundraising event,” he said. “Special Olympics provides vital and empowering services to the special athletes in our area.”

Participants in Over The Edge need not have prior experience in order to rappel. They’ll start out about an hour before their scheduled rappel in a staging room where all their equipment will be laid out: harnesses, helmets and gloves. Then they’ll continue on to a practice round, probably about three stories high, before the big event.

Each of the rappellers will have raised at least $1,000 in donations.

Diane Colonna, Regional Director of Special

Olympics New York, Inc., Long Island Region, noted that all of the proceeds from the event will go to Long Island’s local Special Olympics organization, which aids over 4,200 athletes from Nassau and Suffolk counties. “We are thrilled to be partnering with NCC on this event. We are hopeful that at least 100 people will rappel down the Tower, raise much needed funds for our program, and experience the opportunity of a lifetime,” she said.

Anyone interested in participating in the NCC/Special Olympics Over the Edge event on October 12th should contact Special Olympics New York, Inc., Long Island Region, at 631.254.1465 extension 11, or sony.kintera.org/LIOTE.

Common Car Seat Mistakes Parents Should Avoid (NAPSI)—Parents of young children need to be better educated in order to avoid making potentially dangerous safety mistakes when they are on the go.

The Problem Automobile crashes remain a leading cause of death for children and it’s important that parents consistently and correctly use the appropriate car seat to keep their child passengers safe. Many parents may be unknowingly endangering their children as three out of four car seats are not used correctly, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

Some Answers Busy parents and caregivers may be tempted by safety shortcuts when transporting children. AAA offers simple reminders to protect parents’ most precious cargo.

Shortcut: “I’m only

driving a mile from home, so my son doesn’t need to be secured in his car seat since it’s a short trip.”

Reminder: You should buckle up properly on every trip—no matter the distance—especially since most crashes occur close to home.

Shortcut: “I’m picking up several kids after soccer practice and I’m going to put my 8-year-old daughter in the front seat so all the children can fit into the car.”

Reminder: All children under age 13 are safest when riding in the backseat and properly restrained in a car seat, booster seat or seat belt.

Shortcut: “We will be driving more people in our car than we have seat belts. Since it’s a short trip, it’s not a big deal for someone to ride on another person’s lap.”

Reminder: It’s never safe to ride on another person’s

lap.

Each passenger should be properly restrained on every trip.

Shortcut: “My son is 10 years old and 4’6” tall. He’s big enough to use a seat belt now.”

Reminder: The American Academy of Pediatrics now recommends children continue to use beltpositioning booster seats until they are 4’9” and the seat belt fits properly.

Help For Parents Fortunately, AAA experts are available to help parents with car seat installation. Visit an AAA club, go to www.seatcheck.org or call (866) SEATCHECK [(866) 732-8243].

In recognition of National Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month, which aims to increase the community’s understanding of the grief associated with the loss of an unborn or newborn child, WinthropUniversity Hospital’s Perinatal Bereavement Team will host the 9th Annual Walk To Remember on Saturday, October 6th, at 9 a.m. at Field 5 of Eisenhower Park in East Meadow.

This annual memorial event, the only walk of its kind on Long Island, enables parents, relatives and friends who have lost a child due to pregnancy complications, stillbirth, early infant loss or fetal

It’s not often – or in fact, ever – that you’ll have seen people rappel down the side of the Tower Building on the campus of Nassau Community College. But those who come to the NCC-hosted “Over The Edge” event on Friday, October 12th, will see just that, all in aid of raising money for Special Olympics.

On that day, a wide variety of participants, including thrill-seekers, avid rappellers, firsttimers and people who just want to help raise money for a worthy cause will find their way 13 stories down the side of the Tower with the help of professionals from Over the Edge. Over the Edge runs all day, and anyone is welcome to stay, but each rappel will take about an hour and a half.

NCC is very proud to
