This is a crucial time for our girls to get out and, not only encourage neighbors, friends and family to purchase cookies to support their sales goals but gain the valuable hands-on entrepreneurial skills they will carry with them for years to come.”

Community members may also purchase cookies from Girl Scouts in Nassau County to be donated to our military heroes. Over the past 13 years, Girl Scouts of Nassau County have shipped almost 700,000 boxes of Girl Scout Cookies® to its servicemen and women in Iraq, Afghanistan, and throughout the world, thanks to their delivery partner, DHL Express.

Anniversary Approaching

Winter Charm By: Alexandra H. Rodrigues

NASSAU ZONE 1 - NEIGHBOR NEWSPAPERS - WEDNESDAY FEBRUARY 22, 2017 • www.southbaysneighbor.com

Many praise the people do sing, Speaking of summer, fall and spring.

Why do we neglect Father Winter’s charm While crackling fires keep us warm?

The Levittown Historical Society hosted a meeting at the museum to discuss the upcoming 70th Anniversary of Levittown.

Dennis Dunne attended along with Todd Winch (Assistant Superintendent for instruction at Levittown School District), Father Ralph (St. Bernard’s Church), Mike Nelson (NCPAL Special Needs Lacross Director), Peter Stasinski (VFW Post 9592), Neil Davis and his mom, Rosemarie Davis (who promised to come visit), Pat Patane and Tom Kohlman from the Community Council, Paul Manton (President-Historical Society), Bob Koenig (Vice President-Historical Society), Cathy Manton (Board member and

Curator of the museum), Elizabeth Manton (Asst to President),JJ Brady, Patrick Conaghan (Board M e m b e r- H i s t o r i c a l Society), and Betty Johnson (Board MemberHistorical Society). Thank you all for attending.

Many things were discussed. Abbey Lane has a video studio and it was suggested that we interview older residents who have memories of living in Levittown. It’s history for the younger generations.

That suggestion was brought up by Todd Winch.

Father Ralph, although always busy, said he will help out in any way he can.

Dennis Dunne suggested having the school bands participate as well as having Little League games and

other competitions with trophies awarded.

Dennis Dunne also spoke on a new exhibit that will, eventually, be in the lobby of Levittown Memorial pertaining to our Veterans.

There will be memorabilia that has been collected from families that have had members in the Armed Forces.

Superintendent Tonie McDonald is on board and in favor. It will be our military project and salute to Levittown Veterans. A follow-up meeting with more specifics and tasks will be undertaken at the Levittown Public Library on February 27th, at 7 p.m.

For more information please contact the society at 516.434.7140 or write levhistoricalsoc@aol.com.

into the Nassau County Conference III playoffs, is led by junior point guard, MaryAnn Bagonis. She averages 13 points per game. Senior Maeve Testa averages 12 points per game and 10 rebounds per game.

“I am proud of the consistent team effort and spirit put forth by these girls on the court each week,” said coach Jim Mulvey.

The squad enters the first round of playoffs on February 16th.

Powdery snowflakes cover most of the trees Often a stillness in nature our senses free!

I like that in winter the days are short More time to meditate that does afford.

In the Mist By: Joan Amato

Buttery lights blur Cast spikes of gold to Scatter across my field of vision Beyond the sea’s horizon Fog creeps in like a hoary ghost Slithers without the rustle of wind Permeates the stagnant air Fills me with odious sea vapors I inhale the staleness of fish in the atmosphere Fueled by the upended trawl Fluke rising too close to the surface of sea Looking for food shimmering silver in the mist Fickle I am like the weather Trying to find my place Stifling warmth surrounds me After cold breezes blast Flaming sun shimmers then Returns to clouds over grey gloom I embrace an elusive muse not found In an ether of misplaced spirits.

to prepare,” said coach Linda Leonardo. “We had less than two months to fundraise for the entire trip and would not have made it there without the help of our parents and sponsors.”

Leonardo explained the squad had a “rough warm up” prior to their February 11th competition held at the ESPN World Wide of Sports Complex in the Pavilion.

“However, once they hit the mat their focus changed and they performed that routine like I had never seen before,” she added. “They had a perfect hit. No deductions.

This was something we were hoping for when we got to nationals.”

The team finished in 12th place and looks forward to heading back next year.

Signs of Spring And just like that, the snow has melted and signs of spring have begun to sprout here and there, signaling the end of hibernation and the beginning of so many wonderful things in this second season of the year. Of course, we are not completely out of the frozen woods yet; but it certainly is nice to feel the warmth of the sun in the month of February nonetheless.

Last year, March brought with it a robin’s nest, complete with four perfect blue eggs, to my grandparents’ house.

I often wonder if one of the babies will return this spring to lay its own batch of eggs and continue the line of fuzzy birds born in that backyard.

So many wonderful memories took place in that very spot… how fitting that new life

should be born there as well.

I recently picked up a bunch of tulips and roses while shopping, deciding that the post-holiday season barrenness of my apartment could use a little splash of color to liven things up.

It’s amazing what a bowl of flowers can do to improve the atmosphere of a room… how I do love to snip and arrange fresh blooms in vases on occasion. It’s times like these that I wish I had a real garden of my own to tend; but alas, decks are really only conducive to the standard potted plant.

I am certainly looking forward to heading out this spring and exploring the beaches and parks of Long Island as they come back to life. Aside from the exercise these random, meandering strolls encourage, they

also give me the alwayswelcome opportunity to continue to explore my love of photography. It doesn’t matter how many times I have visited a particular place; there is always a new angle to be found, another pretty sight to document.

In about a month’s time, my hope is to have my new website up and ready to launch, featuring some of these scenic snapshots from the last several years, perhaps with some prints and calendars available for purchase. In the interim, I have created a public Instagram account, so please feel free to “follow” me @jlynnspj, take a look around and stay tuned for the official launch of my site, www.

The Students Against Destructive Decisions Club at Grand Avenue Middle School in the BellmoreMerrick Central High School District has been focused on making positive impacts and contributions to their community.

“We look at positive ways to promote citizenship and be positive student leaders who do not have to rely on drugs and alcohol to feel good or to be accepted,” said teacher and club adviser Pia Santadonato.

During their Mugs of Love project, the club collected more than 200 gently used mugs to donate to the Interfaith Nutrition

Network’s Freeport site in mid-February. They packaged up the mugs with various pantry food items.

The INN feeds approximately 100 people each day and is completely run by volunteers.

With their Wrapped in Love project, students delivered nearly 40 handmade baby blankets to the neonatal unit at Winthrop-University Hospital.

“These blankets will be used to keep the babies warm and the babies will be able to take the blanket home with them when they are released from the hospital,” Santadonato

explained.

Their recent Candy Gram project, spearheaded by eighth-grader Jordyn Krinsky, will benefit the Free to Breathe group to raise money for lung cancer research.

“My grandmother was diagnosed with lung cancer last year and I wanted to fundraise for research,” she said. “The organization is working to double the current survivor rate.”

With these projects and others, Santadonato said she hopes the students enjoy the feeling that comes along with doing something positive in the world.

Cayla Conley, a senior at John F. Kennedy High School in the BellmoreMerrick Central High School District, recently shattered a school record during the track and field conference championship.

Conley, clearing 7 feet, 6-inches in the pole vault, was an entire foot higher than the previous record.

“I’ve always had a love for running,” she said. “It allows me to express any emotion that I’m feeling at the time.”

Head coach Chris Mammome, assistant coach/jumps coach Cici Hirsch and her teammates are extremely proud of Conley’s record as well as the team’s achievements.

“She scored almost all of the points for the girls team at the conference championships,” Mammone explained.

“The coaches are very motivating, even when you are having a rough day,” Conley added. “They taught us that it doesn’t

determine how the rest of your performances will go.”

Conley said she was hesitant trying pole vaulting four years ago, but pushed herself to do so.

“I carried over track from middle school into the high school setting but wanted to set new goals for myself,” she added.

Conley also earned fourth best school records in long jump and triple jump.

Third-graders in Jessica Pirozzi’s class at Saw Mill Road Elementary School in the North Bellmore School District have taken writing to the next level.

The students recently published their own narrative stories after learning about author and illustrator Patricia Polacco, who has written more than

140 books. Each child created a picture book based on an experience that has happened in his or her life. After completing a rough draft, students then edited and revised their stories. They made sure to include narrative elements such as dialogue.

Students drew a picture and glued a sentence

Record Height

strip on each page. They also created their own covers and title pages.

The finished products were showcased during a classwide publishing celebration.

Ms. Pirozzi said that she came up with the idea for picture books to expand upon the North Bellmore new Writer’s Workshop initiative through Schoolwide Units of Study.

Students are learning to become independent writers by choosing topics that interest them while using mentor texts, such as Polacco’s stories, to serve as examples of good writing.

“I love the district’s new approach to teaching writing,” Ms. Pirozzi said, “because it lets the students be creative and use their own ideas.”

Love of Sports Seventh- and eighthgraders at Woodland Middle School in the East Meadow School District put their love for sports into practice as they raised money for Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center and St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. The school’s athletic department hosted two fundraisers to benefit

the causes - a powder puff football game and a volleyball tournament.

Assistant Principals Patricia Graham and Christine Egan led two teams of students for the football game.

Students, teachers and administrators paid $2 to watch the game on the school’s football field,

raising a total of $780 for Memorial Sloan Kettering.

On January 3rd, the girls volleyball team held a round-robin tournament, where teams played each other for five minutes in elimination rounds until two final teams were set to play. The tournament raised $200 for St. Jude.

More than Baskets W.T. Clarke Middle School students in the East Meadow School District raised more than $800 for the American Heart Association by participating in the schoolwide Hoops for Heart program from January 23rd to 27th.

According to its website, the American Heart Association is the nation’s oldest and largest

voluntary organization dedicated to fighting heart disease and stroke.

To assist in the battle, schools can host Jump Rope for Heart or Hoops for Heart fundraisers that promote physical activity, heart healthy living and community service.

During their gym classes, students rotated among stations to enhance

their basketball skills by practicing ball control and making jump shots and layups. Afterward, the classes participated in a knockout tournament, eliminating each other by scoring baskets before their opponent until two finalists were left to face off in a championship matchup.

Bowling Green Elementary School students in the East Meadow School District expressed their gratitude and appreciation for U.S. troops by creating more than 700 Valentine’s Day

cards for veterans.

The young students inscribed their cards with meaningful messages and decorated them with illustrations, stickers, paper cutouts and more. Impressed by the

vast amount of these thoughtful cards, Nassau County Executive Edward Mangano offered to send them to hospitalized veterans as part of the “Valentines for Veterans” program.

Shadow Day While Holtville Hal was looking for his shadow on Groundhog Day, Wantagh High School students shadowed the district’s elementary school teachers and principals during Groundhog Shadow Day. Under the direction of work study coordinator

Christine Compagnino, students interested in pursuing a career in education were placed with elementary school teachers and principals at Forest Lake, Mandalay and Wantagh elementary schools to receive a better understanding of what is

While the pizza was

cooking, we were able to ask Chef Sal questions about cooking, and his experiences.”

Superintendent of Schools Dr. Joseph Famularo thanked each of the recipients for their dedication to the students.

“It is about the children of the community,” he said.

“Tonight we celebrate the adults who have dedicated

invaluable time in our community of learners.”

After each of the recipients was called up to the podium, family members filed onto the stage with flowers and hugs. The evening was also punctuated with performances by the Reinhard Rising Star Chorus, the Winthrop Avenue CharACTer Drama Club, Shore Road Chorale and members of the Ukulele Club. To top off the evening, Dr. Famularo and the Belltones entertained all who attended this cherished Bellmore tradition.

The Bellmore Elementary PTA congratulates the following life membership recipients: Phinola Baeza (Shore Road sixth-grade teacher),

Eighth-grade students in Richard Zawislak’s French class at Grand Avenue Middle School in the Bellmore-Merrick Central School District celebrated Chandeleur Day. Betsy Siegelaub, a retired Bellmore-Merrick French teacher, visited Mr. Zawislak’s class to teach them all about the holiday.

Similar to Groundhog Day, Chandeleur Day (La Chandeleur) is also on February 2nd and has traditions associated with

the change of weather.

Students learned about the history and importance of the day, listened to music and played games to celebrate the day.

But the “piece de resistance” was the making of the crepes, which is treat eaten on the holiday.

Students filled their crepes with various jams, Nutella and whipped cream and enjoyed chatting with Mrs. Siegelaub.

To end the day, the students tried their hand

at flipping the crepes to see how the rest of the winter season will fair.

“Quand la Chandeleur est claire, l’hiver est par derrière; Chandeleur couverte, quarante jours de perte!” (If Chandeleur is clear, no more winter to fear; If Chandeleur is gray, 40 more days winter will stay.)

According to the Chandeleur Day celebrations at Grand Avenue, it looks like spring will come late this year.

Reading Inspiration Children and their families came together to celebrate literacy during an evening program on February 7th at Martin Avenue School in the North Bellmore School District.

The first Camp Read A Lot, organized by the school’s Shared Decision Making Team, was a success with more than 140 “campers” attending. Teachers and parents worked together to plan activities.

The special guest was a 16-year-old published author, Yasmine Hamdi, who wrote “Spirit of the Wind.” She discussed

the writing process, held a question and answer session and signed copies of her book.

“It was really cool to have the professional author there,” said fifth-grader Lara Ismailescu. “She was only a few years older than us so it was inspiring to see that she is a real author at 16.”

There was a read aloud which featured new books such as “Finding Winnie” and “The Day the Crayons Quit,” as well as classic stories like “The Giving Tree.” Breakout sessions included literacy games, a

primary reader room and video book chats. A popular event was Book Buddies, in which the sixth-graders read to younger students.

“Camp Read A Lot was such a rewarding event to be a part of, and I am immensely proud of the work that was put into making the evening such a resounding success,” said Principal Leyna Malone.

“This event is what Shared Decision Making is all about - teachers, administrators and parents working together to make Martin Avenue a great place to be.”

Following, students had the opportunity to participate in three interactive workshops. In the first, they practiced martial arts and selfdefense techniques with Sensei Devin Fernandez from Third Eye Insight in West Islip. With the help of volunteers, participants learned defensive moves using their knees, fists and elbows.

The students transitioned to the classroom for the second workshop, where they displayed their proficiency in reading, writing and comprehending in Braille. They also created Valentines using cookie cutters, metallic paper and stickers.

During the third activity, students met and played with members of the Long Island Bombers Beep Baseball team, a group of players who demonstrate their version of baseball by using beeping baseballs and bases. The young

students ran the bases and located the baseball from the sound of its buzzing.

At the closing ceremony, the students received Braille Institute medallions, certificates of recognition and goody bags for participating in this year’s 10th annual Braille Challenge.

Participants and their families also attended a brunch graciously provided by the East Meadow Special Education PTA. Among the participants in the Braille Challenge were Meadowbrook Elementary School second-grader Kayla Ochtera, Bowling Green Elementary School thirdgrader Matthew Palmeri and Woodland Middle School seventh-grader Robbie Stahl.

Helping through Health

A trip to a remote Tanzanian village where his parents grew up when he was 10 years old propelled Sanford H. Calhoun senior Hadi Aziz into becoming a social activist.

“They were lacking the medical necessity found in basic first aid kits and it was then that I knew I wanted to help these people,” said the Calhoun Advanced Science Research student.

Determined to make a difference, he approached the school’s senior experience Fashion Show board last year with his presentation. The board annually selects a philanthropic organization to donate their proceeds.

His proposed organization, Safe Motherhood Project, which aims to improve

maternal health status, was selected and received $10,000 that was raised from the Fashion Show.

Earlier this year, he was able to visit Kibaha, Tanzania where he saw first-hand how the funds were used - a newly created consultation room and pre/post-natal care clinic at Medewell Health Center.

During his brief visit, a mother had given birth and he said he “was so grateful to see the happiness” on her face. Aziz speaks the region’s native Swahili and was able to learn more about their former available healthcare.

“This clinic now offers prenatal and postnatal care to this impoverished part of the country,” he said.

“It’s amazing that we can

see how much we impacted a community 3,000 miles away from Calhoun,” he added. “We essentially brought this level of care to the community that was previously unavailable.”

The trip, which was self-funded, was further evidence that Aziz wishes to pursue a career in the medical field one day and travel the world to help those in these types of communities.

This year, Aziz hopes to be selected again as the Fashion Show’s beneficiary. This time his proposed organization will be the Medewell Eye Clinic, which provides on site consultation eye care and cataract surgeries in East African communities.

“Going to an optometrist is considered a luxury here and many suffer from blindness conditions that are treatable,” Aziz explained. “To be able to give these people the gift of sight would be the best gift I could give.”

Three students in the Bellmore-Merrick Central High School District have been named finalists in the 62nd annual National Merit Scholarship Program.

Alaina Anderson of Sanford H. Calhoun High School, Maximilian Bazil of John F. Kennedy High School and Rachel Jozwick of Wellington C. Mepham High School all received this distinction.

“We are proud of the

exemplary students who received this prestigious honor,” said Superintendent John DeTommaso. “In addition to being strong in academics, they have each contributed greatly to their school community.”

The National Merit Scholarship Program is an academic competition for recognition and scholarships.

High school students enter the

National Merit Program by taking the Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test. Approximately 15,000 students or about one-third of the 50,000 high scorers qualified as finalists. From here, approximately 7,500 students will be notified of various monetary, corporate-sponsored or college-sponsored awards.

system and recirculated as much as seven times a day. Over time, this leads to built-up contaminants in the ductwork. Since your heating and cooling system is the lungs of your home, you want to keep it clear.

School Swap “I’m looking forward to learning more about their culture but also their food because it’s so much different than ours,” said Jack Roberts.

Melissa Schmidt said she has been following Snapchat where the Pascagoula students have been sending videos of traditional Mississippi fare for them to sample on their trip.

Accompanied by Leadership Class teacher Brian Joyce and Assistant Principal Ken Zisel, the students will attend a family-oriented Mardi Gras celebration hosted by the town. They are also being welcomed with a barbecue celebration that is expected to be attended by the school superintendent, mayor and other local dignitaries.

Zisel orchestrated the trip and told students during a planning meeting

that they should be proud they were chosen and he hopes they “get everything they want out of an experience like this.”

Callie Ganca explained how they plan to create a video diary during their trip to chronicle their experiences and show their fellow classmates.

In April, their Pascagoula counterparts will visit Merrick, spending a day at Calhoun High School as well. The trip was partially funded by students’ fundraising but the remainder is being financed individually.

“We’ve already been talking to them about what they want to do when they are here and most of them have never been to New York City, so that seems to be on the top of the list,” added Roberts.

Over 100 Nassau BOCES Barry Tech students from the school’s Healthcare Classes came together recently for an anticyberbully workshop.

Cyberbullying remains a hot topic since recent reports claim that 43% of teenagers have been bullied online over the past year.

These statistics prompted students and staff to view the movie, Cyberbully, and reflect on how the issue effects them in their everyday digital lives. Students referred to a specially created Movie Viewing Guide as they watched the video, which was followed by a discussion led by the school’s social worker, Nancy Tuck. The students were given a list of resources and information was distributed about cyber bullying, its effects on others and what to do if you are a victim.

“The film sparked conversation among our SCHOOL SWAP - Students in the Leadership Class discussed their upcoming trip to students,” said Barry Tech Mississippi with teacher Brian Joyce and Assistant Principal Ken Zisel. Photo courtesy Assistant Principal Dr. William Poll. “Students of: Bellmore-Merrick Central High School District

talked about ways to handle cyberbullying situations, while our Social Worker provided resources and strategies for this challenge that students face every day.”

Barry Tech Physical Therapy Aide teacher Dr. Michelle Fattore was instrumental in bringing the program to the school.

“I think it’s important to remind students of their responsibility when they post anything on the internet,” said Dr. Fattore.

“They need to know the ramifications of posting negative comments, as well as the resources available to them if they become a victim of cyberbullying.”

Dr. Poll opened the session by reminding the students that, “Barry Tech is a bully-free zone and the healthcare classes are passionate about stomping out bullying.”

The workshop launched a school-wide campaign.

Students left their colorful hand prints on banners to be displayed around the school stating their commitment to keeping

Barry Tech a bully-free zone.

“Barry Tech is a safe environment where I feel safe and I can express myself,” said Barry Tech Physical Therapy Aide and Rehabilitation Medicine student Veronica Scruggs from the Bethpage UFSD. Fellow Barry Tech Physical Therapy Aide and Rehabilitation Medicine students agree: “Barry Tech is a bully-free zone, because you meet people you have never met before.

This allows you to have a fresh start and create a new community for yourself,” said Samantha Zizzo, Bethpage UFSD. Anisha Sander, a Freeport UFSD student sums it up, “Without love, there is no family in Barry Tech. But with love, Barry Tech is my safe haven.”
