Steps to Choosing the Right Pre-school Kindergarten used to mark a child’s first foray into formal education, but pre-school has now taken up that mantle for many students.

NASSAU ZONE 1 - NEIGHBOR NEWSPAPERS - WEDNESDAY AUGUST 24, 2016 • www.southbaysneighbor.com

Some parents may recall their own pre-school experiences, mostly remembering extended moments of play and more monitored fun inside the school. But as the world of education has become more competitive, and students are required to meet certain standards at even earlier grade levels than before, pre-school has undergone its own transformation.

Academic pre-schools have become a popular choice for parents hoping their children can gain that extra edge. Rather than the play-based philosophy pre-schools adhered to in the past, academic pre-schools introduce students to the rigors of the classroom. These academic pre-schools often teach math and reading. Proponents of this type of learning say that children are sponges at early ages, and the more information they can be

environment. A school may look excellent on paper, but you will not get a feel for it until visiting the school during a school day.

Take your child along and get his or her opinion. Parents may love a particular school, but if kids are uncomfortable, the school may prove ineffective.

presented with, the more they are likely to retain it. Children who are able to sit and focus for 20 to 30 minutes at a time and are very curious and ask a lot of questions may make for the best candidates at academicbased pre-schools. Other children may be more comfortable attending play-based schools.

While parents who hope to enroll their students in pre-school may have to choose between a play- or academic-based curriculum, there are other factors to consider as well.

Is proximity to your home important? Some parents prefer that their children’s pre-schools be close to home, while others want a school closer to their office. If your commute to work is long, then keep in mind that children will spend more time at a pre-school close to

home, which can cost more and reduce the amount of time parents and their children spend together.

Should the school be faith-based?

Religious organizations frequently offer their own faith-based preschool programs. Parents will have to decide if they want a faith-based curriculum for their young children.

Are pre- and post-care services available? A school that has flexible hours may be appealing to some. This enables parents to drop off and pick up children according to their own work schedules or in coordination with school hours for other children in the family.

Visit the school and assess the

Confirm the curriculum before enrolling. Schools may have different educational philosophies. These can run the gamut from the Montessori Method to the Waldorf Approach to the High/Scope Approach.

Familiarize yourself with a school’s educational philosophy so you can be sure you are making the most informed decision possible.

Go with your gut. Sometimes choosing a pre-school boils down to a facility that just feels right. At this stage in a child’s education, schooling is about learning social skills and growing acclimated to the routines of the classroom.

Help Students Choose an Extracurricular Activity

Extracurricular activities can benefit students in various ways. Academic clubs, sports and volunteer organizations provide students with opportunities to grow as people and make new friends while also teaching kids skills they will use for the rest of their lives.

Many parents are aware that extracurricular activities can help students improve their chances of gaining admission to college. But students who choose the right extracurricular activities will benefit in greater ways than simply strengthening their college applications. The following are a handful of ways parents can help their sons and daughters choose extracurricular activities they can benefit from for years to come: Ask kids to jot down their interests.

Students are more likely to enjoy and excel at extracurricular activities that align with their existing interests. Ask kids to jot down a list of their interests or anything they might want to try. Youngsters might want to learn a musical instrument even if they have never before taken a course on music. Once kids have listed their interests, look for activities that allow them to further explore those interests. Chances are there is a schoolsponsored or community-based club or organization that will align with at least one thing on your child’s list.

Encourage kids to have fun. Kids are more likely to enjoy and fully commit to an activity if they find it fun. While extracurricular activities can help kids grow as people and improve their image in the eyes of college

admissions officers, kids will get even more out of an activity if they enjoy doing it.

Look for something that won’t interfere with schoolwork. Extracurricular activities can look great on a college application, but that benefit is lost if the activity interferes with a student’s academic performance. Some activities, including sports, demand more of students’ time than others, but make sure kids know that school always comes first.

Ask around. Ask neighbors or school officials for recommendations to help kids who have tried but failed to find the right fit with regard to extracurricular activities. Sometimes it takes a little trial and error before a child finds an activity he or she is comfortable with. Fellow parents can make great

resources, and school officials likely know of a host of clubs and organizations that kids may be interested in.

Sign up with your kids. If kids are hesitant to sign up for an activity because they are shy, sign up with them. Volunteer organizations are typically family-friendly, and kids might be more likely to come out of their shells if they sign up with their parents or siblings. As kids grow more comfortable with an activity, they will want to get more involved even if mom and dad don’t have the time.

Parents can employ various strategies to help kids find activities they can be passionate about for years to come.

We Build the American Dream...

employees generated a total of almost $5,000; a sizeable increase from the previous campaign total of $3,600.

United Way has allocated $495,000 to 31 charities in the Town of Hempstead, including the Salvation Army, American Red Cross, Economic Opportunity Commission, and Family and Children’s Association. Additionally, through Project Warmth, they brought emergency heating assistance to 578 town families. The United Way is currently helping 107 local families rebuild their homes after Hurricane Sandy.

“The campaign was an immediate success,” concluded Supervisor Santino. “Our employees jumped at the chance to help families that are facing adversity. We look forward to partnering with United Way again next year.”

When facing the unexpected, a touch of security can go a long way. Supervisor Anthony J. Santino and CSEA Local 880 President Charles Selitto partnered with Michael Cooney of United Way Long Island in a second annual campaign to aide struggling families and residents within the Town of Hempstead.

“United Way is a wonderful organization which has proven time and time again that it will lend a helping hand during times of hardship,” said Supervisor Santino.

“We are thrilled to partner with an organization that has such a beneficial impact on struggling people.”

“The Buck Starts Here” campaign invited town employees to contribute a charitable gift of $1.00 or more per paycheck to the United Way organization, an agency that provides support to over 100 organizations on Long Island. Town of Hempstead

The Power of Positivity By: Jamie Lynn Ryan

I have often admired those who have the ability to see the good in every situation, those seemingly mystical individuals who appear to glide through life surrounded by an aura of peace and contentment, no matter what obstacles may be thrown their way. How it is that such an approach comes so naturally for some, yet is a constant struggle for others?

Certainly, we all come from different circumstances, are faced with varying situations in our everyday lives – but, at our core, we are all made up of the same basic components.

How we choose to deal with life’s variables is what makes us each unique. Do we meet them head on, or do we shy away? Is our tendency to be confrontational, or passive?

Are we cynical or receptive to new ideas and methodologies?

Personally, I would brand myself a mixture of these facets, somewhat cynical, but yet still idealistic enough to remain hopeful that things will get better, over time, somehow.

A positive mentality goes a long way, that is undeniable; and being open to possibilities will always seem like the better approach to putting up walls and allowing yourself to become consumed by the negativity surrounding you.

Of course, sometimes we need a little help to implement these ideologies, and for that, I have sought out the practice of yoga over the last several years. Initially intended as a way to fill the void left by my “retirement” from 20 years of dancing, it has served as far more of a peaceful retreat from the world, an avenue to truly relax and decompress. Sure, it has its physical benefits as well, but the mental state it helps you to achieve is truly priceless.

The key, naturally, is to take this practice and apply it to those many hours spent outside the yoga studio, to transfer it into the “real” world beyond the self-made sanctuary. This can be found anywhere really, from a few hours soaking in the rays of the sun poolside, to walking along the shoreline with the ocean’s waves caressing your toes, to sitting on the edge of a dock taking in the last golden glow of sunset.

You need only to remain open-minded, to see the beauty of each day, and to channel that positivity into a productive mentality. Easier said than done? Sure. But it can be done. It has been, by those who have chosen to cast aside the negative. My goal in this, my 34th year, is to embody the same characteristics those I admire do. And why not.

Here’s to a new year…my new year. Plenty to smile about.

“I also look forward to presenting all “winners” with an award certificate recognizing them for their contribution to a magnificent Town calendar.”

Best in the Nation All three high schools in the Bellmore-Merrick Central High School District have been recognized by Newsweek as being among the best high schools in the country.

On the magazine’s 2016 list of America’s top 500 high schools, John F. Kennedy High School was listed at No. 160, Wellington C. Mepham High School came in at No. 266 and Sanford H. Calhoun High School was ranked at No. 300. The rankings are based on a college readiness score

determined by average AP/ IB, ACT and SAT scores, along with graduation rate and college-bound percentage. Counselor-tostudent ratio and student retention rate over four years of enrollment also factor into the ranking.

“I am extremely proud that all three of our high schools have been recognized as being among the best in the country,” said BellmoreMerrick Superintendent of Schools Dr. John DeTommaso. “Of course, these lists don’t completely

measure the greatness of our schools. Anyone who spends an extended period of time in any of our three high schools or our middle schools can more effectively measure the incredible things our staff does for students.

Add a very supportive parent group with a board of education dedicated to providing what’s best for our kids, and you have a recipe for success.”

Newsweek used data from the National Center for Education Statistics for its 2016 rankings.

Newly Appointed

With the 2016-2017 school year around the corner, the East Meadow School District extends its gratitude to Mary Ann O’Brien for her years of service as Assistant Superintendent for Business and Finance and welcomes Patrick Pizzo and Jennifer Frisenda to their newly appointed administrative roles.

Ms. O’Brien entered the District as the Assistant Business Administrator in September 2009 and held this position until January 2014, at which time she was promoted to Assistant Superintendent for Business and Finance. As she heads into retirement, Superintendent of Schools Leon J. Campo and members of the Board of Education and Administrative staff thank Ms. O’Brien for her time and dedication to the district.

“As Mary Ann heads into retirement, we wish her tremendous success in all of life’s future endeavors and thank her for her devotion, passion, and years of service to our community, staff and, more importantly, our children,” Mr. Campo said.

Effective September 1st, Mr. Pizzo will accept the role of Assistant Superintendent for Business and Finance after serving as the District’s Assistant to the Superintendent for Administration and Special Projects for the past eight years. In the latter position, Mr. Pizzo led a team that developed the District’s annual expense budget and prepared budgetary presentations for the Board of Education, parent teacher associations, residents and community members under the guidance of

the Superintendent. He also built, defended and implemented annual facilities, operations and capital budgets totaling over $9.9 million dollars, as well as repaired and maintained the plant budget totaling over $2.1 million dollars, for review and approval by the Superintendent and Board of Education. In addition, Mr. Pizzo served on the District Cabinet, where he was responsible for the efficient physical plant operation, environmental safety and preventative maintenance of 10 buildings covering 1.34 million square feet of occupied space and 130 acres of grounds.

Prior to his time in East Meadow, Mr. Pizzo was the Director of Facilities and Operations for the Hicksville School District.

He also held the position of Deputy Regional Manager for the New York City Department of Education, a role in which he oversaw the physical plant operation and management of 39 schools.

Mr. Pizzo received his Bachelor of Science from SUNY Oneonta and both his Master of Business Administration and Advanced Certificate as a School District Business Leader from LIU Post.

Also on September 1st, Jennifer Frisenda will accept her newly appointed position as the District’s Assistant Business Administrator.

Ms. Frisenda joined the East Meadow school community in 2014 as District Treasurer, where she maintained district records and files, reconciled monthly bank statements and submitted monthly financial statements to the Board of Education, Superintendent and Assistant Superintendent for Business and Finance, as well as performed yearly school lunch audits to ensure compliance with state regulations.

Prior to entering the district, Ms. Frisenda was an administrative intern in the Jericho and Oyster Bay-East Norwich school districts. In this

role, she established procedure manuals to specify job descriptions of business office personnel, ensuring all aspects of each job were detailed, and created flow charts to show job responsibilities and progression. She also reviewed, revised and recreated budget brochures for the 20132014 budget and worked directly with the Assistant Superintendent for Finance and Operations to ensure all data was provided to the community.

Ms. Frisenda holds a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration from Marist College, as well as a Master of Business Administration and Master of Science in Education from LIU Post.

“We welcome Patrick and Jennifer to their new administrative positions and know they will be very successful,” Mr. Campo said.

Board Honors At the July 12th reorganization meeting of the BellmoreMerrick Central High School District Board of Education, Janet Goller was elected to the role of president for the 20162017 school year, while Dr. Nancy Kaplan was elected to the position of vice president. Goller and Kaplan took their oaths of office and were sworn in by district clerk Claire Neufeld.

In addition, Lisa Katz, representing the Merrick School District, was sworn in as the newest trustee to the board.

Back to School lessons to use in the first 20 days of the school year.

The goal is to provide a strong foundation to set the tone for strong literacy development throughout the year.

Teachers learned about incorporating readers’ notebooks into their classes which are designed to deepen students’ abilities to think, talk and write about their reading. They also explored model texts to teach the eight literary elements, and how to build a list of mentor texts for a classroom, which are used to provide examples of good writing.

Math workshops provided teachers with ideas for lessons to engage students in meaningful and rich mathematical activities, and how to create classroom environments filled with numbers. There was also a classroom management training session.

“Our teachers have been engaged in meaningful professional development throughout the summer that will benefit our students,” said Tillie McNamara, the district’s director of education programs and staff development.

“This ensures that North Bellmore has some of the best trained teachers on Long Island.”

The programs were presented by Lindsey Anderson and Matt Comiskey, elementary instructional and curriculum coordinators in the Northport-East Northport School District.

North Bellmore teachers said they learned a lot of strategies that they will BACK TO SCHOOL - North Bellmore teachers focused incorporate into their daily on small-group instruction during several professional lessons and were grateful development courses this summer.

Our main goal at Chatterton is to help each child grow into a motivated and confident learner and a compassionate individual.

Our staff works diligently to meet the needs of all children, while supporting, guiding and challenging them to be the best they can be.

We also offer numerous clubs such as Art Club, Lunch Bunch, Scrabble Club, Technology Club, Lego Club, Spanish Club and AV Club.

The East Meadow Board of Education invites residents and members of the school community to attend a focus group meeting on Thursday, October 6th, from 6 to 7:30 p.m., at the Leon J. Campo Salisbury Center to assist in the selection process for a new superintendent of schools.

Attendees will identify the personal and professional qualities and experiences they believe an East Meadow superintendent should possess. Search consultants from School Leadership, LLC, will begin the meeting by explaining the process and estimated duration of the search. The

• SCHOOLS • LIBRARIES • FIREHOUSES • LOCAL COMMUNITY GROUPS • CONTINUING EDUCATION PROGRAMS • CHURCHES & TEMPLES • NEIGHBORHOOD GROUPS • LOCAL SPORTS GROUPS

remainder of the meeting will be devoted to hearing participants’ responses to three prompts: to consider why a highly qualified educator would seek the position of East Meadow Superintendent of Schools; to identify some of the major challenges a new superintendent will face over the next few years; and to discuss prior experiences and characteristics they believe the new superintendent should have.

The community input will be compiled into a set of search specifications that the board will approve at its November 10th meeting.

Those specifications will be a guide for the board in

their search.

Residents and members of the school community who cannot attend the meeting are asked to share their input by completing a brief survey at www. s u r v e y m o n k e y. c o m / r / EastMeadowUFSD. A hard copy of the survey will be provided in a special district newsletter, available at the East Meadow Public Library and the main office of the resident’s local schools.

The board of education encourages all members of the East Meadow community to attend this meeting and have their voice heard.

“Our first year at school, we had no idea what to expect, but we felt right at home in no time.

I love that our kids are exposed to not only Hebrew but to Yiddish as well - and I know my grandparents would have loved it too. Our boys aren’t memorizing alphabets or history books. Rather, they’re learning what it means to be Jewish through food, music, culture and volunteering. This is more than an education: it’s the Jewish community we’ve been looking for.”

The Levittown Public Library was the hub of discussion as students from Jonas Salk and Wisdom Lane middle schools conversed about Holly Goldberg Sloan’s “Counting by 7’s,” this school year’s pick for the annual Summer Reading Extravaganza and community read. The event was the third of three summer book discussion and English language arts activity dates designed to promote and inspire a Levittown community of readers.

Director of K-12 English Kerin Slattery explained that reading the same book brings the community

together. “Reading the same book creates a bond and collaboration among students and staff by giving everyone something similar to discuss,” she said.

Students were required to read the book over the summer and will discuss, share and write about “Counting by 7’s” upon returning to school on September 7th, thus incorporating the Summer Reading Extravaganza into the core curriculum.

In addition to the book discussions, the district made available a dynamic website from which to download student and teacher/administrator

blogs discussing key elements of the book, as well as video clips of staff discussions. The website also included opportunities to upload additional reading material and engage in related book activities.

With each activity completed, students entered a raffle for prizes or the opportunity to have lunch with the author, who will visit the district during the school year. On October 27th, the district will host a READ Showcase, highlighting the activities and projects completed at the book discussion events.

Learning to Swim Over two dozen children who were once afraid of the water and lacked basic safety skills are now swimming thanks to free 1-on-1 swim lessons offered by Big Brothers Big Sisters of Long Island (BBBSLI) who teamed up with the Levittown Swim Association (LSA) to provide swim lessons this summer. The swim lessons were part of BBBSLI’s Summer Series which included a variety of free activities for kids and their mentors to participate in together.

“For many of the kids, it was their first time learning to swim, most were fearful, but each one learned basic skills and had 1-on-1 instruction. We can’t fully express our gratitude to the LSA leadership and the volunteer swimmers who were simply incredible,”

said Nancy Travers, Director of Services for Big Brothers Big Sisters of Long Island.

LSA is an all-volunteer, not-for-profit organization swimming program where children develop and learn competitive swimming skills, and then use them to compete against each other in swim meets during the season.

“Levittown Swimming Association is all about kids helping kids. When BBBSLI approached us to give swim lessons to children who didn’t swim, our swimmers could not step up fast enough”, said Carol Wyckoff, LSA President.

Watching the best swimmers in the world compete in the Olympics is a great reminder that until a young person is given the opportunity to

learn … there is no telling what they are capable of achieving.

For 39 years, Big Brothers Big Sisters of Long Island has been making a positive difference by matching children across Long Island in need of guidance and support with an adult mentor who can serve as a positive role model in their life. BBBSLI believes every child should have the opportunity to reach his or her full potential, both as individuals and citizens. In addition to its one-to-one community based program, BBBSLI also offers a range of sitebased group mentoring programs. To learn more about their different programs or how to apply as a volunteer mentor, visit bbbsli.org.

SUMMER CONCERT - A concert was recently held at the Harry Chapin Lakeside Theatre in Eisenhower Park. Concerts at the park are open to the public and free of charge, and run through the summer. Information about concerts at the theatre is available by calling 516.572.0200 during weekday business hours. Pictured are Nassau County Executive Edward Mangano, musician Taylor Dayne, Nassau County Legislator Rose Walker and Comptroller George Maragos.

STATUE UNVEILED - The unveiling of a statue in Roosevelt of Brigadier General George A. Jones, who is the only African-American to have held the position in Nassau County, was recently held. The event was an opportunity for officials and members of the community to thank Brigadier General Jones for his bravery and years of service to our nation. Pictured are Comptroller George Maragos, State Senator Michael Venditto, Deputy Speaker Earlene Hooper and Assemblyman David McDonough.

SCOPE Dinner Meeting Long Island’s newest public school leaders were welcomed and introduced to the area’s seasoned colleagues during SCOPE’S 32nd annual Dinner Meeting for Superintendents and School Board Members, held at the St. John University’s Oakdale campus on August 11th.

The event provided the opportunity for newly appointed superintendents and newly elected school board trustees to mingle and share ideas with fellow educators from school districts across Nassau and Suffolk counties.

During his introduction and welcome, SCOPE Executive Director George L. Duffy urged those in attendance to utilize the many organizations associated with SCOPE

and noted that developing the minds of students is an educator’s most important job. “The children we educate today are the leaders of tomorrow,” he said.

Guest speaker New York State Commissioner of Education MaryEllen Elia discussed the changes made and ongoing reviews of the Common Core Learning Standards, state curriculum, student assessments and teacher evaluations. In terms of student assessments, Elia said she believes that “assessments have a role in education and can work as an important tool to educate our children.” She also noted that the state is working to be more transparent by releasing 75 percent of the test questions and providing a

parent-friendly assessment report. In addition, the commissioner addressed teacher evaluations, which she said are now being reviewed by educators.

“You want evaluations that can help teachers move forward,” she said.

New York State Regent Roger Tilles presented his views on the demographic and geographic issues resulting in gaps in education and graduation rates. “Districts are asked to overcome issues that are often beyond our schools,” he said. “During my visits to high-need districts, I have noticed that what brings students to school are the programs we often cut from schools, and I hope we can turn that around.”

Missing Type Campaign New York Blood Center has joined blood donor organizations across 21 countries with the Missing Type campaign to highlight an almost 30% international drop in new blood donors compared to a decade ago. Every second, three people across the world receive a life changing blood transfusion, thanks to selfless donors who answer the call to donate.

Participating blood services reported the number of people becoming donors and giving blood for the first time decreased by 27.6% since 2005. In the United States, there is a particular need for new donors with O negative blood, the universal blood type, and donors of minority backgrounds such as Latino/Hispanic and African American community members.

To sign up to donate, visit: www.nybloodcenter. org/blood or call Toll Free: 1.800.933.2566.

Missing Type campaign – first held in England and North Wales by NHS Blood and Transplant in 2015 – this year brings together 25 blood services from 21 countries, covering one billion of the world’s population, who are each calling for new donors to ensure blood donations and a steady supply for future generations.

Throughout the global “Missing Type” campaign,

A’s, B’s, and O’s, the letters of the main blood groups, will disappear in everyday and iconic locations in New York City with the help and support of organizations and local businesses.

The Missing Type letters will also be disappearing from famous locations in Australia, America, Japan, Ireland, England, and many more countries.

Celebrities supporting the campaign include actress Jamie Lee Curtis and rapper LL Cool J. NYBC and Lauren Shields, a sixteen-yearold blood recipient who needed life-saving blood transfusions during her heart transplant in 2009, rang the opening bell at the New York Stock Exchange in support of the Missing Type campaign last week on Tuesday, August 9th.

Robert Purvis, Vice President of NYBC said, “New York Blood Center is very proud to be part of the international Missing Type campaign which has the power to raise awareness globally on the everyday need for blood – especially O - which is the universal blood type and is always in short supply. The campaign couldn’t happen at a better time, as August is such a high vacation month!

You can start donating blood across the U.S. from age sixteen, with a parent’s written consent. O negative blood type, the universal

donor that is most reached for in the E.R., is found more commonly within the Latino/Hispanic and African American populations.

However, these populations are underrepresented in the donor pool, and with the increasing population rate, their communities are in need.

“We need people to come out and support one another, by donating blood and your time, you are saving someone’s life, just like mine. Blood is needed for transfusions during organ transplants or when someone is undergoing chemotherapy.

Without blood and people who donated I would not be here today,” said Shields.

Delicious Drinks (NAPSI)—Fruit can be a great way to add color and flavor to any drink recipe.

For example, give lemonades a pink twist with watermelon and strawberry.

Or add blackberries and blueberries to an iced tea for a refreshing flair. Adult beverages can also benefit from a fruity mix-up, with margaritas leading the way. The natural tartness of lime and tequila counter well with the sweetness of fresh fruits to create a smooth cocktail for enjoying outdoors.

Sideshows by the Seashore Adam RealMan and Coney Island USA Present: The 9th annual Coney Island Beard and Moustache Competition at Sideshows by the Seashore!

The strangest and most extravagant beards and moustaches descend upon Coney Island to see whose facial hair reigns supreme.

Founded in 2008, the Coney Island Beard and Moustache Competition has grown to become one of Coney Island’s most unique evenings of entertainment.

Over the past eight years, hundreds of bearded men (and women) have competed to take home the much coveted Beard & Moustache Fez trophy.

“This year’s event promises to be the zaniest and most fun one ever!

We’ve got a very literary heavy judges panel this year. Three of the five judges have written books on topics ranging from heavy metal music to personal fitness and the other two round things

out, one as a writer for Weird NJ Magazine and one as one of the stars of the hit TV show, Oddities. We’ve also got a bunch of great vendors and sponsors.

This is more than just a beard competition,” said Adam RealMan, producer and host of the show, “It’s some of the wackiest entertainment located in the birthplace of wacky entertainment!”

Coney-centric categories for the competition include ‘The Brass Ring’ (Best

in Show), ‘Coney Island Curl’ (Best Moustache Styled), ‘Moustachio Marvel’ (Best Moustache Natural), ‘Ballyhoo Beard’ (Best Beard Styled), ‘Man or Beast’ (Best Beard Natural), ‘Hokum and Hoodwinked’ (Best Fake Beard or Moustache), ‘Dog and Pony’ (Best Partial Beard/Sideburns), ‘Come Out To Play’ (Strongest Team Participation) and of course the much coveted ‘Carny Trash’ (Worst in Show).

Guest judges include Mike Zohn, proprietor of the Obscura Antique Shop, and star of the reality show Oddities, Katherine Turman, co-author of the critically acclaimed book, ‘Louder Than Hell, the Definitive Oral History of Metal’ and producer of the Nights With Alice Cooper Radio Show, Al and Danny Kavadlo, noted fitness authors and instructors and Matt Chrystal, President of the Garden State Beard & Moustache

Society and Weird NJ correspondent.

Serpentina and the Flying Kavadlo Brothers will entertain the guests with their unusual acts and electrifying feats.

Masters of Ceremony are Coney Island icon, Adam RealMan and well known New York City nightlife personality, Mistress B. For additional information and tickets, please visit: www. coneyisland.com.

LICADD offers crisis intervention, screenings, brief interventions, referrals to treatment and several family education workshops to help Long Islanders struggling with the effects of addiction.

Through our Open Arms, EAP Program, LICADD has provided targeted solution-focused support to companies all along the East Coast, serving over 60,000 employees and their families.

For more information please call 516.747.2606

or visit us on the web at www.licadd.org. Find us on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.

Grant Received The Long Island Council on Alcoholism and Drug Dependence (LICADD) received a $2,500 grant from PSEG for the Student Assistance Program (SAP).

Funding will help to support the ongoing operation of LICADD’s SAP designed to educate young people about the potential health consequences associated with substance abuse in an age appropriate manner.

The TGFD prevention program helps

children build core social competencies, refusal skills and protective factors relating to tobacco and other drug use during their critical formative educational years. Teen Intervene, a psychoeducation intervention model, addresses teens experiencing mild to moderate problems associated with alcohol or other drug use.

With significant drops in the street price of heroin on Long Island, increasing numbers of

young people are using the drug. Heroin arrests by the DEA have surged in recent years. Calls to LICADD’s hotlines and requests for services mirror these increasing trends and beyond the sheer rise in numbers of young people and their families seeking heroin addiction treatment services, the rapid progression from snorting to injecting the drug is startling and obviously increases the potential health

consequences for users.

“We are so grateful to PSEG for supporting this important program.

LICADD will continue to work with school districts and educators to promote service coordination, collaboration and innovation” says Executive Director Steve Chassman.

For 60 years, LICADD has successfully delivered evidence-based programs designed to prevent and treat substance abuse and addiction.
