You want to give them a safe, loving environment. With structure and discipline.

Not just day care, but a real school with certified teachers. A school that supports working Moms (and Dads), with before and after care—and gives students as young as three years old the fundamental skills they need to develop a lifetime love of learning. Of course, choosing a Catholic education gives them much more than an educational advantage. It also helps them understand their purpose in life and their obligations to others, reinforcing the values you live at home. Isn’t that what you want for your children?

Proudly Serving The Community Since 1953!

The photographic works of twenty of Wantagh High School’s finest photographers, under the direction of teacher Patricia Beary, were displayed alongside other professional artists in the Explorations in Pinhole Photography Exhibit, held at the Long Island Children’s Museum’s KaleidoZone Gallery from July 31st to Labor Day. Today, pinhole photography is an art form

used by artists to show time and motion. Before the camera, photographers used the camera obscura, a dark box with a pinhole to let in light. The light left an image on light-sensitive paper that became visible through the use of chemicals.

Student artists who exhibited their pinhole works of art include Alyssa Albanese, Aimee Ambrosio, Zach Baruch, Grace Buscemi, Kayley Butcher,

ONEONCOLOGY LAUNCHES TO ENABLE BETTER CANCER CARE IN COMMUNITIES ACROSS AMERICA

Nashville, TN (September 12, 2018) – Three leading oncology practices unite with partners in technology and finance to announce the launch of OneOncology, a patient-centric, physiciandriven, and technologypowered company with a mission to improve the

lives of everyone living with cancer.

An estimated 38 percent of Americans will be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetimes. Fortunately, with breakthroughs in diagnostic testing, targeted and immunotherapies, and surgical procedures, cancer is being detected earlier and survivorship is increasing. More than half of those diagnosed with cancer in the U.S. are being treated in a communitybased setting, providing high-quality care closer to patients’ homes, at costs up to 60 percent less than in acute care hospitals.

Despite their critical role, community oncology practices face enormous challenges, including increased pressure from hospital consolidation, limited resources to invest in innovation, and continued shifts to alternative payment models.

OneOncology empowers community oncology practices by supporting the entire continuum of care, including prevention and diagnosis, research and treatment, long-term survivorship, and palliative and hospice care. Through this comprehensive approach, OneOncology aims to achieve improved patient experience and outcomes while benefiting their providers and payers through better aligned payment models.

“With the launch of OneOncology, we hope to transform the future of cancer care,” said Tracy Bahl, OneOncology’s President & Chief Executive Officer. The 20year healthcare industry veteran sees a need in the marketplace for a better cancer care model. “Cancer is increasingly being treated like a chronic condition rather than a terminal diagnosis.

Working

together with world-class oncologists, we will drive the change that community cancer needs through continual learning, creative and smart evolution, and a collective desire to positively impact the lives of every person touched by cancer.”

OneOncology’s founding practices are recognized as three of the nation’s leading community-based cancer care centers. Dr. Jeff Patton, CEO of Tennessee Oncology, Dr. Jeff Vacirca, CEO of New York Cancer & Blood Specialists, and Dr. Lee Schwartzberg, Executive Director of West Cancer Center, all believe that this partnership will enable the nation’s best oncologists to learn from unique challenges, drive meaningful innovation, and leverage the benefits for patients.

Flatiron Health, with technology currently embedded in 275 oncology

practices nationwide, will power the OneOncology technology and data platform.

OneOncology will leverage Flatiron’s suite of services to provide access to key clinical and operational data and the latest research via a connected, national, cloudbased network.

General Atlantic, a leading global growth equity firm with a history of launching innovative companies, has made a significant investment in the company to support its current growth plans and ensure it will be at the forefront of the transformation to a valuebased cancer care system.

In addition to Mr. Bahl and the founding physicians, the OneOncology leadership team includes: David Chernow, an innovator in community-based cancer care for over 25 years and co-founder of American

Oncology Resources, the predecessor to US Oncology, who will serve as Chairman of the Board; General Counsel Phil Watts, former General Counsel and Executive Committee member at US Oncology; and Chief Development and Marketing Officer Robin Shah, former Vice President of Provider Marketing and Strategy at Flatiron Health, who will lead the team’s growth strategy including business development and technology. Each of these individuals has been involved in the inspiration and creation of OneOncology.

For OneOncology, cancer is personal, and the mission is critical. Mr. Bahl added, “We believe our vision, our model, and our team are uniquely positioned to dramatically improve cancer care delivery at a time when patients need it most.”

Craig T. Nelson on Book Club and Incredibles 2

By Allison Kugel

From playing football fanatic, Hayden Fox, on the long running sitcom Coach; Zeek Braverman on Parenthood; and countless big screen roles, actor Craig T. Nelson’s career has been as versatile as it is prolific.

It was his voice work in 2004’s Disney Pixar movie, The Incredibles, that introduced Nelson to a young audience. His voice is so recognizable as the voice of Mr. Incredible, that the world stops spinning for a beat whenever a starstruck child hears him speak.

Nelson recently played Mary Steenburgen’s husband in the romantic comedy, Book Club and resumed his role as Mr. Incredible in Incredibles 2.

Allison Kugel: What does an ensemble piece like Book Club allow you to do as an actor?

Allison Kugel: Book Club addresses that mid-to-later-life slump that people can slide into without even realizing it’s happening. How do you think men experience this phase of life differently from women?

Craig T. Nelson: I think we experience it in much the same way. It depends

Allison Kugel: In Book Club, your wife, played by Mary Steenburgen, is upset because she feels your marriage has fallen into a slump. Do you think marriage should be able to go through its natural ebbs and flows?

Craig T. Nelson: If you’re married to your best friend, as I am, you have to realize you’re going to have ups and downs. You’re physically going to change, emotionally you’re going to change. You have to adapt and be prepared for that stuff. That’s also part of the adventure. It seems like just yesterday I was talking to older actors about aging. I was a young working actor, and they were all telling me how difficult it was for them, and how they were approaching a period in their life where they felt they weren’t working as much. When it started happening to me, I think I was prepared for it to a certain degree.

Allison Kugel: People may not know that you began your career as a standup comedian.

Craig T. Nelson: Barry Levinson and

I did stand up [comedy] together for four years, and then another guy, Rudy DeLuca, joined us. We wrote and performed comedy, and then we worked with Tim Conway, John Byner and Alan King. That’s how I started in the business.

Allison Kugel: How did that experience inform how you approach a role?

Craig T. Nelson: I was never really interested in doing standup comedy.

Barry Levinson and I were in the Oxford Theatre together, which was a theatre group in LA. We got to talking and Barry said, “Why don’t we do a standup act?” I had never done that and never even thought of it, but we put an act together. We went out and auditioned and started doing clubs. It was an intro into the business, and I met so many incredible people during that time. It does give me a different perspective on acting. Comedy helped me to enlarge and be better at what I did. Another important thing is that you just get better as you get older.

I’m so much more comfortable in a scene now than I ever was. There are so many experiences and so many people to draw on. It’s a wonderful place to be.

Allison Kugel: This is not your first time playing Mary Steenburgen’s husband. You also played husband and wife in the 2009 movie, The Proposal, alongside Ryan Reynolds and Sandra Bullock. How was it playing her husband again in Book Club?

Craig T. Nelson: She’s so much fun to work with. She’s got this wonderful quirkiness to her that is so beautiful. It’s also very challenging, because you need to stay on top of your game with her, as with all the actresses in this film. I’ve worked with Diane [Keaton], I’ve worked with Jane [Fonda], I hadn’t met Candice [Bergen] until this film, so that was neat. I look forward to continuing to work with Mary. There is an understanding between me and Mary. You’re able to ask questions of each other or address problems in a scene together. There’s no wandering around, trying to get to the truth of something.

Allison Kugel: Let’s switch gears and discuss Incredibles 2! In the first movie, The Incredibles, your character, Mr. Incredible is struggling with living life as a civilian. He’s dying to be a superhero again and to use his powers. Holly Hunter’s character, Elastigirl, wanted a normal family life.

In Incredibles 2, it’s reversed. She’s

out being a superhero and you’re the stay-at-home dad. How does that go for Mr. Incredible?

Craig T. Nelson: He doesn’t quite understand it and is feeling rejected, like, “Why don’t they want me out there?” He now has to take a back seat and for him that’s difficult. He makes the sacrifice for his wife. He’s got a resentment going on, but as you watch him at home you get to know these kids in a way that’s fun and interesting. And you get to see a guy have to adapt and get to know his children in a way that he hasn’t. That was neat for me to play.

Allison Kugel: How do you get into character when you’re voicing Mr. Incredible?

Craig T. Nelson: You prepare ahead of time in the session, especially vocally because there are a lot of different ranges you have to get to.

There are scenes when you’re doing a lot of yelling and shouting. And it’s a long and involved process that’s complexly different from regular acting.

recognize the voice, it’s interesting.

And then you have to convince this kid that you are! And you feel like an idiot trying to get a seven-year-old to believe you (laughs). They look at you with this wonder, yet at the same time disbelief. It gets confusing even for me.

Allison Kugel: My nine-year-old is obsessed! He loved both The Incredibles and Incredibles 2, when it hit theatres this summer.

Craig T. Nelson: The special FX are extraordinary. Since 2004 when the original movie was out, they’ve developed a whole new range of different processes that have gone into this second movie, including its color enrichment. For me, the exciting thing about the second movie is the character Jack Jack, the baby, really comes alive and that’s going to be so much fun for people to see. What’s so great about this movie is that it’s a family deal. You can take your family to this movie and have a great time. And same with Book Club.

It’s two movies I’m proud to let my family watch.

Allison Kugel: I’m sure you’ve watched the first movie, The Incredibles, with your grandchildren.

What do they think of you playing Mr. Incredible?

Incredibles 2 Photo Credits: Disney Pixar

Craig T. Nelson: They still don’t believe it (laughs). I have to do lines from the film, so they can hear me do the voice, and then it’s, “Oh yeah, that’s him.”

Book Club is now available on On Demand. Incredibles 2 will be out on DVD and Blue Ray this October.

Allison Kugel: When you’re out, are you ever stopped by kids?

Allison Kugel is a syndicated entertainment columnist, and author of the book, Journaling Fame: A memoir of a life unhinged and on the record. Follow her on Instagram @theallisonkugel and www. allisonkugel.com.

Craig T. Nelson: The other day my older son was visiting, and somebody overheard me talking to him and they turned around and said, “My God! Are you Mr. Incredible?!” They’ll

Craig T. Nelson: The opportunity to work with the different characters that are being played broadens what you can do as an actor. Oftentimes, the way people react differently to different people they meet, it’s that same dynamic, and it can be something of an adventure. Although in Book Club, most of my scenes are with Mary [Steenburgen]. There are only one or two scenes where I’m with everyone.

upon societal pressures. Part of the confusion is the result of what society is demanding now, which is pretty much all youth oriented.

Cosmetically and pharmaceutically you’re supposed to be able to prolong your life, or at least the appearance of it. The reality is that you do age. Yes, we are living longer, but there’s more pressure. I suppose it’s how that manifests in each of us, which has to do with our own personality. There’s a lot of pressure to be young. But there is also a lot of pressure being old, not to get any older. I think that is so screwed up.

Plan For Your Retirement (NAPSI)—If you’re like 82 percent of Americans, you may be concerned about retirement, according to the Employment Benefit Research Institute.

Fortunately, you may have a brighter future if you heed five hints from Ray LeVitre, CFP, author of “20 Retirement Decisions You Need To Make Right Now” as well as founder and managing partner of Net Worth Advisory Group—a firm specializing in retirement financial planning.

1. Track your expenses now. Gradually adjust your expenditures toward the budget you’ll have in retirement.

2. Start living like a retiree.

Change your lifestyle to reflect how it might be in retirement.

That might mean downsizing your home, reducing your leisure travel or driving a more efficient car.

3.

Increase your savings. Within 15 years of retirement, contribute a minimum of 15 percent

of earnings toward retirement.

4.

Explore your Social Security options.

Postponing benefits until age 70 can significantly boost lifetime income.

Explore spousal benefits, too.

5. Don’t invest too conservatively. A broadly diversified, well-balanced portfolio of equities, bonds and cash offers the best opportunity to maintain the necessary growth of capital while minimizing volatility.

Living With Diabetes (NAPSI)—Chef Chris Smith (aka The Diabetic Chef), a graduate of the Culinary Institute of America and a person living with type 1 diabetes, may have good news for the nearly 30 million other Americans with his condition: Being diagnosed with diabetes doesn’t mean your life needs to lack flavor.

There are many ways to prepare nutritious and delicious meals without sacrificing taste.

In fact, Chef Smith worked with Equal

0-calorie sweetener to develop a digital recipe guide and tips to take the guesswork out of meal planning.

Five other things he suggests: • Use your resources, including your health care provider, dietitian and Certified Diabetes Educator.

• Understand the relationship between carbohydrates and blood sugar and learn how to manage them.

• Monitor how much sodium, saturated fat

and sugar you consume.

• Incorporate more fruits and vegetables into your diet.

• Read nutritional labels—know what you’re eating. A variety of sweet and savory dishes that use Equal instead of sugar are suitable for people with diabetes and anyone who wants a healthy lifestyle.

It tastes great in hot and cold beverages, on fruit or cereal, and in most recipes that use sugar.

Living Well

(NAPSI)—Allergies are nothing to sneeze at but you can make your home more comfortable for people who have allergies and improve your indoor air quality—by cleaning in an often forgotten place.

Indoor air quality can be a big concern for many families. After all, in a typical six-room home, up to 40 pounds of dust—including dangerous chemicals and other pollutants—is created annually through everyday living. These contaminants are pulled into the HVAC 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.

Life’s Next Great Adventure “Life is either a daring adventure, or nothing at all.”

– Helen Keller

As I awaken on the morning of my forty-fourth birthday I am reminded of the first thought that crossed my mind four years ago, on the morning of my fortieth birthday. The thought was this: “Okay kid, the first half of the ride is over. What are you going to do with the second half? You’d better make it count.”

I knew immediately that for all the accomplishments I’d achieved up until that point - becoming a professional writer, some travel, motherhood, great times with people I love, some spiritual growth - one thing that seemed to be missing in that moment was my next great adventure. I’d always been fascinated by horses and felt a sense of peace around them. I wanted to further explore that connection. I immediately went down to a local horse ranch in Melville, called Thomas School of Horsemanship, and signed up for horseback riding lessons.

I’ll never forget the way my heart pounded and the initial fear I felt as I mounted a horse for the very first time. It was a combination of, “My God, this animal is big and high off the ground!” and “I’m doing it! I’m learning to ride a horse.”

At the close of my first lesson, I couldn’t remember the last time I’d felt so accomplished and proud to have tried something new and unfamiliar. Now, four years later, riding horses is as natural to me as breathing; it is my sanctuary. I enjoy riding English-saddle when I am in New York, and Western saddle when I am in Florida. When I am on a horse, the chaos of 21st century life melts away and things feel simple and beautiful.

We all need that sacred retreat in our lives; something to look forward to that takes us out of our daily routine and allows us to be pure joyful consciousness.

You elected to come into this physical plane to experience all that being human has to offer. Fill your life with as many moments as you can that make you feel alive.

As I write this column, I

suddenly got an image in my mind from a scene in the iconic 1985 movie, Back to the Future (one of my all-time favorites).

Doc Brown points to three illuminated dates on a screen, on the DeLorean Time Machine’s dashboard. He explains to Marty, “This one tells you where you are; this one tells you where you’re going; this one tells you where you’ve been.”

If you visualize your mind as a camera, you can choose to pan out for a wider shot of your life.

It’s a great exercise and offers the gift of perspective to examine where you are, where you’re going and where you’ve been. Try to see your life from that higher perspective. You will gain some clarity and inspiration that may direct you towards your life’s next great adventure.

For many of us who are in our forties and beyond, the first half of the ride may indeed be behind us, but the second half, backed by earned wisdom, can be filled with unlimited new experiences if you allow it.

Your life’s next great adventure is just one bold decision away.

Welcoming Back Students

NASSAU ZONE 1 - NEIGHBOR NEWSPAPERS - WEDNESDAY SEPTEMBER 19, 2018 • www.southbaysneighbor.com

Students at all four high schools and two middle schools in the BellmoreMerrick Central High School District bounded into buildings and down halls for the first day of the 2018-2019 school year on September 4th.

John F. Kennedy, Sanford H. Calhoun and Wellington C. Mepham High Schools held ninthgrade orientations last week, which included building tours, small group discussions, and a freshman class barbecue.

“I am especially proud that we had nearly 100 student leaders volunteer to welcome the incoming Class of 2022,” said Principal Gerard Owenburg.

“I look forward to getting

to know them throughout their high school careers,” added Calhoun Principal Nicole Hollings. “I hope that they all find an interest about which they can be passionate and that they pursue it.”

Grand Avenue and Merrick Avenue middle schools’ administrators were outside greeting students on the sunny Tuesday morning.

Principal Carlo Conte said he was eager for students’ arrival and “seeing the building come to life.”

Merrick Avenue welcomed students with fanfare as Ram black and gold balloons marked the entrance and a “Welcome Back” sign adored the building’s front lawn. Even

the school mascot made an appearance.

The district’s theme of “Where Wellness Matters” was also introduced to staff during two days of professional development last week.

“This year, the district will also be extending our commitment to every student’s academic, social and emotional well-being by offering extended hours at our School Counseling and Wellness Centers (formerly referred to as guidance),” said Superintendent John DeTommaso. “We will continue to practice self-care and maintain a positive outlook to ensure positive outcomes for our students.”

Summer Culinary Arts Academy Half Hollow Hills student Sammy Brandstein enjoyed the opportunity to build a foundation of culinary skills under the tutelage of professional chefs in a state-of-theart kitchen during the Nassau BOCES and Hofstra Summer Camp Culinary Arts Academy.

Nassau BOCES partnered with Hofstra’s Continuing Education program, as well as the college’s Summer Camp, to offer a variety of exciting and fun educational opportunities for young people this summer.

Students entering grades 6-11 were offered a number of programs providing experiences in career

exploration, arts, sciences, outdoor education and more.

Other programs offered a variety of experiences in fields such as Aviation, Construction Trades, Veterinary Medicine and Graphic Design. Some programs were offered at three separate levels — Introductory, Intermediate and Advanced. Programs were conducted in different locations, such as Nassau BOCES state-of-the-art Joseph M. Barry Career & Technical Education Center in Westbury, Caumsett State Historic Park in Lloyd Harbor and the Nassau BOCES Brookville Environmental Education Center in

Brookville.

Through two featured programs this year, Nassau BOCES Outdoor and Environmental Education enabled campers to discover the unique habitats of Caumsett State Historic Park Preserve and the Brookville Outdoor Education site. “A Field Study in Marine Biology” gave campers a chance to become Marine Biologists in training. In “STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math) Marine Exploration Technology,” teams of campers built an underwater ROV (Remotely Operated Vehicle).

SCHOOL MASCOT - Merrick Avenue Principal Dr. Taryn Johnson welcomed seventh-grader Alicia Suss-Pardo, along with the school mascot, the Ram (costume worn by eighth-grader Danielle Dukofsky). Photo courtesy of the Bellmore-Merrick Central High School District

Award winning journalist Geralyn Lucas, author of Why I Wore Lipstick to My Mastectomy and Then Came Life, will speak at the Annual Celebration of Survivorship Evening of the Adelphi New York Statewide Breast Cancer Hotline & Support Program.

Both of Lucas’s memoirs were translated around the world and received starred reviews in Library Journal. The television film production of Lipstick garnered an Emmynomination and was an Entertainment Weekly “Must Watch of the Week.”

Geralyn’s story was also

featured in Nora and Delia Ephron’s smash offBroadway show, Love, Loss and What I Wore.

Joining her are three other breast cancer survivors: Jeff Flynn of East Meadow, who is a former support group member and currently a hotline volunteer responding to calls from men concerned about breast cancer; Jamaicanborn Sonia Avery-Williams of Rockville Center, who is a nurse; and Susan Leach, also of Rockville Center, a former support group member and manager at a health care agency.

The free event will be held on Thursday, October 18th at Adelphi University’s University Center. Doors will open at 6 pm and speakers begin at 7 pm.

A light supper will be served and there will be raffles.

In addition, the breast cancer organization, Kat’s Ribbon of Hope, will be honored. Kat’s Ribbon of

Hope’s partnership with the Adelphi program supports their mutual goal to provide assistance to women who would otherwise not have access to quality breast cancer treatment.

Katerina Dinas Raptis, a breast cancer survivor who is the co-founder of KROH, was diagnosed when she was 32. She says that while having breast cancer was “a nightmare,” she was blessed with the support of her family and excellent medical care. Many women do not have such support so she was determined to help. She and her husband, George Raptis, and sister, Despina Yarian, established Kat’s Ribbon of Hope in 2013.

To make a reservation, visit breast-cancer. adelphi.edu, call 516877-4325 or email breastcancerhotline@ adelphi.edu.

East Meadow students, teachers and other staff members completed day one of the 2018-2019 school year on September 5th.

They were greeted in the morning by district and building administrators, who also showed up at afternoon dismissals to express congratulations on

a successful opening.

District level administrators welcomed students back to school in each of the schools in the morning, and helped to dismiss students at each of the district’s schools in the afternoon.

Step back in time this weekend, and experience life in a recreated mid-19th Century American village set on more than 200 acres.

Old Bethpage Village Restoration (OBVR) will host the 176th Annual Long Island Fair for the second and final weekend of 2018, on September 22nd and 23rd.

Visitors to the Long Island Fair enjoy Lumberjack shows, Circus Dubois, Loop Rawlins One Man Wild West Show, Pig Racing, Team Rock Ninja Experience and the Butterfly Encounter.

Stilt walkers traverse the grounds, and entertainers enthrall families with puppets, juggling and storytelling.

These festivities continue a 176 year Long Island tradition.

Attractions such as livestock shows, tractor rides, Civil War reenactments, and Rough Rider demonstrations whisk riders back to another era. Visitors will also find historical demonstrations: blacksmithing, weaving, and broom-making. These

priceless demonstrations make for a fascinating and indelible education in history for both children and adults.

Tickets are required for camel rides, pony rides, and a 19th-century carousel and bounce houses.

Eats for sale include Long Island Fair signature sandwiches, giant turkey legs, roasted corn, spiral potatoes, corn dogs, fresh baked cookies, chicken wings, deep fried twinkies and more.

Activities that are new for 2018’s Fair include Team Rock Ninja Experience, and Loop Rawlins One Man Wild West Show.

Baseball fans can enjoy the end-of-season matches of OBVR’s Old Time Baseball League, which recreates “baseball” as it was played in the latter half of the 19th century.

The Long Island Fair is the New York Staterecognized county fair for Queens, Nassau and Suffolk, and involves the cooperation of the Nassau County Department of Parks, Recreation

and Museums and the Agricultural Society of Queens, Nassau and Suffolk Counties.

Thousands of exhibits are entered every year in friendly competition, with blue ribbon categories including livestock, flowers and vegetables from farms and home gardens, culinary, needlework, hobbies, and a junior division for those 13 and younger.

The Long Island Fair was originally founded in 1842 when it was called the Queens County Agricultural Fair, This weekend’s hours are 10:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday.

Entrance fees are $15.00 for adults, $13.00 for children (5 to 12) and seniors 60 & up. Children 5 and under and Active Military Personnel are Free.

Old Bethpage Village is located at 1303 Round Swamp Road in Old Bethpage. For more information, call 516.572.8401 and visit www.lifair.org.

Raynor grew up in Uniondale and attended its schools, a springboard to attending Spelman College and obtaining a master’s degree in industrial psychology from Hofstra University.

Raynor is challenging 30-year incumbent Earlene Hooper for the Democratic nomination in the September 13th primary, a contest that will determine the ultimate winner for this overwhelmingly Democratic district.

Open to entering freshmen enrolled full-time in any engineering degree program at Manhattan College in Riverdale, NY, Mr. DeSimone, a Carle Place High School graduate, applied for and was awarded this coveted annual scholarship based on his academic credentials and extracurricular activities.

NSWCA President and

Westbury Water District Commissioner Vincent Abbatiello presided over the ceremony and stated, “This annual scholarship honors the memory of the late Nicholas J. Bartilucci, a towering figure in the Long Island water industry who passed away in 2016.

Merrick Welcomes Back Faculty To kick off the new school year, the Merrick School District welcomed back faculty and support staff, including those new to the Merrick schools.

Veteran faculty members were recognized by their respective building principals, and those with 25 years of service or more were also congratulated by Superintendent of Schools Dr. Dominick Palma.

“Each year is different, each year is better and we are the luckiest

people in the world,” said Dr. Palma, participating in his 30th opening day as an educator. “Every day will be [hard] work, but we are surrounded by children who allow us to pause from whatever challenges we have going on in our heads…and make us better people every day.”

Board of Education President Sigal Negrin also thanked the faculty and staff for all that they do for Merrick students, including the

custodial and maintenance staff for getting the schools in wonderful shape for the start of the school year.

“The community at large may never be able to express its thanks for all that you do for our children,” Negrin said.

“You are the most integral part of our community.

The board of education and district are here for you, and will be there for you this year and beyond.”

Learning at Newbridge Road Third-graders at Newbridge Road Elementary School in the North Bellmore School District began in the new year by spending some time getting to know each other. Although they are in three classes, the students will have common learning experiences throughout the year.

On Sept. 7, thirdgraders gathered in the auditorium for a STEAM activity, which focused on science, technology, engineering, the arts and math. Students worked in small groups to “Save Fred.” They had to figure

out how to get the gummy worm Fred from his boat (a plastic cup) to his life preserver (a gummy ring) without falling into the water (the table). Children could not touch any part of the setup with their hands and could only use paper clips to make the transfer.

Every group included at least one student from each thirdgrade class so students could bond with other peers in their grade. The activity required problemsolving and critical thinking skills, so the children had to share their ideas about the best way to

Save Fred.

The students also participated in a connection activity in which each child shared a fact about his or her summer vacation.

If another student could make a personal connection, they would link arms. Additionally, all students signed a “Make This An Awesome Year” banner.

Eighth Grade Science Star

NASSAU ZONE 1 - NEIGHBOR NEWSPAPERS - WEDNESDAY SEPTEMBER 19, 2018 • www.southbaysneighbor.com

Tyler Bissoondial, an eighth-grader at Grand Avenue Middle School in the Bellmore-Merrick Central School District, was recently chosen as one of the three hundred semifinalists in the Broadcom MASTERS competition.

Bissoondial conducted his research project as a seventh-grader, under the guidance of science research teacher, Tami Cruz.

“Tyler is a very hardworking and talented student who is always willing to help his peers,” said Cruz.

His project is “MicroRNA-156 regulates gametophyte to sporophyte development and sensitivity to salinity

in Ceratopteris richardii.”

In his research, Bissoondial investigated the mechanisms by which salt stress affects the fertility of plants.

He demonstrated that changes in the level of specific molecules, called microRNAs, can affect development and fertility of plants, especially during salt stress. Understanding the mechanisms by which plants respond to salt stress can help develop strategies to improve fertilization and crop production.

He was nominated to participate in the national Broadcom MASTERS competition after winning first place in the regional Long Island Science and Engineering Fair in March.

Jonas E. Salk’s New Asst. Principal

This is the second consecutive year Bissoondial has received this nomination to participate in Broadcom MASTERS, and his first time selected as a semifinalist.

“I couldn’t be prouder of Tyler’s work and Ms. Cruz’s mentorship throughout the process,” added Principal Carlo Conte.

The Levittown Public Broadcom MASTERS is the nation’s premier Schools is pleased to science, technology, announce the appointment engineering and math of Amy O’Grady, new (STEM) competition for middle school students.

Thirty finalists will be announced on September 18th.

assistant principal of Jonas E. Salk Middle School.

O’Grady follows previous Jonas E. Salk Middle School Assistant Principal Patrick Mulligan, who retired at the end of the 2017-2018 school year.

An East Atlantic Beach resident, O’Grady is a long time member of the Jonas E. Salk family where she has been an English teacher for the past 18 years and was the English department chairperson for four years before the

restructuring of district administration. She enters the assistant principal role with a wealth of knowledge, having earned a bachelor’s degree in English Literature/Writing at Marist College and her master’s degree in Secondary Education at CUNY Queens College.

New Levittown Assistant Principal

The Levittown Public Schools is thrilled to announce the appointment of Milton Josephs, the new assistant principal of Abbey Lane Elementary

School and East Broadway Elementary School.

Josephs was previously an assistant principal in the New York State Department of Education for two years.

Originally from the United Kingdom, he now lives in Port Washington.

Josephs received his undergraduate degree in business studies and human resources from the University of North London and his masters degree in elementary and special education from Queens College.

In addition, he holds an administration certificate from Stony Brook University.

“I am most looking forward to being a part of a dynamic and high performing school district with a local community feel, where I can make a difference in every child’s life and support every teacher to be the best they can be,” said Josephs.

Three Simple Tips (NAPSI)—Moving season is officially under way. The average person will move around 11 times, yet not many will rethink the moving process. Here are some tips to update your approach: • Restyle Your Move— Don’t repeat tired mistakes from your old home in your new one. Watch online moving makeover videos featuring TV designer and makeover expert Libby Langdon at CableMover. com. They demonstrate

the right way to pack household objects such as dishes, photos, rugs, books and plants and also explain how to arrange these objects in your new home to achieve a fresh designer look.

• Free Online Guide— Since every move is unique, you should look for a guide like the CableMover guide that features timelines and checklists that can be customized to your needs.

You can get information on moving supplies, design

tips, home security, phone and Internet service, moving with kids or pets or moving an elderly loved one. You can even get quotes from movers.

• Moving Hacks— Staying connected is key to getting settled in. It’s easy to set up your Internet, TV and phone service in advance, with help from CableMover, so you’re already connected when you move in.

The Levittown Public Schools is pleased to welcome Dyanne Case as the new assistant principal of Gardiners Avenue Elementary School and Northside Elementary School. She previously served as a reading specialist in the district for five years.

Case, a Port Washington

resident, has been a teacher for 24 years, teaching in a variety of areas. She began her teaching career in the New York City Department of Education in Brooklyn where she was a fourth grade classroom teacher, a second grade classroom teacher, a social studies cluster teacher and finally, a reading specialist. Case then served as a reading specialist for eight years in Hempstead before arriving in the Levittown Public Schools as a reading specialist. In addition, she is currently an adjunct professor at Queens College in the elementary education department.

Prior to her experience in the classroom, Case

attended St. John’s University where she earned her bachelor of science in elementary education.

She then received her master’s degree in Literacy and her professional diploma in Administration and Supervision. Case is excited to be staying in Levittown and taking on the role as assistant principal.

“I have many goals as an assistant principal, but my one main goal is to be here for the teachers so that together, we can help our students succeed,” she said.

Prevent Isolation As You Age! (NAPSI)—Did you know that an estimated one in five adults over age 50 are affected by isolation? This is a problem, as research has shown that prolonged isolation can be as bad for you as smoking 15 cigarettes a day—and these negative health consequences of chronic isolation may be especially harmful for older adults.

Here are some suggestions to combat the problem of social isolation and loneliness: • Nurture and strengthen existing relationships; invite people over for coffee or call them to suggest a trip to a museum or to see a movie.

• Schedule a time each day to call or visit someone.

• Meet your neighbors.

• Don’t let being a nondriver stop you from staying active. Find out about transportation options.

• Use social media to stay in touch or write letters.

• Stay physically active.

• Take a class.

• Revisit an old hobby.

• Volunteer.

• Visit a senior or community center to see what’s going on.

• Check out faith-based organizations’ groups and events.

To connect to aging services and programs in your area:

Contact the Eldercare Locator, a public service of the U.S. Administration on Aging, a part of the Administration for Community Living.

This nationwide service is a trusted gateway to connect older adults and their caregivers with local resources for older adults.

in U.S. News and World Report, titled, Teachers Are the Key to Quality Education, “A child’s first five years are the most critical for neurological development, with their brains forming more than one million neural connections per second.

This is the time when the foundation is built for future success.” The article goes on to say, “This is why access to early childhood education programs and to quality early educators matters so much.”

A Washington Post article dated January 19, 2016, questions, “Is kindergarten the new first grade?” The article boldly asking, “Is Kindergarten the new first grade?” and stating, “It’s been years since academics came to dominate kindergarten, as the importance of standardized tests grew in the No Child Left Behind era.”

The Toddler Arts & Crafts Program is 8 weeks in duration, and residents who sign their toddler up for the program must choose one class per week, per child. Classes will take place on Wednesdays at 10 am (two year olds only) or 11 am (three and four year olds) from Wednesday, September

Oyster Bay Town Supervisor Joseph Saladino announced today that the Town will offer a Toddler Arts & Crafts Program throughout the fall. This 8-week program will be held at the Town’s Oyster Bay Ice Skating Center Community Room, and is open to children ages 2 through 4. Registration begins September 10th, from 9:00 am to 3:30 pm, at the Town’s Parks Department Recreation Office in Town Hall South, at 977 Hicksville Road, in Massapequa.

“This program is a wonderful way to help support your toddler’s development through nurturing their artistic expression,” Supervisor Saladino said. “The Town’s Toddler Arts & Crafts program has proven to be an extremely popular one here in the Town, and I urge those who wish for their toddler to participate to come down and register beginning Monday, September 10, as this 8 week program fills up quickly on a first come first serve basis.”

There is much evidence to support the importance of preschool socialization and learning in 2018.

According to a September 3, 2018 article

can be set to exercise weekly and can even send the homeowner updates using a service like Mobile Link™ about its successful exercise, change in status or low battery, as well as maintenance reminders or fault alerts. Unlike portable generators, home standby generators need to be professionally installed and sized to fit the home, so homeowners should allow for an installation process.

National Preparedness Month, Generac Power Systems reminds users that they should check and run their generator and even refresh the tank of gasoline to be ready for the season. Additionally, Generac advises on portable generator safety: These units need to be taken outside and kept 25 feet away from an opening to the home to keep carbon monoxide fumes outside.

Home standby generators: The permanent backup power supply When outages happen, the home standby generator is the automatic solution. A unit like the Generac Guardian plumbs into the home’s existing natural gas or propane line, turning on automatically when utility power fails.

These generators are installed just outside the house like an airconditioning unit. They

Is backup power supply an option?

Two basic options exist for homeowners: portable generators and home standby generator systems.

Both solutions can keep the house lights on, appliances working and, in the event of a weather-related power outage or other emergency, will keep the home the safest place to ride out the storm. Understanding the differences and capabilities between these two options makes selecting the best backup power plan much easier.

Portable generators: An instant but temporary backup power supply Portable gasoline generators are available at just about any home improvement retailer and work well as a quick solution to roll out during an outage. Generally, a portable unit is low maintenance, but during
