What if there was a dental plan for only $99 a year that could save you half off your dental bills and had over two thousand dentists to choose from in New York?

who do not have access to standard dental coverage through work with a discount dental plan that has more than two thousand great New York dentists to choose from, and discount fees on all dental work that can save members an average of half off their dental costs.

Mirman adds, “EDP Dental Plan has been providing this type of coverage to thousands of Long Islanders for over 10 years. There is no reason to pay full price for dental care now that EDP Dental Plan is available to everyone, regardless of age or employment. With just a cleaning, exam and x-ray, you will save more moeny than the plan costs for the entire year.”

PLAN IN ADVANCE TO PROTECT YOUR FAMILY AND PRESERVE YOUR ASSETS.

Used to be, if you wanted to get in touch with someone, you picked up the phone and called.

If you couldn’t reach them immediately, you left a message – either on an answering machine or with another person associated with them – and then waited patiently for a return call. Tedious, right?

So why is it that, these days, with every gadget and method of communicating imaginable, it seems more difficult than ever to actually, you know, communicate?

Between cell phones and texting and social media, there are more ways to reach friends and family – and even complete strangers – than ever before. Everyone has at least one gadget easily accessible at all times, and yet how often do you find yourself waiting hours (or days) for a response? That is, if one ever comes.

It seems odd to think that communication could almost be made too easy, but that is precisely what has occurred. With the constant influx of e-mails, texts, photo and video messages, Facebook and Instagram notifications

and, oh yeah, actual missed calls and voicemails, I suppose the easiest course of action for some is to simply “ignore all” and move on.

Too bad there are those of us on the receiving end of that dismissive approach – people who, for all our technology and gadgets, actually yearn for that human connection in the form of a personal acknowledgement that said communication was received, processed, appreciated for what it was worth and responded to appropriately.

In a timely manner.

LICADD Named A Finalist LICADD has been named a Finalist in the Rising Star category in The 3rd Annual Long Island Imagine Awards. The Long Island Imagine Awards was created to offer formal acknowledgement to some of Long Island’s most effective and innovative nonprofit organizations.

Last year’s event attracted over 300 attendees from the nonprofit and business communities and an even larger crowd is expected this year.

Winners will be announced LIVE at the awards gala at the Crest Hollow Country Club on Tuesday, May 5th.

Nominated organizations, their constituents and the Long Island business community are expected to attend. More than 130 entries were submitted for consideration in 5 categories, including Innovation, Leadership Excellence, Social Entrepreneurism, Rising Star, and Social Impact.

LICADD is one of four finalists in the Rising Star

category.

“LICADD is thrilled to be able to compete for the Rising Star Award and grateful to the panelists who have thought us worthy of this prestigious award,” says Executive Director Steve Chassman, LCSW, CASAC. In the midst of the heroin crisis, LICADD continues to serve more than 1,000 individuals and families that are in crisis each month. As the crisis has grown so has the demand for our programs and services, more now than ever before.”

Finalists were chosen

by Long Island business professionals during preliminary judging.

Members of the Awards’ Distinguished Judging Panel selected the Imagine Awards winners from among the Finalists during final judging.

“Being named a Finalist in The Long Island Imagine Awards is an important achievement,” said Ken Cerini, Founder of the Long Island Imagine

Awards. “It means that independent business executives have agreed that the nominee is worthy of recognition for their innovation, leadership, entrepreneurism, and sustainability.

Congratulations to all of the Finalists on their achievement.”

Details about Long Island Imagine Awards and the list of Finalists in all categories are available at http://www. ceriniandassociates.com/ imagine-awards.

In 2011, the Firemen’s Association of the State of New York (FASNY) unveiled a historic educational initiative called the FASNY Higher Education Learning Plan (HELP). This statewide community college tuition reimbursement program is geared towards recruiting and retaining volunteer firefighters throughout New York.

FASNY announced a deadline extension - to February 20th - for firefighters to apply for the new 2015 semester.

“FASNY HELP has been a tremendous success and a vital initiative for fire departments to boost their recruiting of the next generation of firefighters,” said FASNY President Robert McConville.

“HELP funding comes from our federal SAFER grant, which has driven recruitment initiatives throughout the state.

We urge all interested students to sign up, and apply for this tuition reimbursement program before the February 20th

deadline.”

Under FASNY HELP, an individual who hasn’t already achieved a college degree, or has not taken 80 or more college credits, is eligible for up to 100% tuition reimbursement in exchange for maintaining good grades and fulfilling service requirements in one of New York’s volunteer fire companies. There is no restriction on the type of academic course(s) that the FASNY HELP studentvolunteer firefighter can pursue either on a fulltime or part-time basis.

Starting with the Fall 2013 semester, FASNY HELP was expanded to cover online courses taken through Empire State College.

FASNY HELP funds can be utilized for tuition costs incurred in the fall and spring semesters. Eligible student-volunteers must maintain acceptable levels of training and volunteer activity while attending school and fulfill a service requirement after they complete their course of study. They must attend

the closest community college or one within a 50-mile radius of their residence. Empire State College’s inclusion in the program has expanded students’ options.

Due to a variety of factors, many volunteer fire departments are experiencing the need to recruit and retain more members. Tuition reimbursement can be an effective incentive for people to volunteer in their local community.

The deadline to apply for tuition reimbursement for the new semester has been extended to February 20th.

FASNY HELP is made possible by a $4.2 million dollar U.S. Department of Homeland Security Staffing for Adequate Fire and Emergency Response (SAFER) grant awarded to FASNY. For more information on the FASNY HELP program, visit http://www. f a s n y. c o m / r e s o u r c e s / fasny-help/

Plainview-Old Bethpage School District’s John F. Kennedy High School Senior Jungmin Lee recently received an appointment from the U.S. Military Academy (USMA) at West Point during a surprise visit from Richard Stiek, a USMA Admission Office Field Force Representative. Lee earned the unexpected visit through his outstanding achievement in academic and extra-curricular activities.

“We are extremely proud of our student Jungmin Lee, it is an honor to witness such a pivotal moment in his life,” said Superintendent Dr. Lorna Lewis. “Our mission is to provide students with the opportunities they need

for life after school. Lee is an example of a student who takes advantage of all our district has to offer and we are sure he will be very successful at West Point and beyond.”

Lee has demonstrated academic success throughout his high school career, which earned him membership in the National Honor Society, Business Honor Society, Science Honor Society and the Tri-M Music Honor Society. In 2015, Lee was named a Commended Student in the 2015 National Merit Scholarship Competition for his high scores on the Preliminary Scholastic Aptitude Test (PSAT). Other academic achievements include becoming a finalist in the

DECA regional business competition and named an AP Scholar for his high scores on Advanced Placement tests.

Lee demonstrates leadership qualities outside the classroom through his involvement in extra-curricular activities. Over the past few years, Lee has become an Eagle Scout, served as captain of the varsity swim team, Business Honor Society treasurer, orchestra treasurer, and a swim instructor for the Plainview Swim Club.

Lee is also a member of the Metropolitan Youth Orchestra, Metropolitan Model United Nations and the varsity tennis team.

Angel Ball Honoree Continued From 2 wants educators, families and professionals to know that sobriety at an early age is achievable and that it greatly enhances life’s possibilities. Miss Conner states, “It’s so important to understand that addiction is a family disease,” said Conner. “I experienced this firsthand within my own family. But I’ve also learned that through treatment and recovery you can break the cycle.”

LICADD is working feverishly to put a stop to

the increase in addiction and the tragedies that result from it. Children and families are being devastated and LICADD offers a solution with preventive education and support services to help break the cycle.

LICADD’s Co-Chair of the Angel Ball is Jay Matuk, Board Member and Principal at Cold Spring Harbor Junior/Senior High School. Jay has spent over three decades working in our public schools as both a teacher and building leader. For

the last nine years he has served as the Principal of the nationally ranked Cold Spring Harbor Junior/ Senior High School in Suffolk County. Mr. Matuk has presented at several statewide and national educational annual conventions and has facilitated workshops for Hofstra University and Queens College. Mr. Matuk is also an adjunct professor at the C.W. Post Graduate School of Education.

LICADD will mark 59 years of service to the Long

Island community with another spectacular gala at the Garden City Hotel featuring the sensational sound of the Joel Sikowitz Swing Orchestra. The event preparations begin on March 3rd, 2015 at the Angel Ball KickOff Celebration, held at Kellenberg Memorial High School hosted

by Rev. Philip Eichner, S.M. For twenty-eight years, this annual event has brought together parents, educators and leaders in government, law enforcement, and

the treatment field in support of LICADD’s programs.

LICADD’s Angel Ball is one of the nonprofit organization’s key fundraising events and organizers hope to raise more than $260,000 through sponsorships, ticket sales and onsite auctions/raffles. Tickets to this year’s Angel Ball are $500 and are available online or via phone at 516.747.2606.

With offices in Mineola, Ronkonkoma and Riverhead, LICADD conducts screenings, brief

interventions, referrals to treatment and relapse prevention services to individuals and families impacted by substance abuse. The agency also conducts evidence-based prevention programs, community outreach initiatives, a mentoring program for children of incarcerated parents and advocates public policy.

I have a deeply ingrained love for music, particularly listening to new things and looking further into the artists I find interesting.

Unfortunately, what I have noticed as a high school freshman is that I often struggle to find people to share discoveries with who are willing to explore new musical grounds. The general trend seems to be that young people don’t recognize music as a main focal point in their lives like past generations have. Instead, the idea of immersing oneself in this highly spiritual, universal experience is being practiced less, which is evidenced by many of my peers.

On countless occasions, my parents have recounted their time in high school with stories that can all be drawn back to a mutual appreciation for music.

SUBMITTED BY: LUKE KORZENKO LINDENHURST HIGH SCHOOL

Although not all friendships were rooted in their love for the same bands or genres (but many were), people could always find a way to relate to one another through this medium. When people my age find themselves without something to talk about, discussion about a new favorite tune is hardly ever even considered. It is easier to simply default to social media or other means of digital distraction to break the tension.

There is also an astounding lack of devotion to artists nowadays. With the advent of streaming services like Pandora and Spotify, individual songs are played on stations created by the user. Allowing unfavorable songs to be skipped and offering unlimited access to an endless list of tracks gives young people no reason to purchase a musician’s entire

album. To constantly browse through fragments of what is really a large cohesive work does a great disservice to the listener. In order to allow yourself to grow with the artist, you must see the whole picture.

This develops a story that can be interpreted differently for anyone and is what should drive people to become engrossed in other similar compositions. A fast paced society is creating a youth who undervalue music and cannot fully appreciate it.

We are neglecting many opportunities for expanding our knowledge of the world of music and are failing to forge lasting bonds with others within it. While this may be very disheartening, popular culture can embrace new ideas very rapidly, providing some hope for fully inviting music into our lives.

Freezin’ For A Reason Special Olympics New York and the Town of Oyster Bay invite you to join the hundreds of others who will be “Freezin’ For A Reason” on Saturday, March 21st, for the 2nd Annual Town of Oyster Bay Polar Plunge at TOBAY Beach.

Brave souls with warm hearts will run, jump, and dive into the chilly waters of TOBAY Beach to raise funds for the athletes of Special Olympics New York. All funds support Special Olympics New York’s programs and promote awareness of people living with intellectual disabilities in New York.

It’s easy to get involved!

Simply log on to our web site at www.polarplungeNY. org/tobay. From there you will be able to form a team,

invite your family and friends to join your team, create your own Personal Plunge Page and send it out to your contacts – all with a few clicks of the mouse!

Registration starts at 9:30 a.m. at TOBAY Beach; Plunge at 11:30 a.m.

“Many of our residents in the Town of Oyster Bay are used to seeing beautiful TOBAY Beach in the middle of the summer, but this event provides an enjoyable and charitable reason to begin the beach season early,” explained Oyster Bay Town Supervisor John Venditto.

“Participants will have an opportunity to prove their mettle and their compassion by diving into the chilly waters of TOBAY Beach to raise funds for the athletes of Special Olympics New York. Special Olympics

changes lives through the joy of sports and the Town of Oyster Bay is proud to partner with this outstanding organization to help make this event a success.”

This Polar Plunge will help to provide yearround sports training and competition in over 22 Olympic-style sports for more than 65,000 children and adults with intellectual disabilities living in New York, giving them continuing opportunities at no cost to them or their families.

For more information or if you want pictures from last year to accompany the story, please call Jennifer Cantone at 631.254.1465, ext. 204 or send an e-mail to jcantone@nyso.org.

Learning With A Flair Students at South Grove Elementary School, in the Syosset School District, learned all about the world’s diverse cultures, languages, games and foods on February 6th, when the school held its International Clusters day.

From traditional El Salvadorian dancing, to Indian board games, to Isreali currency and music,

the elementary school transformed itself into a virtual United Nations, as each classroom featured a different part of the world. Students moved throughout the different stations and took part in a number of arts and craft assignments aimed at exposing them to the world’s diversity.

Students and members of the community are invited to attend and experience the music of Mozart, Dvorak and Smetana during a world-renowned musical performance.

“We are very excited to host the North Shore Symphony Orchestra and provide our students with this wonderful experience,” said Plainview-Old

Bethpage Superintendent Lorna Lewis. “We always encourage students to pursue their musical talents and we hope this concert will inspire students to work even harder in their musical endeavors.”

This concert is part of a relationship the orchestra and POBJFK have built over a number of years.

In the past, PlainviewOld Bethpage students have attended master classes, the orchestra has accompanied the high school’s choirs and a number of students and alumni have performed with the orchestra. This

relationship allowed the district to expose students to professional musical performances and spark interest in music education.

Operatic Performance Members of Syosset High School’s chamber chorus and orchestra were joined on stage in partnership with the International Vocal Arts Institute (IVAI) for a special onetime performance of The Tragedy of Carmen, the popular opera by Georges Bizet.

Through the school’s fine and performing arts department and its 16year opera partnership with the IVAI, the students performed an abridged version of the opera on February 6th. The IVAI is a program run through the Metropolitan Opera House

that discovers and develops talented would-be opera professionals at a young age.

“This is perhaps our most advanced and significant joint endeavor,” said Michael Salzman, Syosset’s fine and performing arts coordinator. “The product was a true partnership between our school, students, and the talented artists at IVAI.” Current members of the IVAI program performed solos, while Syosset student musicians made up the chorus and orchestra.

The conductor was Paul Nadler, who is currently in

New York conducting four performances of The Merry Widow at the Metropolitan Opera. Maestro Nadler delayed his return home to Florida in order to direct the production of Carmen at Syosset.

Set in Spain, The Tragedy of Carmen is about a gypsy woman who suffers a terrible fate from a jilted lover. The Syosset Chamber Orchestra was directed

by Stephanie Merten. The Syosset Chamber Singers were directed by Kristin Howell. Both Howell and Merten are music teachers at Syosset High School.

Education Partner

Bethpage School District Superintendent of Schools Terrence Clark has been selected as one of 13 recipients of the 2015 Nassau BOCES Education Partner awards.

A respected member of the school community for almost 30 years, Mr. Clark was recognized for his dedication and support of

public schools. The success of Bethpage schools can be directly attributed to Mr. Clark’s longstanding rapport with students, parents, administrators, staff and the community as a whole. He attends many Bethpage events and takes pride in watching the students succeed.

He was appointed superintendent in 2009 and since then, Mr. Clark has overseen the introduction of Chromebooks to every student in grades four through nine, as well as the launch of programs such as Achieve3000. In 2013, Kramer Lane Elementary School was selected by the U.S. Department of Education as a recipient of the National 2013 Blue

Ribbon School Award and designated as an Exemplary High-Performing School.

In addition, the recent state assessments show that Bethpage students ranked in the top 15 of the county on all 12 assessments and third and fourth grades ranked No. 1 and 2 in the county on the ELA assessments.

Newsweek recently named Bethpage High School one of America’s top high schools, ranked No. 326 out of more than 26,000 schools.

Mr. Clark will be presented with the award at a ceremony in March.

The Sea Tow Foundation is accepting applications from non-profit organizations and boating agencies throughout the country to host a life jacket loaner program in their local area through a new grant from the Sport Fish Restoration & Boating Trust Fund, which is administered by the U.S. Coast Guard.

The Sea Tow Foundation is a non-profit, 501(c) (3) organization with the mission of promoting safe boating practices. To help promote life jacket use, the Sea Tow Foundation stocks more than 250 life jacket loaner stands nationwide

where boaters may borrow life jackets for free for a day of safe fun on the water.

The Sea Tow Foundation Life Jacket Loaner program has been funded through donations and grants since its inception in 2008. Since then, more than 28,500 free life jackets have been loaned to boaters through the program.

“Life jacket loaner programs are most often used by boaters who forgot to pack their own life jackets or decided at the last minute to invite a friend to go boating and didn’t have a life jacket that would fit him or her,” said Sea Tow Foundation

Take Back Day Held

Executive Director Gail R. Kulp, CAE. “These new life jacket loaner stations will be open in time for the 2015 summer boating season so that boaters around the country can have the opportunity to borrow a life jacket for a day out on the water.”

Life jacket loaner program applications now are being accepted through March 1st, 2015.

For more information on the Sea Tow Foundation or the grant project, as well as to download a copy of the application, please visit www.boatingsafety.com.

Pharmaceuticals have been detected at low levels in New York State waterways and Long Island’s shallow groundwater.

Adrienne Esposito, Executive Director of Citizens Campaign for the Environment said, “We are thrilled that DEC was able to provide this critical service, which benefits all Long Islanders and goes a long way toward protecting Long Island’s drinking and surface waters from pharmaceutical contaminants.

Giving health care facilities a safe and convenient pharmaceutical disposal option has already reduced the number of institutions flushing unused medications, and now participation in this program needs to be expanded and strengthened in the future.”

Participating facilities, made up primarily of nursing, extended care and rehabilitation centers, began storing unused and expired medications in October when they were first contacted by DEC. Environmental Conservation Officers (ECOs) then visited each of the 25 facilities this week to collect the stored medications and brought them to the Covanta Waste-to-Energy Plant in Westbury, which volunteered its services to incinerate the products.

Prescription drug take back efforts began in the last few years. Prior to these initiatives the normal disposal practice was to flush unwanted drugs. With technological advances in analytical techniques, it is now possible to detect very low levels of drugs in surface water and groundwater.

Some drugs pass largely unaltered through wastewater treatment plants and enter rivers and other waterways.

Drugs from heath care facilities, pharmaceutical manufacturing facilities and farms can also find their way into the water.

Flushed medications have been found in New York lakes, rivers and streams which can negatively affect the waterways. A nationwide study done in 1999 and 2000 by the United States Geological Survey (USGS) found low levels of drugs such as antibiotics, hormones, contraceptives and steroids in 80 percent of rivers and streams tested.

Medications adversely affect fish and other aquatic wildlife and increase the development of drug-resistant bacteria.

For more information on where you can dispose of unused or expired medications, visit DEC’s website at http://www.dec. ny.gov/chemical/63826. html#Long_Island.

Family & Children’s Association, Long Island’s leading human care agency is seeking volunteers for its new Friendly Visitors program set to begin in May. Family & Children’s Association serves nearly 9,000 seniors each year providing case management, financial counseling, health insurance counseling and other support services.

They will provide training and on-going support to volunteers enabling them to provide companionship

The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) collected over 52 boxes of pharmaceutical medications during the first DEC Long Island Pharmaceutical Take Back Day at healthcare facilities, DEC Commissioner Joe Martens announced today.

Twenty-five long-term healthcare facilities throughout Nassau and Suffolk counties participated in the program, which collects and responsibly destroys unused or expired pharmaceuticals.

“Health care facilities can produce large amounts of expired or unused medications and many have few options for disposal,” said Commissioner Martens. “The success of this collection by DEC is a positive step that will help to protect the environment by preventing medications from entering waterways. We are grateful to all the facilities that enthusiastically agreed to participate in this event.”

DEC received funding through the Environmental Fund for $150,000 to expand the program, which already exists in the New York City Watershed. The program is designed to reduce the amount of pharmaceuticals that are “flushed” by facilities and can end up in Long Island’s groundwater,
