Student Donations

Proudly Serving The Community Since 1953!

High school students in New York are helping maintain the community blood supply by donating 1,100 lifesaving units of blood so far this school year. Students have three more months left in the academic year to make a meaningful difference for hospital patients and aim to win a scholarship from the Bob’s Discount Furniture $250,000 High School Heroes Scholarship Program. The Bob’s High School Heroes Scholarship Program recognizes students who make exceptional contributions to the American Red Cross blood donation program in their schools, and helps encourage young people to become involved by helping patients in need.

High school students play an important role in supporting a sufficient blood supply.

Blood donations at high school and college blood drives

account for up to 20 percent of donations during the school year, which is why scholarship programs like Bob’s High School Heroes are important in ensuring blood is available to patients whenever and wherever it is needed.

Bob’s Discount Furniture has been partnering with the Red Cross for more than 18 years.

“High school students are inspired to roll up their sleeves to help patients, thanks to the Bob’s High School Heroes Scholarship Program,” said Kay Schwartz, CEO, American Red Cross New York-Penn Blood Services Region.

“The scholarship program helps the Red Cross make a difference in the lives of patients and empowers high school students to take a leadership role.”

“We’re impressed with how successful high school blood drives are so far and we challenge

students to finish strong in hopes of winning a scholarship this school year,” said Bob Kaufman, president emeritus of Bob’s Discount Furniture.

“Since this scholarship program launched in 2009, we’ve awarded nearly $650,000 to hundreds of students in Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Jersey and New York, and we look forward to awarding

students again this year.”

Kaufman knows the crucial importance of a sufficient blood supply.

Medical crises required two of his family members to receive many blood transfusions. He lost his father Leo Kaufman and his 16-year-old nephew Scott Mulready to leukemia. The Kaufman family is forever thankful for the extra time

Student Spotlight SHOULD PRO TEAMS BE HELD TO A HIGHER STANDARD THAN LITTLE LEAGUES? SUBMITTED BY: SAHIL KAPOOR, LINDENHURST HIGH SCHOOL

Every athlete or coach does his/ her best to win, to earn awards and to be famous. Some people might go farther than they should to achieve this goal.

Not only in little leagues or school teams do people cheat, but also in professional leagues.

There have been many cases where people have cheated to get what they strived for. Does this mean they should be stripped of their awards? What if it was the coach’s fault and not the athletes? Who should be penalized for it?

This year in the NFL, it has been alleged that the Patriots cheated their way into the Super Bowl.

They deflated the footballs so it was easier for the quarterbacks and the running backs to hold and the receivers to catch.

Every team member had to

have noticed the difference in the footballs, but yet no one did anything. An even bigger surprise is that the coach and quarterback denied any knowledge of it.

Did they get what they wanted?

Yes. The Patriots cheated their way into winning the Super Bowl.

This is not the first time they have cheated to win the Super Bowl.

First it was “Spy-Gate”; now it’s Deflate-Gate. However, they weren’t penalized for their actions.

They have kept their titles and enjoyed victory parades.

Yet, in the case with the Jackie Robinson West team, all the Little League athletes were stripped of their title. In that situation, the team “was stripped of its national title after an investigation revealed that team officials had falsified area boundaries. They did this

to add ineligible players to the roster.” (Newsday) In this case, the athletes couldn’t possibly have been aware of the fact that what the team officials did was illegal. Yet all their hard work had been for nothing. Every win they had was taken away from them.

So, why were these children stripped of their titles, but the Patriots got to keep their wins?

The Patriots’ wins were the biggest accomplishment in the football industry.

Why is it that the little leagues have been stripped of their title but the professional leagues haven’t? Even though cheating in the first place isn’t right, should the athletes be punished if it wasn’t their fault? That’s your opinion to decide.

Buddies By: Jamie Lynn Ryan On February 16th, my “half-birthday,” I decided the time was right to adopt another fish to join the family.

As of this writing, “Buddy” – as I dubbed my aqua-colored delta-fin betta fish – is adjusting quite nicely to life in his betta bowl.

He swims, he floats, he eats… although not when I’m in the vicinity. I literally found myself crouching down out of sight to see if he was, in fact, eating. Most fish can’t wait for that first flake to drop; Buddy, not so much. Perhaps he’s just self-conscious. But I finally caught him in the act, sucking down a betta pellet and – get

this – chewing it thoroughly.

I know, I know… fish don’t have teeth. But his motions mimicked a dog munching on a treat, breaking it down bit by bit until he had fully digested his dinner.

That’s my Buddy, pretty and quirky and providing some of the best entertainment this side of the aquarium since my dearly departed finned friends, Harry and Harvey. By all accounts, bettas have a much more substantial lifespan than your average goldfish, so let’s hope Buddy hangs in for a while. Of course, I suppose he could already be pushing 3 years old as we speak, so his longevity remains to be seen.

For me, the biggest test will

be the weekly water change / “bath time” process, that unwelcome disturbance of fishbowl tranquility that all marine life seems to detest.

Unfortunately for Buddy, he has no shrubbery or decorative toys to hide behind – yet. We’ll see if I can find something appropriate for his little underwater kingdom. For now, he’ll just have to deal with being on full display for all to see.

Hopefully, Buddy will still be flitting around come August 16th, and we can celebrate his “half-birthday” along with my “full” one. In any case, he now has a column to officially commemorate his arrival. Just what every fish wants.

On a cold day in January, Little Shelter went out on rescue. This is nothing new; they do it all the time.

But on this day, a very special rescue was made. This was the day that Betty and Wilma were given a second chance at life. Betty and Wilma are two senior Labrador mixes.

These two ladies were found wandering the streets by a local town shelter. They were aimlessly walking together, in the dead of winter.

285312N0225

Of course, Betty and Wilma aren’t their real names; we’ll never know their names.

Wilma and Betty weren’t wearing tags and they weren’t microchipped. They simply had to fend for themselves.

Wilma is a sweet, sassy Chocolate Lab; and best friend, Betty, is a lively and loveable Black Lab. These wonderful dogs are truly inseparable. Their kennels are right next to each other at Little Shelter, but of course, that’s not close enough. These girls whine and cry for each other and are just ecstatic when then have the opportunity to play together.

Betty and Wilma are happy-go-lucky and full of energy. They love people, adore each other and are a pleasure to be with. Because these ladies are so attached, Little Shelter is looking for a family to adopt both of them.

If you have room in your home and your heart for Wilma and Betty, please call or stop

by Little Shelter.

Little Shelter is located at 33 Warner Road in Huntington. Call 631.368.8770, extension 21, for more information, or stop by the Shelter during business hours, 12:00 noon to 5:00 p.m. on weekends and 1:00 to 7:00 p.m. on weekdays.

to continue their journey and reintegrate into the community armed with the coping skills to manage everyday stressors and the pressures of everyday living.

The advocacy effort pressed on to address early prevention through education.

“Schools need access to funds to provide earlier education for increasing protective factors for children at-risk of developing substance abuse issues,” says Teri Kroll, LICADD’s PUSH coordinator. “Encouraging grass roots community partnerships to provide these services is an effective and low cost solution to a growing problem,” added Steve Chassman, LCSW, CASAC. Senator Phil Boyle, who headed up the Heroin Task Force in 2014 was in attendance. The task force hosted 18 forums across the state, had over 2,300 attendees, and listened to over 60 hours of testimony.

The information and insights from the Task Force resulted in crafting 23 pieces of legislation.

On February 10th, LICADD gathered a group of friends to travel to the state capital in Albany to advocate for families and individuals who are in recovery and who need to be in treatment.

The topics of discussion revolved around sober home regulation and early prevention through education.

“Sober homes currently are not regulated,” says LICADD Executive Director Steve Chassman, LCSW, CASAC who sits on the Suffolk County Recovery Home Oversight Committee. “In order to have an effective and inhabitable sober home there will need to be standards and practices that meet best practices and protocols.”

What is a sober home?

A sober home is where individuals live after intensive treatment. They move into a home that is safe and free of drugs and alcohol and where they can embrace recovery. This supportive environment provides aftercare and a safe haven for individuals to take the steps needed

Fifth-grade students throughout the Bethpage School District are participating in the Be An Expert program.

New this year, it asked all fifth-graders for their top area of interest and then recently supplied each student with a backpack full of books on that

subject. In February, Sen. Hannon, who supplied grant monies that were used to purchase all the books, visited each fifthgrade class at Central Boulevard School to speak with the kids and assist in handing out the backpacks that contained the books for this program.

Students will complete a culminating project in their area of interest and high school peers are planning to stop in and learn from the “experts” on their topics.

Robbins Lane Elementary music teacher Dr. Catherine da Silva and her Chorus sang the joy-filled Happiness from You’re A Good Man Charlie Brown, and then performed Don’t Worry Be Happy, and the 2014 Song of the Year, Happy, both with two-tone gloves and full choreography.

Virtual Classes Offered Schools across New York State are working to implement the changes made to Part 154 of the state regulations on programs for English language learners. Long Island districts now have assistance in navigating these changes, thanks to Nassau BOCES.

The Nassau BOCES Center for Online Learning is inviting educators to join its collaborative support network, “Examining and Implementing the New Part 154 Regulations.”

Educators who participate in this collaborative get a four-week virtual

course, guiding them in the implementation of the new regulations. The course offers video-based instruction enhanced by downloadable support materials.

The truly unique aspect of the program is a virtual forum, enabling administrators and other

educators from all over the island to come together and pool their resources.

The forum functions as an online collaborative for educators to share best practices and useful documents, as well as 0to discuss potential obstacles and solutions, and to work together

to overcome common challenges.

“We’re building a community to support the implementation of the new regulations,” says Nassau BOCES Program Coordinator Elisa Barilla.

“Collaboration is the key component. The forum allows districts to work

together, to help each other to avoid stumbling blocks, and to share what works and what doesn’t.”

Be Happy Pleasure is Nature’s test, her sign of approval. When man is happy, he is in harmony with himself and with his environment.

Christine Little baby girl of mine Been waiting for you a very long time Doc says, “Mrs., she’s a beauty” “Of course,” I reply Can’t be any less then mama’s little cutie And so it begins This arduous and awesome journey Through years of laughter, hugs and, at times, sorrows There you are, always striving for the best in all your tomorrows As I pick up the phone I’m reminded of a milestone “Mom, it’s my 50th birthday and we’re having a party” The sound of her voice, so full of life So hale and hearty I close my eyes and there you are Wrapped in my arms My first born Mommy and Daddy’s shining star

At long last, you have a niece of your own To cherish and love long after she’s grown Upon your heart, you will feel the lifelong effect Of having a special person to hold dear and protect Natural are the celebrations for every “first step” As if she was your own, idly unfruitful, you accept Thus your family will grow, as new branches are added Making stronger the bonds, and the love “maxi padded” Never break any branches, God’s wish it shall be To ensure the continuous and prolific family tree

Syosset High School student Georgia Gardner spent a month of her summer vacation volunteering in a remote native Alaskan village as part of an innovative adventure travel program.

As a part of VISIONS Service Adventures, Gardner joined a group of high school students doing volunteer projects while

living in an indigenous Athabasca village in the Tetlin National Wildlife Refuge. About 100 people live in the village, situated on the Tetlin River.

As part of her service, Gardner helped build an outdoor cooking facility for use at community events, a project that involved clearing and leveling ground, measuring and cutting lumber, digging postholes, placing and securing post beams, erecting and staining walls, framing the roof and installing screens and windows.

Other services the teens provided to Tetlin included moving an outdoor community basketball court, assisting community elders with

chores and small projects, and organizing a small day camp for local children.

While volunteering their time, Gardner and her colleagues also took the time to backpack and ice-climb while learning about Athabasca culture, view wildlife and tour an old mining town.

VISIONS operates similar volunteer travel opportunities all over the world, including Cambodia, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Peru and Nicaragua, well as domestic rural or Native American experiences in Mississippi and Montana.

(NAPSI)—For many, the answer to a financial dilemma can come from asking the right questions.

To help, a public interest organization has come up with four quarterly booklets, with worksheets and self-assessment information, for those considering personal loans.

The first, “Understanding Personal Loans,” helps potential borrowers find answers to six important questions: • Is a personal loan for

me?

• Can I afford a loan?

• What happens when I apply?

• What happens if I’m late with a payment?

• What terms should I understand before taking out a loan?

• Which laws protect me?

This financial literacy initiative that aims to educate the more than 30 million underbanked households in the U.S. about short-term, small-

dollar loans was launched by the American Financial Services Association Education Foundation.

The materials are online at www.afsaef.org/ personalloans101. Printed versions are available from the American Financial Services Association Education Foundation, 919 Eighteenth Street, NW, Suite 300, Washington, DC, 20006-5517; (202) 466-8611.

Understanding Small Loans

Raising Funds For Research The St. Baldrick’s Foundation, a non-profit organization dedicated to raising money to fund the most promising research to find cures for childhood cancers and give survivors long and healthy lives, has issued a lofty challenge to everyone who wants to help raise money for pediatric cancer research: Be a hero for kids with cancer by shaving your head in return for pledges of financial support from family and friends.

Participants find that shaving their heads in solidarity with the approximately 160,000 children who are diagnosed with cancer each year and frequently lose their hair as a result of treatement, is a small sacrifice in comparison to what these children endure.

On Saturday, March 7th, volunteers will shave their heads to help Conquer Kids’ Cancer! The event will be held locally at Johnny McGorey’s in Massapequa

Park, at 1 p.m. The headshavings will commence at 2 p.m. They will also be raising money through raffles that have been donated by very generous merchants and friends.

This year, the event will honor Maya Annunziato and Colin Conaty. It is the hope that stories of these children give others the courage and hope to live and love each day in all ways.

Maya, a 5 year-old Massapequa resident, has been battling Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia.

Despite all that she has been through, Maya remains a happy and loving child. She has

shown incredible strength and bravery each day during her fight with cancer. As of June 2014, Maya has finished her treatment and is cancer free!

Colin, a 9 year-old Massapequa resident and St. William the Abbot student, was diagnosed with an ependymoma.

After countless surgeries and tests, Colin’s tumor was removed. Colin is in remission for six years.

His 9 year-old joy and wonder consumes him and touches others.
