waterfront stage with the backdrop of the Great South Bay in Fire Island Pines. Tickets for the festival are on sale now at dradance.org or by phone at 212.840.0770, ext. 229.

Global Institute Event the bar high, and we are looking forward to bringing in some of the brightest, boldest and most forwardthinking leaders – both domestic and international – in order to increase Long Island University’s profile as a leader in national security and global affairs.”

The 25-minute informal question and answer session, which included questions from members of the audience, addressed such topics as General Powell’s service to the Army during the Gulf War, how he handled troubled diplomatic relationships as Secretary of State, and the separation of church and state. Powell also had an opportunity to share his insight on the recent presidential election, President Trump’s budget proposal and the administration’s alleged ties to Russia, as well as how the U.S. and its allies can most effectively fight ISIS. Overall, Powell stressed the importance of diplomacy coupled with strength, emphasizing that building relationships and trust with other nations must play a vital role in

American foreign policy.

The crowd of more than 500 people-- which included LIU students and faculty, students from the United States Merchant Marine Academy, and members of the public – gave the General three standing ovations.

“Leaders like General Powell can help guide our University to expand opportunities for study and research and challenge our students to become the next set of visionary leaders,” said Kimberly R. Cline, President of Long Island University.

“The philosophy of innovation and entrepreneurial thinking is woven into LIU’s history, and our new Global Institute will help us to carry that tradition to the forefront of world affairs in the 21st Century.”

The Global Institute at LIU will host other prominent leaders throughout the year, such as President Bill Clinton, General (Ret.) David Petraeus, and former CIA Director and Trump Presidential Transition Team member, Jim Woolsey.

Open House Set Nassau BOCES Long Island High School for the Arts (LIHSA) invites all middle school and high school students with artistic talent, passion and ambition to its 2017 Open House on Saturday, April 1st, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

LIHSA is now accepting applications for the 20162017 school year.

Prospective students from across Long Island are welcome to tour the campus, meet with expert faculty and staff, and experience classes focused on their specific interests in the visual and performing arts. Talented teens can also find out about this year’s Summer Arts Academy, which runs from July 5th-August 2nd.

Attendees can join a theater improvisation skit, sketch in an art class, take a dance class, listen to a jazz performance and participate in much more to get better acquainted with LIHSA. During the Open House, parents of prospective students also have the opportunity to tour the facility and speak with faculty, guidance counselors, administration and staff.

Established in 1973, LIHSA is part of the

public education system and is paid for by local school districts. It offers specialized training and instruction to students interested in pursuing careers in dance, drama, filmmaking, instrumental and vocal music, theatre technology, musical theatre and the visual arts. The half-day program enables students to complete their core academic classes in their home high school and receive two and a half hours of intensive training in their chosen field of artistic study.

As part of their professional-level training, students regularly receive one-on-one access to experienced professionals working in the industry.

Students have recently benefitted from Master Classes and Workshops lead by pop-rock icon Billy Joel, actor and director Ralph Macchio, and principal Paul Taylor Dance Company dancer Michael Trusnovec, who is a LIHSA graduate, among others.

“We are incredibly proud of the instruction and experiences offered at the Long Island High School for the Arts,” said Dr. Robert Dillon, District

Superintendent of Nassau BOCES. “Each year, we look forward to our annual Open House to showcase the school’s programs, as well as the talent our students possess.

We encourage all students interested in pursuing the arts to come down and take advantage of this opportunity to learn how LIHSA can help you reach your dreams.”

Alumni of the school have gone on to develop successful careers in all arts fields. In addition to landing starring roles on Broadway, alumni have danced with national touring companies, illustrated for New Yorker magazine, designed successful swimsuit lines, and embarked on technical careers working for companies such as Cirque de Soleil and at landmarks such as Lincoln Center.

Graduates have also earned prestigious scholarships and grants to continue their education at some of the nation’s most highly esteemed colleges and conservatories, including the Juilliard School, Boston Conservatory, Cooper Union and the American Academy of Dramatic Arts.

The Global Institute at Long Island University (LIU) hosted its first event Thursday night, featuring General Colin L. Powell, USA (Ret.). Introduced by the Institute’s Chairman, former Congressman Steve Israel, Powell discussed his commitment to youth education programs throughout the nation, as well as his service as a four-star General in the United States Army and as the 65th Secretary of State (2001-2005).

“With the launch of this Global Institute, LIU will become a real leader in global affairs,” said Gen. Powell.

“The Institute will bring world leaders to the region, introduce new brands of strategic thinking and problem solving, and assist decision makers here in New York in deepening their understanding of international relations.”

“I can’t think of a better person to kick off the Global Institute at LIU than an American hero, General Colin Powell,” said Steve Israel, Chairman of the Global Institute at LIU. “Having a living legend as our inaugural guest sets

the festival began in 1995.

Through their generous support, Fire Island Dance Festival attendees have helped ensure that those in need throughout the New York area and in all 50 states, Washington, D.C., and Puerto Rico receive lifesaving

Evening’s Drape By: Joan Amato

Encroached upon by leaden clouds Nightfall swallows light Draws it below into infinity Rays acquiesce into evening shimmers Surrender to its endlessness as Shadows tug the day down into its Envelope of darkness Wrapped in the spirit of softness Illumined by the scattering of clouds Wanting to push through night’s passion Evening explodes into a kaleidoscope of hues The quarter moon vies with Venus at its side Appears slyly grinning its half smile Its brilliance rises again to break through Steely encumbrances of cloudy obscurity Deepened by the muted light of sundown as Brilliance outshines darkness at every corner.

In Times Like These By: John McGowan

In times like these When dissension looms Let’s put aside our differences And repair the gloom After all as a nation we are truly one We’ve done it before so let us shun The bickering, the anger and all the unrest And put our mettle to the the test By doing so we will unite Defending our freedom and doing it right.

All families throughout Nassau County are encouraged to attend Girl Scouts of Nassau County’s (GSNC) 8th annual Girls Go the Distance (GGTD) event at Old Bethpage Village Restoration.

This year’s GGTD will be held on Sunday, April 23rd, and incorporates a “Family Funday” theme that allows all participants to compete in a number of physical and mental challenge station activities to earn patches and prizes - all in an effort to support the Council’s Healthy Living Initiative programming.

All participating Girl Scouts will receive the Girls Go the Distance main patch, in addition to having the opportunity to earn up to three supplemental patches based on the number of challenges they attempt.

“We are so excited to

once again be promoting healthy lifestyles throughout our Council, but in a way that is new, interactive and can be shared with our families as well,” said Donna Ceravolo, Executive Director of the Girl Scouts of Nassau County. “This event is always a special day as we kick off the spring season with fresh air, challenges that will put our bodies and minds to the test, and an opportunity to socialize with friends new and old.”

This year, the girls and their families have the opportunity to participate in 12 Challenge Stations that include relay races such as a three-legged race, brain teasers such as magnetic horseshoes, and physical challenges such as the Tick-Tock Race the Clock Walk, where participants will be challenged the complete

a one mile walk around Old Bethpage Village Restoration Fairgrounds in less than twenty minutes. After completing challenges, all Girls will have the opportunity to earn three supplemental “rocker” patches, which each represent an aspect of Girl Scouts Healthy Living Initiative - body awareness, acquiring new knowledge/ skills and mindfulness.

Online registration is officially open through Friday, April 21st, 2017 at www.gsnc.org/funday. The participation fee for Girl Scouts is $25; Tag-Alongs $15; and Accompanying Adult $10. Participants have the option to pay for their registration fees directly online via credit card or offline via personal check or cash, or directly through online fundraising.

Family Fishing Festival The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) and Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation (OPRHP) will hold their annual Spring Family Fishing Festival on Saturday, April 1st, at Belmont Lake State Park.

“Freshwater fishing is an activity the whole family can enjoy, especially on Long Island,” DEC Regional Director Carrie M. Gallagher said. “The spring fishing festival at Belmont Lake State Park is an excellent way to kick off the fishing season and introduce the family to the sport. No license is needed to participate.

Festival visitors can learn about freshwater fishing opportunities on Long Island and local fishing clubs, try fishing for trout, participate in the casting contest, and more.”

Additional sponsors for the fishing festival include the Natural Heritage Trust, the Fisherman Magazine, and radio stations 106.1 WBLI and 102.3 WBAB. The festival begins at 10 a.m. and is free of charge.

Activities include open fishing, fishing instruction, fly casting demonstrations, and fish cleaning services.

DEC and a number of local fishing clubs will have a display and demonstration area, and participants are urged to try their hand at fly casting. Loaner rods and free bait will be available to participants throughout the day. The supply of loaner rods is

limited and participants are encouraged to bring their own fishing tackle if they have it.

Children’s activities also begin at 10 a.m. and include an inflatable slide (weather dependent), the “Spring Fling” casting contest, and hands-on educational displays by DEC’s Education Unit.

Children participating in the casting contest will have a chance to win prizes supplied by DEC’s I FISH NY Program, OPRHP, the Fisherman Magazine, and The Natural Heritage Trust.

To further encourage fishing in New York State, Governor Andrew Cuomo signed legislation in 2012 expanding the opportunity for free fishing clinics and allowing more New Yorkers to experience fishing for the first time with increased DEC free fishing clinics throughout the state. The Free Fishing Days program began in 1991 to enable more people to sample the incredible fishing New York State has to offer.

Governor Cuomo’s NY Open for Fishing and Hunting Initiative, under the 2016-2017 budget, provides $3 million for State land access projects and $4 million for hunting and fishing infrastructure.

The Spring Fishing Festival is a designated Free Fishing Event, so the freshwater fishing license requirement for anglers age 16 and older is suspended for this event.

The festival highlights

DEC’s spring (March and April) trout stocking program in Nassau and Suffolk counties. Prior to the festival, DEC and OPRHP will stock Belmont Lake with close to 4,000 brown, brook, and rainbow trout. Upper Twin Pond in Wantagh, Oyster Bay Mill Pond, Massapequa Creek and Reservoir, as well as 17 other Long Island lakes, will also be stocked with trout by DEC, providing excellent prospects for spring fishing in both Nassau and Suffolk counties.

This event will be held rain or shine. Call I FISH NY at 631.444.0283 or Belmont Lake State Park at 631.667.5055 for more information.

A vehicle use fee of $8 will be in effect. Parking is free for Empire Pass holders. The 2017 Empire Pass can be purchased at state park offices, online at http://nysparks. com/admission/empirepassport/ or by phone at 518.474.0458.

For more information about the festival, call I FISH NY at 631.444.0283 or visit DEC’s website at http://www.dec.ny.gov/ outdoor/44804.html.

After two successful years, nine yarn shops from Mattituck to Port Washington will be participating in the third annual Long Island Yarn Crawl from March 30th through April 2nd, 2017.

Over the course of four days yarn crafters - knitters, crocheters, weavers and spinners - are invited to participate in this self-guided tour of our Long Island yarn shops, which will have extended hours and special activities throughout the weekend.

It is a great way for crafters to explore what our local fiber community has to offer and meet other local yarn enthusiasts.

Participants are invited to either pick up their Long Island Yarn Crawl Passport from a participating store or download it from the yarn crawl’s website, and have it stamped as they “crawl” from shop to shop. Crawlers who collect stamps from all nine stores will be entered to win amazing prizes: the grand

prize, a $100 gift card from each of the participating stores; or second prize, over $400 of yarn donated by gold sponsor Knitting Fever. Participants who drop off a passport with fewer than 9 stamps will be entered to win a separate drawing. Further prizes will be announced as the yarn crawl approaches!

Special edition Long Island Yarn Crawl bags can be purchased at participating shops, or are available as a free gift with a $40 minimum purchase (while supplies last). Each store has specials planned and will have drawings for door prizes during the crawl. Details will be made available closer to the Yarn Crawl weekend here on our website: http:// longislandyarncrawl.com/ This year’s Yarn Crawl features shops from all over Nassau & Suffolk counties: • Altman’s Needlearts – Mattituck • Knit – Roslyn

• The Knitted Purl – Oyster Bay • The Knitting Cove & Yarn Shop – Port Jefferson • The Knitting Garden – Huntington • The Knitting Place – Port Washington • The Knitting Store – Oceanside • Long Island Livestock Co. – Yaphank • Sew What’s New & Yarn Too! – Islip Special thanks goes out to Long Island’s only yarn distributor Knitting Fever (http://knittingfever.com/) for helping make this event happen as our gold sponsor.

Also, as part of the weekend event we are encouraging participants to give back to the community by knitting or crocheting hats and blankets for preemies which will be donated to local Long Island Hospitals. More details can be found on our site: http://

Looking For Additional Income?

Proudly Serving The Community Since 1953! longislandyarncrawl.com/ charity-knitcrochet/ New this year: a mystery knit-along and crochetalong! Two cowls have been designed - one knit, one crochet - just for the yarn crawl. The patterns have been broken up into 9 sections, with one section’s instructions available at each store. Visit all the stores to collect the whole patterns! After the crawl, the patterns will be available on the crawl website as well as on Ravelry.

We hope that yarn crafters of all backgrounds will explore Long Island’s rich fiber community during the yarn crawl weekend and make connections with fellow crafters.

The different offerings and events at each shop are sure to provide crafting inspiration and ideas to all.

It will be a wonderful Long Island celebration for yarn enthusiasts and sure to be an event to remember.

Val & Sal Named

NASSAU ZONE 2 - NEIGHBOR NEWSPAPERS - WEDNESDAY MARCH 15, 2017 • www.southbaysneighbor.com

Syosset High School is proud to announce that Yash Samantaray is the Class of 2017 valedictorian and Benjamin Rhee is the salutatorian.

“Yash and Ben are two exceptional students who we have already heard much about,” said Principal Dr. Giovanni Durante. “In addition to being at the top of their class, they are very involved in their respective extracurricular activities and both have received numerous accolades to date. I’m sure there will be more great things to come from both of them and I wish them continued success in the future.”

Yash is president of the high school Mathletes team, a three-time letter winner with both the varsity tennis and badminton teams and a

violinist in the school’s chamber orchestra. He is also an executive board member and web designer for the National Honor Society, was an American Invitational Mathematics Exam qualifier, won gold and bronze medals at the Al Kalfus Long Island Math Fair, and was a semifinalist in the Siemens Science Research competition and a prizewinning scholar in the Regeneron Science Talent Search. He was also named a National Merit Finalist, National AP Scholar and Presidential Scholar candidate this year.

Ben serves as editor-inchief of the high school newspaper “The Pulse,” is senior class treasurer and vice president of Model Congress. He has reached the finals and semifinals

in National Chemistry and Biology Olympiads, respectively, along with being named a Regeneron prizewinning scholar and achieving multiple honors while participating in Mathletes. Ben is also a violinist with the school’s chamber orchestra, has served as concertmaster, is the Chamber Music Club president and was selected for All-National and AllEastern ensembles. He was named a National Merit Finalist and a National AP Scholar of Distinction.

Yash plans to major in material science engineering and is awaiting word from Harvard, MIT, Stanford and Yale, among others. Ben will major in biosciences and has been accepted to Harvard but has yet to make a final decision.

Four-Time Champ Congratulations to Syosset High School senior Vito Arujau who won his fourth New York State championship in wrestling, becoming only the second wrestler in Nassau County history and 10th in state history to achieve this accomplishment.

Vito’s 174-match win streak is a Long Island record and his 216-1 career record ranks among the best of all time. His only loss came against another four-time state champion who holds the state consecutive match streak record. He holds a record five Nassau County titles and won a silver medal

earlier this year at the Cadet World championships held in the country of Georgia.

He also finished first in his weight class at the Super 32 national competition held in Greensboro, North Carolina last October and is currently ranked No. 1 in the country for the 138-pound weight class and No. 5 overall pound for pound by Flo Wrestling, a leading source of wrestling news and rankings. Later this month Vito will take to the mat in Pittsburgh as a member of Team USA in the prestigious Dapper Dan tournament.

“Vito is an intelligent, dedicated and personable

young man. He is always quick on his feet, with sensible reactions in all the circumstances I’ve seen him in,” said Syosset head wrestling coach Mike Murtha of his threeyear captain. “He realizes that success can only be obtained through hard work and approaching each task with a positive attitude. He is a once-in-alifetime athlete to coach.”

Academically, Vito is also a high achiever with a 90 grade point average.

He will attend Cornell University this fall and wrestle for their team.

High Rankings Bethpage School District is proud to have had several high rankings included in the 2017 listing on Niche. com. Not only was Charles Campagne ranked No. 98 in New York with an overall A+ rating for public elementary schools, but Bethpage High School was ranked No. 74 in the list of Best Public High Schools.

The 2017 Best Public High Schools ranking is based on rigorous analysis of key statistics and millions of reviews from students and parents using data from the U.S.

Department of Education.

Ranking factors include state test scores, college readiness, graduation rates, SAT/ACT scores, teacher quality and high school ratings.

In addition, among the more than 8,000 school districts Niche.com ranks each year, the district as a whole ranked No. 48 in the entire state. Rankings are based on statistics, as well as millions of opinions from students and parents.

Included in this ranking is that Bethpage was ranked eighth of 582 school

districts for safety and No. 38 as one of the best places to teach in New York.

“These distinctions reflect the work of our entire school communitystudents, parents, teachers, staff and board of education,” said Superintendent of Schools Terrence Clark. “We are proud of the high quality education provided in Bethpage and appreciate that independent organizations like this recognize that our schools are great places for kids.”

Spring and Things By: Jamie Lynn Ryan

‘Tis the time of year when all become Irish for a day, in the honorary sense anyway, and partake in the various St. Patrick’s Day celebrations held across Long Island and New York City.

The funny thing is – well, perhaps more ironic than outright humorous – is that when my family and I traveled to Ireland several years ago, we were somewhat surprised to learn that those native to the Emerald Isle do not commemorate the occasion in even remotely the same manner as we do. In fact, the holiday takes on a far more religious tone, filled with pilgrimages to mountaintops to honor St. Patrick himself; a far cry from the drinking and parades which wind through most main streets on this side of the pond.

Speaking of Ireland, and travel, I certainly wish to do more of it, both here and abroad. Before our family trip, I had never been on a plane in my 30 years on this earth; nor, of course, had I bothered to apply for a passport. Old-fashioned road trips across the good old U.S. of A had never held much appeal due to my, shall we say, occasional tendency toward motion sickness during any car ride surpassing two or so hours. And so, at this point, my travels have extended ever so slightly north and south of New York, about halfway down the east coast – no further. And my passport, while it proudly sports that one stamp from Ireland, has remained packed away ever since. Unacceptable, I know.

And with that, a new season is on the horizon, although whether Mother Nature will

cooperate remains to be seen.

March has always been a notoriously fickle month, what with the remnants of winter storms to contend with, spring rains hovering overhead and blossoms waiting to burst forth from the trees. It is a time of beginnings, of growth, of shaking off the chill of the last several months to head out and feel the warmth of the sun as we explore the great outdoors. No need to pack a suitcase – just hop in the car and go, in any direction, and enjoy the beauty on this long island that we call home.

So, as you head out in your green attire this week, take a deep breath of fresh air and start planning some fun activities to see you through to summer. Spring may be a gateway to the season of sun and surf and sand, but it is pretty spectacular in its own right. Enjoy it.

Lubricate Moving Parts Regularly lubricating your vehicle’s moving parts such as door, hood and trunk hinges will not only prevent squeaking when you open or close them, but will keep them from wear or damage due to the constant movement and corrosion from wet weather.

Prevent squeaks and corrosion from building up in the future by using a water-displacement lubricant such as WD-40®

Multi-Use Product. The new WD-40 EZ-REACH™ can make this process easier with its attached 8-inch flexible straw that bends and keeps its shape.

Monitoring Tire Pressure If your car’s tire pressure is too low, you will wear out your tires more quickly and will get poor fuel efficiency.

Tire pressure gauges are inexpensive and an easy way to determine the pressure in your tires. Find your vehicle’s recommended PSI and

how to test it in the owner’s manual. Compare the number on the gauge with your vehicle’s recommended PSI and add or release air to match it. Do this regularly on all four tires.

Arm yourself with the right tools and you can save money by tackling easy car maintenance projects.

A-Wish Metro New York and Western New York. “The generosity of the Allstate agency owners helps bring the transformative power of a wish to local kids battling lifethreatening conditions. We cannot thank them enough.”

Allstate agents and employees have a proud history of putting their good hands to work in supporting New York communities, promoting volunteerism and providing financial resources to enable local organizations to help others. The Agency Helping Hands in the Community Award celebrates that spirit of service.

The Allstate Foundation awards more than $1 million every year to nonprofit organizations across the country in honor of dedicated Allstate agency owners who give back. To be eligible for nomination, Allstate agency owners must volunteer with, mentor or lead a nonprofit of their choice.

Allstate reminds Long Islanders that there are simple steps you can take today to get prepared for a disaster, including spending a few minutes to build a kit, create a household emergency plan, and help your community prepare, could be invaluable in the case of an emergency.

Ten Long Island Allstate agency owners recently received Agency Helping Hands in the Community Awards for their commitment to helping others. This award earned Make-A-Wish Metro New York a $10,000 grant from The Allstate Foundation.

The Allstate agents, whose offices are all located in Nassau County, teamed up with their staff and Allstate’s National Catastrophe team to volunteer at the 2016 Make-A-Wish Walk For Wishes® event at Eisenhower Park. As part of their efforts, the volunteers shared helpful information and resources for local families to build disaster preparedness kits. The kits included a hand-crank radio/flashlight, water bottle, dust mask, garbage bags and hand sanitizing wipes, among other items.

“Being able to prepare Long Island families for life’s uncertainties is truly an honor and a privilege that our agents were thrilled to be able to do, while teaming up with such an impactful organization like Make-AWish,” said Don Rubbo, New York Regional Sales Leader.

“Commitment to our communities is a natural extension of what we do every day – and to see the community and our agents come together for such an amazing cause was extraordinary. We were proud to team up with Make-A-
