Eyes On The Sky By: Jamie Lynn Ryan At this time of year, I usually write a column on the importance of appreciating Memorial Day for its intended purpose, to honor those who have served and sacrificed.

Too easily do we as a society become swept up in the “unofficial summer kickoff” mentality, of BBQs and pool openings and the beginning of beach season.

That said, there is one other Memorial Day tradition that I do truly enjoy, which mixes the significance of the occasion with some good oldfashioned fun in the sun. I am speaking of the Jones Beach Air Show, held each year on the Saturday and Sunday of Memorial Day weekend.

I’ve been attending the

show for the last seven years or so, enjoying the alternating featured performances of both the Thunderbirds and the Blue Angels. As a member of the press, I was even lucky enough to have the opportunity a few years back to meet and greet the Blue Angels’ pilots at an exclusive preview held at Republic Airport. What an extraordinary experience!

The great part is that the show never gets old. The camaraderie of sitting on the sand, eyes to the sky, with tens of thousands of fellow spectators is something special.

Over the last several years, I have endured everything from severe sunburns to shivering under layers of clothing, buried under my beach blanket… from breezing right in to a prime oceanfront spot to being

forced to park on the median of Ocean Parkway after sitting in traffic for hours.

Each year, no matter the conditions, I have been able to capture stunning photographs and, most importantly, to make happy, lasting memories with friends. Sure, it may be a frivolous, fun day at the beach; but ultimately, we are appreciating the grand spectacle of our military aircraft at its finest. It is a beautiful site to behold, one that everyone should make a point of taking in at least once in his or her lives.

This weekend, I plan to join the masses in making my way to Jones Beach once again – armed with sunscreen, and several extra layers of clothing – just in case.

Happy Summer to all!

IT ALL STARTS WITH A SEED SUBMITTED BY: ANNALIESE BRONZ, AGE 15, WEST BABYLON HIGH SCHOOL

It is in this very moment where we must take a stand for what we believe in - whether it be happiness, success, traveling, relationships or making a difference.

About ninety five percent of people lay dormant on their couch whilst helplessly gulping on their chips of potatoes. They allow life to pass them by, as if they’re going to live for an eternity. And we wonder why our lives are mundane.

There is something inside your heart calling out for you to accomplish. It begins with a firing desire, task planning and massive execution. Do not allow the time it will take or any naysayers to back you down toward their advantage points.

Why? Because every great outcome began as a microscopic vision. The vision proceeded by getting planted with soil, which took preparation. Next was water and nurturing and some sun - which denotes the action steps it

took to grow. A few months stroll by. The tiny seed transforms into an entity, astounded by others and blossomed to inspire others to aspire to do the same.

I believe we are here for a reason. To create, build, make and invent. We are artists. We create how we live day in and day out. You possess the paintbrush of change, possibility and creativity.

Part of other experiences occurring in our lives are inevitable; however, how we react is in our control.

When there are dark skies, there are the brightest of stars. When there are heavy rains, there are the most breathtaking of rainbows.

So, fellow reader, are you planting your seeds on mother earth - the place we call home?

Because our bodies are capable of anything. It is our minds we must convince. The resources required are directly in front of us: The natural sun, plentiful water and the soil by which our feet rests. It all starts with one, single seed.

Grant Received is complicated by substance use. Many of these veterans are experiencing serious mental health concerns including substance use disorders (SUD) posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), traumatic brain injury, depression and serious psychological distress (SPD).

Due to the challenge of engaging veterans, LICADD will work to increase awareness of the

M-FIT program to reach more veterans and their family members, expand partnerships and work towards removing the stigma associated with mental health needs in the military. Of the more than 700,000 veterans nationally, Long Island is the home to approximately 175,000. M-FIT is designed to build resiliency among returning service members and their families and to

help veterans cope with the stress and trauma of their service to our country for reintegration into their community and family life.

“We are so grateful to the Long Island Community Foundation for supporting this important program.

LICADD will continue to work with partner agencies to bring about increased support for our veterans mental health needs.” says Executive Director Steve

Chassman.

For over 59 years, LICADD has successfully delivered evidence-based programs designed to prevent and treat substance abuse and addiction.

Golf Outing Set On June 4th, Mercy Haven, Inc. will host its 16th Annual Golf Outing in an effort to raise critical funds for the agency which provides housing and support services to those who are homeless or living with mental illness.

Empire National Bank Vice President and Branch Manager Dorothy Overton, who serves as Board Chair for Mercy Haven, emphasized Empire’s commitment to community issues like those addressed by Mercy Haven. “Everyone deserves safe and dignified housing,” says Overton.

“Mercy Haven has been making it happen for some of Long Island’s most at-risk residents for 30 years.” She added, “The golf outing is a wonderful way to meet neighbors, network, and show support for one of the causes that makes Long Island a great place to live.” Empire National Bank has been the Tournament Sponsor since 2008.

This year’s outing will be held at Island Hills Golf Club in Sayville, NY. The allday schedule for Thursday, June 4th includes 9:30 a.m. registration, a breakfast buffet, 11:00 a.m. shotgun

On June 8th, Foundation for Sight and Sound will host its annual golf outing at Huntington Crescent Club in Huntington.

With an awe inspiring terrain, this event offers golfers the opportunity to experience a north shore masterpiece while having fun supporting a great cause!

Registration and breakfast starts at 10:30 a.m. Shotgun starts at 12 noon. Cocktails being at

5:30 p.m.

Stanley Shapiro had a great passion for life and in everything he did.

Always a philanthropic man, when his children were diagnosed with Usher Syndrome (retinitis pigmentosa & hearing loss), Stan along with his wife Fran, organized golf tournaments on Long Island for over 17 years, to benefit research. Over a million dollars was raised in the hope of finding

a cure for this genetic disease.

The event is not limited to golfers. The evening will conclude with Silent Auctions, Live Auctions, Chinese Auction, dinner, cocktails, guest speakers and most importantly, fun! To register your team and sign up for any part of the festivities, please visit http://bit.ly/1DoOYsM or email info@fssny.org.

Family & Children’s Association (FCA), one of Long Island’s oldest and largest human service agencies, is inviting Long Islanders to support their annual Summer Camp Appeal. For many families, the summer means free time, trips and camp for the kids. But, for the families served by FCA who are working one, two or even three minimum-wage jobs, the summer is difficult because they cannot

afford quality childcare to keep their children safe.

A summer spent alone, in front of the TV, can lead to summer learning loss which hurts these children when summer ends and they return to school.

FCA’s goal is to help 60 children by providing a $1,000 camp scholarship to families living below the federal poverty level.

According to President/ CEO Jeffrey L. Reynolds, Ph.D., “our wish is

that all children can be protected and nourished through a summer camp experience that stimulates and challenges them academically, physically and emotionally, and keeps them safe while their parents work. If you agree, then I hope you’ll visit our website and support our appeal!”

interest in the healthcare industry by introducing them to clinical and non-clinical career paths through hands-on experiences with a STEM emphasis.

Following the SPARK! Challenge experience, the students collaborated to produce a short video

documentary recapping their experience and what they learned about healthcare careers.

Approximately 30 teams and 500 students across Long Island, Queens and Staten Island participated in this year’s SPARK! Challenge.

Local residents gathered at Old Bethpage Village Restoration over the weekend of May 16th and 17th for a memorial service to honor all service men and women who gave their lives in the defense of freedom.

Tanks rolled across the encampment field as if it were the European countryside of 1945.

Ground forces took cover behind rolling tanks as they advanced towards enemy fire coming from a grey gun turret buried in the green countryside.

Gunshots rang out over shouted commands as soldiers descended and took over the enemy camp. Spectators got to

experience the intensity of field battle as is was during WWII. NY State Senator Michael Venditto took time to thank veterans for their commitment and dedication. He was also able to educate local youngsters about the difficulties servicemen and women had to face during war at that time. Visitors got a first-hand look at a fox hole, pop-tents, M8 and M20 tanks, a Daimler Ferret and Scout car in addition to other war memorabilia.

Most of the materials during WWII were made of cotton or wool and leather, lead to many times when the soldiers were

damp, wet, and chilled to the bone. Changing sock while trying to doge bullets became a skill that many soldiers had to learn.

Talking with veterans was very exciting as they retold stories of their years fighting for our freedom.

This event was made possible through the dedication of local veterans, service men and women, in cooperation with the Office of Nassau County Executive, Ed Mangano, the Nassau County Department of Parks and Recreation, the Museum of American Armor, Long Island Living History Association and the generosity of local sponsors.

Thought Provoking Reading

Burns Avenue Elementary School in the Hicksville Public School District welcomed an instructor from the Teacher’s College at Columbia University to speak to students and teachers about the importance of making connections while reading.

Students were taught to

use particular prompts to generate thoughts while reading a book. The lesson, entitled “Pushing Our Thinking About Reading,” encouraged students to consider connecting thoughts, including what the text makes them think about, why the text is important and examples in their lives. The students

then worked in groups to analyze specific texts.

The lesson was designed to teach readers to make the most of their books, and to provide additional methods for teachers to evoke students’ thoughts.

Dollars And Sense Plainview-Old Bethpage Central School District’s John F. Kennedy High School was recently ranked as a top performing school in the national “Working In Support of Education (w!se) Financial Certification Program.”

The Plainview students were recognized as some

of the highest exam scorers among students from hundreds of schools across 40 different states.

“We are very proud of these students who worked diligently to not only become financially literate, but also perform at a superior level,” stated Dr. Lorna Lewis, Superintendent of the

Plainview-Old Bethpage Central School District.

“We aim to encourage all our students to become more financially aware in preparation for their futures.”

The w!se Program provides teachers with a curriculum and instructional resources to educate personal finance.

The students take an exam to measure their level of financial literacy in pursuit of a certification.

Students learned how to approach their finances proactively, how to better handle and avoid debt and how to prepare for college and the global workplace.

The schools are ranked based on the percentage

of students who passed the test. Due to their high performance on exams, the students and teachers at John F. Kennedy High School received recognition as one of the top schools in the nation. The high school received a banner for their recognition during a ceremony at the New

York Stock Exchange.

For more information please visit the district’s website pob.k12.ny.us or the district’s Facebook Page facebook.com/ pobschools.
