of administrators. Principal Nicole Schnabel, assistant principals Melanie Judson and Alex Mantay, and Executive Director for Humanities Dr. Robert Drysielski asked questions about their previous leadership experiences and why they would be a good fit for the roles they were seeking. Students had to bring resumes and dress professionally. After the leaders were chosen, other students from the class interviewed to join different departments including accounting, human resources and marketing. Throughout the course, students develop relevant skills such as communication, critical thinking, innovative thinking, money management and problem-solving. Ms. Heller said that students will perform duties of their real-world counterparts. Members of the accounting and finance team develop a budget and keep balance sheets. The marketing department makes brochures and fliers to promote the product. In January, students will attend the New York State Regional Business Plan Competition and Trade Show at LIU Post. They will present their business plan and also have a booth on the trade floor. Using the fictitious money they earn as employees in their class business, students can visit the tables of other high schools and buy products while also aiming to sell their app to others. Senior Nick Troisi, the chief marketing officer, said he enrolled in the Virtual Enterprise class because he wants to go into a career in finance. “This class benefits me and gives me a little more experience,” he said. Junior Angelina Catalfomo, vice president of human resources, hopes to own her own event planning business in the future and said taking Virtual Enterprise has already been very worthwhile. “It gives me a big, clear picture of what a real business will look like,” she said.

A Local Massapequa Company

It may be a fake business, but students at Seaford High School are gaining real-world skills in the new Virtual Enterprise course. As they participate in a yearlong simulation, participants explore multiple facets of the corporate world while developing competencies that will help them in any future profession. The course, taught by Laura Heller, enhances an already robust business education program at Seaford High School. It began with teambuilding activities before students pitched concepts for the class business. After narrowing it down to five ideas, and then three, the class came up with a company that developed an app to connect people in a local area who want to go to the gym or do fitness activities together. Students interested in leadership positions, such as CEO, CFO and vice presidents, then interviewed with a team

Key West: Where the Road Ends and Paradise Begins By Kerry Mastrobuoni

ome destinations impress us with their beauty; others win us over with their food, culture, and people. For me, Key West checks all those boxes. I keep returning, drawn by the turquoise water, colorful characters, and carefree spirit that seems to exist nowhere else quite like it. Key West isn’t just a destination. It’s a feeling.

Further along, stop at Robbie’s Marina in Islamorada where you can handfeed the enormous tarpon gathered beneath the dock. It’s unforgettable entertainment, but watch those fingers! We learned that lesson the hard way. Arriving in Key West feels like entering another world. This tiny island, just four miles long and one mile wide, is actually closer to Cuba than Miami. Its history was shaped by shipwreck salvagers, Cuban cigar makers, fishermen, and free spirits. It also became a haven for writers. Ernest Hemingway found inspiration here in the 1930s, and you can tour his former home, now famous for its colony of six-toed cats. Playwright Tennessee Williams made the island his longtime home, while one of my favorite poets, Robert Frost, also spent time here in the winter months. Perhaps they were all drawn to the tropical light and warm sanctuary that make Key West so unforgettable.

Great food is another part of the island’s personality. Latitudes on Sunset Key offers spectacular waterfront views and an elegant atmosphere. Louie’s Backyard is another favorite of mine, serving oceanfront dining with Caribbean-inspired flavors. Hot Tin Roof offers sophisticated cuisine overlooking the historic harbor. For something more casual, seek out neighborhood bars where conversation flows as freely as the drinks. After dinner, the energy ramps up along famous Duval Street. We always stop at Irish Kevin’s, where live music, hilarious performers, and audience participation make it impossible not to join the fun. This little island certainly knows how to entertain you! No visit is complete without the Sunset Celebration at Mallory Square, where artists, musicians, and street performers gather each evening to watch the sun sink into the Gulf. Don’t spend your entire visit on land. Getting out on the water is a must! Explore the backcountry by boat, cruise past mangrove islands, or anchor at a beautiful sandbar. There’s nothing like stepping into crystal-clear shallows, swimming in the warm water, and soaking up the sunshine surrounded by all the natural beauty. Key West is history, humor, incredible food, and wonderful people wrapped in tropical sunshine. What more could you ask for? Somehow, no matter how many times I visit, my compass always points me back to Key West. I’d love to hear from you! Share your travel tips and ideas at Kerryscompass@ longislandmediagroup.com. Always let your compass lead you somewhere worth remembering.

Thanksgiving is a muchanticipated and beloved holiday in the United States. Celebrated on the fourth Thursday of November, Thanksgiving offers families and friends an opportunity to gather and break bread together. Food is a major focus of the holiday, which can feel overwhelming for those tasked with hosting the celebration. Guests may expect traditional Thanksgiving staples, including turkey and mashed potatoes. While these favorites can help guide menu planning, sticking to traditional dishes is not the only way to simplify preparations for this beloved holiday. Accept help, but keep it limited. It’s customary for loved ones invited to Thanksgiving dinner to offer to bring a dish, which can ease the workload for hosts. However, hosts can keep things simple by asking just a few guests to prepare a side dish. Once those requests are covered, politely decline additional offers. Too many dishes can leave little room on the table and may lead to hurt feelings if some contributions go uneaten

or remain in the kitchen. Explain your desire to reduce food waste. Another way to simplify Thanksgiving is to avoid preparing more food than necessary. Guests may expect to leave with full bellies, but excessive portions can result in unnecessary waste. Hosts can simplify meal preparation by planning realistic portions and explaining to guests that they want to reduce food waste. Leftovers can also be refrigerated, frozen, or shared with guests. Keep table settings simple. Unless you plan to post photos of the family meal on Instagram, consider skipping elaborate table settings in favor of a simple arrangement. Polishing formal silverware and folding cloth napkins

into intricate designs can take time away from meal preparation. A more casual setting allows guests to focus on enjoying a delicious, home-cooked holiday meal. Purchase a premade dessert. It may be tempting to prepare a homemade dessert, but purchasing pies or other treats from a local bakery or grocery store can save valuable time. This approach allows hosts to spend less time in the kitchen and more time enjoying the celebration with family and friends. Hosting Thanksgiving dinner is no small task. However, with a little planning and a few practical adjustments, hosts can simplify meal preparation and enjoy more of the holiday themselves.

The adventure is in the journey. You can fly directly into Key West International Airport, but I recommend making the drive from Miami at least once. The Overseas Highway carries you across a string of islands, with spectacular blue water stretching in every direction. Along the way, we stumbled upon Robert Is Here in Homestead, a legendary fruit stand that began in 1959 when a six-year-old boy named Robert sold cucumbers beside the road. Today, it’s famous for exotic fruits, local honey, tropical milkshakes, a petting zoo, and live music.

As you wander the narrow streets, admire the pastel-colored conch houses, lush gardens, and inviting porches. And watch where you walk! Roosters roam freely, strutting through traffic as if they own the place. In Key West, apparently, they have the right of way!

The study also found that black tea drinkers expressed themselves in a more relaxed way than non-tea drinkers within 50 minutes of a stressful experience.

Energy bills vary significantly depending on where a home is located, but data from the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) and Statistics Canada indicates that energy prices are hitting consumers hard across various locales. According to the EIA, between March 2025 and March 2026, energy bills increased in 44 of 50 states in America. Statistics Canada notes energy prices rose by 19.2 percent between April 2025 and April 2026. As winter approaches, consumers may be increasingly concerned, as the EIA notes that energy rates tend to rise in summer and winter, when people are more likely to rely on heating and cooling to keep their homes comfortable. Sealing windows might help cut those costs, as the U.S. Department of Energy notes that heat gain and heat loss through inefficient windows may be responsible for as much as 30 percent of heating- and cooling-related energy consumption. By checking windows for leaks and fixing leaks before winter, consumers might save themselves a considerable amount of money.

Seaford Middle School students united in their desire to make healthy choices during Red Ribbon Week from Oct. 26-30. There were themed dress-up days as well as important lessons on living drug-free lives. This year’s national Red Ribbon Week theme was “Make a difference. Be a hero. Stay drug free.” An advisory session lesson to begin the week focused on reasons

why people might engage in substance abuse and how to counteract that. Students were immersed in discussions about positive coping skills. Facts on the dangers of drug and alcohol use were also included as part of the daily announcements. Additionally, students signed their names to small red ribbons as a pledge to make healthy choices. To begin spirit week, students were encouraged to

wear red, the symbolic color of the drug-free campaign. Other themes included pajama day, favorite decades day, twin day and Halloween costumes. “The focus of Red Ribbon Week is to encourage students to make smart choices,” social worker Amanda Robilotto said. “We want them to recognize that their choices have an impact on themselves, on the people around them and their futures.”

Benefits To Cooking Your Own Meals Aging men and women may be tempted to eschew home cooking entirely. After all, there are plenty of convenient frozen or take-out foods available that can be whipped up in a snap. However, there are certain benefits to cooking your own meals. John Moore, DO, an Aetna medical director and senior health specialist, says that cooking can be good for helping to stave off cognitive decline. Dr. Moore notes that, when cooking, the mind is put to use following a recipe and learning new skills and tasks. Furthermore, cooking for oneself can boost seniors’ self-confidence,

reassuring them that they can handle an important daily task without having to rely on their family for meals. As long as it is deemed safe (i.e., no sign of cognitive decline or forgetfulness), seniors should be encouraged to continue cooking.

History And Hope On Stage In Seaford’s Production Of ‘Radium Girls’

SEAFORD - SOUTH BAY’S NEIGHBOR NEWSPAPERS - WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 11, 2026 • WWW.LONGISLANDMEDIAGROUP.COM

Audiences will step back in time a full century for the Seaford High School Drama Club’s production of “Radium Girls.” Three shows on Nov. 20 and 21 will feature a compelling true story told through powerful performances by a cast of 29 student-actors. “Radium Girls” is a play by D.W. Gregory based on young women who worked in factories painting watch dials with glowing radium

paint in the 1920s. After many of the workers become seriously ill from radiation poisoning, one employee, Grace Fryer, fights to hold the company accountable despite pressure and opposition. It explores themes of justice, courage, workers’ rights, and the cost of corporate negligence. Senior Olivia Ferrara plays the lead role of Grace and junior Henry Brock

stars as Arthur Roeder, the owner of the watch company. “It shines a light on this story and the people who lived through this experience,” Henry said. “It is an emotionally powerful show.” Olivia said this is the first serious drama production for Seaford students after comedies the past few years. “It gives diversity for the

actors who get to portray different characters,” she said, “and for the audience as they get to see a different side of theater.” Director Elyse Cruz said that is exactly why she chose “Radium Girls” as this year’s fall drama. She wants to stretch the abilities of a talented group of student-actors and give them an experience that requires serious character development. In

addition to the standout performances of the students, she added, the story is also told through lighting, staging and the sets, creating an “aesthetically complete” show. Joining Ms. Cruz on the production team are producer Dr. Anthony Romeo, set designer Grant Weber, lighting crew adviser Kevin O’Reilly, sound crew adviser Dan

Krueger and design consultant Chris Coniglio. Show times are Friday, Nov. 20 at 7 p.m. and Saturday, Nov. 21 at 2 p.m. and 7 p.m. in the high school auditorium. Tickets are $12 for adults, $10 for students and $5 for faculty and staff, and children under 6. For more information, call (516) 592-4337.
