Science Surrounds Them Electricity, chemical reactions, hydropower and jet propulsion were just some of the scientific concepts that students studied for the annual science fair at Seaford Middle School.

The presentations were on display in the cafeteria on February 15th, and parents were invited to come see the results.

There were 27 projects created by more than 40 students, who could either work individually or in pairs. Each project included a posterboard outlining the problem, hypothesis, experiment and conclusion.

Science teachers Amanda Shirreffs and Roseann Zeblisky served as the judges. They noted that many students explored “everyday things” such as how much sugar is in their drinks or which gender produces more electricity.

“The purpose was to get students more interested in scientific ideas and

spark their curiosity,” Ms. Shirreffs said. “The students really delved deep into their experiments.

It was great to see them doing extra science in everyday life.”

The sixth-grade winners were Ryan D’Orio and Justin Cettina for their experiment, “Pop Your Top.” Leading the seventh-grade entrants were Stephen Karounos

and Connor Lochner for their project, “What Can Help a Plant to Thrive or Die?” Evan Block and Will Santella’s “Human Battery” experiment won first place among the eighth-graders.

When I graduated from high school, I was given the noted Dr. Seuss book, “Oh, the Places You’ll Go,” as a symbolic gesture of good luck toward any and all future pursuits. I since came to learn that this particular gift has been somewhat of a tradition for those moving onward and upward in life - no matter the age.

Of course, the places outlined in the magical land of Seuss are not so much literal; but, rather, a figurative representation of the adventures which await those on the brink of adulthood, the endless potential for exploration and the Great Places which exist just over yonder. The poem reads like a veritable how-to, designed to assist in navigating the twists and turns life is sure to reveal in the years to come.

Nearly 20 years beyond this stepping stone, the words

ring just as true: “Step with care and great tact… and remember that Life’s A Great Balancing Act.” Indeed it is.

I recently listened to a podcast which analyzed the age-old query of whether happiness leads to success, or vice versa. Like the chicken/ egg debate, there is of course no concrete answer; however, most research seems to suggest that happiness is the starting point from which the greatest success blossoms. To be in a positive state is to have a productive, constructive mindset, making growth that much easier.

Delving deeper into the topic, it was stated that those who attempt to find that tedious work/life “balance” are often misdirected in their goal. In reality, these elements will never truly exist in the perfect proportion we strive for, as our existence - and all the elements which affect

it - are in a continuous state of flux. Rather, the objective should be to find a place of fulfillment within, making the necessary adjustments along the way as we navigate those same twists and turns predicted by Dr. Seuss all those years ago.

Taking this lesson into a geographic territory, it was recently brought to my attention that the passport I obtained some five years ago is nearly halfway to its expiration date, having been used precisely once on my very first international flight - first flight anywhere, in fact - to the Emerald Isle. Where to next? The fact is, it doesn’t really matter.

Anywhere will do, so long as it brings pleasure and adventure and a newfound sense of discovery.

Your mountain is waiting.

So . . . get on your way!

Six students from Seaford High School have received scholarships for Academic Excellence from New York State. The award, presented by the Higher Education Services Corporation, recognizes seniors for their academic accomplishments.

The recipients are Jordan Ament, Andrew Chirico, Connor Kelly, Annalore LaGrassa, Jake Masters and

Allison Prete. They were selected based on their performance on a select set of Regents exams.

All of the honorees will receive scholarship money for the next four years provided they attend college in New York.

Jordan, the valedictorian of Seaford High School’s Class of 2018, will receive $1,500 annually. Andrew, Connor, Annalore, Jake

and Allison will each earn $500 per year.

“These seniors have earned the highest Regents scores on a number of those exams,” said Principal Scott Bersin, who congratulated the recipients. “The New York State Academic Excellence scholarship is extremely significant.”

Strong Finish

Seaford High School’s new Science Olympiad team made an impression at its first competition with a first-place finish in the Small Schools category.

The young scientists took part in the regional competition at Wantagh High School on February 3rd, which featured 48 teams from 20 high schools. The 13 students from Seaford entered into several different events testing their science mettle

including written tests and hands-on challenges.

Max Newman and Jessica Kofod finished fourth in Write It, Do It. In that event, one student had to write a description of an object and how to build it, and his or her teammate had to construct the object from the description.

Britney Sirota received special recognition in the helicopter event, in which she built a rubber bandpowered device.

“It was a great experience and it was great to see other schools come together for such a nice scholastic event,” said Jessica, a 10thgrader. “We’re excited to go back next year.”

Science teacher Mary Simons, the club’s adviser, said that students spent all of January preparing for their inaugural competition.

She commended the group for their hard work and competitive spirit.

HOPE CHILDREN’S FUND

Hope Children’s Fund is an international non-profit that operates with the motto “Education Is Key.” For children in Kenya, this couldn’t be more true. Without an education and the ability to speak English, these children often lack the opportunity to rise above fetching water and cutting wood. Kevin Mann, Vice President of Hope Children’s Fund, explained, “The government in Kenya doesn’t have the resources to take care of the children in their country like the United States government does.” It is not shocking to see a very young child in Kenya hopelessly wandering the streets without family...hungry and just trying to survive. Hope Children’s Fund does something about this problem.

In 2001, Hope Children’s Fund registered as a nonprofit and raised $40,000 through donations – precisely enough money to begin construction on an orphanage that stands high up on a hill in Meru, Kenya. By 2005, the orphanage opened and began transforming lives for children, many of whom had lost their parents in the AIDS epidemic.

This orphanage, Jerusha Mwiraria Hope Children’s Fund Home, has a dining hall and a dormitory for boys and girls. It provides the children with shelter, steady meals and the opportunity to attend school. The children are shown family values and given chores to complete in order for them to gain life skills. They currently house 100 children and have had many success stories. If you would like to be part of another one of their success stories, you can!

There are 22 orphans who still need to be sponsored through Hope Children’s Fund’s sponsorship program - $1/day or $365/year will help send these children to school so they have a better chance

to succeed. Below, you will see a photo of Purity Kanyiri, a 5 year-old girl in need of a sponsor. Purity attends nursery preschool at Gikumene Primary and resides at this orphanage. For further details on mentoring Purity or another child, please contact Aida Mann at AidaMann@ optonline.com. Upon sponsorship, you will receive a photo and bio of the child you chose to sponsor. You will be able to write letters or send e-mails directly to the child to provide them with hopeful messages! Kevin and Aida often travel to visit the orphanage and welcome sponsors to come along so they can meet firsthand the child they sponsor.

Growing up on Long Island, I realize it is easy to be misled into thinking everyone lives as we do, but that is not the case.

Purity is much more than just someone in the photo on this page; she is one of many people across the world who is reaching out for help. Although there are plenty of ways we can spend $1 a day, using that money to mentor a child in need is truly a priceless experience!

On the heels of the successful launch of Discover Long Island’s new off-season campaign that launched in December, Long Island is gearing up for a line-up of winter and spring festivals that will attract locals and visitors from around the globe. The region’s annual Winterfest celebration and new The Hamptons Arts Weekend (THAW) are expected to draw thousands during a traditionally slow period.

“Long Island is known for our iconic summer season, but winter is an ideal time for visitors and locals to discover the endless dining, shopping and entertainment opportunities throughout our destination at a relaxed pace and considerable savings,” said Kristen Jarnagin, President & CEO, Discover Long Island.

“Events such as Winterfest and THAW ensure that there is no shortage of activity taking place on the East End and provides the perfect backdrop for a winter weekend getaway.”

The 11th annual Winterfest is held on Long Island’s East End from February 22nd – March 18th and offers attendees an array of activities including wine tours,

craft beverage tastings, live music performances, and more for the perfect East End getaway. The Hamptons Art Network, a collaboration of 19 different cultural attractions, will host the first annual THAW Festival kicking off March 23rd-25th with special performances, workshops, film screenings, and mustsee exhibitions throughout the Hamptons.

“Suffolk County is home to some of the best tourism assets on Long Island,” said County Executive Bellone.

“These signature events are tremendous for the East End and allow locals and visitors to get a true taste of Long Island’s unique offerings. I encourage visitors to come out and explore Long Island’s top attractions including our famed art and cultural facilities, renowned wine country, and lively downtowns.”

Tourism is a $5.6 billion annual industry on Long Island and employs more than 100,000 local jobs.

Long Island is the host destination of several internationally recognized events in 2018 including The Belmont Stakes Racing Festival featuring the 150th running of The Belmont Stakes and the 118th U.S. Open Golf Championships at Shinnecock Hills Golf Club. For more on Winterfest, THAW or for a full listing of signature events or destination information, please visit www.discoverlongisland. com.

Food can be used to fend off the flu.

Common foods that many people already have in their pantries can be powerful flu-fighters. Garlic, for example, contains compounds that have direct antiviral effects and may help destroy the flu before it affects the body. Raw garlic is best. In addition to garlic, citrus fruits, ginger, yogurt and dark leafy greens can boost immunity and fight the flu, according to Mother Nature’s Network. The British Journal of Nutrition notes that dark chocolate supports T-helper cells, which increase the immune system’s ability to defend against infection.

Throughout much of North America, flu season peaks between December and February. But flu season can occur anywhere from October to March, advises the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The flu is contagious and can sideline people for extended periods of time. The CDC says that each year one in five Americans gets the flu.

Taking steps to fend off the flu can help men and women and the people they routinely come in contact with.

niffles, sore throat, fever and aches and pains may accompany a number of illnesses, but during the wintertime such symptoms are typically indicative of influenza.

A study published in the American Journal of Therapeutics showed that carnosine, a compound found in chicken soup, can help strengthen the body’s immune system and help fight off the flu in its early stages.

Flu shot and medications Annual flu shots administered in advance of flu season can help protect people and their families from getting the flu. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration says that, in select situations, antiviral medications — which are usually prescribed to treat the flu and lessen symptoms — can reduce the chance of illness in people exposed to influenza.

Many over-the-counter medicines can alleviate symptoms of the flu, but cannot fend it off.

Stop germ proliferation Germs can be spread easily between persons through direct contact and indirect contact with surfaces sick individuals have touched. Doctors recommend staying home for at least 24 hours after a flu-induced fever has dissipated. Well individuals should avoid contact with sick people.

Frequent hand-washing with soap and water can stop germs from spreading.

When soap and water is not available, alcohol-based hand sanitizers can help.

People also should avoid touching their eyes, noses and mouths after being in public places or around someone who is ill.

Rest and restore Those who feel symptoms coming on should begin drinking more liquids to keep the respiratory system hydrated and make mucus less viscous. Remember to get adequate sleep, as a tired body cannot effectively fight the flu virus.

People of all ages should take steps to protect themselves from the flu.

erms have gotten a somewhat undeserved reputation. For decades, people have done what they can to avoid these unseemly organisms, thinking that exposure to germs is the single-best way to get and remain sick. Certainly, there are germs that a person would be wise to avoid.

However, not all germs must be avoided.

Germs are tiny organisms that can enter the body through open cuts, the mouth, the nose and the eyes. Germs are found all over the world. The four main types of germs include bacteria, viruses, fungi and protozoa. Bacteria are a type of germ that often get a bad rap but actually may have benefits that outweigh their negatives.

SEAFORD - SOUTH BAY’S NEIGHBOR NEWSPAPERS - WEDNESDAY FEBRUARY 28, 2018 • www.southbaysneighbor.com

Bacteria are tiny, one-celled creatures that get nutrients from their environments to live. In some instances, that environment is the human body. Bacteria can reproduce inside and outside of the body. While bacteria that cause repeated infections might be considered bad, there actually are a host of good bacteria. Such bacteria help people digest food and protect against gastrointestinal upset,

such as diarrhea. Some bacteria may help people fight off illnesses caused by other bacteria or viruses, says research published in the journal Best Practice & Research Clinical Gastroenterology.

Beneficial bacteria may help stimulate the immune system so that the body is better able to fight off diseases naturally.

People frequently overlook good bacteria in an effort to eradicate bad bacteria, and that can have serious detriments.

Unfortunately, the “antibacterial” products available for cleaning and medicines used for treating bacterial illnesses do not discriminate between good and bad germs. They simply eradicate them all.

Heathline says that this can create an imbalance of bacteria in the body that may lead to harmful bacteria taking over.

Harmful bacteria also may evolve to resist common treatments because of the overuse of antibacterial and antimicrobial medicines and products.

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says that antimicrobial agents have been used for the last 70 years to treat patients with infectious diseases.

Although they’ve helped treat illnesses, these drugs have enabled the organisms they’re meant to destroy to adapt to them, making the drugs less effective. Some bacteria are even resistant to certain antibacterial drugs. The CDC says each year in the United States at least two million people become infected with bacteria that are resistant to antibiotics — with at least 23,000 people dying as a result of these infections.

Various medical sources urge that regular handwashing with plain soap is enough for cleansing. Consuming foods with naturally occurring helpful organisms, such as yogurt, chocolate, feta cheese, pickles and dark chocolate, can help increase the levels of good bacteria in the body. Taking a probiotic supplement also may help, although researchers at the Cleveland Clinic report that there is not enough proof to say for sure.

People should speak with their doctors before taking probiotics or other steps to increase bacteria to make sure they are a wise decision for each individual.

Get adequate sleep. Getting enough sleep provides recovery time. The National Sleep Foundation recommends that adults between the ages of 18 and 64 years of age get between seven and nine hours of sleep per night. The NSF recommends adults 65 and older get between seven and eight hours of sleep per night..

Stay hydrated. Muscle soreness may appear if men and women are not drinking enough water before, during or after their workouts. A dehydrated body’s muscles do not have enough electrolytes, and that can be contributing to the feelings of soreness some exercise enthusiasts feel.

Drink lots of water throughout the day, and don’t forget to bring a water bottle along to the gym when working out.

Don’t overdo it. Pushing a body too hard increases a person’s risk of injury or illness. Muscles that are overtaxed will very likely begin to feel a type of pain known as delayed onset muscle soreness, or DOMS. The American College of Sports Medicine notes that any type of activity that places unaccustomed loads on muscle may lead to DOMS, but activities such as strength training exercises, walking down hills, jogging, step aerobics and jumping are known examples of contributors to DOMS. Such activities should not necessarily be avoided, but it’s important that men and women not push themselves to the point of overexertion when performing them.

ain in the lower extremities may be indicative of a condition called peripheral artery disease, or PAD. The National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute says PAD occurs when plaque builds up in the arteries that carry blood to the limbs, head and organs, contributing to atherosclerosis, or a hardening of the arteries. Blocked blood flow and eventual limited oxygen supply to these areas can cause pain and numbness. When severe enough, PAD may lead to tissue death.

Discomfort due to PAD usually occurs when a person is walking or exercising, because the muscles are not getting enough blood during these activities to meet their needs, says the American Heart Association. Those with diabetes may confuse pain with neuropathy, and the elderly may think pain from PAD is a normal sign of aging and stiffness.

When undiagnosed, PAD can lead to further complications, including increased risk for heart attack, stroke and coronary artery disease. Even amputation of a limb may be necessary. However, PAD is preventable when taking a few steps to improve diet.

According to new research published by the American Heart Association, eating more fruits and vegetables may reduce the risk of developing PAD, which affects an estimated 8.5 million people

in the United States alone. Researchers examined dietary data from roughly 3.7 million men and women, with an average age of 65. Approximately 6.3 percent of the subjects had PAD, and 29.2 percent indicated they ate three or more servings of fruits and vegetables each day. The discovery was those who reported eating three or more daily servings of fruits and vegetables had an 18 percent lower risk of PAD than those who reported eating less of these foods. The association between fruit and vegetable consumption and lower PAD risk remained even after accounting for age, gender, race, smoking status and various cardiovascular risk factors.

Saturated fats, trans-fats and sodium can contribute to the formation of plaques that lead to PAD. Replacing these foods with more vegetables and fruits that are naturally lower in saturated fats can help, as can increasing dietary fiber consumption. One way to incorporate these types of foods is to adhere to a Mediterranean diet, which offers high proportions of legumes, fruits, vegetables; moderate amounts of fish and dairy; and limited meat and meat products.

Peripheral artery disease can be a warning sign of cardiovascular trouble.

Altering one’s diet may help naturally prevent or treat this condition.

congestion and drainage concerns, people may try certain strategies that include flushing the sinuses and thinning the mucus. It is imperative to use safe flushing methods to keep the sinuses healthy.

inuses are bony, hollow, air-filled cavities inside the face and skull.

They are located in the lowcenter of the forehead, behind the eyes and in bones behind the nose. CedarsSinai Medical Center says the sinuses lighten the skull and produce a mucus that moisturizes the inside of the nose. Unfortunately, when colds or the flu strike, sinuses may become one of the first spots affected by these illnesses.

When the sinuses are working properly, mucus will drain into the nasal passages or out the back of the throat. Most of this drainage goes unnoticed.

However, the American Sinus Institute says that factors such as allergies, illness, weather changes, dehydration and dry air can make the sinus mucus thicker and drainage more difficult.

This is when problems like infection, stuffiness or throat irritation may occur.

Neti pots are among the more popular methods to flushing sinuses. These small teapot-like devices with elongated snouts have become a fixture in many medicine cabinets. Because they are drugfree alternatives, they can be handy for those worried about antihistamines making them drowsy or reacting with other drugs. Neti pots and other nasal irrigation systems use saline to moisten and clear out nasal passages to promote drainage of sinus cavities. However, according to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, using these devices improperly can increase one’s risk of infection.

CBS News says that neti pots have even been linked to the deadly Naegleria fowleri, which is otherwise known as the “braineating” amoeba.

In order to combat sinus

The key to preventing infection is to

only use previously boiled, sterile or distilled water to irrigate. Tap water is not adequately filtered, says the FDA, and may contain low levels of organisms that can stay alive in nasal passages and potentially cause serious infections.

Those who are concerned about nasal irrigation safety may be wise to skip neti pots and use pre-packaged, sterile saline solutions that are bottled for the purpose of alleviating congestion.

However, when prepared water is used in a clean neti pot or other device, these methods can be perfectly safe.

Sinuses can get clogged for many reasons. To free up breathing, people are urged to consult their physicians to learn more about how to safely irrigate their nasal passages.

Become A Healthier, Happier You! Cognitive behavioral therapy helps many people work through their thoughts and feelings to change behaviors.

Basis behind cognitive behavioral therapy

changing attitudes and behavior by focusing on the thoughts, beliefs and attitudes that influence the way a person behaves.

The World Health Organization says that one in four people in the world will be affected by mental or neurological disorders in their lives. Roughly 450 million people currently suffer from such conditions, which puts mental disorders among the leading causes of ill health and disability worldwide.

The Mayo Clinic says CBT talk therapy is performed in a structured setting, with a limited number of sessions. CBT identifies negative thinking so that challenging situations can be viewed more clearly and perceptions changed. While it is a tool in treating mental health disorders, anyone can benefit from CBT, especially those looking to cope with stress or other hurdles.

Mental health is not something people may feel comfortable discussing.

Problems may go untreated for years, and some individuals may use selfmedicating behaviors such as drinking alcohol or using illegal drugs to alleviate their symptoms. Others continue to persist with illnesses when they do not have to.

Cognitive behavioral therapy is one of the more successful methods to address mental health issues.

Cognitive behavioral therapy was developed by psychiatrist Aaron Beck in the 1960s. Beck was doing psychoanalysis at the time and discovered there was a link between thoughts and feelings. Beck discovered people weren’t always aware of automatic thoughts that popped up in their minds, particularly those negative in nature. By identifying these thoughts, a client could overcome certain difficulties.

The National Association of CognitiveBehavioral Therapists defines CBT as a general term for a classification of therapies with certain similarities. It does not exist as a distinct therapeutic technique. CBT is a short-term, goaloriented psychotherapy treatment that takes a practical form to problem-solving, advises Psych Central. The power is in the hands of the person engaging in the therapy. The therapist simply provides the ideas to get started.

CBT is used to treat a wide range of issues, including insomnia, anxiety, depression, alcohol abuse, relationship problems and more. The process involves

CBT is a balance between placing personal meaning on things and situations as well as the relationship between problems. Many therapists personalize CBT to meet the needs and personality of their patients.

Individuals who prefer a nonpharmaceutical approach to treating their mental health condition may find CBT can be helpful. Stress or uncomfortable feelings may arise, but therapists can work to avoid uncomfortable situations.

Finding a therapist with whom they feel comfortable can help people make the most of CBT.

Seaford Middle School Principal Dan Smith has been named Administrator of the Year by the Council of Administrators and Supervisors in recognition of his educational leadership.

CAS is the largest professional organization of school administrators and supervisors on Long Island with more than 1,300 members.

Mr. Smith was nominated for the award by Seaford Harbor Elementary School Principal Thomas Burke and middle school guidance counselor Stacey Ranzie.

“Mr. Smith is a person who recognizes the good

school assistant principal and high school English teacher in the Glen Cove City School District.

During his tenure at Seaford Middle School, math instructional time has increased for sixthgraders, more eighthgraders are taking accelerated science classes and a music keyboard lab has been added. The school now participates in the Scripps National Spelling Bee, and this year the technology program for eighth-graders was redesigned to include a half-year robotics course.

“We’ve done a lot in eight years,” said Mr. Smith, who shares the credit with his middle school team.

“What makes the building successful is the faculty and staff. I’m lucky enough to be steering the ship.”

Mr. Smith, who said he is very humbled and appreciative to be chosen as Administrator of the Year, will be presented with his award at the March 8 delegate assembly.

CAS president Albert Voorneveld said of the honoree, “His leadership in the field of education is an example for all.”

Congratulations to New York’s rising star athlete, Michael Lantino, for claiming Bronze at the 2018 U.S. Open International Championships in the High School Division!

The U.S. Open is the largest international open championship in the world, bringing in athletes from around the globe. Michael competed in a tough 15-17

division comprised of 25 of the world’s best Taekwondo athletes. He won his preliminary matches against Canada and USA fighters, and lost a tough match to a current USA National Team member from California.

Michael Lantino, a Long Island resident, has been training under the supervision of Ultimate

Champions Taekwondo Master Soongwon Kang and Master Andrew Oh. He trains six days a week, a total of 20 hours; on top of this, he maintains an A average and is on the Principal’s Honor Roll!

“Michael is a great listener and hard worker.

He has the work ethic and mindset to become a champion in the near future,” says Master Andrew Oh, who coached him at the championship in Las Vegas.

This is the second international medal of Michael’s career and next, he is looking forward to going to the National Team Trials. Ultimate Champions Taekwondo provides not only the best traditional martial arts training, but an intensive high-level sport Taekwondo program for those aspiring to become an Olympic Champion.
