Get Vaccinated. Vaccination is the best protection against contracting the flu. Everyone 6 months of age and older should get vaccinated against the flu as soon as the 2012-2013 season vaccine is available in your area. If you do contract the flu, talk to your doctor about antivirals. Antiviral drugs are prescription medicines (pills, liquid or an inhaler) that can be used for prevention or treatment of flu viruses. If you get sick, antiviral drugs can make your illness milder and make you feel better faster. Flu Facts: • The flu is caused by a virus called influenza • Flu is a contagious illness that is spread in droplets made by people when they talk, sneeze or cough. These droplets can then infect another person when they inhale them. • Less commonly, a person might also get flu by touching an object that has the flu virus on it and then touching their own mouth, eyes or nose. • Once infected, you may pass the virus to others even about a day before you begin to have symptoms yourself. • Flu can cause a mild to severe illness and even death especially in the very young or old, pregnant woman or people with other medical illnesses (i.e.: asthma, diabetes) • The best way to prevent the flu is by getting a flu vaccine each year.

Q: What else can I do to prevent getting or spreading the flu? A: Here are some things you can do: • Get vaccinated! Ask your friends to get vaccinated. • Cover coughs and sneezes with a tissue and then throw the tissue in the garbage. • Stay away from people who are sick. • Wash your hands often with soap and water or use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer. • Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth. • If someone in the house is sick, if possible, try to keep them in a separate area. • Keep surfaces like tables, sinks, counters and toys clean by wiping them down with a household disinfectant (follow instructions on the label).

Q: If I am concerned that vaccines cause autism, what is the harm of with holding vaccines? A: Autism is also common in countries where there are no vaccines. Your child may develop severe illness which is easily vaccine - preventable. I hope this helps you to better understand what the flu is and how you can protect yourself and your family from getting this illness. I wish you health and happiness. If I can be of further assistance, please let me know. Urszula K Rakowska, MD, FAAP, MBA, CPE Assistant Professor of Pediatric Emergency Medicine 631-864-7337 or gp@pediatricimmediatecare.com

School’s Back and Soon the Flu Will be Too!! Get A Flu Shot Now!

Q: Who should get the flu vaccine? A: Beginning this year with the 2012-2013 influenza season, the CDC recommends that everyone 6 months and older should get a flu vaccine each year. The single best way to prevent the flu is to get a flu vaccine each year. Q: Where can I get a free vaccine for my child? A: Pediatric Immediate Care in Smithtown offers free vaccinations for all children under 19, no co-pay for adults under 65. Call 864 7337 to get your preservative free flu vaccine.

238858N0919

Q: What are the Side Effects of the two vaccine types? A: Different side effects can be associated with the flu shot and nasal vaccine. The flu shot: You cannot get the flu from a flu shot. Some minor side effects that could occur are: Soreness, redness, or swelling at the site of injection, Low grade fever, Muscles aches .If they are going to occur at all, they begin soon after the vaccination and usually last 1 to 2 days. Almost all people who receive influenza vaccine have no problems from it. The nasal spray: The nasal-spray vaccine has weakened viruses and does not cause severe symptoms often associated with influenza illness. (In clinical studies, transmission of vaccine viruses to close contacts has occurred only rarely.) Side effects can include runny nose, wheezing, headache, Low grade fever, muscle aches, vomiting.

Q: What types of vaccinations are available? A: The two types of flu vaccines are: • The “flu shot”: an inactivated vaccine which contains killed virus that is given by injection. It is approved for use in people 6 months of age and older, including healthy people, people with chronic medical conditions and pregnant women. • The nasal spray flu vaccine: a vaccine made with live, but weakened flu virus that cannot cause the flu in a healthy person. This is approved for use in healthy people 2-49 years old (not pregnant)

Taking A Bite Out Of Hunger September is National Hunger Awareness Month and Panera Bread is stepping up its support of Island Harvest, Long Island’s largest hunger relief organization, by holding its third annual “Take a Bite out of Hunger” food collection drive. From Monday, September 17th through Friday, September 21st, Panera Bread is “egging on” donations of nonperishable food items to Island Harvest by providing guests who drop off one or more can or box before 11 a.m. with a free Grilled Breakfast Sandwich of their choice right on the spot. The offer is valid at all 22 Long Island Panera Bread bakery-cafes from September 17th through the 21st. “Last year, we grilled up over 3,000 free Grilled Breakfast Sandwiches and

collected over 2200 pounds of food to help Island Harvest provide critical food support for Long Island’s hungry,” said Greg George, Vice President of Operations for Doherty Enterprises, franchisee for the Long Island Panera Bread bakery-cafes. “Year round we package up and donate the bread, bagels, and pastries that remain on our shelves at end of the day to help Island Harvest. During ‘Take a Bite out of Hunger,’ we invite our guests to help, too with canned goods and other non-perishables.” “For over a decade, Panera Bread has been a valued partner helping Island Harvest address the critical issue of hunger right here on Long Island,” said Randi Shubin Dresner, president and CEO of Island Harvest. “Panera’s generosity, along with that of their

guests, has helped make a positive impact among the 285,000 men, women and children in our communities who know the effects of hunger firsthand - and, for that we are grateful.” Panera Bread hopes to collect more than a ton of food at its Long Island cafes and is encouraging food donations by providing each donor with a nutritious hot Grilled Breakfast Sandwich during its “Take a Bite out of Hunger” campaign to benefit Island Harvest from September 17th21st.

Glaucoma Poor drainage of a person's eye can lead to glaucoma. The vision loss can be devastating and can drastically change the life of a once-active adult. More information can be found at www.eyecareamerica.org.

GOING FOR THE GOLD - In support of the Doherty Enterprises Inc.’s WOW a Friend Foundation, which raises money through voluntary contributions by its employees, 400 Applebee’s and Panera Bread restaurant staff from Long Island and New Jersey descended on the Calhoun High School gymnasium for a showdown of Olympic proportions. Fifty-one teams faced off in a volleyball tournament that helped raise more than $5,700 - funds that will be earmarked to help fellow employees hit by financial hardship due to a natural disaster, illness or other loss.

PET’S PLACE BY SHARON HUBBARD - Sharonadoptpet@aol.com • avoiceforanimals.org

Dear Readers,

For More Information Call: 631-226-2636 - www.theneighbornewspapers.com

Before I turn this column over to Dori Scofield, the Brookhaven Animal Shelter Superviser, I’m going to request that our Readers respond as quickly and as generously as they can. It’s going to take all of us to pitch in and help to heal these poor innocent souls. The 23 were used by their human owners in horrific and inhumane ways. Some were used as living “bait” to train the fighting dogs, their teeth filed down or their mouths strapped shut, unmercifly bitten and mauled. Their faces and bodies bare the visable scars; their hearts the invisible aching with longing for the love and homes they would never know. Others were used as breeders, living in small filthy cages - no human contact, no grassy fields to run in, no sweet fresh air or warm human touch. They bore litters of puppies sold to continue the cycle of cruelty. And then there are the fighting dogs, beaten and forced to act against their own sweet natures, prodded into tearing and killing. They were killed and discarded as garbage if they refused to fight. Readers, our combined communities of Nassau and Suffolk Counties need to pull together and make sure each and every one of these dogs has a “happily ever after.” There was evil living amoung us and it will take the good in all of us to make things right. Please read on for a glimpse of what Dori saw on the raid that saved 23 lives... “On September 9th, the Brookhaven Animal Shelter, along with the Suffolk County SPCA and Suffolk County Police Department,

confiscated 23 Pit Bulls from a deplorable home in Shirley, NY. Many of the dogs were stacked in rusted cages in a dark, very hot garage. All were living in their own feces and urine. Others were locked up in various rooms of the house with little or no ventilation, and the remainder lived outside in makeshift kennels. The stench could only be tolerated by a seasoned rescuer. There are few words to describe the expression in the eyes that stared back at us, unsure if we were friend or foe. After five hours of examining and removing the dogs, they were all brought back to The Brookhaven Animal Shelter to begin a new chapter in their lives. I’m sure many readers will cheer for their safety but please understand, they are but another 23 dogs added to the already overcrowded shelter. These dogs need homes desperately. Some are young, some are old, some are more beat up and scarred than others. But one thing is true... all are yearning for the love, companionship and a warm, cozy environment only a loving home can provide. Yes, we need money toward their medical care, blankets to keep them feeling secure, food to nourish their bodies, but more than anything, homes to nourish their souls. Most of the dogs are petite and all are sweet and submissive. I am asking everyone on Long Island to do something, one thing - small or large - for these dogs. Whether you can donate $1 toward the Help the Animals Fund or adopt one of these orphans, please do something. We are the voice of the voiceless... be a voice, change a life forever.”

www.htaf.org dscofield@brookhaven.org brookhaven.org/animalshelter 631.286.4940 300 Horseblock Rd. Brookhaven, NY 11719 Readers, if you have ever considered adopting a dog, please come forward and do it now. This is a crises situation; the shelter is overburdened and trying desperately to find each and every animal in its care a wonderful loving home. Beds, blankets, and food are needed and can be dropped off at the Brookhaven Shelter or, if more convienient, at Century 21AA Realty, 1596 Straight Path, corner of Wellwood Avenue in Lindenhurst. Marianne Lappas and her husband John will be making trips to the shelter to drop off donations, so ask for Marianne. A special shout out to the Suffolk County Police, the SPCA and the Brookhaven Animal Shelter Employees for a job well done. Readers, if you do adopt, please let me know and e-mail a picture or two so that all of us can share in the happiness.

Please visit a shelter and adopt. Remember, Your Best Friend Is Waiting...

Voice Of The Future On Tuesday, September 11th, the Port Jefferson Fire Department held a memorial ceremony at their firehouse for all those affected by the terrorist attacks that occurred on September 11th, 2001. Local firefighters, police officers and other key members of the Port Jefferson community were in attendance to reflect and offer their respects. Members of the Edna Louise Spear Elementary School fifth-grade class, led by music instructor Jessica Pastor, sang God Bless America at the start of the service. Former Port Jefferson Fire Department Chief Desmond O’Sullivan addressed attendees. In his remarks he said, “Never forget those firefighters and police officers that were at 9/11, and be thankful every day of your lives for what they did.” He quoted President Abraham

Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address by stating, “The world will little note nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here.” Mr. O’Sullivan continued by recognizing the elementary students present and pronounced them as “the bright future of our world.” He emphasized how important it is for younger generations to learn about 9/11 and to “never forget what this day is about.” Infant Jesus Roman Catholic Church Pastor Rev. Patrick M. Riegger led opening and closing prayers. A list of local first responders who lost their lives during the attacks was read, followed by a ringing of the bell for each individual. Bagpipes were played preceding a firing of volleys by members of the Marine Corps Veterans Association, as well as a poignant moment of silence.

Vendors Wanted The Long Island Region will host the 19th Annual Fall Festival at Wildwood State Park on Saturday, September 29th, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Craft vendors are needed for this great fall event. Interested craft vendors should call 631.321.3523, weekdays from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. More information is available by visiting www.nysparks.com.

Before concluding their ceremonies, the ringing of a bell was heard at both junior high schools. The bell rang four times at Murphy, one for each plane, and 11 times at Gelinas to mark the 11th anniversary. “Today, the Gelinas Junior High School family paid their respects to those who lost their lives on September 11, 2001,” stated acting Principal Dr. Paul Gold. “While today is certainly a sad day for all Americans, we at Gelinas took the opportunity to embrace this time and reflect upon how we live our lives and treat those that surround us every day. I am very proud of the students and faculty as they treated the day with the dignity and respect that it deserves.”

reminder that we will never forget what the day means.” P.J. Gelinas and R.C. Murphy junior high school students blanketed the schools’ front lawns early in the morning on 9/11 for a special remembrance program. Exiting the schools in silence, the students and staff members gathered around the flagpoles to commence the programs. After reciting the Pledge of Allegiance and observing a moment of silence, select studentmusicians performed a patriotic song and during their program Murphy band teacher Todd Schievelbein performed “Taps” on the trumpet. “Most of our staff probably remembers exactly where they were and what they were doing on this tragic day 11 years ago,” stated Murphy Assistant Principal Kevin Finnerty. “Our students were only two or three years old – too young to fully understand what was happening on this day. But now they are old enough and mature enough to understand that every generation will face a tragedy of some type. What counts is not how it happened or the reason it did, but how that generation handles it, and whether it has made them smarter and stronger.”

Paying tribute to those lives lost and the brave men and woman who came to the nation’s aid on that historic day, students, teachers and staff members in the Three Village Central School District marked the 11th anniversary of 9/11 in their own ways this year. Proudly carrying 72 flags, which were purchased last year with a donation from the school’s student government, students at Ward Melville High School once again worked to create a patriotic display on the front lawn of the building. The flag bearers were randomly selected during their eighth-period class; the 11th student on the class roster was chosen to represent his or her class and carry a flag. Passing motorists showed their support of the students’ efforts by honking their horns and waving as the flags were secured to their posts along Old Town Road. The completed display will remain up through the week of 9/11. “I think it is a really special way to pay tribute to those who lost their lives on 9/11,” stated junior Melanie Mackey. “The display is a symbol of our school coming together to salute those who served and are serving, as well as a

exists a degree of grudging respect, perhaps even jealousy that the player isn’t part of their own home team. Well, if that’s the case, then I have to believe criticism is the sincerest form of flattery. Otherwise, why would someone take the time and effort to express such negativity, if not for the sheer fact that they are anything but indifferent? Rather, they must be quite invested. Believe me, I will never truly understand those who seem to make their living by spewing hurtful opinions toward others. Perhaps it makes them feel better about themselves; perhaps they are not

equipped to put their words into something more constructive. Either way, I believe it is a combination of arrogance and ignorance which motivates such behavior. But so be it. Those who live their lives to bring others down will continue to do so. Those who strive to make a difference in the lives of others will continue their quest to do so. In the end, all that matters is that a difference was made. If that means wearing that road uniform with pride in the face of adversity, then so be it. Being on the team sure beats being on the outside looking in, doesn’t it?

Overall, though, it is how we choose to deal with it that ultimately defines us. If, by taking the high road, we can somehow learn from it while not losing our sense of self in the process, well then, that’s really all we can hope to accomplish. Someone recently pointed out to me that it’s often the star players who are frequently booed while on the road. Why? Because, despite the perceived animosity, there

Competition (FRC) to Long Island, in which high school students work with their professional mentors to design a robot that solves a problem using a “kit of parts” and a standard set of rules. Once these young inventors create their 130-pound robots, their teams participate in regional competitions that measure the effectiveness of each robot, the power of collaboration and the determination of students. Proceeds from the golf outing will be used to help support the costs associated with SBPLI’s programs: Junior FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) LEGO League (Jr. FLL), FLL Qualifying and C h a m p i o n s h i p Tournaments and Long Island FIRST Robotics Competition, all of which cost more than $250,000 to host.

In 1984, the year before he retired, Mr. Breithut founded SchoolBusiness Partnerships of Long Island, a non-profit organization focusing on closing the gap between the skills needed in Long Island’s business community and the schools that prepare the island’s workforce. Under Mr. Breithut’s leadership, more than 100 such partnerships were formed. In 1999, Mr. Breithut brought the FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) Robotics

The Port Jefferson Board of Education and Port Jefferson Teachers Association have approved a two-year contract to replace the contract that expired on June 30th, 2011. The new two-year contract calls for no increase in salary (beyond step for those eligible) for 2011-2012, along with a hard freeze for 2012-2013 (no increase in salary or step). “The Board appreciates the efforts of the PJTA leadership and their members in negotiating an agreement reflective of the difficult economic situation our community faces,” said Board of Education President Kathleen Brennan. “There will most likely continue to be the need for shared sacrifice as we move

forward. Hopefully all stakeholders can work together respectfully and cooperatively to provide our students with the best education possible.” Port Jefferson UFSD, along with other community governmental agencies, has cited great concern for the future of the power plant located in Port Jefferson Harbor. A reassessment has been filed with the Town of Brookhaven, which has the potential to reduce revenues of the district by millions of dollars, jeopardizing staffing, programs, and the current residential tax rate. “A number of faculty members live here, but all of us understand the challenges posed by the loss of revenue,” said Brian Snow, the President of the PJTA. “The more

information we have in the future, the better we will be able to establish a new contract that is in the best interests of everyone.” Another amendment to the expired contract will have a positive impact on instruction. Teachers will now have an average of 7.5 prep periods every week, a reduction from 9 last year (and 10 during the 201011 school year). Current levels of instruciton have been maintained in the areas of Physical Education, Art, Library and Music. Elementary students will attend swimming and Health every other week, increasing classroom contact on the average of 60 minutes per week. In addition, classroom teachers will accompany students and lead

Meet The Principal

curriculum related instruction within the technology lab. Outstanding grievances by the PJTA against the district have been discontinued as a result of the new contract. The

parties also agreed to concurrent use of paid FMLA childcare, resulting in a new formula that requires the use of two banked sick days for each day of paid FMLA childcare leave. The

financial impact of this new formula will lower the district’s costs for accrued time payouts at the time of retirment while allowing for continuity of instruction when leaves are taken.

Unless You Have The Intense Desire To Be Successful!!! IF YOU DO.... WE HAVE AN OUTSIDE ADVERTISING SALES POSITION AVAILABLE As Rocky Point High School students headed back to school this year, they were welcomed to the building by a new school principal, John DeBenedetto. To welcome Mr. DeBenedetto to the Rocky Point School District and afford the community’s parents the opportunity to meet the new school administrator, a “meet the principal” night was held in early September. Kicking off the event, Mr. DeBenedetto described his background

as an educator, speaking in great detail about his administrative experience in both the William Floyd and Sachem school districts. He informed the parents and community members of the short- and long-term goals he has for the school, most notably to make each student enjoy learning and to prepare them for their lives beyond high school. Mr. DeBenedetto also discussed how he will focus his energy this year on continuing to ensure that students graduate on

time. His future objectives include developing protocols that will provide each student with an individualized postgraduation plan that either leads them to a higher education degree or gives them the ability to enter the field of their choice. At the conclusion of the event, Mr. DeBenedetto had the chance to speak one-on-one with the parents and residents in attendance.

Gateway Playhouse in the early '50s. Throughout my life, I have been surrounded by the arts and surrounded by theater,” Mr. Allan said. “Since 1980, I have served as Gateway’s producer, and my duties have contributed to my awareness of and contact with arts organizations in our county, across many disciplines. I feel that I can make a positive contribution to this board.” Suffolk County

musician and an excellent teacher and citizen of the University. She is most deserving of this prestigious award.” “I have been very fortunate to work with Philip Setzer and Nicholas Cords, who have nurtured my development as a musician and in becoming my own teacher. I'm grateful to receive the Patricia Kerr Ross Award to support my work and life as a violinist and violist,” said Gotoh. "The invaluable support from the faculty throughout my studies in the newlyproposed dual-degree doctorate in violin and viola performance attests to the open-minded environment and broad outlook of the Stony Brook University Music Department.”

Restoration Grant Awarded The Suffolk County Vanderbilt Museum has received a $5,000 grant for the conservation treatment of a valuable seventeenth-century Dutch oil painting in its collection. The grant was made by the Conservation Treatment Grant Program of the Greater Hudson Heritage Network, a regranting agency of the New York State Council on the Arts. Stephanie Gress, the Vanderbilt's director of curatorial services, said the painting, City of Boulogne by Hendrick Dubbels (1620-1676), is in “poor condition and in urgent need of restoration.” The work will be performed by the accomplished conservator Alexander Katlan of Flushing, NY. The painting, original to

the collection of William K. Vanderbilt II, was treated last in 1986, Gress said. “The darkened varnish was cleaned and the painting was stabilized by adding a cloth lining to the back of the canvas. The museum will provide matching funds to refurbish the ornate, gilt frame.” Little is known of Dubbels’s life, Gress said. He was born in Amsterdam in 1620 and worked as a painter of seascapes and winter landscapes from circa 1641 until his death in 1676. (Some historical sources list his lifespan as 1621-1707.) “A lot of Dubbels's work was attributed to another artist and it is very rare to find his paintings in the United States,” she said. “Much of his work is in

collections in Florence and London and in England's National Gallery. Our painting may be one of the few in this country.” Gress said the Vanderbilt collection includes other maritime paintings - a favorite of Mr. Vanderbilt - along with nineteenth-century American and Dutch portraits, genre paintings (scenes from everyday life), Spanish religious works and European landscapes. “Although Mr. Vanderbilt collected art and antique furnishings,” she said, “his focus as a collector was ethnographic artifacts,” many of which are displayed in the Memorial Wing of the Vanderbilt Mansion.

Legislator Kate Browning (WF-Shirley) nominated Mr. Allan, a resident of Bellport Village, to represent the 3rd Legislative District. “I want to thank Paul Allan for representing the 3rd Legislative District on the Citizens Advisory Board for the Arts,” Leg. Browning said. “Suffolk County has much to offer in cultural arts, and the Advisory board helps to promote and advance the arts for all the residents of Suffolk County. Paul’s expertise with theater for over 30 years will be a tremendous asset to the board.” Mr. Allan’s appointment was confirmed by the Suffolk County Economic Development & Energy Committee on Wed., Aug. 15, with Vice Chairperson Steve Stern (DHuntington, 16th L.D.), Majority Leader Duwayne Gregory (D-Amityville, 15th L.D.) and Legislators Thomas Climi (R-Bay Shore, 10th L.D.) and Lynn Nowick (RSmithtown, 13th L.D.) in attendance.

prestigious and competitive award.” Gotoh, a dual-degree recipient with a DMA in violin and viola performance, was nominated for the award by two professors, Nicholas Cords, viola artist-in-residence at Stony Brook University; and Philip Setzer, professor of violin and chamber music at Stony Brook University and a founding member of the renowned Emerson String Quartet. “It is very unusual to work with a student who does many different things in music and does all of them equally and very well,” said Setzer. “Mario Gotoh is just such a musician.

GIVING BACK - Pine Hollow Country Club is giving back to the community with a $2,500 donation to Island Harvest, Long Island’s largest hunger relief organization. Pine Hollow Country Club member and former NY Jet and Super Bowl Champion John Schmitt, who is also a longtime Island Harvest supporter, had the honor of presenting Randi Shubin Dresner, President and CEO of Island Harvest, with the gift. The funds will help Island Harvest provide much needed supplemental food support for nearly 300,000 Long Islanders who face the risk of going hungry every day.

Stony Brook University alumnus Mario Gotoh (Doctor of Musical Arts ’12) received the 2012 Patricia Kerr Ross Award for exemplary student achievement in the arts. The award is given annually by SUNY Chancellor Nancy L. Zimpher to students who have demonstrated excellence, originality and promise in the arts. It is accompanied with $1,000 and is intended as a bridge between SUNY study in the arts and entry into a professional arts career. “The Patricia K. Ross Award allows SUNY to honor some of our most creative arts students and provide them with financial assistance to support their ongoing work,” said Chancellor Z i m p h e r . “Congratulations to Mario Gotoh for winning such a
