Buddies By: Jamie Lynn Ryan On February 16th, my “half-birthday,” I decided the time was right to adopt another fish to join the family.

As of this writing, “Buddy” – as I dubbed my aqua-colored delta-fin betta fish – is adjusting quite nicely to life in his betta bowl.

He swims, he floats, he eats… although not when I’m in the vicinity. I literally found myself crouching down out of sight to see if he was, in fact, eating. Most fish can’t wait for that first flake to drop; Buddy, not so much. Perhaps he’s just self-conscious. But I finally caught him in the act, sucking down a betta pellet and – get

this – chewing it thoroughly.

I know, I know… fish don’t have teeth. But his motions mimicked a dog munching on a treat, breaking it down bit by bit until he had fully digested his dinner.

That’s my Buddy, pretty and quirky and providing some of the best entertainment this side of the aquarium since my dearly departed finned friends, Harry and Harvey. By all accounts, bettas have a much more substantial lifespan than your average goldfish, so let’s hope Buddy hangs in for a while. Of course, I suppose he could already be pushing 3 years old as we speak, so his longevity remains to be seen.

For me, the biggest test will

be the weekly water change / “bath time” process, that unwelcome disturbance of fishbowl tranquility that all marine life seems to detest.

Unfortunately for Buddy, he has no shrubbery or decorative toys to hide behind – yet. We’ll see if I can find something appropriate for his little underwater kingdom. For now, he’ll just have to deal with being on full display for all to see.

Hopefully, Buddy will still be flitting around come August 16th, and we can celebrate his “half-birthday” along with my “full” one. In any case, he now has a column to officially commemorate his arrival. Just what every fish wants.

SHOULD PRO TEAMS BE HELD TO A HIGHER STANDARD THAN LITTLE LEAGUES? SUBMITTED BY: SAHIL KAPOOR, LINDENHURST HIGH SCHOOL

Every athlete or coach does his/ her best to win, to earn awards and to be famous. Some people might go farther than they should to achieve this goal.

Not only in little leagues or school teams do people cheat, but also in professional leagues.

There have been many cases where people have cheated to get what they strived for. Does this mean they should be stripped of their awards? What if it was the coach’s fault and not the athletes? Who should be penalized for it?

This year in the NFL, it has been alleged that the Patriots cheated their way into the Super Bowl.

They deflated the footballs so it was easier for the quarterbacks and the running backs to hold and the receivers to catch.

Every team member had to

have noticed the difference in the footballs, but yet no one did anything. An even bigger surprise is that the coach and quarterback denied any knowledge of it.

Did they get what they wanted?

Yes. The Patriots cheated their way into winning the Super Bowl.

This is not the first time they have cheated to win the Super Bowl.

First it was “Spy-Gate”; now it’s Deflate-Gate. However, they weren’t penalized for their actions.

They have kept their titles and enjoyed victory parades.

Yet, in the case with the Jackie Robinson West team, all the Little League athletes were stripped of their title. In that situation, the team “was stripped of its national title after an investigation revealed that team officials had falsified area boundaries. They did this

to add ineligible players to the roster.” (Newsday) In this case, the athletes couldn’t possibly have been aware of the fact that what the team officials did was illegal. Yet all their hard work had been for nothing. Every win they had was taken away from them.

So, why were these children stripped of their titles, but the Patriots got to keep their wins?

The Patriots’ wins were the biggest accomplishment in the football industry.

Why is it that the little leagues have been stripped of their title but the professional leagues haven’t? Even though cheating in the first place isn’t right, should the athletes be punished if it wasn’t their fault? That’s your opinion to decide.

TWO SENIOR DOGS FOUND TOGETHER On a cold day in January, Little Shelter went out on rescue. This is nothing new; they do it all the time.

But on this day, a very special rescue was made. This was the day that Betty and Wilma were given a second chance at life. Betty and Wilma are two senior Labrador mixes.

These two ladies were found wandering the streets by a local town shelter. They were aimlessly walking together, in the dead of winter.

Of course, Betty and Wilma aren’t their real names; we’ll never know their names.

Wilma and Betty weren’t wearing tags and they weren’t microchipped. They simply had to fend for themselves.

Wilma is a sweet, sassy Chocolate Lab; and best friend, Betty, is a lively and loveable Black Lab. These wonderful dogs are truly inseparable. Their kennels are right next to each other at Little Shelter, but of course, that’s not close enough. These girls whine and cry for each other and are just ecstatic when then have the opportunity to play together.

Betty and Wilma are happy-go-lucky and full of energy. They love people, adore each other and are a pleasure to be with. Because these ladies are so attached, Little Shelter is looking for a family to adopt both of them.

If you have room in your home and your heart for Wilma and Betty, please call or stop

by Little Shelter.

As a result of the Rescue Crew’s persistency in maintaining good and adequate CPR and Advanced Life Support, they afforded the patient the best chance of survival and she was later released from the hospital.

The rescue crew of

Captain/EMT Thomas Bourne, EMT-CC Charlie Maury, EMT Marilyn Resch and Firefighter Vincent Pastore were presented with Pre-Hospital Save Awards by the Suffolk Regional Emergency Medical Services Council on January 13th.

In addition, the crew received EMS Medals for their Lifesaving actions presented by the East Northport Fire Chiefs on February 9th.

Keynote Speaker Dr. Errol Toulon Jr., deputy commissioner for operations of the New York City Department of Correction and a former assistant deputy Suffolk County executive for public safety, will deliver the keynote address at the Town of Huntington’s 28th Annual Black History Month Celebration February 26th.

Dr. Toulon has had a long and distinguished career in criminal justice, including 22 years as a uniformed member with the Department of Correction from 1982 to 2004.

During that span, he was a supervisor and instructor at the Correction Academy, the Firearms and Tactics Unit, the Emergency Service Unit and the Office of Compliance Consultants. As a Suffolk assistant deputy county executive, he oversaw eight public safety departments, including the Suffolk County Police Department and the Department of Fire, Rescue and

Emergency Services. He also chaired the Suffolk County Criminal Justice Coordinating Council, whose mandate is to enhance criminal justice policy and program decision-making by improving understanding of crime and criminal justice programming.

Dr. Toulon rejoined the city department of correction last July in a newly-created post in which he serves as a senior advisor to the commissioner on all aspects of operations and system improvements and directly supervises the Department’s Correction Academy, the Intelligence Unit, the Policies and Procedures Unit, and the Office of Policy Compliance. From 1999 to 2011, Dr. Toulon was president of Silent Partners International, a private security and corporate investigations consulting firm.

Dr. Toulon holds a doctorate in education

and a master’s in business administration from Dowling College, a bachelor’s degree from Monroe College, and an associate’s degree from Kingsborough Community College.

The Black History Program, which will begin at 7 p.m. at the Jack Abrams STEM Magnet School, 151 Lowndes Ave., Huntington Station, will also feature music by Leon Jamison, Courtney Daniels and the town-wide choir, Voices of Huntington, along with a dance performance by the Venettes Cultural Workshop and original poetry performed by Crystal Cacho.

A collation will follow the program. The public is invited to attend; admission is free. For further information, contact Kevin Thorbourne, Director of Minority Affairs, 631.351.2842, k t h o r b o u r n e @ huntingtonny.gov.

Lauding him for his heroic efforts in helping to save the life of a young boy, Suffolk County Legislators Lou D’Amaro and Bill Lindsay III presented New York State Trooper Christopher Nolan, a Melville resident and volunteer firefighter, with a Proclamation at the Legislature’s February General Meeting in Hauppauge. He was joined at the presentation by his wife Michelle and children Sarah and Christopher.

Trooper Nolan, who is also the Melville Fire Department’s Third Assistant Chief, was on duty as a New York State Trooper on January 3rd when he heard a call about an 8 year-old boy in

respiratory distress. The boy was in route to the hospital in his mother’s car on the Southern State Parkway when he suddenly suffered a seizure and stopped breathing. The boy’s mother pulled over and after Trooper Nolan arrived on the scene, he promptly determined that the child was suffering from a blocked airway.

Using his emergency medical training, Trooper Nolan was able to open the boy’s airway and get him breathing again. He continued to administer critical treatment until emergency vehicles arrived and took the boy to the hospital, where he spent ten days before making a full recovery.

“The New York State Troopers do a tremendous job to serve, protect and defend our residents,” said Legislator Lindsay III. “Christopher Nolan displayed true courage and heroism for resuscitating a young child and I thank him for his immediate, decisive action and for his exceptional dedication to ensuring the safety of those in our community.”

“There is no question that Trooper Nolan’s quick but calm response was instrumental to this boy’s survival,” said Legislator D’Amaro. “I commend him for his heroic actions and proudly recognize his service to both the local Melville community and the entire region.”

WordMasters Challenge A team of 12 fourthgrade Thomas J. Lahey Elementary School students recently competed in the annual WordMasters Challenge, a national vocabulary competition for students in grades 3-8 that encourages growth in vocabulary and verbal reasoning.

Working together, the Harborfields Central School District fourthgraders scored an impressive 188 points, out of a possible 200 in the first of three meets this year, earning them the fourth place national title.

Coached by the school’s enrichment teacher Christine Mayr, fourthgraders Aidan Brancaccio and Lindsay Sung earned perfect scores in the difficult Blue Division of the national language arts challenge.

From more than 6,600 fourthgraders who participated in the challenge, only 100 students achieved this accomplishment.

In addition, fourthgraders Michael Considine, Sarah Durham, Alexandra Ebanks, Libby Kelly, Julia McDonagh, Thompson Monhtashemi, Dane

Smith, Thomas Spatafora, Maximillian Stratton and Drea Yorio achieved outstanding individual scores in the challenge, placing them in the top fifth percentile nationally.

In recognition of the team’s national success, the fourth-graders and their teacher were honored at the February 11th Board of Education Meeting.

Each year over 125,000 students from public and private schools throughout the United States participate in the WordMasters Challenge.

Dressing The Part As a culmination to the class read aloud of Pippi Longstocking by Astrid Lindgren, students in Denise Sullivan’s secondgrade class at Washington Drive Primary School in the Harborfields Central School District dressed as book characters and enjoyed special activities that aligned with the story.

Lindgren’s novel tells the story of Pippi, a pigtailed redhead who lives alone in a huge house with a pet monkey, a horse

and a suitcase full of gold.

With an imaginative and unique personality, the adventurous nine-year old aspires to be become a pirate when she grows up and live out at sea like her father, Captain Ephraim Longstocking.

Inspired by the novel, girls came to class dressed as Pippi Longstocking while boys wore pirate attire with eye patches and traditional pirate hats.

Students had the opportunity to watch the original 1969

Half Hollow Hills Library

The Half Hollow Hills “Pippi Longstocking” film and experience some of Library will present the Pippi’s favorite Swedish following events: Art House Films At Half cookies and caramel candy. Subsequent to the Hollow Hills Community Library movie, Sullivan led a class Wednesday, February discussion comparing and 25th, at 6:30 p.m. contrasting the movie Melville from the book.

Featuring The Maid.

“This is something I started a few years ago 2005; PG-13. *** with my students and it has become one of the highlights of the school year,” said Sullivan.

As part of a culminating curriculum-based activity, students in Susan Turrini and Augustino Rettino’s fifth-grade classes at Thomas J. Lahey Elementary School in the Harborfields Central School District presented their United Nations projects for parents and peers on February 11th.

Keep Calm & Plan Your Wedding Thursday, February 26th, at 7 p.m. - Dix Hills Designed for brides, grooms and those involved in the wedding planning process. *** Feature Films At Half Hollow Hills Community Library

The fifth-graders worked in groups and posed as “ambassadors” to one of the 192 United Nation countries. Each group created a booth to highlight a few of the unique features of their country including, factual travel brochures, political maps, flags, banners, traditional foods and artifacts that represent

their country. In addition, students performed different choral readings about the United Nations.

“This is an excellent opportunity to for the students to learn about different cultures, countries and the United States,” said Turrini.

Research Paper Published Two Suffolk County Community College students’ research papers have been published on the web site Skeptical Science whose goal is to explain what peer reviewed science has to say about global warming.

The web site says, “Skeptical Science removes the politics from the debate by concentrating solely on the science.”

Christopher J. Mignano of Shirley and Neil P. Costa of Shoreham, both students of Professor of Physical Sciences and Assistant Chair of the Physical Sciences Department Scott Mandia debunked two climate change myths as part of their research in Mandia’s Global Climate Change Class.

In The Medieval Climate Anomaly: A Myth Debunked, Christopher Mignano wrote that Global Climate change skeptics erroneously point to data regarding the Medieval Warm Period as

evidence that the current warming observed by scientists globally is part of a natural, cyclical climate phenomenon and therefore not anthropic.

These sceptics often use a practice known as “cherry picking” to mine data that support their arguments while ignoring the remaining data that could potentially refute it.

Mignano continued later in his research with: …today’s warming is global in scope, (whereas the warming experienced during the Medieval Warm Period was regional) and global temperatures then, were cooler than today.

In fact, recent research conducted by Shaun A. Marcott et al and published in the journal Science suggest global temperatures are warmer today than at any time in the last 20,000 years (Skeptical Science, 2014).

In student Neil Costa’s research paper, The Serious Nature of Ocean

Acidification and Its Implications for Human Beings, Costa wrote that: One of the greatest myths perpetuated by the global climate change contrarians is that ocean acidification is not serious.

This is not true. Ocean acidification has been proven to be occurring, and is a result of unnatural amounts of carbon being introduced into the atmosphere by humans.

More importantly, ocean acidification is a serious issue, and is capable of putting extreme stress on human beings. This myth, this ignorance of the dangers associated with ocean acidification, does not take into account the fundamental balance of the oceanic ecosystem, as well as human reliance on it. Ocean acidification destroys the calcium carbonate covers plankton protect themselves with through the unavailability of materials and outright corrosion. This decreases

the plankton population’s size, vigor and number, leading to adverse effects on the populations of all other oceanic species that play a role in this food chain, including humans, a sizeable portion of who rely on seafood as their primary source of protein.

Professor Mandia’s course, Global Climate Change, brings modern climate change science to undergraduate liberal arts students and provides students with the scientific background to understand the role of natural and human-forced climate change so that they are better prepared to become involved in the discussion.

Students learn how past climates are determined and why humans are causing most of the observed modern day warming. The technical and political solutions to climate change are also discussed.

“Very quickly, students come to realize that

climate change is the most important news story they are not hearing enough about,” Mandia said.

“They also realize that action is required now if we wish to avoid the most serious consequences. I am fond of telling my students that I hope there are 35 activated climate change ambassadors by the time the semester is finished.”

Professor Mandia is

one of 13 international scientists and professors who are instructors in the Massive Online Open Course (MOOC) titled Making Sense of Climate Science Denial.

This MOOC is set to go live in April 2015 and is produced

by The University of Queensland, Australia.

LICADD Meeting Home Oversight Committee.

“In order to have an effective and inhabitable sober home there will need to be standards and practices that meet best practices and protocols.”

What is a sober home?

A sober home is where individuals live after intensive treatment. They move into a home that is safe and free of drugs and alcohol and where they can embrace recovery.

This supportive environment provides aftercare and a safe haven for individuals to take the steps needed to continue

their journey and reintegrate into the community armed with the coping skills to manage everyday stressors and the pressures of everyday living.

The advocacy effort pressed on to address early prevention through education. “Schools need access to funds to provide earlier education for increasing protective factors for children at-risk of developing substance abuse issues,” says Teri Kroll, LICADD’s PUSH coordinator.

“Encouraging grass roots

community partnerships to provide these services is an effective and low cost solution to a growing problem,” added Steve Chassman, LCSW, CASAC. Senator Phil Boyle, who headed up the Heroin Task Force in 2014 was in attendance. The task force hosted 18 forums across the state, had over 2,300 attendees, and listened to over 60 hours of testimony.

The information and insights from the Task Force resulted in crafting 23 pieces of

legislation.

These bills supported by Republicans and Democrats will help to encourage prevention, enhance treatment options and strengthen law enforcement.

LICADD is Long Island’s premier non-profit agency providing life-saving alcohol and drug prevention and intervention services to atrisk children, individuals, and families across the region.

With offices in Mineola, Ronkonkoma and Riverhead, LICADD conducts screenings,

brief interventions, referrals to treatment and relapse prevention services to individuals and families impacted by substance abuse.

The agency also conducts evidence-based prevention programs, community outreach initiatives, and a mentoring program for children of incarcerated parents and public policy advocacy. More information about LICADD’s services is available online at www. licadd.org. or find them on Facebook.

On February 10th, LICADD gathered a group of friends to travel to the state capital in Albany to advocate for families and individuals who are in recovery and who need to be in treatment.

The topics of discussion revolved around sober home regulation and early prevention through education. “Sober homes currently are not regulated,” says LICADD Executive Director Steve Chassman, LCSW, CASAC who sits on the Suffolk County Recovery
