Five Cents, Please BROOKHAVEN NATIONAL LAB WORKERS W/CANCER 1947 -1993 $150,000-$400,000

If you worked on-site at the lab for 250 workdays between 1947 and 1993 for Associated Universities, the AEC/DOE, or a subcontractor, or were a researcher living on-site at Brookhaven National Lab, and were later diagnosed with one of 23 specified types of cancer, I will help you, or direct survivors, get a six figure entitlement award. Awards range from $150,000 to $400,000, and include worker medical benefits, including home health care. This is a taxpayer funded entitlement for DOE workers/survivors. It involves no liability to any employer and is not a lawsuit.

Since 2007 I’ve done this nationally for 3,000 sick DOE workers or their survivors. I have helped more than half of the 928 paid BNL families receive their cancer awards. Non-cancer respiratory and renal disease cases are also possible. Let me ask a few simple questions. I’ll give you a frank (and free) assessment as to whether I can help. I’m not a lawyer and this is no lawsuit. I am a national expert on EEOICPA entitlement. I unravel the frustrating red tape so you don’t have to. You get paid directly by the U.S. Treasury. My fee is so modest L.I. lawyers hire me to do the work for their own family members. No appeal fees. No fine print.

The clerk went on to list the bizarre scenarios she had witnessed over these last several weeks - from people juggling glass bottles (an attempt which, needless to say, didn’t end so well) to the woman who insisted on cradling about 5 pounds of meat in her arms. All to save a nickel.

I have to admit, I was only vaguely aware that this proposed law was set to take effect until I found myself running into the store for some last minute New Year’s Eve snacks. Only then did I see the signs warning of the impending surcharge posted at each register, plastered on every entrance and exit, along with racks of “reusable” plastic bags for sale at each counter. I did some quick math: so, if I buy an allegedly sturdier bag for 10¢ - assuming I get more than two uses out of it, I’ll be

By: Jamie Lynn Ryan

ahead of the game.

I considered further the fact that, nearly every time I am in any sort of store but especially those of the supermarket variety - I am repeatedly amazed at the lack of, shall we say, bagging skills employed by most clerks.

I invariably wind up with either 27 bags with one or two items in each, or the equally daunting 20 pound bag filled to the brim and unlikely to make it to the car without breaking, let alone up a flight of stairs into my apartment.

I’ll bag my own, thanks, I always request. And now, if I’m going to pay for them, you can be sure I’ll be taking matters into my own hands.

Preferably without an armful of glass bottles and pork chops to contend with as well. Just when food shopping was beginning to become routine…

with Jamie Lynn Ryan Seen at the local supermarket last week: a gentleman piling each one of his items into his cart, refusing to pay the 5¢ plastic bag fee that was recently passed in Suffolk County.

“Nope,” he shook his head vigorously. “I’ll throw it all in my backseat and carry every single item into my house by hand if I have to.”

The checkout clerk, somewhat perplexed, acquiesced. “Alright,” she replied politely. “Whatever you’d prefer - that’s why we ask if you’d like a bag.”

As he rolled his overflowing shopping cart away, fellow clerks exchanged raised eyebrows and shrugged.

“It’s one thing when they have a handful of items, but $300 worth of food and perishables?” She seemed incredulous. “That’s really standing on principle.”

What is Catholic Schools Week?

Catholic Schools Week is the annual celebration of Catholic education in the United States. It starts the last Sunday in January, which in 2018 is January 28th, and runs through February 3th.

The theme for the Catholic Schools Week 2018 is “Learn. Serve.

Lead. Succeed.” Schools typically observe the annual celebration week with Masses, open houses and other activities for students, families, parishioners and community members.

Through these events, schools focus on the value Catholic education provides to young people and its contributions to our church, our communities and our nation.

On Long Island, Catholic Elementary Schools celebrate the week with Masses and open houses

January Charity of the Month:

LIGHTHOUSE MISSION!

“Providing Hope Beyond The Food” … this is a phrase often used at Lighthouse Mission, a mobile food pantry on Long Island. This non-profit reaches 2,000 people per week with the mission to share the Gospel of Jesus and feed the poor.

Pastor Jim Ryan is the President of this inspiring ministry, and the story of his journey to become so is so inspiring that it left me speechless.

After meeting with him and touring their quite busy facility, located at 1543 Montauk Highway in Bellport, I was extremely moved by all that I learned about and saw. Lighthouse Mission is a registered nonprofit that operates 100% on donations, receiving no government help.

Their Food Outreach operates weekly on Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays (visit their website at www.

LighthouseMission.com for a full Food Outreach Schedule). Instead of operating this outreach from a single location, Lighthouse Mission chose to go mobile and travel to different locations where those in need could line up to receive plenty of nutritional food, gently used clothing and hear the word of God from one of the pastors working the event. Pastor Jim Ryan

mentioned to me that they were inspired to operate this outreach in a mobile matter because the Gospel tells us that, when going to help others, Jesus traveled to them instead of having them to come to Him. Lighthouse Mission also has a Youth Outreach that operates on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Saturdays. Every Tuesday, they open their facility to high school students and offer them food, entertainment and time to socialize in a Christian setting. Every Wednesday, they do the same for middle school students; and on the first and third Saturday of each month, they offer this for students K-5. All of these events are free of charge and open to everyone.

If you are interested in becoming involved with this organization, there are plenty of ways to do so.

They gladly accept clothing and food donations and currently are in need of winter coats.

As far as volunteering, they accept walk-on volunteers at all of their Food Outreach events.

If you are interested in coming with a group to a Food Outreach event or are interested in volunteering at a Youth Outreach Event, please call their office at 631.758.7584 first for more information.

This charity exists to support the efforts of Lions clubs and partners in serving communities locally and globally, giving hope and impacting lives through humanitarian service projects and grants. Many Lions travel far across the world, providing diabetes training and awareness, eye exams, measles shots, treating pediatric cancer, responding to catastrophic emergencies and so much more. This organization always takes volunteers! Visit their websites and search a club in your area to learn more about how you can become involved.

note of the following:

The mission of the Tomorrow’s Hope Foundation is to provide tuition assistance for families who want their children to attend a Catholic elementary school, but need financial help to make it possible.

The Tomorrow’s Hope Foundation solicits donations from individuals and corporations, and allocates that money to families based on financial need.

A Tomorrow’s Hope grant is awarded anonymously to the family to offset the tuition cost based on family income

and expenses.

Alternately, through the Tomorrow’s Hope STAR Program, specific individual students are paired off with a STAR donor on a direct one-toone basis. STAR program donors agree to contribute $2,500 a year in a donor/ student relationship that often lasts for the duration of the child’s elementary school journey. STAR donors and ‘their students’ have an ongoing dialogue and the donor gets to hear about, and participate in the academic career of a student.

In some cases, schools and parishes also have scholarship funds available. Families are encouraged to speak with the Principal at the school of their choice about the options available.

Allergy And Dirty Ducts (NAPSI)—Allergies are nothing to sneeze at but you can make your home more comfortable for people who have allergies and improve your indoor air quality—by cleaning in an often forgotten place.

Indoor air quality can be a big concern for many families. After all, in a typical six-room home, up to 40 pounds of dust— including dangerous chemicals and other pollutants—is created annually through everyday living. These contaminants are pulled into the HVAC system and recirculated as much as seven times a day. Over time, this leads to built-up contaminants in the ductwork. Since your heating and cooling system is the lungs of your home, you want to keep it clear.

Sheriff Sworn In

The True You By: John McGowan

Fear is driven by an unknown force Keeping you back from pursuing the course It’s not the daunting of a task that holds you back But belief in yourself that you sadly lack Breaking the barrier is the only way To mount the summit your gifts to display.

Diamond or You By: Alexandra H. Rodrigues

I wish fervently that you knew More than a multi-carat diamond I want you.

Although that might not be wise and smart It is dictated to me by my heart.

A diamond would never talk back to me At my side, on my body, it could always be.

A diamond would never lose sparkle or shine I could always be proud to call it mine.

A diamond would never bring me grief Never out of its own will take leave.

Yet – no matter how much the diamond cost It can never replace that, what I desire most.

Sheriff Toulon addressed the crowd during an inaugural speech in which he pledged to devote considerable resources to upgrading technology, equipment and training for staff. He also emphasized his goal to enhance “multiagency informationsharing and intelligence gathering” directed at ridding the county of gang violence and the drug epidemic. He outlined a comprehensive list of priorities, some of which he has already initiated since taking over the post on January 1st, including: · A collaboration with one of the county’s largest health providers to address

the growing number of addicts cycling in and out of the county correctional facility · Strengthening discharge planning for those who are 60 days from re-entering our communities · The creation of a Task Force to find ways to prevent people with chronic mental illness from cycling in and out of the jail by connecting them to case management services prior to their release · Working with citizens, local agencies, and state and federal partners to improve public safety · A program to help the business community better protect themselves, their businesses, and their employees from robberies fueled by the escalating opioid epidemic He concluded the speech with the promise, “I am ready to work. I am ready to lead.”

DID YOU KNOW? The Average Snowflake Falls At A Speed Of Approximately 3 MPH

339789N0124

Almost 40% of a home’s heat loss occurs through the attic.

Improperly vented and drastically under-insulated attic space causes heating bills to skyrocket and air conditioning bills to double in the summer. The solution to this alltoo-common problem is fixed easier than most people think. Using a revolutionary product from Owens Corning to insulate your attic can be done in one day for as little as $1,499.

That price includes the material and the labor to install the product.

This new fiberglass insulation is blown into the attic space with an exclusive process called the Atticat System.

The material is non-itch and closely resembles pink cotton balls, since it has no formaldehyde binders like other insulation products. The Atticat insulation has no chemical additives, so not only is it itch-free, but causes no damage to wires or vents inside the home’s attic spaces. The material is also mold-free, non-combustible and doesn’t settle after it’s blown in.

Being a Platinum dealer for Owens Corning on Long

Island, Unified offers all the products it sells for one low price, and that price always includes the complete installation. Unified offers Owens Corning roofing as well as its insulation materials, and also supplies and installs all types of siding, custommade windows and custom-made doors.

Having started on Long Island 30 years ago, Unified Windows, Doors, Siding and Roofing has grown into one of the largest companies of its kind in the tri-state area. With five showrooms located in Hempstead, Huntington, Patchogue, Brooklyn and Scarsdale, the company has all products on display seven days a week in all five showroom locations. Unified’s team of over 20 in home salespeople make shopping for home improvements as easy as it gets.

Unified’s credentials are unparalleled

in the industry, with over 20 certifications and manufacturer partnerships. These national companies include custom windows by Andersen, Pella and Ideal; premium siding from Certainteed, Alside and James Hardie; roofing from Owens Corning and GAF, as well as doors from companies like Provia and HMI. Every product sold comes with a full lifetime guarantee and is backed by Unified as well as the manufacturer.

One of Unified’s founders and Chief Executive Officer, Steven DiMare, said, “Our unprecedented success comes from our ability to sell and install the best quality products at the lowest prices and by treating every customer as we would want to be treated ourselves.”

Story Sharing

WRITTEN PERSUASIAN - Scholars in the Humanities program at Bay Shore High School learned how to write persuasive letters. They each picked something they On January 11th, local would like to see added or changed at the school and wrote letters to Mr. Pashkin, the senior living community principal, attempting to persuade him to adopt their idea.

Atria Bay Shore welcomed friends and family members to join residents and staff for Better Together, a story-sharing event that is part of an ongoing effort to create a wiser, more connected world.

Better Together was the first in a series of events Atria Bay Shore will host to celebrate the importance of storytelling, as a means of human connection Atria Bay Shore is one of nearly 200 senior living communities across the U.S. and Canada operated

by Atria Senior Living, each of which will host similar events throughout the year.

The event series is inspired by Atria StoryWise, TACKLING MATH - Brook Avenue School scholars know how to solve tough math Atria’s latest intentionally problems! Ms. Michels’ class recently learned how to solve word problems involving crafted gift for its residents and their families. Atria knowledge of multiplication and division.

StoryWise is a collection of thoughtfully curated topics and cues designed to spark memories, tap into personal experiences and help people everywhere connect more deeply through the power of storytelling. It was given as a boxed set of cards to Atria residents and families, and is available to everyone as a free iPhone app. The app allows users to record, share and keep their stories.

Yesterday’s event doubled as a fundraiser to benefit our nation’s most prized story repositories – libraries.

Until January 31st, Atria will donate $1 for every story shared through the wisdom library in the Atria StoryWise app to the American Library Association.

The association’s work

is defined by eight key action areas, including education and lifelong learning – values shared

by Atria Senior Living and incorporated into programs that are offered daily at each of its communities, including Atria Bay Shore.

“Storytelling is a simple and meaningful way to connect and pass wisdom from one generation to the next,” said Kathleen O’Connor, Engage Life Director at Atria Bay Shore.

“Our residents, their families, and our staff loved the opportunity to hear and share stories with leaders in our community while contributing to the American Library Association. I’m looking forward to our future programs around Atria StoryWise.”

SPECIAL PULL-OUT SECTION

Serious wedding style for short-haired brides Women with short hair may lament that they do not have many options when styling their hair for their wedding days. Some may even consider growing out their locks. However, plenty of creative styles exist for ladies without long locks.

Color, embellishments, retro styles and clever up-dos can set short bridal hairstyles apart.

Experiment with color

O

Retro glamour

Brides may want to harken back to an era when glamour reigned supreme. Replicate one of the short styles of the 1940s or 1950s, paying homage to Audrey Hepburn, Marilyn Monroe, Lauren Bacall or Judy Garland.

Braids can add whimsy to shoulder-length or shorter hair. In addition, braids can anchor short locks when an up-do is desired. Braids can be placed into the front or rear crown of the head to look like a hair halo or crown.

Use embellishments

If short hair cannot be gathered into a braid or bun, you can opt for adorned pins, barrettes or headbands to add a touch of sparkle to the look. Ask a stylist to tease the crown of your hair to achieve a little more height and impact.

Half-up style

Many women with short hair find that using bobby pins to pin up select areas of their hair can help achieve a partial up-do look without the need for longer locks. Experienced stylists will know how to manipulate hair effectively to create this look. Small tendrils of hair can be left free and curled for a less structured, more natural effect.

Brides-to-be with short hair do not need to fret nor make drastic changes to their hairstyles to look beautiful on their wedding days. Short hair can be manipulated into many camera-ready creations.

n a day when all eyes and cameras will be trained on them, it’s natural for brides and grooms tying the knot to want to look their best. As a result, many couples invest a portion of their budgets into spa and beauty treatments, with many even hiring salon stylists to ensure their weddingday looks are flawless.

One way to “tress to impress” is to experiment with some color. Well-placed highlights, balayage treatments, ombre or peek-a-boo underlights can add an extra spark to a bride’s normal hairstyle. Speak with a qualified stylist about what you plan to achieve with a wedding-day look, so color can be applied correctly.

How couples can benefit from hiring local wedding vendors

L

ocal vendors are often a go-to choice when couples are planning their wedding ceremonies and receptions.

As the “shop local” movement grows in popularity, weddings present a prime opportunity to embrace this movement.

Couples may have different ideas regarding where to tie the knot, but local vendors can be hired regardless of geography. Brides magazine says the biggest factor influencing wedding location is the size of the guest list and the number of people who wouldn’t be able to attend if the wedding was in a particular locale.

Hometowns might be the traditional choice regarding wedding location, but the XO Group says one in four couples now host destination weddings.

Once couples choose a town or city to host their weddings, they can begin exploring the benefits of working with locally-based vendors.

Familiarity

Local vendors have intimate knowledge of the areas they serve, and that can make for a more personalized, eco-friendly wedding.

Proximity

Local vendors can meet with brides and grooms more readily throughout the planning process, making things less stressful on the happy couple. This also makes it easier to drop off deposits, attend meetings, make fitting appointments or attend styling sessions.

Savings

Couples who travel for their weddings and employ local vendors will not have to pack as much. Using local vendors eliminates the need to bring along bulky dresses,

decorative items, flowers and much more.

Plus, couples needn’t pay to transport any house vendors brought along from back home.

Environment

Individuals who take great strides to conserve resources by reducing their energy consumption and protecting the environment often find that shopping local

is beneficial. Local vendors are more likely to source their materials from other local businesses, reducing their carbon footprints along the way. For example, local caterers may rely on local farmers for their foods, affording couples the chance to host eco-friendly or even farm-to-table weddings.

Customization

Working with local vendors often translates into getting more personalized service and attention than mass retailers or merchants can provide.

Going local when choosing wedding vendors is an increasingly popular choice among couples about to tie the knot.

Local vendors will be familiar with the area and possibly even the location where

the wedding will be held. That can help couples avoid having to give directions, discuss venue protocols and handle other tasks that must be worked out with non-local vendors. For example, local photographers familiar with a particular venue will know all of the best places to get shots, and some vendors may have preexisting relationships with venue representatives that could ensure wedding day operations go smoothly.

Wedding transportation trends

How about something new and blue for the two of you!

C

ouples planning their weddings routinely rely on professional transportation to bring them to and from the ceremony and reception.

According to The Knot Real Weddings Study 2016, roughly half of all engaged couples will hire a transportation service such as a limousine or party bus for their weddings.

Shuttles and buses: Investing in the guest experience means couples are seeking ways to provide comfort and convenience for their guests and wedding party members. Rather than asking guests to get themselves to and fro, couples may employ buses or shuttles stocked with amenities to transport a greater number of people. The Real Weddings Study indicates this type of transport has grown considerably more popular in the last six years.

Exotic limousines: The chauffeur-driven limousine continues to be one of the most popular methods of transportation.

However, to set their weddings apart, couples are trending away from traditional stretch limousines and renting something more trendy, such as limos built upon sports cars. SUV-based limos are still popular, with Hummers, Escalades and Navigators offering the wow factor.

Vintage cars: For that A-list look right out of a classic movie, stepping out of a vintage vehicle creates red-carpet moments. Dream cars for this type of glamorous arrival and departure include

Rolls Royce, Bentley, Aston Martin and others. Many private companies rent classic vehicles. Couples also may contract with those who attend classic car shows.

Water transport: Couples celebrating by the ocean, a lake or a river can make a grand entrance aboard a vessel. Water taxis, pontoon boats and even sleek speedboats may be the transportation of choice.

The Knot says that couples spend around 6.5 months researching their wedding day transportation options and will make their decision and a reservation five months before their weddings. The more exotic the transportation option, the earlier couples should make their decisions to ensure they can book their first choice.

colors. Country and garden weddings can borrow ideas from the landscape, with natural linens paired with wildflowers.

Using whites, grays and beiges enables couples to add a pop of color without overwhelming the setting.

Brides magazine suggests that couples avoid choosing too many colors. A maximum of three with one metallic can ensure that things look cohesive without being over-the-top. Also, brides and grooms needn’t feel pressured by the “hot” colors of the moment. As with clothing and hairstyles, trends change. It is better to select colors that will stand the test of time and look good for years to come.

Color can be a critical component when establishing the ambiance for a wedding.

Color can evoke certain moods and set the tone for the day. Some colors work better together than others, so while choosing a color scheme may seem like an easy undertaking, some couples may find it requires more careful consideration than they first imagined.

According to the bridal guide, A Practical Wedding, wedding colors can give couples a starting-off point for all of the other details of their weddings. This ensures the wedding ultimately has a cohesive look. Colors need not necessarily match, but borrowing on similar hues can make it easier to plan wedding party wardrobes, flowers, table linens and much more.

Some brides may feel beholden to the color white on their wedding days, at least in regard to their gowns. Those who do often embrace the opportunity to showcase their personal styles and set the mood for their nuptials by embracing various colors throughout their ceremonies and receptions.

Colors can come from anywhere, but many couples try to coordinate their color schemes with the season in which the wedding takes place. In fact, couples who are finding it difficult to decide on a palette can look to seasonal colors for inspiration.

For example, pastels and blooming flowers can set the scene for spring weddings, while jewel tones and rich reds and greens may be fitting for winter ceremonies.

Some couples opt for more loosely defined color palettes, such as neutral and natural

Couples may have to incorporate colors already at their wedding venues into their style. Fortunately many reception sites are outfitted in neutral tones to enable customization.

The wedding resource The Knot also says having a basic knowledge of the color wheel can help. Typically, colors that pair well together are those that are opposites on the color wheel. Also, colors that share proximity on the color wheel will have similar tones and play well together.

Examples of opposite colors include purples and yellows, reds and greens, and oranges and blues.

Couples should not be afraid to take some chances with their color palettes, especially if they want to make a bold and modern statement.

SOUTH BAY’S NEIGHBOR NEWSPAPERS

SPECIAL PULL-OUT SECTION

Unconventional wedding menu ideas Taste reigns supreme at weddings featuring creative menus.

SUFFOLK ZONE 3 - NEIGHBOR NEWSPAPERS - WEDNESDAY JANUARY 24, 2018 • www.southbaysneighbor.com

Traditionally, one of the more memorable aspects of wedding receptions is the food.

Whether it was fun, tasty or something entirely new for guests, food tends to leave a lasting impression.

The experts at Boho Weddings say that, more than ever before, couples are seeking menu ideas that reflect their personalities as a couple as they seek to make a statement at their events.

Celebrating with delicious, unique foods can make receptions that much more amazing.

Bite-sized bursts

Tapas and a movement toward small bites has started to take hold at wedding receptions. Such a choice allows guests to try many different flavors without filling up too quickly. From sliders to mini grilled cheese to soup shots to bite-sized pizzas, many of these small bites feature flavors borrowed from familiar comfort foods — just presented on a miniature scale.

Comfort stations and bars

Couples who love comfort food can put it on display with a crostini station, a mashed potato bar, a chicken and waffles station, a gourmet popcorn snack station or a ramen noodle bar.

Food trucks/carts

Outdoor weddings can be enhanced with the addition of trendy food trucks. These

restaurants on wheels can inject burgers, sandwiches, international delights, crêpes, noodles and so many more flavors into a wedding.

High-end options

Couples may want to give guests a taste of the lavish with olive oil and vinegar tasting stations, whiskey bars, French hors d’oeuvres, Kobe beef sliders, lobster tails, risotto stations and more.

Childhood favorites

When it comes time for dessert, some couples opt to avoid or downplay wedding cakes in favor of something simpler. A cookie-and-milk bar, doughnut holes, soft pretzel stations, pie pops or dessert shot jars push creativity and sweetness to new levels. Do-it-yourself dessert stations, such as s’more-making and ice cream sundae stations, also can be big hits.

Couples are increasingly feeling less beholden to traditional wedding reception menus as they look to infuse their personal tastes into the foods they plan to serve their guests. Many catering managers and chefs welcome the chance to work with couples looking to create unique reception menus.

Legislator Steven Flotteron (R-11th Legislative District) congratulated new Eagle Scout David Plocharczyk from Boy Scouts of America Troop 371, Brentwood.

Plocharczyk’s Eagle Scout project was the reestablishment of a garden in front of the main entrance to the Brentwood North Middle School. He did extensive

clearing of overgrown weeds and refurbishing of flower beds and garden design. The center piece of his project was the construction of a wall in front of the garden to keep litter out and provide a sitting space for students waiting for their bus.

“Reaching the rank of Eagle Scout is not only an honor but a responsibility to live

Special Visit

by example for other scouts working toward their goal.

You should live honorably, not only because honor is important to you, but because of the vital significance of the example you set for others.

Living honorably reflects credit on your family, your Troop and your community,” said Legislator Flotteron.

SCOUT’S HONOR - Shown with Legislator Flotteron is Eagle Scout David Plocharczyk.

Animal educator and journalist Victoria Bonavita recently paid a special visit to Mrs. Sobotko’s fourth grade class at Northeast Elementary School in Brentwood to listen to the students share stories about their pets for an upcoming article she’s writing for L.I. Pet Lover magazine.

When she arrived, Victoria was given a very warm welcome from both faculty and students. After introducing herself to the class, she went around the room listening to the students tell their stories.

Some shared the names of their pets, others how they got them. Some, who didn’t have pets,

told Victoria about the pets they would like to have and others shared stories about their favorite animals. Victoria also told the students about her recent trip to Michigan, where she interviewed The Incredible Dr. Pol, and about the time Jack Hanna gave her an opportunity to sit in a room and play with two baby cheetahs.

Some of the students, including Ronald Beltran, Esteban Quiceno, Leslie Saravia, Michael Pichardo, Jazmin Alcantara, Erick Guevara and Johan Guandique, brought Victoria a beautiful handwritten story about why they love their pets.

Victoria, now fourteen,

began her work as an educator when she was just ten years old. At the time, she wanted to share her knowledge of her favorite pets – chickens with her fifth grade class.

To do so, she created her first educational program, “Victoria’s Amazing Pets”.

Today, in addition to her work as an animal educator and journalist, Victoria acts as an Ambassador for Pets and Wildlife.

Victoria said she chose Mrs. Sobotko’s class because of her “excellence in teaching” and was honored to receive such a warm welcome from all her amazing students.

Lego League Qualifiers LEGO robots that will best address the “Challenge” set forth in FIRST HYDRO DYNAMICSSM. For this challenge, students were tasked with identifying a problem within the human water cycle and finding a solution to the problem. Examples might include something as simple as quenching one’s thirst or swimming

in a pool, or as complicated as how water is used to produce food, energy and even technology, among other things. Once a problem was identified, the students then evaluated current solutions and subsequently designed, built and tested an innovative solution, using a LEGO MINDSTORMS® kit, that adds value to

society.

The students will then present the solution during one of six different Qualifier tournaments being held as follows: Great Hollow Middle School • Saturday, January 20 | 7 a.m. to 12 p.m.

• Saturday, January 20 | 1 to 6 p.m.

• Sunday, January 21 | 8

a.m. to 1 p.m.

Mineola High School • Saturday, February 3 | 7 a.m. to 12 p.m.

• Saturday, February 3 | 1 to 6 p.m.

• Sunday, February 4 | 8 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Teams competing in the aforementioned events will then earn the opportunity to subsequently advance to the SBPLI FIRST LEGO

League Championship tournament at Longwood High School on Sunday, March 4th.

For more information on SBPLI and the FIRST Long Island complement of programs, or to become a sponsor, please visit www. sbpli-lifirst.org.

ongoing Mars Exploration Program,” said Andrew Parton, Executive Director, Cradle of Aviation Museum. “Like his first trip to Long Island in 2014, the students are going to experience Kobie’s passion for space exploration first hand. He is a dynamic and engaging young engineer.

We are thrilled to welcome Kobie back to the Cradle.”

Throughout the day students will also take part in an exciting and interactive program utilizing a 25 foot x 25 foot vinyl Giant Mars Map, provided by the Buzz Aldrin Share Space Foundation. Intended to ignite children’s interests in science, technology, engineering, arts and math (STEAM), Cradle of Aviation educators will lead the students in a host of fun and educational activities and programs focusing on the colorful topography of Mars as well as the landing sites of Mars Rover missions. Cradle educators will motivate the children to develop an understanding for real world STEAM-based concepts using the Red Planet.

Leading up to the 50th anniversary of the Apollo Space Program, the Cradle of Aviation’s “Countdown to Apollo at 50” celebration will feature exciting new exhibits, school initiatives and community programs for people of all ages, designed to celebrate the Apollo Space Program and the 50th anniversary of the first successful Apollo mission which took place on July 20th, 1969. The celebration will also pay special tribute to Long Island’s critical role in the success of America’s space missions. The Countdown to Apollo at 50 program is sponsored in part with the generous support of the Robert D.L. Gardiner Foundation and Bethpage Federal Credit Union.

A full calendar of “Countdown to Apollo at 50” program events is available at www. cradleofaviation.org.

The Cradle of Aviation is home to over 75 air and spacecraft and is located on Charles Lindbergh Blvd. on Museum Row in East Garden City. For more information call 516.572.4111 or visit www. cradleofaviation.org.

NASA Engineer to Visit

The Cradle of Aviation Museum is proud to welcome back to Long Island, one of the world’s most authoritative figures on Mars, Kobie Boykins, a passionate NASA engineer on the front lines of Mars Exploration.

Boykins will be on Long Island

on February 6th, 2018 for “Exploring Mars: The Next Generation,” an informative and enlightening event about the current scientific investigation of our nearest neighbor, Mars.

The “Exploring Mars” event is the first school initiative

to be held at the Cradle of Aviation Museum as part of the museum’s “Countdown to Apollo at 50” year-long celebration.

A mechanical engineer at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Boykins helped design and build the solar arrays that have enabled the Mars Rovers currently in space to remain on Mars long after their planned 90day investigative journey.

A recipient of the NASA Exceptional Service Medal, one of the highest honors given by NASA, Boykins is also intimately involved with the latest venture to Mars, the Mars Science Laboratory, better known as Curiosity. Currently making headlines with evidence that conditions on Mars, including the presence of water, once could have supported life, Boykins is a lead supervisor on the initiative.

Now on a mission to bring his passion for space exploration to students and teachers worldwide, Boykins will meet with over 400 students, educators and fascinated space enthusiasts from across Long Island and Brooklyn at the Cradle of

Aviation’s unique, handson event. Boykins will recount the challenges and triumphs of the Mars Rover Exploration mission, share insight into Curiosity’s findings, and share remarkable images and discoveries that continue to come to us from the Red Planet. Participating schools include South Huntington’s Stimson Middle School, Franklin Square’s Polk Street School, Freeport’s New Visions School and Giblyn Elementary School, Levittown’s Wisdom Lane Middle School, Baldwin High School and Brooklyn Technical High School.

Pediatric patients at the Cohen’s Children’s Medical Center will also participate in the event live, by video conference, through the Cradle of Aviation’s support of the Companions in Courage Foundation.

Founded by NHL Hall of Famer, Pat LaFontaine, Companions in Courage connects hospitalized children with their family, friends and heroes.

“Few events in the last decade of space exploration have captured the world’s imagination like NASA’s
