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

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.

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 nonprofit agency providing life-saving alcohol and drug prevention and intervention services to at-risk 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 Home Oversight Committee.

Elementary Science East Islip’s two elementary schools for grades 3-5, John F. Kennedy Elementary and Ruth C. Kinney Elementary, held their annual fourth-grade science fairs on January 29th.

JFK’s winner was Gabriella Schwaim from Donna Marshall’s fourthgrade class for her project, Current Comparisons of Solar Cell Readings.

“Our fourth graders were extremely eager and excited to complete and share their projects at the science fair,” said JFK Principal Aileen O’Rourke.

“The fair allowed our students to research a topic of their choice, while learning many new skills.

They were involved with reading, logical thinking, writing, math and data analysis as well as scientific methodology. This was a fabulous learning experience.”

The winner at RCK was Nicholas Rizzo for his project “Color and Heat Absorption,” which sought to determine whether the colors black and white absorb heat differently.

RCK’s runner-up winners were Isabella Fantauzzi and Jack Verdolino.

“The fourth grade students did an amazing job,” said RCK Principal Danielle Naccarato. “We had over 130 amazing science projects and the judges – who were teachers

and staff volunteers along with science honor students from the high school – had to work very hard reviewing and appraising the students’ submissions. This was not an easy task as all of them did their best to create outstanding projects.”

“I learned a great deal from the students,” said RCK teacher David Lake.

“I was truly proud and impressed with their efforts and creativity.”

Rizzo and Schwaim will represent East Islip at the Brookhaven National Laboratory Elementary School Science Fair on May 2nd.

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.

Little Shelter is located at 33 Warner Road in Huntington. Call 631.368.8770, extension 21, for more information, or stop by the Shelter during business hours, 12:00 noon to 5:00 p.m. on weekends and 1:00 to 7:00 p.m. on weekdays.

On Saturday, January 24th, over 90 parents entered the middle school to participate in a series of workshops conducted by community members and school staff. The goal was to provide parents with information pertinent to the social, emotional and academic development of their child. The day’s learning was not isolated to the expertise of the presenters.

Parents were encouraged to share their own thoughts and expertise. Together, the participants and educators collectively built upon the knowledge that

each individual had. The idea is to learn from each other and foster a strong home-school connection.

Superintendent Dr. Salmon opened with a welcome to the attendees - celebrating the power within the Bay Shore Community. Mr. Gregory Nardone (Board President) and Mrs. MaryLouise Cohen (trustee) also attended ParentCamp to support district endeavors that further community involvement.

Two sessions were offered to attendees featuring programs on everything from helping a child continue learning

at home and being a connected parent to the use of technology and mindfulness. Both sessions offered workshops specifically for Spanishspeaking families. Parents left with information that could be implemented and used right away.

The idea for ParentCamp started with three Bay Shore School District teachers, Amy Nardone (MS), Gerilyn Lessing (MS) and Debbie Olsen (SC) who participated in a professional book study of Beyond The Bake Sale with teachers around the nation.

Last fall, the Bay Shore Schools’ Teacher of the Month initiative was launched in order to acknowledge members of the district’s amazing staff who go above and beyond each day to educate and TEENS FOR JEANS - Suffolk County Legislator Tom Cilmi joined students from enrich the lives of their Islip High School’s Junior Chamber of Commerce Club for the culmination of their students.

“Teens for Jeans” Campaign. In less than one month, students collected 304 pairs This year, Mr. Thomas of jeans for those in need in our communities. Joining the students and Legislator Cilmi are Rene Clock, Co-Advisor for the Junior Chamber of Commerce and Curt Juengerkes, Assistant Principal.

Kain of TD Bank Residential Mortgages (www.tdbank. com/thomaskain) is to be commended for showing his support of teachers and the school-business connection with his generous donation of a $100 Visa gift card to each winning teacher.

Gardiner Manor School’s

Teacher of the Month recipient was School Psychologist Mrs. Dorothy Gailing.

On hand to honor Mrs. Gailing were Board Vice President Mr. Louis Bettinelli, BSCTA President Mrs. Darlene Darch and Superintendent of Schools Dr. Karen Salmon.

Horn Recital Set The MYO Horn Quartet, consisting of three local student-musicians – Islip High School senior Ethan Fields, East Islip High School senior Nick Pepino and East Islip High School sophomore Michael Stevens – along with Ward Melville High School junior Constance Mulford, will present a free recital at

St. Mark’s Church in Islip on March 1st at 3 p.m.

The four will be accompanied by pianist Christine Dore, performing works by Franz Strauss, Reinhold Gliere, Wolfgang Mozart, Franz Liszt, and Vaughan Williams, as well as the first movement of Robert Schumann’s Konzertstucke for four

horns.

This recital will serve as a preview for the Quartet’s debut as featured artists at the Metropolitan Youth Orchestra of New York Suffolk Principal Orchestra’s winter concert, to be held on March 22nd at the Staller Center for the Performing Arts at Stony Brook University.

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.

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

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.

Discussion On Honesty education event.

The students sang a town meeting song and discussed different ways to show respect.

“The Truth Fairy taught us that honesty and respect are the keys to friendship,” said school social worker Allison Siegel. “We also

made boomerangs in our classes to learn about the boomerang effect for respect. When you throw a boomerang, it comes back to you – just like respect. If you treat people with respect, they will be respectful in return.”

Debate Held questions and arguments for and against the death penalty, with many defending a side of the issue that they personally disagreed with. Questions and rebuttals were timed, and each student was involved in all aspects of the debate including researching evidence, collecting data on

death penalty cases and representing points of view for the conservative and liberal sides of the argument.

“It was amazing and brought education to life,” said Cilmi. “The students took lessons learned in class and applied them to real-life situations.”

The Islip Youth Bureau recently completed another successful Teens For Jeans charity clothing drive. High Schoolers and middle schoolers from across Islip Town were able to collect and donate 2,200 pairs of jeans that will be donated to homeless shelters throughout the United States and Canada.

“It’s inspiring to see the sense of service that these young men and women have toward their communities,” said Receiver of Taxes Alexis Weik, who attended the Teens for Jeans Recognition Day on Friday, February 13th. “These

students donated their time and effort to help thousands of people in need, and will play a direct role in improving the lives of others.”

Teens for Jeans is a national campaign in partnership with Aéropostale and DoSomething.org; the largest not-forprofit organization for young people and social change. Teens for Jeans encourages young people across the country to run a jean drive in their school or community to help provide clothing for youth experiencing homelessness. Over a

million young people experience homelessness in the United States every year, and one of the most requested items that young people in homeless shelters ask for is a pair of jeans.

Special thanks to: Central Islip High School, Bayport Blue Point High School, Islip High School, Hauppauge High School, James Wilson Young Middle School, Sachem North High School, Sayville High School, Sayville Middle School, Suffolk County Legislator Tom Cilmi’s Office, and Kennedy LI Realty.

Volunteer Spirit Students from East Islip Middle School’s National Junior Honor Society and Tri-M Music Honor Society volunteered for the annual clothing drive held by the East Islip Music and Arts Program Support group, also known as eiMAPS. The January 24th event collected funding for programs and scholarships for East Islip School

District music and art students.

The efforts of the 13 students – Mike Borelli, Lindsay Carpluk, Ann Deubel, Erica Hayden, Beth Hillman, Sarah Hillman, Sam LoForte, Dylan Lopez, Aileen Meier, Timothy Meier, Joanna Mingo, Justin Taveres and Taylor Triolo – were coordinated by high school music

Home Depot donated the necessary garbage bags and zip ties.

“Thanks to the support of the community and the volunteer spirit of our students, the clothing drive was a huge success,” said eiMAPS organizer Linda Hillman.

MERIT RECOGNITION - Pictured: Assistant Principal Darius Penikas, Allison Lane, Mary Ferguson, Abigail McCabe, Cecilia McCormick and Principal Nan Doherty.

Seven East Islip High School student-athletes – Michaila Dattero, Jackie Ginty, Katie Ginty, Faith Penny, Katharine Newhoff, Anya Schmitt and Christina Talamo – successfully competed as part of the school’s girls varsity winter track and field team at the New York State Qualifier meet on February 8th.

Earning All-County honors for the second

consecutive year, League III and Suffolk Small Schools champion Newhoff finished in second place in the 1,500-meter race walk.

With a second-place finish for all high jumpers in Suffolk County, fellow League III and Suffolk Small Schools champion Penny likewise earned AllCounty designation for the third year in a row.

Newhoff and Penny will both compete in the New

York State Track and Field Championships on March 6 at Cornell University in Ithaca.

Schmitt finished in the top 10 for all 1,500-meter runners in the county, Jackie Ginty placed fifth in the 55-meter dash, while the 4x200 relay team of Dattero, Talamo and the Ginty sisters placed in the top eight.

Valentine’s Day that led the Catholic Church, in 1969, to drop St. Valentine’s Day from the Roman calendar of official, worldwide Catholic feasts and leave liturgical celebration to local calendars. The most common modern day stories involve St. Valentine and the writing of love letters, the tradition of which remains today.

SSCM’s local celebration of the day involved sharing the love with family and friends. Second graders had an opportunity to showcase their best handwriting and art skills, writing beautiful love letters to family members, which incorporated candy hearts and their fondest feelings for parents, grandparents, sisters and brothers.

Students in higher grades focused on love in other ways, studying the life of St Valentine, where the idea of sending love notes started, contemplating the

day historically devoted to love and what it means to them. Their projects included writing up their own “recipes for love” and students’ thoughts on the subject were wide and varied. With their final projects posted and topped off with the beloved I Corinthians 13 passage, feelings that “Love is patient, Love is kind” permeated the second floor of SSCM even more than usual.

Rounding out their acts of heart, students at SSCM participated in the American Heart Association’s Jump Rope for Heart fundraiser for children suffering with heart disease. Raising nearly $1,500, participants designed posters depicting heart healthy activities and foods, then went on to pump their own hearts by springboarding, climbing, playing double dutch and more!

SUFFOLK ZONE 3 - NEIGHBOR NEWSPAPERS - WEDNESDAY FEBRUARY 25, 2015 • www.southbaysneighbor.com

Between Valentine’s Day and National Heart Month, February is a good time to take heart and students at Saints Cyril and Methodius School in Deer Park did so in fun and charitable ways these past few weeks.

It is purported that the roots of St. Valentine’s Day lie in the ancient Roman festival of Lupercalia, which was celebrated in February. For 800 years, Romans had dedicated this day to the god Lupercus.

They would hold a lottery on Lupercalia, in which a man would draw the name of a young woman, whom he would keep as companion for the year.

Pope Gelasius I later changed this to drawing saints’ names, whose characteristics the drawer would emulate for the year.

The history of saints named Valentine is a bit muddled with many varied stories of which one the feast day was after. It was this confusion over the origin of St.

Student Donations High school students in New York are helping maintain the community blood supply by donating 1,100 lifesaving units of blood so far this school year. Students have three more months left in the academic year to make a meaningful difference for hospital patients and aim to win a scholarship from the Bob’s Discount Furniture $250,000 High School Heroes Scholarship Program. The Bob’s High School Heroes Scholarship Program recognizes students who make exceptional contributions to the American Red Cross blood donation program

in their schools, and helps encourage young people to become involved by helping patients in need.

High school students play an important role in supporting a sufficient blood supply.

Blood donations at high school and college blood drives account for up to 20 percent of donations during the school year, which is why scholarship programs like Bob’s High School Heroes are important in ensuring blood is available to patients whenever and wherever it is needed.

Bob’s Discount Furniture has been partnering with the Red Cross for more

than 18 years.

“High school students are inspired to roll up their sleeves to help patients, thanks to the Bob’s High School Heroes Scholarship Program,” said Kay Schwartz, CEO, American Red Cross New York-Penn Blood Services Region.

“The scholarship program helps the Red Cross make a difference in the lives of patients and empowers high school students to take a leadership role.”

“We’re impressed with how successful high school blood drives are so far and we challenge students to finish strong in hopes of winning a

scholarship this school year,” said Bob Kaufman, president emeritus of Bob’s Discount Furniture.

“Since this scholarship program launched in 2009, we’ve awarded nearly $650,000 to hundreds of students in Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Jersey and New York, and we look forward to awarding students again this year.”

Kaufman knows the crucial importance of a sufficient blood supply.

Medical crises required two of his family members to receive many blood transfusions. He lost his father Leo Kaufman and his 16-year-old nephew Scott

Mulready to leukemia. The Kaufman family is forever thankful for the extra time with them made possible, in part, by blood donors.

Through the generosity of Bob, employees, customers and members of the community, Bob’s Discount Furniture blood drives have collected more than 38,000 units of lifesaving blood.

Students who host at least two high school blood drives throughout the year and achieve an annual participation rate of at least 30 percent of age-eligible students at their schools qualify to win a base scholarship

of $250. Students who meet those initial requirements are also eligible to win additional scholarships, including up to eight $1,000 grand prize scholarships per winning school, which is determined by totaling the blood units donated from each school. The winners in each state are determined by the number of students who donate and the total units collected.
