SKETCH SUBMITTED BY: JAIDEN FRASER, GRADE 6, BAY SHORE MIDDLE SCHOOL

NOTHING, An empty blank piece of paper, looks white and blank, A rough surface with smooth sides, Tastes like emptiness, looks like sorrow.

No noise, no sound, Alone and sad until...

THUMP, THUMP, THUMP, A person enters the room, with a pen, Anxiously, as if the lottery had been won, and sits in the chair,

CLICK, The pen pushes out its points, its wet ink touches my surface, It glides across, writing words and drawing music notes, Starting to look full, Feels like excitement and happiness, Tastes like joy and sounds like bells, FINALLY, happy, I have joy, I am as happy as a child, on Christmas Day. I am now filled, With words.

Student Spotlight

Charity Co-Founder and Chairman Jamie Austin presented the donation checks to board members of Long Island Community Chest, $60,000; the National Foundation for Human Potential, $20,000; Genesis School, $20,000; ROHHAD Fight Inc., $63,356 and Captain Kathy Mazza/Lodge 2163A, $2,210. The funds were raised in 2015 by the Long Island Fight for Charity through its year-long series of events, particularly its 12th Main Event in November when over 20 businesspeople donned boxing gloves and met each other in the boxing ring at the HiltonLong Island. Fight for Charity’s Main Event drew a record crowd of over 1,000 fans, alumni boxers and representatives of corporate and restaurant sponsors and committee members and volunteers to make it one of the organization’s most successful fund raisers since 2003. To date, over 275 men and women have earned the title of LI-FFC Alumni Boxer.

“The presentation of donation checks to the five Long Island charities is a culmination of the commitment and effort put forth by our 2015 volunteer boxers and all the people involved in making the LIFFC mission succeed. Our 12th Main Event was exciting and successful due to the kindness of the sponsors and the many volunteers who participated, especially our boxers. I hope these selfless individuals will serve as an example to other businesspeople as we call for volunteers for the 2016 line-up of boxers,” said Jamie Austin, Chair of LIFFC and Director of Online Business Solutions at Protravel International.

Fight for Charity Boxers are business professionals who believe in “giving back” to the community in a meaningful way. The men and women volunteers went into serious training at five participating gyms

Each ranger is required to reside within the ranger district in which she/he is assigned but emergencies and special events will require them to work anywhere and at any time. Quite often, rangers are asked to assist other agencies with complex emergency or law enforcement incidents that have occurred in or near a forested area.

Since New York has 18.6 million acres of forested lands, rangers are busy year-round accomplishing their unique mission.

Ranger Nally has served with distinction in DEC’s Division of Forest Protection since graduating from DEC’s 19th Law Enforcement Training Academy in 2013 where he was assigned to patrol the eastern Towns of Suffolk County.

Ranger Nally’s patrol responsibilities include protection of natural resources from wildfire and enforcement against illegal ATV activities and off road vehicle use, illegal dumping activities and enforcement of hunting regulations. During his tenure as a Forest Ranger, Ranger Nally has been deployed on a western wildland firefighting incident in Washington state, assisted with the management of the New York Wildfire and Incident Management Academy and devoted over two months of time to southern pine beetle eradication efforts at the DEC-managed Henrys Hollow in Hampton Bays.

Ranger Nally, along with other regionally based Forest Rangers and Environmental Conservation Officers, also provided logistical and transportation support to other emergency response agencies during this winter’s storm Jonas and last winter’s storm Juno.

Ranger Nally spends his spare time with his family in the Town of Riverhead.

SUFFOLK ZONE 3 - NEIGHBOR NEWSPAPERS - WEDNESDAY MARCH 2, 2016 • www.southbaysneighbor.com

New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) Forest Ranger David Nally was named “2015 Environmental Enforcement Officer of the Year” by the Pine Barrens Law Enforcement Council (PBLEC). Each year the membership of the PBLEC gets to select individuals who they feel deserve to be recognized for their work within the Central Pine Barrens. PBLEC consists of more than 26 law enforcement organizations in Suffolk County.

Forest Ranger Nally was given this award in part for his participation in over 12 joint Pine Barrens Law Enforcement Council coordinated All-Terrain Vehicle (ATV) enforcement patrols.

“Stopping illegal ATV riding on state properties continues to be a major focus for DEC and the Pine Barrens Law Enforcement Council,” said DEC Acting Commissioner Basil Seggos. “These enforcement actions

by Ranger Nally and all the other members of the PBLEC

show how DEC Forest Rangers and all other members of the PBLEC are constantly on the watch for these activities. Pine Barrens law enforcement personnel will continue to ensure speeding vehicles and ATVs do not destroy state properties or take away enjoyment of these properties from hikers, runners, bird watchers, dog walkers and other recreationalists.”

John Pavacic, Executive Director of the Central Pine Barrens Commission said, “I commend Ranger Nally for his accomplishments, dedication and commitment to the protection of the Central Pine Barrens. The efforts of law enforcement officers like Ranger Nally have helped ensure that this important region will continue to exist for future generations and we are truly grateful for the service he and his fellow law enforcement officers continue to provide each and every day.”

The Pine Barrens Law Enforcement Council (LEC), under the Central Pine Barrens Joint Planning and Policy Commission, was established in March of 1994 to develop and implement a comprehensive law enforcement plan to patrol and protect the 105,000 acres of pine barrens in central Suffolk County. This Council has grown to include over 26 law enforcement and emergency response agencies (including federal, state, county, town, and village agencies), all of which have some degree of law enforcement authority and/or public safety function within their geographical area of responsibility covering all or portions of the Central Pine Barrens.

Each day and regardless of weather, forest rangers patrol 5.0 million acres of Department-administered public lands and easements by vehicle, boat, ATV, snowmobile, aircraft, bicycle, foot, skis or snowshoes.

The organizers of the Long Island Fight for Charity have launched its Annual “Call for Boxers.”

Long Island Fight for Charity, one of the nation’s most unique charity fund raising and networking organizations, will hold its 13th Main Event in November. The Main Event will feature 10 or more bouts between Long Island business professionals who volunteer as boxers in

support of charities serving Long Islanders. To date, over 275 men and women have earned the title of LIFFC Alumni Boxer.

Boxing applications are being accepted now for boxers to enter training and participate in a limited number of Main Event bouts. Men and women interested in becoming a volunteer boxer need to complete an application; obtain medical clearance;

make a commitment to train (gym locations to be announced); attend LIFFC events and raise funds for local charities.

Boxing experience isn’t necessary.

To learn more about Fight for Charity and to request an application to become a volunteer boxer go to info@ lifightforcharity.org or call 877.240.7821. For 2015 12th Main Event photos go to https://flic.kr/s/

aHskq7Zhcd The 13th Long Island Fight for Charity is scheduled for Monday, November 21st, 2016.

Over $160,000 raised in 2015 was recently distributed to Long Island charities including: Long Island Community Chest, The Genesis School, National Foundation for Human Potential (FREE), ROHHAD Fight Inc., and Captain Kathy Mazza/

Lodge 2163A. Since 2003 LI-FFC has donated over $1 million to local charities.

“Fight for Charity sponsors a series of events throughout the year that bring out the best qualities of the men and women in the Long Island business community.

Last year’s Main Event was very successful in terms of attendance, sponsorships and funds raised,” said Fight for

Islip’s A team earned 18 medals and an overall second-place finish overall, solidifying the team’s spot for the state competition.

The B and C teams finished in a tie for 10th place overall in the region.

Southard in Forensics, Sean Dineen and Wendy Tully-Gustafson in It’s About Time, and Dineen and Brian Lithen in Remote Sensing.

“Such a showing was the strongest ever for Islip for all three teams,” said Matthew Christiansen, the high school’s science/ business chairperson. “Our congratulations go out to all of the students on their continued hard work.”

By: Jamie Lynn Ryan March. That month of transition. The beginning of spring and all things new.

A rebirth of sorts. Or so we convince ourselves, anyway.

Why not January, or February? I suppose weather has as much to do with our moods as any internal factors; and, while March makes no promises with regard to its atmospheric conditions, I think we can safely assume that the worst of winter is now behind us.

There is something about the blossoming of trees and flowers, the lengthening of daylight hours, the greening of the now-barren grounds… it signals a revitalization of the year as it stands, a pause in the monotony, a gradual phasing out of the state of hibernation many of us have

been mired in since the holiday season.

Just last weekend, I took the time to stroll along two of our pristine Long Island beaches – one on the outskirts of Northport, and the other out on the North Fork. Sure, it was a bit brisk and barren; but just to experience the fresh sea air, to feel the sand beneath my (sneakered) feet, to gaze out onto the crystal blue Long Island Sound… there is something to be said for venturing outside and exploring.

That said, it would’ve been nice to have maybe just a couple more snow days to vegetate with a clear conscience, to stay under the covers and catch up on Netflix.

The one true “blizzard” was exactly that, one and done, over a weekend. Kind of a waste. The rest of the “snow

days” were more of a minor inconvenience, not nearly enough down time to truly capitalize.

That’s the thing about time.

When we have it to spare, we don’t often utilize it to its full potential, choosing instead to waste it idling away the hours on trivial things like sleep and mindless chores.

Instead, choose to take that leisurely drive, set out on a new adventure to an unexplored corner of the world – even within your own neighborhood. Take pictures, read books, paint, write a song… do things you’ve always wanted to do, today.

Tomorrow may be partly cloudy with a chance of rain; but that also means there’s at least an equal chance of sun.

May spring be that season of hope for everyone.

Legislative Discussion East Islip Middle School’s student government met with Suffolk County Legislator Tom Cilmi on January 22nd, discussing such topics as parliamentary procedures,

“Robert’s Rules of Order” and how to properly organize meetings.

“The students learned many facts about local government and the county legislature

during his visit, and they look forward to having Legislator Cilmi attend one of their meetings in the spring,” said teacher Dawn Ann Zeffiro.

Sweatin’ with SEPTA The Islip School District’s SEPTA organization celebrated its ongoing work on behalf of the district’s special education program with a successful Sweatheart Dance.

The annual community

event, held on February 12th at the middle school, featured a magic show, photo booth, raffles, dancing and games with a DJ, and face painting and crafts with Islip High School student volunteers.

“A little snow could

Lacking in Losses The East Islip Middle School girls volleyball team finished their 2015-2016 season undefeated. This is the second consecutive year that the team has finished without a loss, winning matches against neighboring teams such as Connetquot, Sayville and Bayport-Blue Point.

“The girls that played last year came back strong and set the tone for the

first-time players this year,” said coach Laura O’Donnell. “Each of the girls brought their talent and determination to every competition. They worked hard from the first practice to the final match, earning every win. I think the secret of their success was a well-balanced season of hard work and fun” Nikki LaFrancesca, a second-year player, said,

“Being undefeated once was great, but being undefeated two times in a row is unbelievable.”

First-year player Samantha Winegard added, “As a team we practiced together, we improved together, we chanted together, we won together, we were undefeated together. We are East Islip volleyball!”

Essential Efforts Thirteen dedicated East Islip students – Alex Agati, Emily Alexander, Katie Burke, Traci Byrnes, Nick Carney, Laura Coffin, Sarah Commisso, Beth Hillman, Emma Hillman, Sarah Hillman, Richie Hughes, Megan Lombardi and Jake MacMorris – volunteered to help at the annual clothing drive hosted by the East Islip

Music and Arts Program Support group, also known as eiMAPS. Music teacher Chris Neske assisted in coordinating the volunteers’ efforts at the January 30th event, held at the district’s middle school.

The needed garbage bags and zip ties for the project were donated by Home Depot.

All proceeds from the drive will be used for programs and scholarships for East Islip School District music and art students.

“Thanks to the support of the community, the clothing drive was a huge success,” said eiMAPS representative Linda Hillman.

A Way to End a Day By: John McGowan

Down to the beach I headed late in the day I approached a pavilion And to my delight Through its opening I saw The bay and the sky’s light Azure on top of a bright water so tame With shadows reflected from the building’s frame A day filled with stress no longer stood tall Nature had conquered and made problems seem small.

Essmiller began donating blood and even coordinated a few blood drives when she was in college. “Donating blood is a simple gift that I can make that may help up to three people live another day,” she said.

“That makes me feel like a hero!”

Volunteer Committee

The Suffolk County volunteer committee attended The Fresh Air Fund’s annual Friendly Towns Leadership Conference from Friday, February 5th through Sunday, February 7th at the Marriott Marquis in Times Square. Over the course of three days, volunteers participated in interactive workshops with The Fresh Air Fund’s fulltime staff and community agency partners.

The volunteers learned to how support their Friendly Towns communities, received data management training, communicated with New York City agency partners that register the program’s children, and attended various training sessions such as public relations and social media.

Former Fresh Air child Darryl Rattray, the Associate Commissioner for Community Centers and Strategic Partnerships at the Department of Youth and Community

Development in New York City, gave the keynote speech. Darryl shared with the 250 volunteers in attendance how The Fresh Air Fund’s Friendly Towns Program greatly impacted his life. The closing ceremony included a celebration of long-time volunteer leader and host parent Patty LeRoy for her 50 years of dedicated volunteerism to The Fresh Air Fund. Patty was reunited with her former Fresh Air child Donnalese as well as her current Fresh Air child Krystie.

“What an inspirational weekend at The Fresh Air Fund’s annual Friendly Towns Leadership Conference! Meeting the Fresh Air staff, hearing many amazing stories from former and current participants, learning how to grow the program and re-energizing us to kick off the new season! Only five months till the first buses arrive!” said Eva Lennon, a volunteer from

Harleysville, PA. The Fresh Air Fund, an independent, not-for-profit agency, has provided free summer experiences to more than 1.8 million New York City children from low-income communities since 1877. Fresh Air children are boys and girls, from seven to 18 years old, who live in New York City. Children on first-time visits are seven to 12 years old and stay for one or two weeks. Children who are reinvited by host families may continue with The Fresh Air Fund through age 18 and can enjoy extended trips.

Join the Suffolk County Volunteer Committee this summer as a volunteer host family and help unlock the limitless potential of New York City children. Please contact Jacqueline Shapiro at 516.702.1203 or visit The Fresh Air Fund online at www.freshair.org to sign up.

Spring Gala Set Angela’s House will be hosting its 10th Annual Spring Gala at Watermill Caterers in Smithtown, on Thursday, March 31st.

Join for an evening of fun and celebration!

The event will begin promptly at 7 p.m. with a cocktail hour, followed by a seated dinner and a brief awards ceremony.

This year’s honoree is JVC Broadcasting, who operates four radio stations in the Nassau, Suffolk Long Island market. JVC Broadcasting has hosted an annual Radio-thon benefitting Angela’s House for half a decade on My Country 96.1FM and this year they also featured Angela’s House on their Long Island News Radio Station 103.9FM. JVC also includes the non-profit in their summer concert series at the Pennysaver Amphitheatre, of which they are the operator.

They are expecting over 250 guests, who will be able to participate in an amazing Silent Auction

as well as purchase raffle tickets to enter to win upwards of 100 different Chinese auction prizes!

Let’s not forget, the talented MC Echo will keep the evening upbeat and everyone on the dancefloor. Funds raised from the Gala event will be earmarked for their Reimbursement Program, which provides families with the opportunity to apply for small grants to cover portions of their child’s care and/or critical equipment that their child needs (neither of which are covered by insurance).

Angela’s House, founded in 1992, offers hope for families and children living with severe medical conditions who are medically frail, chronically ill and/or suffering from life threatening conditions.

Their home care programs works with over 650 children that live at home with their parents, by coordinating the home care services needed to support these children

living at home. This may include services such as: medical equipment, nursing support, therapies, medications and making their homes handicapped accessible. Angela’s House also has three beautiful specialty homes that have the ability to offer children, with often very severe medical needs, the therapeutic, nursing and potential long-term care required.

For more information about Angela’s House and/ or to obtain registration materials for this event, please visit: www.

AngelasHouse.org. Please purchase your ticket far in advance as this event sells out.

Individual tickets are $100. There are various levels for corporate sponsorship opportunities, which can be found on our website or by contacting Johanna Rotta at 631.796.2723 or via e-mail at jrotta@angelashouse. org.

Crisis Counselor Training Everyone has moments when the support and understanding of others seem hard to find, and it is for such moments that RESPONSE of Suffolk County, Inc. was born. RESPONSE of Suffolk County is a nationally accredited, non-profit agency that provides a confidential and anonymous hotline for anyone who needs to talk. RESPONSE is seeking volunteer crisis counselors and will offer a free training program to those interested in becoming the caring voice on the other end of the line.

Part one of the training program will be held on Saturday, April 2nd and Sunday, April 3rd, and continues on Saturday, April 9th and Sunday April 10th. Sessions will run

from 9:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. each day and trainees must attend all four sessions.

Training will take place in the Stony Brook area. No experience is necessary, only a sincere willingness to learn and grow, and the ability to make a six-month commitment of four hours a week is required.

Response provides two types of telephone assistance lines and both are heavily dependent on volunteer talent. The crisis intervention hotline takes over 20,000 calls each year about a wide range of subjects – substance abuse, domestic violence, depression, family conflict, grief, suicidal thoughts among many others.

The support line provides over 5,000 telephone “visits” yearly to individuals who are homebound or

have limited social support due to a physical disability or mental illness. Training for both the hotline and support line counselors includes lecture, roleplaying exercises, and private and group supervision. College credit is available and bilingual volunteers are especially needed.

Make a difference in our community – one phone call at a time. Volunteer as a telephone counselor with RESPONSE of Suffolk County and become the caring voice on the other end of the phone!

Those interested in attending the up-coming training can visit www. responsehotline.org for more information or call the hotline at 631.751.7500. Please apply early, positions are limited.
