awareness that addiction is a disease and that many people go on to lead a healthy, productive life in recovery. She especially wants educators, families and professionals to know that sobriety at an early age is achievable and that it greatly enhances life’s possibilities. Miss Conner states, “It’s so important to understand that addiction is a family disease,” said Conner. “I experienced this firsthand within my own family.

But I’ve also learned that through treatment and recovery you can break the cycle.”

LICADD is working feverishly to put a stop to the increase in addiction and the tragedies that result from it. Children

and families are being devastated and LICADD offers a solution with preventive education and support services to help break the cycle.

LICADD’s Co-Chair of the Angel Ball is Jay Matuk, Board Member and Principal at Cold Spring Harbor Junior/ Senior High School.

Jay has spent over three decades working in our public schools as both a teacher and building leader. For the last nine years he has served as the Principal of the nationally ranked Cold Spring Harbor Junior/ Senior High School in Suffolk County. Mr. Matuk has presented at several statewide and national educational

annual conventions and has facilitated workshops for Hofstra University and Queens College. Mr. Matuk is also an adjunct professor at the C.W. Post Graduate School of Education.

LICADD will mark 59 years of service to the Long Island community with another spectacular gala at the Garden City Hotel featuring the sensational sound of the Joel Sikowitz Swing Orchestra.

The event preparations begin on March 3rd, 2015 at the Angel Ball KickOff Celebration, held at Kellenberg Memorial High School hosted

by Rev. Philip Eichner, S.M. For twenty-eight years, this annual event

What if there was a dental plan for only $99 a year that could save you half off your dental bills and had over two thousand dentists to choose from in New York?

You would probably say, “What’s the catch?”

Cindy Mirman of Ronkonkomabased EDP Dental Plan says, “There is no catch.” EDP Dental provides individuals and families

who do not have access to standard dental coverage through work with a discount dental plan that has more than two thousand great New York dentists to choose from, and discount fees on all dental work that can save members an average of half off their dental costs.

Mirman adds, “EDP Dental Plan has been providing this type of coverage to thousands of Long Islanders for over 10 years. There is no reason to pay full price for dental care now that EDP Dental Plan is available to everyone, regardless of age or employment. With just a cleaning, exam and x-ray, you will save more moeny than the plan costs for the entire year.”

Student Spotlight

MUSIC’S PLACE IN THE DIGITAL AGE I have a deeply ingrained love for music, particularly listening to new things and looking further into the artists I find interesting.

Unfortunately, what I have noticed as a high school freshman is that I often struggle to find people to share discoveries with who are willing to explore new musical grounds. The general trend seems to be that young people don’t recognize music as a main focal point in their lives like past generations have. Instead, the idea of immersing oneself in this highly spiritual, universal experience is being practiced less, which is evidenced by many of my peers.

On countless occasions, my parents have recounted their time in high school with stories that can all be drawn back to a mutual appreciation for music.

SUBMITTED BY: LUKE KORZENKO LINDENHURST HIGH SCHOOL

Although not all friendships were rooted in their love for the same bands or genres (but many were), people could always find a way to relate to one another through this medium. When people my age find themselves without something to talk about, discussion about a new favorite tune is hardly ever even considered. It is easier to simply default to social media or other means of digital distraction to break the tension.

There is also an astounding lack of devotion to artists nowadays. With the advent of streaming services like Pandora and Spotify, individual songs are played on stations created by the user. Allowing unfavorable songs to be skipped and offering unlimited access to an endless list of tracks gives young people no reason to purchase a musician’s entire

album. To constantly browse through fragments of what is really a large cohesive work does a great disservice to the listener. In order to allow yourself to grow with the artist, you must see the whole picture.

This develops a story that can be interpreted differently for anyone and is what should drive people to become engrossed in other similar compositions. A fast paced society is creating a youth who undervalue music and cannot fully appreciate it.

We are neglecting many opportunities for expanding our knowledge of the world of music and are failing to forge lasting bonds with others within it. While this may be very disheartening, popular culture can embrace new ideas very rapidly, providing some hope for fully inviting music into our lives.

Broken Lines By: Jamie Lynn Ryan Used to be, if you wanted to get in touch with someone, you picked up the phone and called.

If you couldn’t reach them immediately, you left a message – either on an answering machine or with another person associated with them – and then waited patiently for a return call. Tedious, right?

So why is it that, these days, with every gadget and method of communicating imaginable, it seems more difficult than ever to actually, you know, communicate?

Between cell phones and texting and social media, there are more ways to reach friends and family – and even complete strangers – than ever before. Everyone has at least one gadget easily accessible at all times, and yet how often do you find yourself waiting hours (or days) for a response? That is, if one ever comes.

It seems odd to think that communication could almost be made too easy, but that is precisely what has occurred. With the constant influx of e-mails, texts, photo and video messages, Facebook and Instagram notifications

and, oh yeah, actual missed calls and voicemails, I suppose the easiest course of action for some is to simply “ignore all” and move on.

Too bad there are those of us on the receiving end of that dismissive approach – people who, for all our technology and gadgets, actually yearn for that human connection in the form of a personal acknowledgement that said communication was received, processed, appreciated for what it was worth and responded to appropriately.

In a timely manner.

Students - more than 50 in all - from Suffolk County Community College’s Radio and Television Production program are gearing up and practicing for what amounts to their Super Bowl Sunday of broadcast production, the 2015 National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA) Region XV Basketball Tournament that will be hosted for the second consecutive year at the college’s Ammerman Campus in Selden and livestreamed via SharksTV on the College’s website to hoops-hungry fans.

Student camera operators, stage managers, switchers, audio and video technicians are preparing and practicing for the Friday, February 27th to Sunday, March 1st tournament when they will present eight live games over the three days from five camera positions throughout the Brookhaven Gymnasium; including four instant replay angles.

Alan Bernstein, Assistant Academic Chair, Department of Communications said the experience garnered by the students is invaluable.

“This is an all hands on deck production and tremendous opportunity for our students to acquire real life production experience,” Bernstein said.

Bernstein said that alumni of his program will also be involved.

Among those alumni will be Eric Abram and Rich Ballato, who regularly work on professional sports telecasts in the New York area. Prior to tournament weekend, the students will lay cable, check lighting, conduct sound checks and create graphics and introductions for each of the tournament’s 16 participating teams.

Suffolk County

Community College has equipped student-based teams with the skills and systems needed to produce professional, top-quality webcasts, streamed over its website.

The college’s remote production van is equipped with state-of the-art Newtek Tricaster 860 production systems and a Newtek 3Play 425 video record and playback

system.

The student tournament webcast was watched last year by an international audience and by viewers state-wide.

This year’s broadcast will be available from the Suffolk County Community College homepage at www. sunysuffolk.edu during the tournament weekend.

Being in the right place at the right time played a key role in saving the life of a 55 year-old Bayport resident on Tuesday, January 27th.

As the second day of blizzard Juno was winding down, Bayport Fire Department Assistant Chief Paul Dolce was assessing the aftermath of the storm. As Chief Dolce was driving home on N. Bayport Ave he saw a man frantically waving his hands and several other people running towards a driveway. Paul stopped his chief’s vehicle and witnessed a man lying on the ground behind a snow blower. Prior to exiting his truck, Paul called Bayport Fire Dispatch and requested further help. Dispatcher Charlie Zigrosser simultaneously activated the Bayport FD, Community Ambulance Company and the Suffolk County Police Department.

“This Coupon is a great opportunity to try out one of our many great restaurants, while also giving back by helping the needy of our community,” said David Kennedy,

executive director of the Patchogue Chamber.

The Patchogue Restaurant Coupon is available to all. A list of participating restaurants can be found here. For more information or purchase the Coupon, contact the Patchogue Chamber at 631.207.1000 or visit www.patchogue. com.

into effect, Chief Dolce and three neighbors went into action. Arriving at the same time was Chief Dolce, Scott McKendrick, Tom Knapp and Janine Jaeger.

Do to the nature of their professions and having seen this situation before, they all came to the same conclusion that there was a good chance this individual was in Cardiac Arrest. After confirming the victim was indeed in Cardiac Arrest, Chief Dolce prepared the AED (Automated External Defibrillator) and rapidly applied it. The AED analyzed the victim, advising the male did not have a pulse and to deliver a shock. As soon as the shock was administered, Bayport Fire Department Captain Jerry Dietz arrived and together with Janine Jaeger they began rescue breathing and chest compressions.

Shortly after the first shock, McKendrick and Captain Dietz checked for a pulse and it was

determined the victim indeed had a pulse. While continuing patient care and in less than three minutes, the rest of the Bayport F.D., Community Ambulance Company and SCPD arrived on scene. At this time patient care was turned over to Community Ambulance Chief and paramedic Chris Gonzales, as well as other members of the ambulance company who initiated advanced life saving measures and rapidly transported the victim to Southside Hospital. Due to the outstanding joint effort by the Bayport Fire Department, Community Ambulance Company and the neighbors, the patient is home and expected to make a full recovery.

These events epitomize the use of AED devices as well as being trained in CPR. The public and Emergency Service personnel worked hand-inhand, side-by-side to save a neighbors life.

Family & Children’s Association, Long Island’s leading human care agency is seeking volunteers for its new Friendly Visitors program set to begin in May. Family & Children’s Association serves nearly 9,000 seniors each year providing case management, financial counseling, health insurance counseling and other support services.

They will provide training and on-going support to volunteers enabling them to provide companionship

and once-a-week visitation to a local, homebound senior. Volunteers should be able to drive to various locations within Nassau County and commit to one hour per week of socialization with their senior.

According to Family & Children’s Association President/CEO Jeffrey L. Reynolds, Ph.D., “The Friendly Visitor program will add a much-needed socialization component to our cadre of services devoted to Long Island’s seniors. We assist many

seniors’ goals of living independently in their homes and this program will support them in that effort.”

Those interested in volunteering should contact Family & Children’s Association by emailing: lstern@ familyandchildrens.org or phoning: 516.292.1300, extension 2239.

For more information on this event and Family & Children’s Association, please visit www.

STAR Deadline at this time,” states Carpenter.

Applications must be submitted to the town assessor where your primary residence is located. BASIC STAR is available to all New York residents whose combined total adjusted gross income does not exceed $500,000 regardless of age.

This exemption may only be applied to your primary residence.

Any senior receiving or now eligible for the ENHANCED STAR exemption must also submit their completed applications to your local assessor by March 2nd, 2015. To be eligible for the ENHANCED STAR exemption, the property

must be your primary residence, you must turn 65 in the year that the exemption will apply and have an income of $81,900 or less. If the property is jointly owned, only one resident must be 65 by the indicated time.

If you believe you may qualify for other property tax exemptions, please contact the town assessor for further information or call the Treasurer’s Office at 631.852.1500 for exemption brochures.

“Do not delay as we do not want you to lose out on important tax savings through the exemption process,” advises Treasurer Carpenter.

The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) collected over 52 boxes of pharmaceutical medications during the first DEC Long Island Pharmaceutical Take Back Day at healthcare facilities, DEC Commissioner Joe Martens announced today.

Twenty-five long-term healthcare facilities throughout Nassau and Suffolk counties participated in the program, which collects and responsibly destroys unused or expired pharmaceuticals.

“Health care facilities can produce large amounts of expired or unused medications and many have few options for disposal,” said Commissioner Martens. “The success of this collection by DEC is a positive step that will help to protect the environment by preventing medications from entering waterways. We are grateful to all the facilities that enthusiastically agreed to participate in this event.”

DEC received funding through the Environmental Fund for $150,000 to expand the program, which already exists in the New York City Watershed. The program is designed to reduce the amount of pharmaceuticals that are “flushed” by facilities and can end up in Long Island’s groundwater,

bays and estuaries.

Pharmaceuticals have been detected at low levels in New York State waterways and Long Island’s shallow groundwater.

Adrienne Esposito, Executive Director of Citizens Campaign for the Environment said, “We are thrilled that DEC was able to provide this critical service, which benefits all Long Islanders and goes a long way toward protecting Long Island’s drinking and surface waters from pharmaceutical contaminants.

Giving health care facilities a safe and convenient pharmaceutical disposal option has already reduced the number of institutions flushing unused medications, and now participation in this program needs to be expanded and strengthened in the future.”

Participating facilities, made up primarily of nursing, extended care and rehabilitation centers, began storing unused and expired medications in October when they were first contacted by DEC. Environmental Conservation Officers (ECOs) then visited each of the 25 facilities this week to collect the stored medications and brought them to the Covanta Waste-to-Energy Plant in Westbury, which volunteered its services to incinerate the products.

Prescription drug take back efforts began in the last few years. Prior to these initiatives the normal disposal practice was to flush unwanted drugs. With technological advances in analytical techniques, it is now possible to detect very low levels of drugs in surface water and groundwater.

Some drugs pass largely unaltered through wastewater treatment plants and enter rivers and other waterways.

Drugs from heath care facilities, pharmaceutical manufacturing facilities and farms can also find their way into the water.

Flushed medications have been found in New York lakes, rivers and streams which can negatively affect the waterways. A nationwide study done in 1999 and 2000 by the United States Geological Survey (USGS) found low levels of drugs such as antibiotics, hormones, contraceptives and steroids in 80 percent of rivers and streams tested.

Medications adversely affect fish and other aquatic wildlife and increase the development of drug-resistant bacteria.

For more information on where you can dispose of unused or expired medications, visit DEC’s website at http://www.dec. ny.gov/chemical/63826. html#Long_Island.

complete their course of study. They must attend the closest community college or one within a 50-mile radius of their residence. Empire State College’s inclusion in the program has expanded students’ options.

Due to a variety of factors, many volunteer fire departments are experiencing the need to recruit and retain more members. Tuition reimbursement can be an effective incentive for people to volunteer in

their local community.

The deadline to apply for tuition reimbursement for the new semester has been extended to February 20th.

FASNY HELP is made possible by a $4.2 million dollar U.S. Department of Homeland Security Staffing for Adequate Fire and Emergency Response (SAFER) grant awarded to FASNY. For more information on the FASNY HELP program, visit http://www.fasny.com/ resources/fasny-help/

Deadline Extended In 2011, the Firemen’s Association of the State of New York (FASNY) unveiled a historic educational initiative called the FASNY Higher Education Learning Plan (HELP). This statewide community college tuition reimbursement program is geared towards recruiting and retaining volunteer firefighters throughout New York.

FASNY announced a deadline extension - to February 20th - for firefighters to apply for the new 2015

semester.

“FASNY HELP has been a tremendous success and a vital initiative for fire departments to boost their recruiting of the next generation of firefighters,” said FASNY President Robert McConville.

“HELP funding comes from our federal SAFER grant, which has driven recruitment initiatives throughout the state.

We urge all interested students to sign up, and apply for this tuition reimbursement program

before the February 20th deadline.”

Under FASNY HELP, an individual who hasn’t already achieved a college degree, or has not taken 80 or more college credits, is eligible for up to 100% tuition reimbursement in exchange for maintaining good grades and fulfilling service requirements in one of New York’s volunteer fire companies. There is no restriction on the type of academic course(s) that the FASNY HELP studentvolunteer firefighter can

pursue either on a fulltime or part-time basis.

Starting with the Fall 2013 semester, FASNY HELP was expanded to cover online courses taken through Empire State College.

FASNY HELP funds can be utilized for tuition costs incurred in the fall and spring semesters. Eligible student-volunteers must maintain acceptable levels of training and volunteer activity while attending school and fulfill a service requirement after they

Angie Carpenter, Suffolk County Treasurer, reminds all new property owners that the deadline to apply for your BASIC School Tax Relief (STAR) exemption is March 1st, 2015, but because the first is a Sunday, it is extended to Monday, March 2nd, 2015.

“If you previously had the exemption on a prior residence, you must apply for this exemption with your assessor on your new property,” cautions Treasurer Carpenter.

“However, all residents who currently still reside in their same place of residence as prior years and have reapplied with the State Department of Taxation and Finance do not need to do anything

Woodhull Elementary School’s early elementary and intermediate teams are enhancing their knowledge of music theory as they learn to play the piano keyboard in the school’s portable keyboard lab.

Instruction is conducted in both small group and individual settings and can be differentiated to meet learning levels. Students are learning to play chords aloud and, using

headphones, are able to work individually on other skills, such as note reading.

The fifth and sixth-grade students recently explored the difference between major and minor chords, performing along to a recording of Tito Puente’s “Oye Como Va” at the conclusion of the class.
