Connetquot Varsity Sports Teams Are Dezy Strong

The Connetquot High School boys volleyball, field hockey, cheerleading and kickline teams raised close to $6,000 during a Dezy Day and DezyStrong fundraiser on Sept. 29.

The DezyStrong Foundation is a notfor-profit organization established by Matthew “Dezy” DiStefano, who was diagnosed with stage 4 kidney cancer in 2019.

During his 11- month battle with cancer, Mr. DiStefano, a Connetquot resident, managed to spread the message about the importance of a “Strong Mind Strong Body.” It

was adopted as a mantra among young athletes and the community, as well as the importance of a positive mindset and a healthy lifestyle.

During an evening of

sports, the parents of the student-athletes sold drinks, food, snacks and desserts at a concession stand. There were multiple 50-50 raffles and the field hockey team raffled

off a mum lottery ticket basket. The DezyStrong Foundation also sent a van full of apparel to sell to the community with all proceeds going to the foundation.

Suffolk County And Brookhaven Town Partners To Provide An Addiction Prevention Forum And Free Narcan Kits

Recognizing that the Town of Brookhaven has the highest rate of opioid related deaths in Suffolk County, Legislator Sarah Anker in partnership with Town of Brookhaven Councilmember Jonathan Kornreich, presented the Substance Misuse Prevention Educational Forum, which took place on October 13th at the Mount Sinai High School. The forum included seasoned presenters who were eager to educate the community to better address the opioid epidemic. Information tables, presentations, Narcan (naloxone) training, and a question and answer segment was also provided.

The Narcan training, hosted by the Suffolk County Police Department, included a free Narcan kit and fentanyl test strips.

“With the high rate of fatal opioid overdose in the Town of Brookhaven, one of the most important ways to address this issue is educating our community on addiction prevention and community engagement. This event provided important information for our residents as we

continue to deal with the opioid epidemic,” said Legislator Anker.

“One of the most urgent public health challenges we face is the threat of drug addiction and overdose deaths. It was an honor to work in collaboration with Legislator Sarah Anker and CD1’s Drug Prevention Coalition to educate our youth and community members about substance abuse. I hope that together, we can work towards creating a healthier and safer environment for all,” said Brookhaven Councilmember Jonathan Kornreich.

“There’s no such thing as safe recreational drug use. Fentanyl is popping up in everything. You can’t trust any illegal drug to be what it is purported or labeled to be,” said Mark Murray, Esq., Chief of the Suffolk County District Attorney’s Narcotics Bureau. “It’s a contributing factor to the overdose epidemic in Suffolk County. There are people who are ingesting things they didn’t bargain for.”

“Forums like these are critical in providing parents

and community members information to keep the young people in their lives safe,” presenter John Venza, LCSWR, LMHC, Vice President, Outreach said. This forum was presented in partnership with the Suffolk County Addiction Prevention and Support Advisory Panel, Chaired by Legislator Sarah Anker, and the Town of Brookhaven’s Drug Prevention Coalition, CD1, chaired by Town of Brookhaven Councilmember Jonathan Kornreich. Forum presenters included: Mark Murray, Esq. Chief, Narcotics Bureau, Suffolk County District Attorney’s Office; John Venza, LCSWR, LMHC, Vice President, Outreach; Michelle Schindler, CPP, Prevention Director, YMCA Family Services; Anthony Rizzuto, LMSW, CASAC, Director of Provider Relations at Seafield Center, Founder F.I.S.T. (Families in Support of Treatment) and the Suffolk County Police Department.

“Over 100,000 overdose deaths this year, due to substance use disorder, is a public emergency.

Senator Mattera Working With EJ’S PJS To Collect Pajamas To Help Local Families

Senator Mario R. Mattera (2nd Senate District) has joined with EJ’S PJS to serve as a collection point for their annual pajama drive. Senator Mattera’s office will be collecting pajamas for young children and teens to ensure that everyone has the supplies they need to enjoy the holidays in comfort.

EJ’s PJs has made its mission over the past 11 years to collect and distribute pajamas to the children and teens who need them the most. Started by Patricia Poggi, the effort is inspired by her three sons Edward, Jeremy and Patrick and

involves the entire family and the local community. It grew out of the family’s holiday tradition of “Poggi Plaid Pajamas” when they decided as a family that they wanted to share their warm and happy feeling with those in need.

Now an annual event, it started with a simple bin on the family porch to including organizations with drop-off boxes. Their goal last year was to gather over 1,000 pajamas and they are working with everyone to make sure this year is the best yet.

“I am proud to partner with EJ’s PJs and the Poggi family to help deliver the

warmth of the holidays to everyone. I thank Patricia and the boys for all they have done and invite everyone who is able to visit my office to donate. Let’s make sure that all of our children and teens have what they need,” stated Senator Mattera.

Anyone who would like to donate is invited to visit Senator Mattera’s district office at 180 East Main Street, Suite 210, in Smithtown. Donations will be accepted from now through Friday, December 9th during regular business hours.

Education and empowering individuals, their families and loved ones is a crucial step towards reducing those numbers. Tonight’s forum provided knowledge and resources in efforts to make informed decisions,” Anthony Rizzuto said when asked about the importance of such forums.

Presenter Michelle Schindler, CPP, Prevention Director, YMCA Family Services spoke on healing communities; “By mobilizing the entire community, communities can be transformed. Because prevention does

work... Communities with an active coalition consistently show lower rates of substance use than a community without one”. Michelle then connected this type of community engagement to schools: “Coalition(s) can lift the burden from schools, so they do not have to address substance abuse issues on their own”.

Connetquot Named Among Top Schools By Niche.com

Connetquot High School has been recognized as the No. 21 Best Public High School in Suffolk County and the No. 161 Best Public High School in New York State in the newly released Niche.com 2023 rankings. In addition, Connetquot Central School District was ranked as the No. 18 best school district in Suffolk County.

The annual 2023 Best Public High Schools ranking is based on

parent and student reviews and a rigorous analysis of key statistics using data from the U.S. Department of Education, which includes test scores, college readiness, graduation rates, SAT/ ACT scores, teacher quality and high school ratings.

Superintendent of Schools Dr. Lynda G. Adams said the district is extremely proud to receive this recognition and is incredibly proud

of the students, teachers, faculty, parents and community members who support the success of Connetquot High School and the district every day. “This recognition would not be possible without the efforts of the faculty and staff who work closely each day to provide the best possible education for our students and the support of our parents and community,” Dr. Adams said.

Sachem Spirit On Display For Homecoming

Sachem spirit was on display across the district ahead of homecoming on Oct. 8. Leading up to the big games at Sachem High School East and North, both schools celebrated with a spirit week that culminated with pep rally on Oct. 7 in the afternoon.

Both student bodies gathered at their respective football fields to cheer on fall student-athletes. As each team was introduced and ran out onto the

field, students cheered in the stands. The football teams were brought out last, building up the excitement for Saturday’s homecoming game.

In addition to pep rally, Sachem High School North held its first homecoming tour. The football team, cheerleaders and Arrowettes traveled by bus to some of the district’s elementary schools to show off their Sachem spirit. Students lined the

hallways as the fight song played overhead, wishing the teams the best as they headed into the weekend.

The energy carried over to Saturday, where both high schools held community carnivals ahead of kick-off. Sachem North pulled off a homecoming win against Bay Shore, with a final score of 35-7. Despite their best efforts, the Sachem East team lost to Commack 28-21.

South Country Spirit Displayed At Homecoming

School spirit filled the air on Oct. 22, as the Bellport High School Clippers celebrated homecoming with a parade and football game that brought the community together.

The celebrations kicked off during the week of Oct. 17 with theme days and preparations for

the parade. Students constructed colorful floats that were on display during the annual parade, which also featured the school’s marching band, class courts, cheerleaders, and members of the Bellport Fire Department and South Country Ambulance Company.

The stands were full a few hours later for the homecoming football game. Cheers rang out for the Clippers as they took on and defeated Newfield with a final score of 35-9. The game also featured a halftime performance by the varsity cheerleaders.

day of opportunities for the patrons of Public Libraries in New York State to participate in meaningful, serviceoriented experiences.”

This community service

initiative created by the Suffolk County Public Library Director’s Association and the Suffolk Cooperative Library System began in 2017. It is a celebration of generosity

and spirit.

This year, the Adult Services Department collected supplies for veterans on behalf of General Needs, Ltd, which helps homeless veterans and their families in and around Long Island. Pet supplies were also collected for Paws of War, an organization that trains and places shelter and support dogs to aid U.S. military veterans in need. An upcoming program, “Junk Food” Cat Toys, will hand-sew cat toys in the shapes of tacos, donuts, and bacon to be donated to a local shelter or rescue.

Teens participated in a Community Service project creating Tote Bags for Charity. Toiletries and basic supplies were collected for the tote bags on behalf of Help for People, Inc., an organization helping the homeless on Long Island. Teens also earned an hour and a half of community service for making homemade dog biscuits for the Islip Animal Shelter using the Mutt-i-grees@ recipe on our Learning Commons Teen webpage.

Stars of HOPE, a non-profit organization, helps survivors focus on emotional wellness and healing. Our community has helped us reach those near and far through its kindness for the last five years. Heartfelt words written by our youngest members, along with the collected donations will go a long way in making a difference.

Helping You Help Others

The Charity of the Month for November is Association for Mental Health and Wellness

www.mhaw.org

Since Veterans Day occurs in November, our Charity of the Month is one of Suffolk County’s foremost advocates for the interests of our veterans, the Ronkonkoma-based Association for Mental Health and Wellness (MHAW).

MHAW offers a wide range of support services to Suffolk County veterans by connecting them with affordable housing, medical and mental health assistance, case management, financial and legal referrals, employment assistance programs, and food pantries to help combat food insecurity.

This article in particular focuses on one important component of MHAW’s veteran services, the Joseph P. Dwyer Veterans Peer Support Project. Named to honor the memory of an Iraq War hero and Army medic from Mt. Sinai who lost his battle with PTSD, the Joseph P. Dwyer Veterans Peer Support Project is a peer-to-peer initiative offered in collaboration with the Suffolk County Veterans Service Agency.

The Dwyer Project serves veterans, service members, and their families with such post-service transitional issues as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and traumatic brain injury, although a formal diagnosis is not required for participation. They offer weekly peer groups both in person and virtual, and they also host monthly in-person community resource activities as well as a bi-monthly senior veteran group.

The Dwyer Project’s trained “Veteran Peer Mentors” have served in various branches of the Armed Forces and understand the reintegration needs of those who have been in the military, regardless of era or branch of service. This Project accepts all veterans, no matter their discharge status. All group sessions are confidential and anonymous in a safe, and trusting environment, free of judgment.

“Peer specialists are critical allies for our veterans,” says Colleen Merlo, CEO of the Association for Mental Health and Wellness. “They understand what other veterans are going through and can offer

As described by the federal Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, peer support workers are “people who have been successful in the recovery process who help others experiencing similar situations. Through shared understanding, respect, and mutual empowerment, peer support workers help people become and stay engaged in the recovery process and reduce the likelihood of relapse.”

It is a true power to have this type of communication,” said one a local veteran that is involved with The Dwyer Project.

“My facilitators are fantastic in organizing programs and ideas for how to help each other. The group is fundamental to what we need. When you get veterans together and get them talking, they can work out their issues. This is one of the most important programs for veterans I have ever seen.”

The Dwyer Project’s free, confidential, peer-to-peer approach has attracted support from both veterans and mental health professionals statewide. In fact, this year’s state budget includes funding for this Project in all 62 counties. Additionally, a national veteran peer initiative is pending in Congress, and it all started here in Suffolk County.

If you are a veteran interested in peer-to-peer support, or if you know a veteran in need, call (516) 807-4952 or email mcorinne@mhaw.org. Also, please visit www.dwyerproject.org for more information.

To every veteran this Veterans Day and always, thank you for your selfless service.
