Delivering safe, reliable natural gas service to our customers is our top priority. Pipeline safety is something we take very seriously at National Grid. Even though most lines are buried underground, that doesn’t mean you can ignore them.

Keep your family and community safe by helping to prevent gas leaks. Always call New York 811 at 811 or1-800-272-4480 before you dig.

Know the signs of a gas leak and what to do – if you smell gas, act fast. We’ve added a spoiled egg smell that makes natural gas easier to identify. Look for bubbles in standing water, a white cloudy mist or blowing dust, which indicates that an underground gas line may have ruptured; or, listen for a hissing, roaring or whistling sound.

To report a gas emergency, call National Grid at 1-800-490-0045 or 911. www.ngrid.com/safety 318749N1228

The Closing Chapter By: Jamie Lynn Ryan

When you look back over the course of your life, there are often certain places that seem to stand out as the setting for your most treasured memories.

For me, that place was always my grandparents’ house.

From holiday gatherings to backyard barbecues, childhood sleepovers to Yankee baseball game viewing; countless events were centered on that old beloved split level. My grandparents had moved there in 1960, one of the first of their family to have had the opportunity to “move eastward” to the country-like expanses of Long Island from the cozy

confines of Long Island City.

With them came my then eight year-old mother and my four year-old uncle, followed a number of years later by my aunt; and thus the perfect “starter” home became the setting for the decades of memories which followed, not only for them but for the next generation as well – myself included.

Little did they know that the nearly vacant block they moved onto would grow into the close-nit community it is today, filled with neighbors and friends, and even a few family members, on the surrounding streets.

Fifty-six years later, the house that became a home

to us all is no longer “in the family,” passed on to another young couple, moving from the city, looking to begin their lives in the suburbs in much the same way that my grandparents had all those years ago. Sure, it was only a house; but it served as so much more to all those who had the pleasure of stepping foot across its threshold.

And so, with the end of 2016 comes the closing of yet another chapter for my family. Life goes on, to be sure; but some things leave a sizable imprint so that life – as it was known, and lived – is never quite the same.

Farewell to #580…

Thanks for the memories.

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.

Toiletry Drive Students throughout James Wilson Young Middle School in the Bayport-Blue Point School District recently put in extra care and effort to help ensure that individuals in need would be able to enjoy a safe and happy holiday this year.

Eighth-grade class club officers, with assistance from the seventh-grade class club officers, were

able to collect enough toys for the Toys for Tots initiative to fill four large cardboard boxes to the brim. According to their website, the mission of the U. S. Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots Program is to collect new, unwrapped toys during October, November and December each year, and distribute those toys as holiday gifts to less fortunate children

in the community in which the campaign is conducted.

Additionally, members of the National Junior Honor Society hosted a collection drive in order to provide less fortunate individuals with necessary toiletries. The students were able to collect almost 1,000 separate items, all of which were donated to the Patchogue Neighbors Inn.

The works of watercolor artist Essie Freilach will be on display through January

27th at Apple Bank, 91 Route 111 in Smithtown. For information, contact the STAC at 631.862.6575.

The Islip Indoor Winter

Farmers Market will be held on Saturdays through March 25th at Christ Evangelical Lutheran Church, 117 Carleton Avenue in Islip Terrace, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Utilizing Skills In an effort to help students build multilingual skills, fifth-graders at both Academy Street and Blue Point elementary schools were recently visited

by Bayport-Blue Point High School juniors in the college level Spanish class and seniors from the Advanced Placement Spanish program for a

“Cultural Breakfast and Book Exchange,” an initiative sponsored by the SEED program.

Throughout the course of the event, the fifth-graders were given the opportunity to showcase the books they made in their Spanish classes, and explain to the upperclassmen fun facts about themselves using

the Spanish language.

Additionally, a large feast was prepared for the students, and they were asked to place their order for such items as empanadas and mango nectar while using their newly adopted language skills.

UTILIZING SKILLS - Fifth-graders at Academy Street and Blue Point elementary schools recently took part in the “Cultural Breakfast and Book Exchange,” an event which allowed them to converse in Spanish with Bayport-Blue Point High School students. This photo was taken during the event held at Blue Point Elementary School.

Districtwide Accomplishments The December 13th Connetquot Central School District Board of Education Business/Audit Committee meeting was full of recognitions and celebrations, celebrating multiple students from throughout the district for their varied accomplishments.

The night began with the recognition of Connetquot High School’s girls varsity volleyball team, who recently traveled upstate to Glens Falls, to compete in their second consecutive New York State Championship Finals. Although the team fell short of this year’s

top state honors, their successes are bountiful as they remain threetime Suffolk County Champions, two-time Long Island Champions, 2015 New York State Champions and 2016 New York State Finalists.

During the meeting, both the district and Sen. Tom Croci and Legislator Tom Cilmi recognized the team members and their coaches for their sportsmanship and athleticism.

The varsity girls swim team members were also congratulated for earning personal best times this year, and were collectively

honored for being ranked second in their league and second in the county.

Additionally, they were praised for attaining the title of Suffolk County Champions in 200m freestyle relay; a title they have held for the last seven years.

The girls varsity gymnastics team was also honored for their undefeated 2016 fall season record, for being ranked first in League II, and having advanced to compete in the Suffolk County finals. This year marked a special one for the team, as it included a male addition, Liam

Summers, who is the first boy ever to be on a Section XI girls gymnastics team.

The girls varsity cross-country team was celebrated for tying for second place in the league and for many team members attaining personal records.

According to coach Mike Austin, he calculated that this team would have been 30 to 40 points over any other team in Connetquot history and noted that team member Kelly Iocca was the number one runner in the league and set six school records this year.

Cathy Mongiello’s fifth-

grade class at Cherokee Elementary School was highlighted for recently winning the Sumdog’s Eastern Suffolk Math Contest. Student Brandon Ziegler came in first place, scoring a total of 985 out of 1,000 points, and in doing so the class won a free subscription to Sumdog’s Math Games. The contest paced students with a limited time, and tested both their accuracy and speed.

In keeping with the theme of mathematics, Amanda Perrone, a ninth-grade student at Connetquot High School, was named Long

Island Young Scholar of Mathematics by the Institute of Creative Problem Solving for Gifted and Talented Students at SUNY College at Old Westbury.

As such, she has been accepted by the Institute to pursue mathematics and mathematical science applications. To qualify for this honor, Amanda competed in one of three program divisions against approximately 600 of the top-ranking students nominated from school districts all over Long Island.

Winter’s Might By: Joan Amato

Cold came down tonight Erasing the warmth of light fall days . . .

Winds react with wrath Reminding us of Sandy’s menace Howling like gods of old Warning us of days untenable Yet succumb to quiet, softness Among winter’s incoming fright . . .

Bay waters recoil Roiled by the north wind Waters dance and churn in its fury Rippling its crests over and over again . . .

I spy the crescent moon Through my window A half smile up within my view And hear the wind whip about Singing a song of soft moaning As the crescent moon In its ebony backdrop Ushers in winter’s frigid beauty.

Without You I Am Lost SUFFOLK ZONE 4 - NEIGHBOR NEWSPAPERS - WEDNESDAY DECEMBER 28, 2016 • www.southbaysneighbor.com

By: Alexandra H. Rodrigues

Winter is on its way In the snow little kids will play Thermostats will be set on high to run.

Holidays promise to be great fun.

Order in the world is for what we pray.

Under God’s rules we aim to stay.

Together let’s unite here or far away.

Year after year a star adorns the tree top, Our fireplace burns to let the kernels pop.

Upholding the good old tradition I make with pleasure always my mission.

Around the house and in the yard Music of bells and flutes become a part.

Love and caring for one another Outs all fear that lately does bother.

Sadness is not part of the deal.

To believe and pray is a way to heal.

Bide-a-Wee Support

Connetquot Teachers Association (CTA) President Anthony Felicio, Jr., working with Mrs. Beth Albert, arranged for a very special visit by a number of little friends who would bring “comfort and joy” to the faculty and staff of Connetquot High School!

Felicio arranged for the BideAwee Pet Adoption Center of Wantagh, to bring a few friends to visit the staff, and collect a $200 donation by the CTA to support the important work of the organization.

“The Connetquot Teachers Association would like to thank its member and BideAwee volunteer Ms. Beth Albert for coordinating today’s event,” said Felicio. “It is a pleasure supporting such a wonderful organization that does so much for abandoned, and abused, pets, and the families that adopt them. The volunteers do amazing work to ensure the safety and well-being for so many adorable “furbabies. I am sure these sweet and adorable puppies

found their “fur-ever” homes today.”

BideAwee is a global leader in animal welfare and is committed to cultivating and supporting the lifelong relationships between pets and the people who love them. BideAwee relies on donations from animal lovers to continue to provide the comprehensive array of high quality services that improve the lives of pets.

Connetquot High School’s Student Government recently hosted its annual Holiday Character Breakfast to provide community residents with a fun and safe holiday environment to celebrate the festive season.

More than 50 high school

students volunteered to take part in this year’s event and each volunteer was dressed as a well-known character from children’s stories. The admission fee entitled the children and their families to enjoy breakfast in the cafeteria, alongside the opportunity to meet with some of

Character Breakfast their favorite characters, including Santa Claus.

“This event is such a success because of the outstanding student volunteers and teachers who love to work with the children of the community,” said Jen Piscitelli, co-advisor to the CHS Student Government.

HOLIDAY FUN RUN - More than 150 runners recently participated in the sixth annual Connetquot School District Habitat for Humanity Club’s 5K and Santa Fun Run. The event’s fundraising efforts drew in a grand total of $5,000, which will be donated Habitat for Humanity of Suffolk County to help build new homes throughout the community.

smiles to their faces, and make the holiday season brighter and more joyful, brings our members great joy and happiness as well,” said CTA President Anthony Felicio, Jr. “Teachers exemplify thoughtfulness, kindness, and generosity throughout the school year inside and outside of the school house, but doing so around this time of year brings warmth to all of our hearts.”

The Children’s Center at the Cohalan Court Complex, which is operated by the Education & Assistance Corporation (EAC), provides a safe environment for youngsters while their families are involved in court proceedings. For more than a decade, the Connetquot teachers have supplied children’s books,

healthy snacks, bottled water and fruit juices, tissues and paper towels to be used by the youngsters visiting the center. The Center is open five days per week, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., and has serviced over 1,000 youngsters last year.

Connetquot teachers have also provided hats, scarves and gloves for the children that visit the center. When children leave the center with their parent, they leave with a new book, and warm clothes.

According to CTA member Carolyn Paul, “This was an amazing experience.

So many donations by Connetquot teachers, and the association, make me realize that we really do work in the best school district on Long Island!”

STUDENT OF THE MONTH - On December 19th, Councilman Kevin LaValle visited Sachem High School East to honor December Student of the Month Elias Zaoutis.

In addition to being a strong student academically, Elias is captain of the varsity soccer team, a member of the business honor society, and is involved in numerous extracurricular activities outside of school. Next fall, Elias is off to college to pursue a degree in finance.

NORTH POLE VISIT - On December 15th, Councilman Michael Loguercio (left) visited the “North Pole” at the Town of Brookhaven’s INTERFACE Program headquarters in Patchogue. The location is used to store and distribute toys donated during the Town’s INTERFACE Toy Drive. Pictured with Councilman Loguerio are student volunteers from Emanuel Lutheran School in Patchogue.

Kindergarten students at Connetquot Central School District’s John Pearl Elementary School were recently treated to a very special visit from Santa Claus in an effort to spread some holiday cheer before the holiday break.

Santa spoke to the students about this exciting time and distributed small gifts to each of them. Under the direction of kindergarten teachers Beth Edson and Courtney Trinkwald, the students also sang holiday

tunes for the parents, and enjoyed celebrating this annual event with tasty treats.

New Year’s Eve Safety Tips Choose a spot that’s well lit and easily accessible to all, and confirm the location of the meetup spot via a group text message before heading out for the night.

New Year’s Eve is one of the most festive nights of the year. Many people spend the final moments of the year celebrating with family and friends. As joyous as such celebrations tend to be, it’s important that New Year’s revelers keep certain safety precautions in mind when celebrating the end of one year and the dawn of the next.

being on the lookout for fellow motorists who might be driving erratically. If possible, take public transportation to and from the festivities so no one is tempted to drive after consuming alcohol.

Pick a meetup spot in case anyone gets separated from

the group. New Year’s Eve celebrations in public places such as bars, clubs or town squares tend to become crowded as midnight draws near. It’s easy for groups of friends or family to be separated, so choose a meetup spot where everyone can gather after the ball drops.

Be a responsible host. When hosting a New Year’s Eve party, hosts must prioritize the safety of their guests. Make sure guests don’t drink too much, which can leave hosts open to criminal or civil action should guests leave their home and cause an Stay sober. accident. Serve plenty of food Many people feel and nonalcoholic beverages so pressured to guests who are drinking have overindulge with something in their systems other alcohol on New Year’s Eve, but men than alcohol.

While it’s acceptable for men and women of New Year’s Eve is a festive night, legal drinking age to raise a glass but one where safety needs to be as big a priority as having a good of champagne at midnight, it’s best to limit alcohol consumption time.

Exploring the Origins of New Year’s Resolutions

For millenia, people around the world have commemorated the arrival of a new calendar year by adhering to various traditions.

Once such tradition is making resolutions for the year ahead.

Resolutions are promises to oneself geared around personal fulfillment and betterment.

Resolutions are widely practiced, but some people may not understand the origins of New Year’s resolutions and why they have become the norm.

Some historians tie the practice

of making resolutions to the ancient Babylonians. More than 4,000 years ago, the Babylonians celebrated the New Year in March rather than January. The spring harvest was in March, and a festival called Akitu, which lasted 12 days, was celebrated.

An important part of the festival was the crowning of a new king.

Special rituals also affirmed a connection to the gods. The Babylonians made promises to the gods, which included vows to return borrowed objects and pay outstanding debts.

Resolutions can also be traced to ancient Rome. The Romans were instrumental in creating a more formal calendar, and the start of the new year was moved from March to January (January and February were added to the Roman calendar under the rule of Numa Pompilius).

Julius Caesar wanted to honor January’s namesake, Janus, the Roman god of beginnings.

Janus’ two faces enabled him to look back into the past and forward into the future.

Sacrifices to Janus were made, and worshipers exchanged gifts

with one another. A custom of setting resolutions began during this period as well, with Romans promising to be good to one another.

Eventually, these resolutions were funneled into prayers and fasting when Christianity was adopted by the Roman Empire.

Other religious parallels include the Jewish holiday of Yom Kippur, which is a day of atonement and reflection as celebrants examine their wrongdoings and seek forgiveness and to behave better moving forward. Yom

Kippur follows Rosh Hashanah, Judaism’s own new year.

Resolutions also may be loosely tied to Medieval times.

During this time, knights took a “peacock vow” at the end of the Christmas season. Each year, these knights would reaffirm their commitment to chivalry.

Today New Year’s resolutions are largely a secular tradition, but they’re still connected to a desire to be a good person and put one’s best self forward.

Arrange for transportation in advance. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, an average of 304 people die in drunk-driving crashes in the days surrounding Christmas and New Year’s Eve each year. Before heading out on New Year’s Eve, celebrants should ensure their safety by arranging for transportation to and from the festivities. Choose a designated driver to drive throughout the night, or agree to utilize a taxi or shuttle service if everyone plans to consume alcohol. Men and women who volunteer to be designated drivers should be especially alert on the roadways, preparing to drive in potentially inclement weather and

throughout the festivities so the party is memorable for all the right reasons.
