For more information, call 207.655.3800.

Participants can avoid long lines on New Year’s Day by registering online as soon as possible and making a minimum $20 donation to trigger express registration and entry into the earlier PLUNGE waves.

Organizers have set a goal to raise more than $50,000 – enough to send 25 New York families to Camp Sunshine (www. campsunshine.org).

Plungers who raise $100 or more will receive a highly coveted long sleeve Freezin’ for a Reason “I DID IT” event shirt. Participants over 21 years old also will receive a limited edition “The Plunge” pint glass, complements of Coney Island Brewing Company,

and an invitation to an exclusive after party with the Coney Island Polar Bear Club at Peggy O’Neill’s Bar and Restaurant.

“It’s that time of year again, time to dig out your swimsuit and take the plunge with family, friends and co-workers for an event that is as heartwarming as it is bone chilling,” said Michael Smith, Camp Sunshine’s Director of Special Events. “That’s why we call it Freezin’ for a Reason.”

Plungers are encouraged to bring warm clothes, surf boots or old sneakers, and towels. The NYC Parks Department is providing changing facilities.

Nestled alongside the shores of beautiful Sebago Lake in Casco, Maine, Camp Sunshine ( w w w. c a m p s u n s h i n e . org) offers children with

life-threatening illnesses and their families a place to relax together for a week and to take a break from the extraordinary demands placed on them on a daily basis.

The year-round program is free of charge and staffed almost entirely by volunteers. It is the only program in the nation whose mission is to address the impact of a life-threatening illness on every member of the immediate family.

Since the opening of the Camp’s year-round campus in 2001, more ill children and their families have come from New York than any other state in the nation. In 2013, 152 families from New York attended the Camp. Even with multiple sessions being added annually at Camp Sunshine, there are still many more children from New York being

newly diagnosed each year, Smith said.

Camp Sunshine’s program continues to be recommended by the following New York treatment centers: Mount Sinai Medical Center, Columbia Presbyterian Medical Center, Schneider’s Children’s Hospital, Children’s Hospital at Montefiore, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, New York University Medical Center, Brooklyn Hospital Center, Westchester Medical Center, Stony

Brook Medical Center, and numerous others.

Peridontal Health

Participants in the Coney Island Polar Bear Club’s ninth annual Coney Island Polar Dip will plunge into the frigid Atlantic Ocean on New Year’s Day to raise money to send more New York families to Camp Sunshine.

The January 1st fundraising event will test the mettle of participants who must dip into nearfreezing ocean waters at Riegelmann Boardwalk in historic Coney Island in Brooklyn. Registration begins at 10 a.m. with plunges beginning at 1 p.m.

Camp Sunshine is a one-of-a-kind national retreat in Maine for children with lifethreatening illnesses and their families. The Coney Island Polar Dip is partnering with TeamRaiser, a popular online fundraising platform, to make it easier

TOY DISTRIBUTION - NuHealth officials welcomed Legislator Dennis Dunne, along with Marine Major Chuck Kilbride and hospital supporter Bobby Kumar as they visit children in the pediatrics ward of NUMC to hand out hundreds of toys as part of the Toys For Tots program. The group gathered outside NUMC to unload the toys from the truck delivering the pallets filled with toys, bicycles and games for children of various ages.

Dance Students Perform This past weekend, Nassau BOCES Long Island High School for the Arts (LIHSA) students danced in the world premier production of the new ballet “Cracked.” The LIHSA dancers performed with dancers from the Nomad Contemporary Ballet Company and the American Theater Dance Workshop, as well as Broadway veteran performers Michelle and Jerome Vivona.

“Cracked” is a reimagining of Tchaikovsky’s timeless holiday classic, “The Nutcracker” and destined

to become a holiday hit.

The story follows Kara — the granddaughter of Clara from the original ballet — as she takes an epic Christmas Eve journey through New York City to the Land of Sweets.

Audiences meet exciting new characters and are reacquainted with old favorites.

“We are thrilled with this opportunity to pass on to the next generation of dancers, all we have gained from our experiences on the stage, as well as from the many amazing choreographers, directors, teachers and fellow

performers we have had the privilege of working with over the years,” Ms. Vivona said of the production.

“This has been a wonderful experience for our students,” said LIHSA Principal Dr. AJ Hepworth.

“They learned firsthand about the audition process and the rigors of working with a professional dance company. They were extremely excited about it and completely committed to the task,” he added. “They rehearsed tirelessly, devoting their time on weekends and after school.”

DANCE STUDENTS PERFORM - A select group of LIHSA dancers were chosen to perform in the world premier of the new ballet “Cracked.” Seen rehearsing are Tiye Bradley of the Uniondale UFSD, Tiffany Canner of the Long Beach CSD, Madeline Kuhlke of the Bethpage UFSD, April Lorenzi and Aleyna Spinelli of the Massapequa UFSD, and Danna Kimmelman of the Bellmore-Merrick CHSD.

“PTSD related suicide is an American tragedy and we need to do more to help our veterans work through the challenges they face.”

The Joseph P. Dwyer Peer to Peer program is overseen by the Suffolk County Veteran’s Service Agency and is designed to serve veterans, active duty, reserve and National Guard troops suffering from PTSD and allows veterans the opportunity to share and discuss their issues and problems with trained veteran personnel in a secure and anonymous setting.

The unique nature of the program is that veterans are serving as the facilitators of the groups which provides a comfort and familiarity level to those veterans seeking assistance.

Since its inception in 2012, over 2,000 veterans have participated in the Joseph P. Dwyer Project where they share their experiences with fellow veterans and allow the healing process to begin.

As part of the outreach effort, the Suffolk County Veterans Service Agency issued an informational pamphlet on the Joseph P. Dwyer Project to veteran households throughout the County.

“Suffolk is home to the largest veteran population in the State of New York, the second largest in the United States, and we need to ensure that they are taken care of each and everyday,” said Congressman-elect Lee Zeldin. “We know that holiday time is often the hardest time of the year for families who lost their sons or daughters.

We will never forget their sacrifice to protect our freedom and way of life.”

As State Senator, Zeldin increased funding in the 2014-2015 state budget to continue the expansion of the Joseph Dwyer Project.

The additional funding and success of the program in Suffolk County has

allowed the program to be instituted in 12 counties throughout the State.

Joseph P. Dwyer Project meets weekly in areas throughout the County including: St. Joseph’s College in Patchogue, Beacon House in Bay Shore, Sag Harbor, The Vets Place in Yaphank, Rose Caracappa senior center in Mt. Sinai, Liberty Village in N. Amityville, Huntington YMCA in Huntington and North Shore LIJ VA Clinic in Bay Shore. The project can be accessed by calling 631.853.8345 or by emailing vetspeertopeer@ suffolkcountyny.gov.

“Having had a close cousin that suffered from PTSD, this issue is near and dear to my heart and I want to thank the Suffolk County Veterans Service Agency, the Northport VA, our local VFW’s and all organizations who help to take care of veterans,” said County Legislator Bill Lindsay III. “We see

more cases during the holiday season and this outreach effort is going to come at the right time, especially considering the recent rise of PTSD related suicides.”

Nancy Olsen, who has worked for over 25 years as a suicide prevention

counselor at the Northport VA added, “the County and the VA share the same goal of offering help and support to any veteran who requires it.

We will work our hardest to get them the help they need and deserve.

Everything Old Is New Again By: Jamie Lynn Ryan So did everyone get what you wanted for Christmas this year?

Aside from the pleasure of each other’s company, of course…

I asked for a combination DVD/VCR player – one of those retro, bordering-onobsolete creations that I personally feel should be a staple of every household. How else can you view all those old home movies and classic Disney videos? And, in my case, about 20 years’

worth of dance recital recordings…

Add to that the fact that, given the option, I would much rather watch a DVD movie rental on a flat screen TV as opposed to my computer monitor. Sure, I realize most people stream media on their laptops nowadays; but I’m not most people, and I would like to have the option of viewing movies on something larger than a smartphone.

Hence, my request for this outdated piece of machinery, the gift

that keeps on giving, allowing us the pleasure of reliving those timeless memories on a larger scale. Priceless, if you ask me.

So once the winter weather settles in and hibernation starts looking awfully appealing, I plan to fire up the old (new) machine and have myself a minimarathon of movies, TV series I’ve been meaning to catch up on – and of course those classic dance routines.

Happy, Healthy New Year to all!

Neighbor Pet’s Place

New Year’s Eve festivities peak when the official countdown of the clock begins. After the ball drops and midnight has arrived, revelers cheer to the new year and exchange kisses and well wishes.

Once such wishes have been exchanged, many people begin to sing “Auld Lang Syne.” But few know what “Auld Lang Syne” means or why it is sung on New Year’s Eve. Confusion regarding this song is almost as notable as the tradition of singing it. Many people mumble through the lyrics because they never bothered to learn them.

“Auld Lang Syne” is a Scottish composition that is well over 200 years old.

Written by Robert Burns in the 1700s, the author never intended for the song to become a staple of the holiday season. It was

originally a poem that was later put to the tune of a traditional folk song. The title translates roughly in English as “old long since,” or “long, long ago.”

The song pays homage to times gone by and past experiences.

The song has been performed at group jamborees, funerals and other special occasions all over the world, but it is best known for its affiliation with New Year’s festivities. The man behind that affiliation may be Canadian musician Guy Lombardo, whose band used “Auld Lang Syne” as a bridge between two radio programs during a live New Year’s Eve performance in 1929.

Coincidentally, the song was played directly after the clock struck midnight, laying the groundwork for a New Year’s Eve tradition.

Now “Auld Lang Syne” has forever been tied to wellintentioned resolutions and sappy slaps on the back.

Despite selling millions of records, Lombardo became more famous for his New Year’s Eve song than anything else.

Confusion over “Auld Lang Syne” remains to this day. It has been the butt of jokes in popular culture, even earning a nod in the movie “When Harry Met Sally.” Harry laments to Sally that he never quite understood what the song meant and ponders whether it is about forgetting about friends or remembering them. Sally sums it up by saying the song is simply about old friends.

That is the interpretation many New Year’s Eve celebrants embrace as they toast to the new year and sing their hearts out.

New Year’s resolutions provide a perfect opportunity to set positive goals for the year to come.

Old habits can be hard to break, which can make it difficult for men and women to stay committed to their New Year’s resolutions. But a new year marks a new chapter, and the following are some IRIS & SAMMY CARRIE RYAN SAHARA female, 7 monthsfemale Tabby, adorable cream friendly and playful ways you can ensure this old & male 7 months-old male kitten; tabby female kitten; year’s resolutions don’t go unresolved.

5 months-old neutered spayed • Be specific.

A resolution that’s too LAST HOPE ANIMAL RESCUE general may ultimately 3300 Beltagh Avenue, Wantagh • 631.425.1884 prove ineffective. For example, if you resolve to lose weight this year, you probably hope to lose a substantial amount of weight over the next 12 months, as opposed to just one or two pounds.

If you set specific and DORIS KEIKO LADDIE NELLIE periodic goals, such as darling Treeing 2 year-old female 6 month-old bright 5 year-old lose one to two pounds by Walker Coonhound; chocolate Lab mix; orange kitten Bullmastiff mix, the end of January, as part loves everyone loves to play fetch needs one pet home of your resolution, then you are building in some measuring sticks along TO HAVE YOUR SHELTER INCLUDED IN NEIGHBOR PET’S PLACE, the way, and meeting CONTACT JAMIE LYNN RYAN AT 631.226.2636, EXTENSION 275, those measuring sticks OR VIA E-MAIL AT: JLYNN@THENEIGHBORNEWSPAPERS.COM can motivate you to stay

on course and realize your resolution by year’s end.

• Don’t go overboard.

If you traditionally find resolutions hard to live up to, then stick to a single resolution this year. This allows you to focus your efforts more effectively and ensures you won’t be overburdened, which could negatively impact your ability to realize your resolutions.

• Use technology. Saving more money is a popular New Year’s resolution, and now men and women looking to save more can employ technology to help them realize their financial goals. If your goal for the coming year is to save ‘X’ amount of dollars, sit down and calculate how much you need to save each pay period to realize that goal. You can then have that figure automatically deposited into an interestbearing savings account each time your paycheck is deposited into your account.

• Enlist a friend. If your New Year’s resolution is

one that others can apply to their own lives, then by all means enlist a friend.

For example, men and women who want to find more time to exercise in the coming year can enlist a friend or family member to exercise with them. The buddy system is a great motivating tool, and enlisting the help of a friend or family member provides the added benefit of seeing that loved one more often in the year ahead.

• Don’t let setbacks derail your resolution.

Resolutions too often fall by the wayside when men and women experience setbacks directly related to their resolutions. If you resolved to save more money but had a month when that simply was not possible, don’t allow that to derail your resolution for the rest of the year.

Setbacks are nearly inevitable, but they’re never an excuse to give up on a resolution.

New Year’s Eve festivities peak when the official countdown of the clock begins. After the ball drops and midnight has arrived, revelers cheer to the new year and exchange kisses and well wishes.

Once such wishes have been exchanged, many people begin to sing “Auld Lang Syne.” But few know what “Auld Lang Syne” means or why it is sung on New Year’s Eve. Confusion regarding this song is almost as notable as the tradition of singing it. Many people mumble through the lyrics because they never bothered to learn them.

“Auld Lang Syne” is a Scottish composition that is well over 200 years old.

Written by Robert Burns in the 1700s, the author never intended for the song to become a staple of the holiday season. It was originally a poem that was

later put to the tune of a traditional folk song. The title translates roughly in English as “old long since,” or “long, long ago.”

The song pays homage to times gone by and past experiences.

The song has been performed at group jamborees, funerals and other special occasions all over the world, but it is best known for its affiliation with New Year’s festivities. The man behind that affiliation may be Canadian musician Guy Lombardo, whose band used “Auld Lang Syne” as a bridge between two radio programs during a live New Year’s Eve performance in 1929.

Coincidentally, the song was played directly after the clock struck midnight, laying the groundwork for a New Year’s Eve tradition.

Now “Auld Lang Syne” has forever been tied to well-

intentioned resolutions and sappy slaps on the back.

Despite selling millions of records, Lombardo became more famous for his New Year’s Eve song than anything else.

Confusion over “Auld Lang Syne” remains to this day. It has been the butt of jokes in popular culture, even earning a nod in the movie “When Harry Met Sally.” Harry laments to Sally that he never quite understood what the song meant and ponders whether it is about forgetting about friends or remembering them. Sally sums it up by saying the song is simply about old friends.

That is the interpretation many New Year’s Eve celebrants embrace as they toast to the new year and sing their hearts out.

The stuffy nose, aches and pains that often accompany the common cold can leave sufferers feeling miserable for a week or more. Cold season seems to kick into high gear when the temperatures drop, but this can be the year you don’t come down with a case of the sniffles. The following cold prevention tips can increase your chances of making it to spring without losing any days or sleep to the common cold.

• Keep kids clean. Schoolaged kids tend to carry home

lots of germs, so when kids get home after a long day at school, make sure they wash their hands thoroughly and change into fresh outfits. Such precautionary measures can keep colds and other illnesses from running rampant through your house.

• Go outdoors and get some fresh air. It’s a myth that cold air will bring on a cold. In reality, being outside instead of congregating indoors with other sick people may decrease your risk of getting a cold. Don’t

be afraid to go outside when the temperatures drop for fear of getting sick. Fresh air and exercise can be good for you.

• Drink plenty of fluids.

Keeping your body hydrated will help flush toxins out of your body, strengthening your immune system and making it more capable of fending off colds.

• Keep your distance. Did you know the cold virus can be shot up to three feet away when someone sneezes?

The virus travels on the small droplets of saliva and

mucus membranes located in these areas of the body.

A combination of frequent handwashing and avoiding touching your face can keep colds at bay.

• Maintain your exercise routine. Regular exercise can boost the body’s immune system and help it to fend off foreign invaders, including the cold virus.

A recent study found that taking vitamin C in addition to daily exercise can reduce your risk of cold and cut the duration of the cold should you get one. Before taking any supplements, speak with your doctor to make sure they won’t interact negatively with other medications.

• Recognize that

antibiotics are not the answer. Antibiotics are only effective at treating bacterial infections, not viruses, which means they are ineffective at fighting the cold virus.

• If you do get sick, play it smart. Should you succumb to a cold in spite of your best efforts, steer clear of others so you are not spreading the virus. Rest and fuel your body with healthy foods and beverages. There’s no need to visit a doctor for a cold unless you have a fever after several days of being sick. Colds normally last between seven and 10 days. If your symptoms do not improve or if they seem to be worsening, visit your doctor.

HEARING HELP LINE

mucus that get propelled from the nose and mouth of a sick individual. If you know someone is sick, stay as far away as possible and wash your hands frequently, paying special attention to your fingertips.

• Wipe down surfaces.

The cold virus can live on surfaces for up to 24 hours.

That means a sick person can easily transfer a virus by touching a computer keyboard or remote control he or she shares with others.

Use disinfecting wipes or warm, soapy water to clean off doorknobs, telephones, light switches, cabinet handles, and anything that is frequently touched around a home or business.

• Let it out gently.

Blowing your nose forcefully or pinching your nose to hold back sneezes can irritate nasal passageways and make them more vulnerable to infection.

• Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth. If you are well, keep your hands away from your mouth, nose and eyes. Viruses are especially good at entering the body through the
