Winter’s Wrath By: Jamie Lynn Ryan So, one epic snowstorm/ blizzard/”Juno” (who names these things, by the way?) into the Winter of 2015, and I’ve just about had my fill. How about you?

As lovely and peaceful as a blanket of freshly fallen snow looks on the landscape, unfortunately, “snow days” only last for about one day, if that. Once the plows emerge, and the salt and sand turns the pristine landscape into a mountain range of dirty, frozen boulders, the novelty wears off pretty quickly – even faster if you are the one responsible for shoveling it.

This past week, after hibernating for as long as possible and savoring the

“day off,” I ventured into the great void of white, shovel and scraper in hand, and attempted to determine which mound might be my car. After wading through the untouched walkways and parking lot of my complex, it was time to begin the dreaded clearing-off-the-car process.

Easier said than done.

After standing on my tiptoes, vainly trying to reach the summit, I was able to push off most of the twofoot accumulation – only to have a mini-avalanche fall to either side of my car. What had been knee-deep snow was now waist-deep. Spectacular.

And so it went, for hours, as I slowly made headway.

Two things occurred to me during this time. #1 – I

desperately need a larger shovel, and #2 – I need to move to a warmer climate.

Immediately.

I realize that one major snowstorm through the first six weeks of winter qualifies as fairly fortunate. But seriously, did we need to make up for a season’s worth of snow totals in just one day?

Mother Nature sure doesn’t play around. Add to that the fact that February – statistically speaking, according to the too-gleefulfor-my-taste newscasters – is the snowiest month of all and, well, refer back to point #2 above.

In lieu of that, I suppose I could at least go shovel shopping before the next big one hits.

team captain in 1968-1969 and averaged more than 14 points per game.

Foley was inducted into the Suffolk County Sports Hall of Fame in 1994 in honor of his outstanding basketball career.

Foley, in addition to coaching, is a full professor of Health and Human Services at Suffolk County Community College and is currently the Director of Athletics for the second time in his career.

Other academic awards Foley has received: • New York State Chancellor’s Award for Excellence in Teaching, 2004 • Distinguished Faculty Award, 2003 • Outstanding Community College Teacher, University of Texas, 1983 • Teacher Who Made a Difference, Suffolk County Community College, 1981

athletic careers at four-year Division II and Division III schools.

“Athletic Director Foley is wholeheartedly a Shark.

He is an excellent teacher, first and then an awesome coach, second,” said Suffolk County Community College President Dr. Shaun L. McKay, adding, “he is not only a great, winning coach, but just as importantly Coach Foley leads by example with his upbeat attitude, the first ingredient of success in basketball and in life.”

Foley graduated from Seton Hall High School in 1965, where he averaged 30 points per game as a senior and was coached by the legendary Frank Layden (president/head coach of the Utah Jazz) and held the Suffolk County and Long Island high school basketball career-scoring records for many years. Foley went on to Seton Hall University on a scholarship and was the university’s basketball

soon became a successful lawyer in Buffalo.

Fillmore soon ventured into politics as well, using his Whig connections to run for the House of Representatives, where he served for eight years.

By 1848, Fillmore was realizing even more ambitious pursuits, as he was elected to serve as Taylor’s Vice President.

He would not serve long in that role, as an illness that befell President Taylor on July 4, 1850, would claim his life just five days later. That thrust Fillmore into the presidency and right into the heart of heated debate surrounding the Compromise of 1850, a package of bills that aimed to defuse tensions and confrontations between the slave states of the south and the free states of the north.

Fillmore would ultimately sign all five bills in the Compromise of 1850 into law, but it was his support for the Fugitive Slave Act, a controversial element

of the compromise that required all escaped slaves, upon capture, be returned to their masters and that officials and citizens in free states had to cooperate with the law.

Signing and enforcing the act would come back to haunt Fillmore in 1852, when he decided to run for a full term as President.

The Whig Party, still upset that Fillmore supported the act, chose not to nominate Fillmore. That decision effectively ended Fillmore’s political career, though he did make a memorable run as a third party candidate in the election of 1856. In that election, Fillmore was the presidential nominee of the American Party, winning 21 percent of the vote, which was one of the best showings a third-party presidential candidate ever produced.

Millard Fillmore passed away on March 8th, 1874, from complications of a stroke.

Millard Filmore was the 13th President of the United States, assuming the nation’s highest office when President Zachary Taylor died in office after serving a little more than a year as president.

Fillmore, a Whig lawyer from western New York who served as Taylor’s Vice President, was the last American president who was not affiliated with the Democratic or Republican parties. An early member of the Whig party, in 1851, Fillmore became the only president in American history to appoint a Whig Supreme Court Justice after his recess appointment of Benjamin Robbins Curtis was confirmed by the United States Senate in December of that year.

Fillmore rose to occupy the White House after a humble upbringing in the Finger Lakes region of New York. At 15, the future president was apprenticed to a cloth dresser but was admitted to the bar in 1823 and

Data Collection

Students in the Eastern Suffolk BOCES Retail Store Services, a special career education program, learned about the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS), a standard used by agencies in classifying business establishments for the purpose of collecting, analyzing, and

publishing statistical data related to the United States business economy.

On their recent trip to the South Shore Mall in Bay Shore, they used the mall directory to properly categorize stores using NAICS. Business Education Teacher Virginia Rios said, “Students apply what they learn in the classroom

during field trips. Here at the mall, they learn how to navigate by using the mall directory. They observe window displays and take note of how stores advertise. These are all things they learn in the classroom and a follow-up lesson will take place about what they learned at the mall.”

Longwood High School students attended this year’s kickoff event for the 2015 FIRST® (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) Robotics Competition, sponsored by School-Business Partnerships of Long Island, Inc. (SBPLI) and hosted by Stony Brook University.

They gathered with more than 40 participating high schools on Saturday, January 3rd at Stony Brook University’s Jacob Javits Lecture Center for a presentation and simulcast broadcast from New Hampshire. After the presentation, each team received a kit of parts, which they will use along with other materials to

G.R.E.A.T. Students Participate

build a 120-pound robot.

The teams will have six weeks to construct the robot and prepare for the upcoming competition to be held on March 26th28th at Hofstra University.

Members of the Longwood High School robotics team are pictured displaying the contents of the kit of parts.

Helping students make positive life choices and creating safer communities is the goal of the Gang Resistance Education and Training (G.R.E.A.T.) program.

Now in its seventh year at Longwood Middle School, the thirteen-week program is taught by trained law enforcement officers to prevent bullying, youth crime, violence, drug use and gang involvement.

The G.R.E.A.T. middle school curriculum is a life-skills competency program designed to provide students with the tools they need to avoid gang pressure and youth

violence.

“Both Deputy Bing and Deputy Bozzo have both been such a valuable asset to the students at the middle school,” said Assistant Principal Raegan Hololob.

“The G.R.E.A.T. Program addresses important issues that our children are facing on a daily basis. Students receiving training in decision making, goal setting and conflict resolution are better prepared to navigate difficult issues they may face in the future.”

As a culminating activity to the program, the students participated in the first Annual G.R.E.A.T.

Longwood Kickoff

Olympics.

To reinforce aspects of the program, the deputies incorporated academic questions into a challenging competition where students competed in relay races, bean bag toss and tug of war.

“G.R.E.A.T. teaches us so many valuable lessons about gang prevention and how to solve conflicts,” said student Kaela Marie Dimanlig.

“Even when G.R.E.A.T. is over, it doesn’t mean that we forget the bundles of fun we had or lessons we learned.

You know why? Because the good memories and important lessons continue to live inside of us.”

Science explorations, field trips, Bible stories, Chapel, music, a Christmas pageant and graduation program, guest performers, gym and playground time round out the offerings for the children.

The class is a half-day

session, meeting Monday through Friday, from 9:0011:45 a.m.

If you would like additional information about the 5 year old class, or would like to tour the classroom, contact St. John’s Lutheran Preschool at 631.563.1443, or the church office at 631.589.3202.

Winter Snows

Send Us Your Best Pics To Be Featured!

By: Milicent G. Tycko

The flakes of snow Stream down, woefully obliging Gravity, and fall over lost Reservoirs of love, forming shadowy Oases of snow-dunes.

When the waters of my sorrow meet This cold indifferent wall, There is no other way.

My arctic tears are whipped to whitest snow That drifts and blows about the countryside.

“Massapequa Nature Preserve” Photo by: Cynthia J. Lazarte, Massapequa Park

Ambition By: Lisa Osma

I spy the glow beyond the edge; Light has yet to be revealed.

The gentle warmth teases and calls As I scratch the door ahead.

Eyes straining, looking for the path, It’s not inscribed in the map.

A mere whisper in a soft dream Lives in me like a current.

I trust in the burning desire; Inside me, it lives and flows.

Write the words, expose the feelings.

There is more than life expected.

How will this journey unfold?

I will write it true and hold faith.

Yes. The words will see me through.

The winter snows remind me now Of poetry, of poems transformed From feelings, sorrows, losses.

They sweep across and mass as one.

The snowflakes and the sorrow.

The shadows and the cold.

The fresh and gleaming dune of white.

As wondrous as a poem.

Officer McCray is also a leader in her community of Central Islip where she is a board member of the Youth Empowerment Project and a founding member of Building Bridges Uniting Communities.

In addition to The Howard C. Stock Memorial Award, Officer McCray was presented with the Correction Officer of the Year Award along with Deputy Sheriff Michael Kern, who was named Deputy Sheriff of the Year during the ceremony.

Officer Kern is a Drug Recognition Expert with the Sheriff’s Office and an instructor for the New York State Drug Recognition Training Program. He has taught hundreds of

officers throughout New York State in advanced policing techniques and his enforcement efforts have resulted in countless DWI and DUI arrests in Suffolk County.

Deputy Sheriff Kern is a ten-year veteran of the Suffolk County Sheriff’s Office, and also served as a New York City Police Officer for seven years.

Sheriff Vincent F. DeMarco could not be more proud of the work of Officers McCray and Kern, and stated, “Suffolk County residents are fortunate to have two of the finest public servants working on their behalf as members of the Suffolk County Sheriff’s Office. I am grateful to the members of the Kiwanis Club for paying tribute to our staff, but also for recognizing the fine work performed by highly dedicated law enforcement officers in all the East End towns.”

Come mid-February, florist delivery trucks can be seen making the rounds through neighborhoods all across the country. Such trucks are transporting thousands of bouquets, plants and other floral arrangements that serve as gifts on Valentine’s Day. According to the Retail Advertising and Marketing Association, florists take in around $400 million in revenue on Valentine’s Day. Roses may be the most popular flower come Valentine’s Day, but many other blooms find their way into the hearts of excited celebrants as well.

Flowers can be used to convey love, friendship, compassion and desire. In Victorian times, flowers were given specific meanings because only a few exotic flowers were readily available, and many of these meanings have withstood the test of time.

Giving a type of flower that signifies you just want to be friends may not bode well for a relationship when the recipient was hoping for

Billions of greeting cards are sold and exchanged each year, and Valentine’s Day is one of the most popular days of the year to give a loved one a greeting card.

The Greeting Card Association says 145 million Valentine’s Day units are sold in the United States each year. The association says seven out of 10 surveyed card buyers consider greeting cards to be essential to them, and are passing on the greeting card tradition to younger generations.

Though the tradition of exchanging greeting cards is still going strong, few may know the history and etiquette behind this timetested tradition.

Greeting Card History The tradition of exchanging greeting cards can be traced back to ancient China, where people exchanged messages of good will to celebrate the New Year. Over time, greeting cards were exchanged for various reasons, and by the 1850s greeting cards were transformed from handmade, expensive purchases to relatively affordable means of personal communication and well-wishing.

Valentine’s Day greetings

have been popular since the Middle Ages, when they were sung or spoken aloud to special people.

Cards were popularized in the 1400s, and the oldest known Valentine created during this era is on display in the British Museum in London. Valentines were initially made by hand, but by the end of the 1800s, the process of making cards was handled by machinery. Esther Howland, an American printer and artist, was one of the first to publish and sell valentines in the United States. Yet it took a few more years for a card company to manufacture and distribute valentines.

Keeping Cards Although there are no rules governing just how long to keep and display a card, most people keep them for five to seven days.

Some special occasion cards, such as milestone birthdays or religious rites of passage, may warrant holding on to the card for posterity. However, the length of time cards are kept is entirely at the discretion of the recipient.

Etiquette Sending cards requires a little know-how. Start out with a high-quality card to show that you value the recipient. If you’re taking

the time to send a greeting card, make sure it looks like you put some effort into its selection.

Be sure your card list is continually updated with new addresses and contact information. If you do so regularly, it’s easier to send cards when the time comes.

Ensure greeting cards will arrive on time by mailing them out a week or two before the special day. Few things are worse than a card arriving late and seeming like an afterthought.

Address cards by hand and sign them personally.

Although desktop printers can make fast work of card mailings, writing things out by hand is a special touch that indicates you care. Personal greeting cards for close friends and family members may also deserve an extra special touch, like including a custom message or a photograph.

Greeting cards are about expressing sentiments to special people in your life. They’re popular on Valentine’s Day and all year long to commemorate holidays and special occasions.

Turn Valentine’s Day Green Continued From 15 blight. Aim to purchase from retailers that limit mining waste and environmental damage.

Another idea is to recycle old gold jewelry into new items. Jewelry stores

can melt down precious metals and turn them into entirely new and beautiful pieces.

Give thoughtful gifts. If a loved one is involved with or supports a particular charity or environmental action group, consider
