tudents at the Middle Country Central School District’s Bicycle Path Pre-K/Kindergarten Center discovered how music education can be fun when they played instruments and sang along to music that teaches a lesson. Former music educators visited the school and taught students what they can learn from music and how they can make music of their own. Pictured are several of the participants demonstrating their musical talents.

From February 9th through February 20th, two of New York City’s favorite casual restaurants, Café Metro and Fresh & Co., will donate a percentage of their sales to Friends of Karen, a tri-state organization that provides emotional, financial and advocacy support for children with life-threatening illnesses and their families living in the New York tri-state area. The organization has helped more than 13,500 children since its founding in 1978.

Café Metro (8 locations throughout New York City) and Fresh & Co. (11 locations) have been strong supporters of Friends of Karen for the past several years.

The promotion – which offers customers 10% off their next order when

Proudly Serving The Community Since 1953!

they donate $1.00 – ultimately aims to share the mission of Friends of Karen with the customers who frequent both restaurants. Ty Sullivan, Director of Marketing for Café Metro and Fresh & Co., wants to share the continuous partnership with the charity.

“Our efforts and ability to connect our patrons’ awareness with Friends of Karen goes hand in hand with our commitment to community.

We are pleased to be able to share the work of Friends of Karen with our customers so they can continue to benefit the many families who need the services of this important organization,” Sullivan said.

For more information about Friends of Karen, call 631.473.1768 or visit friendsofkaren.org.

Sun Upholstery

Sun Upholstery & Draperies, located at 30 Stewart Avenue in Huntington, is celebrating 90 years of serving the community.

Owner Paul Grimes has been in the field for as long as he can remember, working with his father for many years. He loves the craft and the opportunity to be creative, but mostly, he enjoys seeing the clients’ satisfaction with the finished projects.

Sun Upholstery provides all upholstery/ reupholstery and window treatments, including Hunter Douglas and Graber Window Fashions. “But the best part,” said Grimes, “of what we offer is personal, friendly experience.”

Est. 1925

They conduct all work on-premises, and the clients are able to benefit from this hands-on attention.

As a result of such a personalized approach, Sun Upholstery & Draperies has been honored with numerous awards, and has been recognized by the Huntington Historical Society as the Town’s oldest shop. They have won Best Upholstery & Window Treatments for three years in a row, and were recently inducted into the 2014 Business Hall of Fame.

As a means of giving back to the community, Sun Upholstery has donated its services to the Huntington Historical Society in helping with antique restorations. They have also donated floor cushions for the playroom at STEPS To End Family Violence, an agency in East Harlem that provides support for survivors of domestic violence.

Sun Upholstery regularly offers holiday specials at the end of each year and, in April, holds an anniversary sale on all outdoor cushions and window treatments for summer.

Stop down and see what they have to offer today!

Human Nature?

By: Jamie Lynn Ryan Let me start off by saying, accidents happen. We all have our moments of distraction on the road. Add to that, heightened tension due to weather conditions (even if said conditions don’t happen to be a factor at the time, but we’re giving the benefit of the doubt here), and the forces of human nature, mixed with Mother Nature, sometimes create catastrophic results.

Where am I going with this tangent, you ask? Just a preface to my recent run-in with a fellow motorist, is all. Well, his runin with me, to be exact. At a red light. Behind a line of about 12 other vehicles. Clearly stopped.

Not moving. No ice, no slush, no nothing on the road. Getting the picture?

So, obviously, you can imagine my astonishment upon glancing in my rearview mirror – as I habitually do when on the roads

– to see headlights approaching at what seemed too fast for an appropriate slowdown and stop maneuver. Sure enough, there it was, the impact, the sound of car metal crunching and cracking, along with the squeal of brakes.

Lovely. Just lovely.

Luckily, another one of my driving habits is to leave a bit of room between the front of my car and the one in front of mine, saving me the added inconvenience of continuing the potential chain reaction of collisions. One minor crisis averted.

All of this, mind you, and the light had yet to change to green.

No sooner did I get my bearings, than the driver – a young, college-aged male with a knit hat – appeared at my driver’s side window to apologize profusely and ask if I was alright. I rolled down my window, clearly angry, and said, “Yeah, I’m fine, but my car sure isn’t.” He continued to apologize and suggested we

pull out of the line of traffic and into the parking lot of an office building right alongside the road.

Great idea.

As I pulled off to the shoulder and continued into the agreedupon lot, the light changed.

Wanting to be sure I was out of the entryway (and further harm’s way), I found a spot off to the side and waited. And waited. I watched the continuous stream of traffic drive by, with no sign of the guilty party. Gone. Took off. You must be kidding.

Hence the tangent. And the anger. And the feeling that, in spite of the fact that “accidents happen” from time to time and none of us is perfect, there is no excuse for not owning up to your actions after the fact. That’s just bad karma. So, to the other driver, I hope you can live with your decision to run from your mistake. May you never have the misfortune for someone to do precisely the same thing to you.

Valentine’s Day

Send Us Your Best Pics To Be Featured!

By: Alexandra H. Rodrigues, Massapequa At our very first Love, To think about anything else is tough.

Chocolate hearts, roses and more than one kiss Ensures that Valentine’s Day is nothing but bliss.

The next time this Love day comes around, Promises to spend life together are given abound.

Everlasting love for each other, we swear To please each other, we take care.

Life goes on with its sorrow and joy; Valentine’s Day special love again we deploy.

There can be times when it is hard not to stray; To mend our commitment, we use this day.

Love is an emotion that cannot be forced; Kindness is needed to have it endorsed.

Valentine was the name for many a saint Who eagerly a picture of Love did paint.

Those who nourished their love till their golden time Have truly received a present divine.

No matter what stage you presently display, I wish you a Happy Valentine’s Day.

Winter Snows 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.

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.

The Art League of Long Island welcomes Nikki Girgenti to lead its newly re-vamped Teen Portfolio Prep Summer Program.

Now in its 20th year, the Art League’s highly regarded program will continue to deliver the excellent programming it is well-known for, while offering a new approach to help teens create the perfect art portfolio.

The Summer Portfolio Prep Program will help students understand the importance and the dynamics involved in creating an above average art portfolio, given the competitive nature of the college admissions process. The portfolio program is geared toward supporting students as they strive to set themselves apart as artists: whether they are applying to a Bachelor of Fine Arts program, intend to submit an art supplement, or simply want to expand their body of work as they prepare for Advanced Placement or International Baccalaureate art courses in high school.

In two three-week sessions students will be able to fully immerse themselves in the creative process.

Students may enroll in one or both sessions of the program. Two sessions are recommended to get the maximum benefit of the program. A breadth of subject matter and

techniques will be covered during each session.

Observational studies such as still life, figure drawing, portraiture; Mixed media, Watercolors, Acrylic, Printmaking, Digital Photography, Landscapes, Book Arts, Found Object Art, Sculpture, and alternative techniques are all possible subject matter. This program will also provide other unique experiences and instruction such as mock portfolio reviews, creating digital portfolios, guest speakers, and much more.

Teens will benefit from high level instruction in a professional studio setting while enabling them to develop a sense of camaraderie and community with their fellow artists. Program participants will enjoy an environment that fosters creative thinking and individuality while exploring traditional and more alternative methods of art making.

The program will provide group and individualized instruction and advisement, fostering the development of artworks that are unique and meaningful to the students, bringing out their own personal voice and style.

The Summer Portfolio Program at the Art League of Long Island promises to be a fun, exciting, and

memorable experience for any aspiring young artist!

Nikki Girgenti is an accomplished artist and educator who earned her MA at Stony Brook University and BA at Dowling College.

With nearly a decade of teaching at the Art League, including two years of administrative experience in the League’s Summer Art Adventure Program, and eight years of teaching high school art, Girgenti brings a fresh approach combined with a strong record of success to the Teen Portfolio Prep Program. She currently teaches 11th grade Portfolio and 12th grade Advanced Portfolio and has a reputation for guiding scores of students towards outstanding outcomes.

Through the years, Girgenti has been recognized for her artwork, the outcomes of her student’s portfolios and for her abilities as an art educator.

Girgenti lives in Deer Park with her husband Paul and their three rescue cats.

Space is limited, register early to ensure a spot. To learn more and to register call 631.462.5400, ext. 222 or visit www.artleagueli.org.

The Art League of Long Island is located at 107 East Deer Park Road in Dix Hills.

Blood Donations Needed The American Red Cross encourages eligible donors to help ensure a sufficient and diverse blood supply by giving blood this February.

Since the beginning of the year, widespread flu and inclement winter weather in some parts of the country have prevented many regular donors from making or keeping their blood donation appointments. Healthy and diverse blood donors are

needed to help maintain a sufficient blood supply.

Diversity among blood donors is important because red blood cells carry markers that determine one’s blood type, and certain blood types are unique to specific racial and ethnic groups. Blood must be matched very closely for those patients with rare blood types or for those who need repeated transfusions.

Patients

are less likely to have complications from blood donated by someone with a similar ethnicity.

All blood types are needed, especially types O negative, A negative and B negative. To learn more about donating blood and to schedule an appointment, download the Red Cross Blood Donor App, visit redcrossblood. org or call 1.800.RED CROSS (1.800.733.2767).

Make this Valentine’s Day extra special for your family and give them the gift of friendship with a Fresh Air child! Each summer, nearly 4,000 inner-city children visit suburban, rural and small town communities across 13 states from Virginia to Maine and Canada through The Fresh Air Fund’s Volunteer Host Family Program.

This summer, join volunteer host families in Western Suffolk who open their hearts and homes to New York City children.

“I have so many favorite memories that it’s hard to pick: helping our Fresh Air child catch a fish for the first time, or how excited

she was her first summer to see cows and horses, or finally being able to gaze up at the stars, because she said the glare of city lights doesn’t allow her to see them. It’s definitely the little things that mean the most,” says Meg, a Fresh Air host.

Fresh Air children are boys and girls, from six to 18 years old, who live in New York City. Children on first-time visits are six to 12 years old and stay for one or two weeks. Children who are reinvited by host families may continue with The Fresh Air Fund through age 18 and can enjoy extended trips.

Families find hosting so rewarding that more than

15

Neighbor Pet’s Place

Open Your Heart & Home 65 percent of all Fresh Air children are invited to visit the same host families year after year. Through the eyes of Fresh Air children, families often rediscover the beauty of their own communities.

The Fresh Air Fund, an independent, not-for-profit agency, has provided free summer experiences to more than 1.8 million New York City children from low-income communities since 1877. For more information on hosting a Fresh Air child this summer, please contact Pamela Desmond at 631.786.1915 or visit The Fresh Air Fund online at www.freshair.org.

Common Car Seat Mistakes Parents Should Avoid (NAPSI)—Parents of young children need to be better educated in order to avoid making potentially dangerous safety mistakes when they are on the go.

The Problem Automobile crashes remain a leading cause of death for children and it’s important that parents consistently and correctly use the appropriate car seat to keep their child passengers safe.

Many parents may be

unknowingly endangering their children as three out of four car seats are not used correctly, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

Some Answers Busy parents and caregivers may be tempted by safety shortcuts when transporting children. AAA offers simple reminders to protect parents’ most precious cargo.

Shortcut: “I’m only

driving a mile from home, so my son doesn’t need to be secured in his car seat since it’s a short trip.”

Reminder: You should buckle up properly on every trip—no matter the distance—especially since most crashes occur close to home.

Shortcut: “I’m picking up several kids after soccer practice and I’m going to put my 8-year-old daughter in the front seat so all the children can fit into the

car.”

Reminder: All children under age 13 are safest when riding in the backseat and properly restrained in a car seat, booster seat or seat belt.

Shortcut: “We will be driving more people in our car than we have seat belts.

Since it’s a short trip, it’s not a big deal for someone to ride on another person’s lap.”

Reminder: It’s never safe to ride on another person’s

lap. Each passenger should be properly restrained on every trip.

Shortcut: “My son is 10 years old and 4’6” tall. He’s big enough to use a seat belt now.”

Reminder: The American Academy of Pediatrics now recommends children continue to use beltpositioning booster seats until they are 4’9” and the seat belt fits properly.

Help For Parents Fortunately, AAA experts

are available to help parents with car seat installation.

Visit an AAA club, go to www.seatcheck.org or call (866) SEATCHECK [(866) 732-8243].

Top Three Auto Repair Red Flags (NAPSI)—Finding an auto repair shop you can trust can be a challenge.

Here are three warning signs to watch for on your next trip to the mechanic.

• While no one likes to be overcharged, beware of estimates that are well under market rate. This can be a sign the mechanic is using low-quality or even used parts. Some mechanics use lowball estimates to lure you in for additional repairs that they will tack on later.

• Automotive technology is rapidly evolving and some shops fail to keep up. Without up-to-date diagnostic tools, a mechanic could misdiagnose your problem,

which means you’ll pay for unnecessary repairs that don’t even fix your original problem.

• If a mechanic employs scare tactics or treats you in a condescending way, move on. A reputable mechanic will take the time to explain your options just as a doctor guides you to make the right decision for your health.

Fortunately, there’s a free service called RepairPal that can help consumers find a trustworthy local mechanic.

RepairPal independently certifies auto repair shops nationwide for superior training, quality tools, fair pricing standards and a minimum 12-month/12,000-mile

warranty.

RepairPal also provides car owners with a tool that brings transparency to repair costs—the RepairPrice Estimator.

Cited as a resource by Consumer Reports, AOL Autos and Cars.com, this patented calculator generates fair price quotes based on the user’s automobile, location, and the service requested. All mechanics in the RepairPal Certified shop network honor these estimates to give consumers peace of mind that they’ll never be overcharged.

RepairPal.com/estimator.

CREATING COLORFUL MURALS - Connetquot Central School District Ronkonkoma Middle School (RMS) 8th grade student Gianna Waldron recently volunteered her time to sketch and create colorful murals on the walls of the school’s band room. One of the murals depicts the history of RMS theatrical productions Guys and Dolls, Aladdin and Shrek the Musical. Gianna was given the creative freedom to honor her school and classmates with the unique murals. Connetquot School District is always proud to support and help students reach their full creative potentials. Photo by: Joseph Maniaci

Connetquot High School Girls’ Varsity Basketball Coach JoAnn Woodruff and a friendly home crowd looked forward to recognizing this year’s seniors on January 30th.

The brightly decorated home gym welcomed the excited crowd of family members, students, community fans, and the visitors from Central Islip HS. The celebration was further amplified by the team’s convincing 40-31

win over the visitors.

Seniors Emily Austin, Katie Foley, Sara Walsh and Anna Agnes were introduced before the game and presented with gifts by Coach Woodruff.

Proud family members joined them at mid-court for hugs and flowers as the girls would play their last home game as Connetquot Thunderbirds.

Junior, Alyssa Torres led the scorers from both teams with 24 points and 5

rebounds. Katie Foley and Brittany Curtin chipped in with 5 and 4 points respectively. Connetquot came back from a 2 point halftime deficit to outscore the visitors 31-18 in the second half.

Congratulations to the Connetquot Thunderbirds on their most recent win, and a sincere thank you to this year’s basketball seniors.

Strong Effort First year Connetquot H.S. boy’s basketball coach Kyle Black was looking forward to the rematch with league rival Walt Whitman H.S. on Tuesday, January 27th, but the Blizzard of 2015 forced the game to be rescheduled.

The game was played on Saturday, January 31st to a eager crowd, hoping for an excited performance by the Connetquot Thunderbirds!

While the players, coaches and fans did get to see an exciting game,

it was the Whitman ‘Wildcats’ that came away with a 50-47 victory. In a contest that saw a dozen lead changes throughout the game, the final score would be determined by two free throws with 3 seconds left by Whitman’s Jordan Aiken. Despite a last second three point attempt

by Connetquot, the final score was to Whitman’s advantage.

Both teams are still in the running for a playoff spot, but need to win the

Celebrating Senior Night

rest of the remaining league contests.

The T-birds played hard, rebounded strong and played aggressive defense, but Whitman made the free throws down the stretch.

Shane Wilson led the home team with 13 points, followed by John Hengge and Dan Lewis with 9.

Connetquot has two remaining home games, against Lindenhurst on February 4th and Half Hollow East on February 6th.

taught students what they can learn from music and how they can make music of their own. The trio, with musical accompaniment from the students, performed songs that were both entertaining and educational - some lyrics described life on Long Island, such as the

song, “The Long Island Railroad.”

Students were invited to play drums and other instruments during the performance in an effort to encourage music education and in hopes that students will pursue music in the future.

STRUMMIN’ & DRUMMIN’ - Students played drums while learning the importance of music during the Strummin’ and Drummin’ Show at Bicycle Path Pre-K/Kindergarten Center in Middle Country Central School District. The show aims to encourage music education at a young age and showcase the student’s early musical abilities.

Seven Mistakes Grocery Shoppers Make (NAPSI)—You may save yourself time, money and trouble at the grocery store if you avoid these seven common errors that shoppers make: 1. Consumers don’t make a list before they go.

It always helps to have a clear plan of what you’re going to buy before you hit the store. To help, there are a number of apps that can get you organized. One, ZipList, is an online recipe box and shopping list system that syncs across desktop, tablet and mobile devices, so you can stick to your list and not forget important ingredients.

2. Shoppers buy food when they’re hungry.

Shopping hungry often

leads to impulse buys and purchasing more than you need.

3. They don’t look down.

Brands pay a premium to be displayed at eye level, so looking down can be a way to find the same-quality items at lower prices.

4. People shy away from the generic brands. You’ve had your go-to cereal for years but your grocery store may be offering the same ingredients in a generic cereal for a fraction of the cost.

5. They go during peak hours. Shopping for the week on Sunday afternoon?

Looks like everyone had the same idea. Try to switch up your schedule and stock up during less popular times, such as late evening on a weeknight or

early Saturday morning.

6. Food purchasers ignore the center aisles.

Center aisles at grocery stores usually contain such packaged goods as canned food and beans. These can offer depth and heartiness to your meals without breaking the bank.

7. Consumers don’t check for deals. The online list system can help here, too. ZipList has a Grocery Deals feature that helps you find what’s on sale at stores near you. The feature pulls directly from grocery circulars and other sources, so even perishable goods can be found on the site on a week-to-week basis.

For further facts and tips, visit www.ziplist.com/ mistakes.

Online job seekers should never provide personal information such as a Social Security or driver’s license number unless they are confident that the other party is who it claims to be. For additional information

on how to spot, report and avoid online fraud, visit www.LooksTooGood ToBeTrue.com. Designed to increase awareness of Internet fraud and teach consumers how to best protect themselves, this site is maintained by a

task force of federal law enforcement and industry organizations and is funded by the United States Postal Inspection Service and the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

(NAPSI)—There’s good news for those who have embraced drinking fresh fruit and vegetable juices as a way to pursue a more healthful diet: Enjoying such juices just got easier.

That’s because a leading juice retailer that is also recognized as a healthy lifestyle brand has revealed that it’s expanding its squeezed-to-order, fresh juice offerings nationally.

The fresh, made-to-order

juices, available at Jamba Juice, incorporate highnutrient and on-trend whole foods including kale, beets, cucumbers, apples, oranges and chia seeds. They’re available in a variety of flavors, including: • Tropical Greens—a combination of super greens, apple, pineapple and chia • Veggie Harvest—a mixture of beet and carrot

juices with super greens, apple and ginger • Carrot Cayenne—a blend of carrot and apple juices with the added kick of ginger and cayenne.

To learn more, visit www.

JambaJuice.com.

Perserverance In the realm of ideas, everything depends on enthusiasm; in the real world, all rests on perseverance.

Tips On Avoiding Financial Exploitation (NAPSI)—There’s good news for older Americans.

While financial abuse and scams are believed to cost seniors an estimated $3 billion annually, you can help prevent them and protect yourself.

For example, here are some steps you can take: • Plan your financial future with trusted family members, friends and professionals. If managing your daily finances is difficult, consider engaging a money manager.

• Talk with a lawyer about creating a durable power of attorney for asset management, a revocable or living will, and trust and health care advance directives.

• Don’t be pressured or intimidated into quick financial decisions or sign any documents you do not completely understand.

• Never provide personal information (Social Security number, credit card) over the phone unless you placed the call and know with

whom you are speaking.

• Tear up or shred credit card receipts, bank statements, solicitations and financial records before disposing of them.

For more tips on avoiding exploitation, or if you suspect you or someone you know is being exploited, call the Eldercare Locator at (800) 677-1116 or visit www.eldercare.gov. The Eldercare Locator is a public service of the U.S. Administration on Aging.

Identity Theft Prevention Tips (NAPSI)-A recent online survey by Toluna/ Greenfield Online, Inc. found that while most consumers try to protect their identity, many admitted to risky behavior that could put them at risk for ID theft. To help educate and protect consumers, world-renowned fraud prevention expert Frank Abagnale offers these tips: • Shop smart: Limit the credit cards you carry.

•Keep receipts and check your statements: Examine every charge on your statement before

paying. Your receipts provide a great crossreference check and guard against suspicious activity. You have 30 days from the date of your statement to notify your financial institution of any discrepancies; otherwise, you can be liable for any purchases.

• Protect your computer when online shopping: Make sure your security patch and anti-virus software are updated regularly.

Consider technology to protect against potential viruses.

• Watch where you shop online: Look for the lock icon on the site’s browser status bar, a sign that that site is safe. If you have never heard of a website before, see if it has security precautions in place and isn’t a fake site set up by identity thieves.

•Don’t write checks: Give cash or gift cards.

The information on a check—name, signature, address—can be used to steal identity.

•Strengthen passwords: Use passwords with at least eight characters,

including a combination of letters, numbers and symbols that are easy for you to remember but difficult for predators to guess.

• Watch your wallet: Be careful at parties, restaurants, fitness clubs, shopping carts and your car.

• Don’t take the bait on phishing scams: Also, beware of shoulder surfing (when a thief looks over your shoulder while you’re at an ATM, either directly or via a camera).

• Stop mail and

newspaper delivery when you’ll be away from home.

• Consider an identity theft protection service: One low-cost solution monitors the online criminal underground where identities are bought and sold and instantly alerts you if your Social Security number or up to 10 credit card or debit card numbers are posted by thieves. The service also scans online directories and search engines, prime sources for spammers and thieves, letting you know where your information

is available, and provides advice on how to remove it. More information can be found at www. tracemyID.com.
