This initiative will allow the public to directly purchase Bed Bath & Beyond® gift cards for homeless families in five

counties outside of New York City.

As part of the kick-off for this program, Mr. Bellone presented the Harris family with the first-ever CHI Fresh Start-funded $100 Bed Bath & Beyond gift card, which he has purchased as a gift. CHI has also secured housing for this family of five all Long Island natives - which includes three

school-age children, age five, 17 and 19, who have all been without a home for 14 months due to job loss and rent increases.

“As we are all thinking about and preparing for the holidays, there are many families who are in search of a permanent home,” said Mr. Bellone. “Today, we had the opportunity to introduce a family to their new home and provide them with much-needed assistance in purchasing the items necessary to make this house a home.

I applaud Community Housing Innovations and Bed Bath and Beyond for collaborating on the launch of the Fresh Start Program.”

Community Housing Innovations, the largest provider of housing for the homeless in suburban New York, has connected with Bed Bath & Beyond to encourage individuals, families and businesses alike to purchase gift cards through the Bed Bath & Beyond special toll-free number; 844-52-I-CARE. One hundred percent of this anonymous, taxdeductible donation will be given to a family or individual currently living in a local shelter in Nassau, Suffolk, Westchester, Dutchess and Orange Counties to purchase household items from the retailer.

Donors will receive an acknowledgment of their contribution for tax purposes.

“No family should have to spend the holidays in a homeless shelter, yet thousands of low-income New York individuals and families find themselves in that situation,” says Alexander Roberts, Executive Director of CHI. “Our goal is to provide a $100 gift card to each family when they find permanent housing, but the public may donate whatever amount they like, starting at as little as $5.”

BE MORE POSITIVE, HAPPY, HEALTHY & SMART That is what you will learn by reading, Positivity!

Unlike other books regarding happiness, this book builds a foundation on being smarter, obtaining the skills necessary toward gainful employment and managing money successfully. How can a person be happy if they do not have a good job, cannot give a good speech and cannot invest wisely? In the highly competitive world in which we live, a foundation must be built that makes people happy and healthy. The foundation starts with positive thinking and a healthy lifestyle but it should be coupled with continuing education and prowess in accumulating and managing money. This answers the question, how can a person be happy in today’s world.

“Reading Positivity is a game changer for every reader. The unique wisdom and philosophy of life that Harry Edelson shares proves that life can be easy and joyful for everyone. Imagine a world if seven billion people lived by Positivity!

Thank you for sharing this masterpiece. Harry Edelson has figured out true keys to a good life – which is the one common denominator everyone wants. And I know, because I’ve interviewed over 400 of the top CEOs, and I see a lot of wisdom and very successful people…and Harry has truly figured it out. What a gift you offer in this book.”

ROBERT REISS, HOST & CEO, THE CEO SHOW “As Benjamin Franklin said: ‘An investment in knowledge pays the best interest.’ The wisdom in Harry Edelson’s book is like finding a great investment. It continues to grow in value and will pay dividends throughout your life. This is the same philosophy that the brilliant investor, George Soros, has advocated through his Open Society Foundations where I served as a Trustee for many years” JOHN W. ALLEN, INT’L INVESTMENT BANKER AND CHAIRMAN OF GREATER CHINA CORP “The interesting thing about Harry Edelson is that he is usually the smartest guy in the room and what is amazing, the happiest guy in the room. His book tells it all and can be easily absorbed by adults and students alike.”

When it comes to natural gas pipelines, there’s no such thing as too safe.

MEETING THE MASCOT - Connetquot Central School District’s John Pearl Elementary School students were recently visited by New York Islanders mascot Sparky the Dragon. Representatives from the New York Islanders spoke to students about the importance of teamwork in sports, school and their community. Students were able to meet and take pictures with Sparky the Dragon. Photo by: Joe Maniaci

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 or 1-800-272-4480 before you dig.

Smell gas. Act fast. If you smell, see or hear any of those indications, leave the area immediately, then call National Grid at 1-800-490-0045. Be smart and be safe.

Know what’s below — call before you dig and know the signs of a gas leak.

Visit www.nationalgrid.com for additional safety information.

HOLIDAY CELEBRATION - Connetquot Central School District’s Alternative High School Principal Louise Burger recently brought together students, staff, friends and family for a very special Thanksgiving celebration. Students enrolled at the Eastern BOCES Regional Alternative High School program at Connetquot prepared a delicious, traditional Thanksgiving feast. Many of the proud students invited family and friends to join them for dessert, while others were pleased to bring the leftovers home. The students were practicing cooking as part of a home economics program to help students develop valuable life skills.

The Christmas Column By: Jamie Lynn Ryan

Christmas time is here.

The days and weeks and months of planning and preparation, of shopping and wrapping and decorating and baking, have all led to this brief window of time, from Christmas Eve through Christmas Day, which lends itself to all sorts of magical moments and memories.

These are the days we remember for years to come, the snapshots we savor, the recipes we pass down from generation to generation.

Say what you will about the commercialism and chaos that has engulfed our society – this the time we

can recapture the true spirit of the season.

Speaking of commercialism, anyone who attempted to purchase Adele tickets in the last week or so was faced with the reality that, unless you have thousands of dollars at your disposal to splurge on a pair of seats at MSG, you had best sit back and enjoy that $15 CD and accept the fact that live performances are becoming increasingly out of reach for the average consumer.

For me, two straight days of manically refreshing my browser during both the advance sale and general sale led to nothing but wasted time and ample frustration.

‘Tis the season, indeed.

The upside?

In

the grand scheme of things, being deprived of live entertainment (temporarily, as I haven’t given up quite yet) isn’t the end of the world. As we prepare to turn the page on yet another year, we should give thanks for the important things – our health, our loved ones, the ability to celebrate with family and friends… perspective.

And with that, I wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Next Week: Buddy the Betta weighs in on his first holiday season, his Christmas wish list and that glittering ball getting ready to drop in Times Square.

Know the signs of a gas leak. 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.

Connetquot Central School District’s Cherokee Street Elementary School Student Council Advisors Mrs. Kenna and Mr. Cavanagh recently helped more than 15 students, 7-8 years-old, write letters to Santa for Macy’s National Believe Day. Students wrote their letters in class and parents were asked to donate one envelope and stamp to be used for the project.

Members of the student council then stuffed the envelopes.

Macy’s will donate $1 to the Make-A-Wish Foundation for each letter submitted by December 11th, 2015. Make-A-Wish grants the wishes of children diagnosed with life-threatening medical conditions.

Cherokee Street Elementary School students have already submitted over 150 letters.

Students wrote letters to Santa Claus to practice writing and raise money for charity.

Overcoming Adversity More than 300 Connetquot Central School District Ronkonkoma Middle School students recently learned how to overcome adversity by listening to Dr. Frank Saladino, a veteran music instructor in the District, talk about how he overcame the challenges of his early life.

Dr. Saladino discussed how he was raised by his young mother, left a widow

with two children and no formal education after a fateful car accident. He spoke passionately about his family’s daily struggle to survive, his mother’s addiction to drugs and his stepfather’s abuse.

Despite these obstacles, Dr. Saladino told the students he knew he had a choice; instead of choosing to use drugs or alcohol to ‘escape’ from his difficult life he chose to improve

his education in writing, music and poetry. When he eventually attended college he realized he was the master of his own destiny, which has helped him be a better son, brother, father and husband.

The students were deeply moved and inspired

by Dr. Saladino’s story to recognize the choices in their own lives to overcome adversity.

Pisces

Feb. 19 - March 20 Pisces, stick up for yourself when you need to.You are your biggest advocate, and you will present a strong front when feeling secure.
