Let’s Unite! Men and women from across Long Island will be getting all of their red outfits and accessories ready for the American Heart Association’s 17th annual Long Island Go Red For Women Luncheon. Heart disease and stroke are the No. 1 and No. 5 killers of Long Island women.

For more than a decade, women have been fighting heart disease individually and together as part of the Go Red For Women movement. Cardiovascular diseases cause one in three women’s deaths each year, killing approximately one woman every minute.

Since 1984, more women than men have died each year from heart disease & stroke.

An estimated 43 million women in the U.S. are affected by cardiovascular diseases. When you get involved in supporting

achieve a balance-wine should not overpower the food, nor should the food overpower the wine.

a separate regional, with different teams competing in separate alliances and tournament rounds.

Some of the teams set to participate in the local regionals will move on to compete at the 2018 FIRST Championship in Detroit.

Leading up to the regionals, SBPLI students will work with engineering mentors to apply concepts of math and science learned in the classroom to build their robots.

Students will also learn important concepts such as teamwork, problem solving and healthy competition. Many SBPLI students use these skills while pursuing science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) studies and careers.

Over the years, FIRST students from Long Island received millions of dollars in scholarships for higher education.

This year, students participating in FIRST will have access to

more than $50 million worth of scholarships.

“We are very excited to get our 2018 season underway and are looking forward to another great kick-off event,” says Larry Toonkel, newly appointed Co-Director, FIRST Robotics Competition, FIRST Long Island. “With two Regionals in the works, we know that this year will be an especially pivotal one for SBPLI and STEM education on Long Island.

In addition to making it now possible for all Long Island districts to join our family, our hope for the future of the SBPLI Long Island Regionals is that more teams from across the state, nation and world will be able to compete at one or both of our events each year.”

A Summer Poem for a Cold Winter Day By: Joan Wormell

Early morning at the beach As the mist begins to rise The water calmly laps the shore This is where the beauty lies The beauty that is found in nature Breathe it in It calms your soul Enjoy it all You’ve reached your goal The goal of peace That lies inside Let Mother Nature Be your guide

Burning embers ripe with color Shimmer like beacons on a dark sea Sparks smolder, flicker, lick the wind Thrash at the atmosphere Only to succumb to dull dry residue No longer vibrant or full of warmth Now a paltry mix of nothingness Dying they turn to ash Whiten in grey remnants from a great flame That scatters among the wind Coveting bits of fire within to Alight on other landscapes Clings to spaces that Dwindles down to fodder for land, Dust over sea . . .

Little things great and small I don’t see ashes after all Like those rendered Long gone after a roaring fire I see you like God’s raiment Speckled within the woods Riding the crest of the ocean Alive within the core of my being Coveted by my love and sadness; You no longer remain on this earth but are Scattered like the residues of wind and time Which glows in nature like my memories of all of you.

electric guitars and video games to toy trucks and art books.

In the meantime, Santa (who spends the rest of the year as a Cohen Children’s employee) spoke lovingly to the children who were accompanied in the playroom by Child Life staff members dressed as elves and other holiday characters.

And, for those who didn’t feel well enough to leave their rooms, a mobile cart or iPad enabled with Cisco Jabber software helped Santa travel room-to-room for a personalized bedside visit – all of this without once leaving his workshop in the North Pole, according to the children.

“We’re so happy that Cisco was able to bring their expertise once again to Cohen during

this holiday season,” said Patricia Ottavanio, special events coordinator at Cohen Children’s.

“Thanks to them, we are able to bring Santa to the children. During this time of year, it’s very difficult for children and their loved ones to be away from home. Events such as these help make Chanukah and Christmas a happier time for these families.”

Brian and Keri Adams, of Central Islip, joined their infant son, Derek, in the playroom. Watching with happiness as he banged on a little drum, Derek’s parents said: “This event makes children feel like they’re not in the hospital.

We appreciate the effort being made by everyone here today to being Santa to our children.”

Memories

Christmas came a little early this year to the young patients at Cohen Children’s Medical Center, thanks to the kindness of technical wizards at Presidio and Cisco Systems.

Through the Cisco Santa Connection, patients who are unable to celebrate in the comfort of their own homes due to illness can still experience the magic of the holiday.

Using a video monitor and web-enabled camera today, Santa “virtually” visited with children in the third floor playroom who were eager to discuss their holiday wish lists.

The children, who were led to believe that Santa was communicating live from his home in the North Pole, deliveredw a list that ran the gamut from

Tapping into Coding During the month of December, students across the Sachem Central School District participated in a collection of computer science activities in honor of the worldwide Hour of Code initiative.

For younger students, the Hour of Code initiative acts as an introductory experience to the world of computer science, covering programming as well as an exploration of how coding technologies are present in everyday life. For older students, the district’s continued participation in Hour of Code provides them with an opportunity to expand their prior coding knowledge as they explore more challenging areas of the discipline.

Elementary students throughout the district

learned about algorithms and how they act as a list of steps to complete a task. Utilizing Code. org, students engaged in interactive games that included creating their own lists of instructions to move a character through a computer-generated maze.

At Wenonah Elementary School, fourth- and fifthgrade students chose to forgo recess and help kindergarten students as they embarked on their first coding experiences.

Around other schools within the district, students participated in multiple “unplugged” coding activities, taking coding away from computers and integrating hands-on activities challenging students in other areas of coding.

Ozobots were incorporated into code lessons as students controlled the tiny robots through colorcoded commands written on paper. As student grade level increased, so did the level of difficulty in the coding challenges they faced using the Ozobots.

Middle and high school students took on more advanced coding activities as they navigated through drag-and-drop coding tasks before breaking up into teams to compete in robot races using mBots. Students also programmed the robots to move throughout different mazes. mBots are an all-in-one educational robot that allows students to experiment in programming, electronics and robotics.

Knitting for Those in Need Tamarac Elementary School students in Deborah Allocca’s fifth-grade class in the Sachem Central School District acquired a creative new skill as part of a community service project to help a family in need during the holiday season.

Each year, students in

Mrs. Allocca’s class give up their recess period to learn the art of knitting. Students work independently as they knit one square each that is then combined to form a large, multicolored blanket to be donated to a family in need. Students excelled as they surpassed their original one-square goal,

knitting multiple squares each. Eventually they incorporated multicolored designs into their squares.

The blanket will be donated to a family adopted

by Mrs. Allocca’s class, along with various other clothing items and toys for the holiday season.

Letters of Intent On Friday, December 15th, five Longwood High School student-athletes, along with their coaches and family, gathered to participate in a signing ceremony. The students recently signed their National Letters of Intent to play sports at the college level.

Jake Murphy will be attending Long Island University/LIU Post to play lacrosse, while teammate

Robert Lopez will play lacrosse at Molloy College.

Emily Koerick will attend New York Institute of Technology to play softball, and teammate Gabriella Vicidomini will play softball at Queens College.

Jarred Vanderhoof will attend St. Thomas Aquinas College to play baseball.

Director of Health, Physical Education, and Athletics Gina Curiale wished the students luck

in their transition into college athletics.

“On behalf of the entire Athletic Department, we wish you all continued success as you participate in athletics on the next level,” said Mrs. Curiale.

“We are all truly proud of you, and we look forward to tracking your achievements next year on the lacrosse, softball and baseball fields.”

Interface Toy Drive

In December of 2016 Connetquot Teachers Association (CTA) President Antony Felicio, Jr., made a donation on behalf of the CTA to the BideAwee Pet Adoption Center after arranging to visit teachers at Connetquot High School.

There was so much support for BideAwee and the little friends they brought along, that this year three adorable black lab puppies visited Oakdale-Bohemia and Ronkonkoma Middle Schools on December 15th.

CTA President Anthony Felicio, Jr., presented a check in the amount of $200 to “…this wonderful rescue group located

in Westhampton, Long Island.”

Felicio continued “… our teachers had a chance to visit with the puppies during some free time, to play and share their love with them.”

Everyone present agreed that interacting with these beautiful puppies releases stress, and puts a smile on everyone’s face.

The CTA would like to thank Beth Albert, Terry Mennona and Lauralee Flynn for helping organize this year’s BideAwee visit. After visiting the high school in 2016, and the middle schools in 2017, the plan is to have this wonderful rescue organization visit Connetquot’s elementary

schools in 2018!

Members of the CTA agree that it is a pleasure supporting such a wonderful organization that does so much for abandoned, and abused, pets, and the families that adopt them.

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.

For additional information contact: www. bideawee.org.

In keeping with the true spirit of the holiday season, Brookhaven residents opened their hearts in a big way by donating thousands of toys at the Town’s INTERFACE Toy Drive.

The event, held on December 15th, in the lobby of Town Hall, was cosponsored by the Town of Brookhaven Youth Bureau and JVC Broadcasting with on-air personalities

from all five JVC radio stations broadcasting live throughout the day.

According to the organizers, it was the most toys they ever collected in one day. Through raising donations, the Toy Drive will provide gifts for more than 7,500 children in need, ranging in age from infant to 15 years of age.

Pictured left to right are JVC on-air personality

In an effort to enhance their scientific studies, first-graders at Connetquot Central School District’s Edward J. Bosti and Edith L. Slocum elementary schools recently received a visit from a Maritime Explorium representative for their “Wiggly Worms” workshop.

Throughout the course of the STEM-oriented activity, students became animal behaviorists as they took part in

respectful, animal-friendly experiments to investigate the senses and reactions of earthworms. Within designated workstations, the students explored what components of the habitat provided worms with the most desirable living environment.

The students were highly engaged as they discovered multiple factors which would impact the worms’ environment, such as their reactions

to different intensities of light, the types of soils and substrates most beneficial to their living situation, and how they responded in dry or moist conditions.

At the end of the experimentation period, the students gathered around in a circle and shared their findings amongst one another, explaining the factors they found to be most beneficial and harmful to the worms’ environmental factors.

Catching Snowflakes “We have only this moment, sparking like a star in our hand ~ and melting like a snowflake.” ~ Sir Francis Bacon As we approach the end of 2017 and look ahead to the new horizons of 2018, we reflect. Each year is full of its own moments, fleeting instants of happiness and sadness, anger and elation, all coming together to form this composite of life as we know it. And in those moments, we form the memories which carry us forward to the next chapter.

There are two schools of thought relating to this; the first is that things have the ability to change in the blink of an eye, to take on an entirely new, often unexpected

direction. This can be in the form of a beautiful surprise, or a tragic turn; there is simply no telling. We are well aware of these possibilities.

In fact, we will often remark how grateful we should be for the present, how appreciative of our blessings and those whom we love dearly. And yet, somewhere along the way, we tend to forget how very lucky we are.

beginning of a new one. Just as we must learn to accept unexpected circumstances, we must take an active role in changing our own.

Of course, all the theorizing in the world can only accomplish so much. A life on paper is not a life at all; the words must take shape in our actions and follow through in order to make any discernible difference. And, in that, we create our very own snowflake, a composite of our unique qualities and circumstances, our passions and personalities. No two are alike, and each one is exceptionally fragile and should be handled with care.

The second rationale follows the logic that, simply because the calendar has flipped its pages does not mean that any other substantial changes are destined to follow. New year, new you… but only if you take the necessary steps to make it so. Otherwise, it’s simply another day, just like all the Let 2018 be the year that we others; a continuation of the catch our snowflake. same path, rather than the

FIRST Tech Challenge is an international program featuring hundreds of tournaments for more than 46,000 students in nearly 20 countries.

Students demonstrate their problem-solving skills, creative thinking, teamwork, competitive play, sportsmanship and sense of community.

During all FIRST Tech Challenge tournaments, teams work in alliances with the goal of scoring more points, awarded through accomplishing the aforementioned tasks, during 150 seconds of game play, which includes autonomous and drivercontrolled periods, on a 12-by-12-foot playing field.

Last weekend’s scrimmages were the first events in the 2017-2018 FIRST Tech Challenge season on Long Island.

Long Island students will then use these robots to compete in Qualifier tournaments at Lynbrook High School (Sunday, January 7th, 2018); Center Moriches High School (January 13th-14th, 2018); and Sewanhaka High School (January 27th28th, 2018). Students will compete at these

Long Island Lutheran Middle & High School (LuHi) was once again home to FIRST® Tech Challenge Scrimmages – presented by SchoolBusiness Partnerships of Long Island, Inc. (SBPLI), which brought science and creativity together on a robotics playing field. On Saturday, December 9th and Sunday, December 10th, twenty-nine teams from across Long Island competed in a friendly tournament-style scrimmage that prepared them for the upcoming season of FIRST RELIC RECOVERYSM (presented

by Qualcomm).

Teams, comprised of students age 12 to 18, worked alongside adult mentors to design, build, program and operate robots to play a floor game in an alliance format on a 12-foot by 12-foot field.

This season, FIRST Tech Challenge teams across the world are asked to don their adventurers’ hats to create robots capable of retrieving opponentcolored jewels from platforms, scoring glyphs into crypto boxes, creating cipher patterns, moving “relics” to a recovery zone and parking their robots

Walk-In Service • Lab On Premises Need A New Hearing Aid? Try Us! OUR 32ND ANNIVERSARY • WHY GO ANYWHERE ELSE

New Year’s Eve is upon us - a night filled with merriment, an abundance of food, plenty of alcohol, and of course those dreaded resolutions. For me, it became an annual ritual to tell myself this is the year you’re going to lose weight and get healthy.

This year is different for me and, for the first time, my goals have expanded.

I want to be more active and take advantage of my newfound energy, as opposed to engaging in activities simply to lose weight and not be in pain, short of breath, uncomfortable. I want to work out more and focus on specific areas, as opposed to going to the gym and struggling to work out comfortably in order to burn calories to lose a few pounds. I want to help more people realize their health goals. This is new...

I have been given a gift to help others, and for that I am thankful.

So, when you are thinking about the resolutions you want to make this year,

ask yourself: If you were GUARANTEED success, how much weight loss would you write on your New Year’s resolution?

Would it be: 0-10 lbs., 11-25 lbs., 26-49 lbs., 50+ lbs.? I would love the opportunity to get to know you better and find out what your goals are. Give me a call so we can set up a time that works best for you.

Let’s make 2018 the best year yet!
