Sitting outdoors During the windy storm Listening to the wind As it whistles while Winding through the Willow tree’s long Thin branches Weaving gently High and low tones Through the soft twigs So fragile Wishing only to whistle And never destroy

Nearby stands the oak Whistling here is a joke As the wind strikes it hard Bong bang drums Sound its bark No need to be gentle Wash pointed leaves To the ground Return to the willow Weaving gently through Branches dangling dancing Forever.

A Grain in a World of Sand By: John McGowan

Am I really a grain in a world of sand?

Or someone important Can you understand?

Much like you I have those highs and lows And life speeds by but where to Only heaven knows I have heard it said there’s life out there Maybe so but exactly where?

Day follows night and night the day All this I know but where’s the way To find myself in this vast expanse When everything seems left to chance?

And just when I’ve give up To accept the gloom A biding faith begins to bloom.

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.”

Admin of the Year or district leader who has provided outstanding support to the school counseling profession through development of the district’s comprehensive school counseling program or other program innovations.

It acknowledges the demonstration of outstanding leadership, advocacy and collaboration in promoting equity and access for all students to rigorous educational opportunities.

“As someone who began her career as a school counselor, your support and understanding of the profession as superintendent

of schools deserves recognition,” noted Dr. Barbara Donnellan, NYSSCA President in her congratulatory letter. “Your advocacy for students, facilitation of difficult situations and careful attention to the recent revision of your district school counseling program all contributed to your selection for this recognition.”

In her nomination letter, Bergson highlights Pedisich’s caring and detailed approach to education.

“Ms. Pedisich’s style of leadership has always been one of collaboration and respect for others,” the

letter reads. “She is always a professional, a wonderful listener and if she asks you to do something she will always offer to help you accomplish it.”

Bergson goes on to explain Pedisich’s role in the lengthy process to update the district’s guidance plan and overhaul the grading policy from an alphabetical to numerical system.

“We realized how fortunate we are to have a truly outstanding educational leader and it is really wonderful when an outside group affirms our view of the superintendent and the outstanding leadership that she is

providing,” Board of Education President William F. Connors, Jr. added.

“Tonight is very special for a number of reasons – not only for this wonderful and most appreciated honor – but because it is coming from an organization that represents my origins as an educator,” said Pedisich.

“When I reflect back on my career I have to say, without a doubt, that those first years were the most intrinsically rewarding for me; they meant a great deal to me. Those years, set in motion a career in education in a place I have come to value, respect and now view as a family.

I would not be in this position or the educator I am, if not for this place and the people with whom I have worked.”

Pedisich began her career in the district in September 1984 as a school guidance counselor.

Throughout her tenure in Three Village, she has served as a chairperson of the Ward Melville High School guidance department, as well as executive and assistant director of pupil personal services before becoming an assistant superintendent and ultimately the superintendent of the district.

ROOM OF LIVING SUBMITTED BY: RALPHAEL FLORES, GRADE 6, BAY SHORE MIDDLE SCHOOL

You walk into a beautiful room, full of peach smelling plants.

It is for relaxation.

A brown, furry dog lying on the ground.

Wooden tables on both corners of the room.

A cage full of birds, wings that look like two big hang gliders.

Flat screen TV, playing music.

Smell of curry soars across the room.

Great food brought to the tables.

Chicken curry, white rice and string beans.

Jolly kids sit down to eat at the table.

Eyes light up like lanterns in the night sky.

They sit on soft chairs that feel like sitting on big, brown clouds.

They begin eating in the room of living.

Spellers Advance Three Village students showcased their linguistic skills this winter by participating in school spelling bees at R.C. Murphy Junior High School, Setauket and W.S. Mount Elementary Schools.

After winning their classroom bees, the students competed in the school-wide contests.

Each contestant took turns spelling some of the hardest words found in the dictionary as they battled for several rounds for the chance to earn the top speller title.

Jonathan Huang was named the winner at Murphy with the word molasses; Ryan Himmelsbach was named the winner at Setauket

with the word secession, and Daphna Fineberg was named the winner at Mount with the word migraine.

The school spelling champs will now compete in the Long Island Regional Spelling Bee. P.J. Gelinas Junior High School will host a school bee at the end of January.

Raising Funds to Adopt Earl L. Vandermeulen High School Environmental Club members have reached their goal to ‘adopt’ two chimpanzees through various fundraising projects.

Over the holiday break, club members adopted chimps Thabu and Zac, who reside at the Jane Goodall Institute South Africa Chimpanzee

Sanctuary.

“The students were determined to adopt the chimps by the holidays,” said club advisor Dawn DeLeonardis-Moody. “This is a cause near and dear to them, especially our Club President Arunima Roy who is a Roots & Shoots National Youth Leader.”

To raise the $100 needed to adopt the animals, club members sold reusable

water bottles, held healthy bake sales and plant sales.

Additionally, the students hosted an Optimum Charity Challenge where participants learned how to make repurposed arts and crafts.

With the adoption, the students will receive periodic updates on the chimps’ wellbeing.

RAISING FUNDS TO ADOPT - Earl L. Vandermeulen High School Environmental Club members held several fundraisers to raise funds to adopt two chimpanzees at the BLESSING OF THE HALL - On January 9th, Councilwoman Jane Bonner joined Jane Goodall Institute South Africa Chimpanzee Sanctuary.

Morning Greeters As part of its character education program, Edna Louise Spear Elementary School has introduced a new initiative, called Morning Greeters.

Each day, coordinating teachers Carleen Parmegiani and Doreen Marullo select four

students to serve as the following day’s Morning Greeters. These individuals are then encouraged to welcome fellow students as they enter the school by simply saying, “Good Morning.” The program is aimed at sparking added friendliness within the

DNA Exam

school’s walls.

“Since we started the program, we have noticed that more people are saying good morning and starting off their day in a friendly manner,” said Ms. Parmegiani.

Rocky Point Middle School sixth-graders are working on cutting edge, groundbreaking scientific research through the school’s GATES program.

As part of a DNA extraction and analysis procedure, the students are studying the DNA sequence of a specific gene of the Allegheny ants located in the Rocky Point Pine Barrens behind the school.

With the help of Dr. Aleida Perez and Amanda Horn from Brookhaven National

Labs (BNL), students are looking for bacterial DNA, which may be associated with the ants.

Working in groups, the students collected ant samples and extracted their DNA after they were frozen

by BNL. They then worked to complete a Polymerase Chain Reaction, which amplifies the DNA to create additional strands.

After completing a gel electrophoresis, the students will analyze the samples and make note of

the results.

This year’s GATES students are following in the footsteps of the GATES students from last year, who first looked at the ants’ DNA and submitted data to a national “gene bank.” This year’s students will once again submit their data to the scientific community and present their project at BNL’s Open Space Stewardship Celebration in June.

Board of Ed Recognition The Port Jefferson Board of Education recognized three individuals during its meeting on January 12th.

Among those honored were eighth-grader Lucas Rohman, special education teacher Monica Consalvo and Edna Louise Spear Elementary School Principal Thomas Meehan.

Each individual was presented with a certificate of recognition, starting with Rohman. The middle school student was honored for being named one of John Hopkins University’s Brightest

Young Students in the World. As an awardee, Rohman qualified to attend a Center for Talented Youth residential summer program and participate in online classes and several family programs.

Consalvo was acknowledged for her work ethic, initiative and dedication. Prior to being presented with a certificate of recognition, Port Jefferson Middle School Principal Dr. Robert Neidig said, “It is clear that Ms. Consalvo loves what she does and makes everyone

around her better, including myself.”

Aside from attending many school activities outside the school day, Dr. Neidig noted that Ms. Consalvo frequently goes above and beyond her duties to forward the mission of the school district.

Mr. Meehan was commended for being named a 2015 Person of the Year by the Port Times Record. In celebration, he was presented a plaque that will be hung in the 12 DAYS OF KINDNESS - To inspire kindness within their school, second graders elementary school. in Carleen Parmegiani class participated in a 12 Days of Kindness initiative. As part of the initiative, Edna Louise Spear Elementary School students carried out 12 good deeds for 12 days in a row. Photo courtesy of: Port Jefferson School District

Mixing Kindness selfless behavior and helped someone in need with no expectation of material return. They demonstrate the sense of spirit the District aims to achieve throughout its school community and are role models for others.

This year’s awardees include students Serena Mangino, Hallie Benson, Emily Hampson, Emily Lambert, Wayne Wesemann and Nicole Volovar.

To receive the OAR award, students must distinguish themselves as academic inspirations

and have efficiently risen to the educational challenges presented to them. The students either met long-term goals or are students who have exhibited commendable improvement.

Recipients include Jake MacMonigle, Ricky Abreu, Emily Bruno, Wayne Wesemann and Anthony Santangelo.

Miller Place High School student Wayne Wesemann received both awards for understanding the meaning of hard work.

Gnome Bridges Frank J. Carasiti Elementary School first-graders worked as engineers as they completed a gnome bridge designing and building project with the help of teacher Jennifer Meschi.

After reading a short about a village of gnomes who were in need of a

bridge to cross on the walk home from work, the students collaborated in small groups to design the bridge and figure out which materials were needed to build the bridge.

For added challenge, students were tasked with creating a bridge that held the weight of four gnomes

and one wheelbarrow, which equated to the weight of three crayons.

The crayons needed to be able to roll over the bridge and the bridge was required to have guardrails The project was directly connected to the grade level’s Next Generation Science Standards.

MIXING KINDNESS - The Miller Place School District recently awarded ten Miller Place High School students for their character and academic achievement. The students received Outstanding Acts of Kindness awards in addition to Outstanding Academic Recognition awards during a breakfast with friends and family. Recipients include: Jake MacMonigle, Wayne Wesemann, Nicole Volovar, Serena Mangino, Hallie Benson, Emily Lambert, Emily Hampson, Anthony Santangelo, Ricky Abreu and GNOME BRIDGES - Frank J.

By: Jamie Lynn Ryan Three customer service calls.

Five “live” online chats. No fewer than four individual “incident” numbers to reference. And still, nearly six weeks later, no resolution.

Allow me to back up and fill in the blanks. A few days after Black Friday, I decided to use a credit obtained through a retailer-whoshall-not-be-named, coupled with several other coupons and promotions, to purchase a pair of sneakers (and socks) online.

No problem. Order processed, confirmed, waiting for shipment.

Over a week later, an e-mail stating that a portion of my order (aforementioned sneakers) had been cancelled, as they were suddenly “out of stock.” The socks, however, arrived all by their lonesome several days later.

Annoying? Sure. But, more to the point, what became of my credit which, thanks to the delay in processing, was now expired, having not been applied to my

now-cancelled purchase? One would assume I would be entitled to some sort of refund/coupon/ gift card in order to make future use of this sum, now $2.99 less thanks to the socks. One would also think that a store’s customer service representatives would be well versed in how to handle such a scenario, seeing as I couldn’t have been the first person to ever encounter such a cancelled order/ credit issue.

And yet, here we are, approaching the close of January, and still no sign of that “customer is always right” mantra. No, all I’ve gotten is the runaround, everything from “your gift card is in the mail” to “we can only apply the credit to a future online order, but the time frame has already expired” to “we’ll make an exception and e-mail you a new coupon code to use in-store or online” … none of which has occurred.

The best part – and I do mean that in the most facetious way possible – is that each attempt to

contact customer service has been met with an equally incompetent representative who, despite my relaying of the entire situation and the latest “incident” number provided, have no clue what I’m talking about, why I was given such an array of inaccurate information, or, quite frankly, what to do to rectify the issue. And this is their profession. Inspires all sorts of confidence, doesn’t it?

As I write this, a confirmation e-mail has arrived in my inbox, detailing my “inquiry” (which one?) and providing not one, but two, completely different incident numbers, one in the subject line, the other in the body of the rather nondescript form letter. There is also a customer service number to contact which, upon dialing, takes you on a whirlwind tour of automated extensions before settling into hold music for a solid 15 minutes, followed by dead silence as the call disconnects.

And this, ladies and gentlemen, is why I refuse to shop online.

Ever. Again.
