Using upcycled materials, P.J. Gelinas Junior High School several seventh through ninthgrade students created a beautiful mosaic for the guidance department with the help of art teacher Christopher Esser.

Working collaboratively,

the students created a spring-themed piece using multi-colored paper items. The students who completed the project were from Victoria Santiago’s, Jenna Perotti’s and Rob Fenster’s classes.

The final piece was officially revealed during

an unveiling ceremony attended by teachers and administrators.

The school plans to afford students the chance to create a new piece for the area each year and rotate the display of previous pieces to different areas of the building.

Donations Decorate Lives P.J. Gelinas Junior High School students and staff members learned that even the smallest donation could have a large impact on another life as they participated in a spirited Penny Wars contest this winter.

During the weeklong drive, which was coordinated by seventhgrader Sophia Adams, students and staff members donated pennies

during homeroom to benefit the Setauket-based organization Room 4 Love. As added excitement, students could deposit quarters in another class’s jar to lower that homeroom’s final tally and, at the same time, increase the overall donation.

More than $800 was collected during the drive and Christian Alessi’s homeroom was rewarded with tasty treats from

R.C. Murphy Junior High School ninth-grade students in John Strub’s classes are sharing a bit of their culture with peers through an alternative learning project.

In lieu of one quarterly journaling entry, global history and Advanced Placement world history

classes have the chance to help their peers make connections to their personal ethnicity or culture through song, dance or performance art.

For example, students most recently performed traditional Spanish and Hindi songs, played a French concerto on the

cello and shared a song and peasant dance native to Crete in Greece.

The project is an enrichment opportunity for the classes to understand various regions studied beyond the academic component discussed through the courses.

Members of the SHARP club also created a display outside the library with teachers’ responses to how they let their heart shine. In turn, students had a chance to write how they let their hearts shine on banners set up in the cafeteria.

To recognize those exemplifying positive behaviors, students

“caught” letting their heart shine will be recognized by their teachers, have their names displayed in a showcase and be entered into a drawing to win gift certificates to the school store.

Student Donations

289691N0225

High school students in New York are helping maintain the community blood supply by donating 1,100 lifesaving units of blood so far this school year. Students have three more months left in the academic year to make a meaningful difference for hospital patients and aim to win a scholarship from the Bob’s Discount Furniture $250,000 High School Heroes Scholarship Program.

The Bob’s High School Heroes Scholarship Program recognizes students who make exceptional contributions to the American Red Cross blood donation program in their schools, and helps encourage young people to become involved by helping patients in need.

High school students play an important role in supporting a sufficient blood supply.

Blood donations at high school and college blood drives account for up to 20 percent of donations during the school year, which is why scholarship programs like Bob’s High School Heroes are important in ensuring blood is available to patients whenever and wherever it is needed.

Bob’s Discount Furniture has been partnering with the Red Cross for more than 18 years.

“High school students are inspired to roll up their sleeves to help patients, thanks to the Bob’s High School Heroes Scholarship Program,” said Kay Schwartz, CEO, American Red Cross New York-Penn Blood Services Region. “The scholarship program helps the Red Cross make a difference in the lives of patients and empowers high school students to take a leadership role.”

“We’re impressed with how successful high school blood drives are so far and we challenge students to finish strong

in hopes of winning a scholarship this school year,” said Bob Kaufman, president emeritus of Bob’s Discount Furniture.

“Since this scholarship program launched in 2009, we’ve awarded nearly $650,000 to hundreds of students in Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Jersey and New York, and we look forward to awarding students again this year.”

Kaufman knows the crucial importance of a sufficient blood supply.

Medical crises required two of his family members to receive many blood transfusions. He lost his father Leo Kaufman and his 16-year-old nephew Scott Mulready to leukemia. The Kaufman family is forever thankful for the extra time with them made possible, in part, by blood donors.

Through the generosity of Bob, employees, customers and members of the community, Bob’s Discount Furniture blood drives have collected more than 38,000 units of lifesaving blood.

Students who host at least two high school blood drives throughout the year and achieve an annual participation rate of at least 30 percent of age-eligible students at their schools qualify to win a base scholarship of $250. Students who meet those initial requirements are also eligible to win additional scholarships, including up to eight $1,000 grand prize scholarships per winning school, which is determined by totaling the blood units donated from each school. The winners in each state are determined by the number of students who donate and the total units collected.

Come And Try A Class No Obligation!

On the same night that the Earl L. Vandermeulen High School Girls Varsity Basketball team clinched their league championship title, the team’s shooting guard, Courtney Lewis marked a milestone in her own career - scoring her 1,000th point.

“It felt great,” said Lewis, who noted the role her teammates played in helping her achieve her

accomplishment.

Lewis started the championship game with 992 points and with less than two minutes left on the clock in the first quarter, she scored her 1,000th-point.

“It is an impressive achievement that very few individuals accomplish,” said Debra Ferry, director of physical education, health and athletics.

Staff Recognition Lewis, who started playing varsity basketball in the seventh-grade, is currently one of the top ten scorers in Suffolk County.

She plans to continue to play the game that was introduced to her by her father throughout high school and into college.

Lewis also plays soccer, runs spring track and is a member of the varsity club.

While students and staff were snuggled warm in their homes during the last few snowstorms, the Port Jefferson School District’s Operations and Maintenance staff were hard at work ensuring that the district’s parking lots and sidewalks were not only clear of snow and ice, but safe.

For their hard work, the Port Jefferson Board

of Education paid tribute to the crew by presenting them with certificates during the February 10th Board of Education meeting.

“The work has been extensive with crews working for 36 hours in a row just during the blizzard. Some of them even stayed over night in sleeping bags. We would be remiss if we did not thank

them for their efforts,” said Superintendent Dr. Kenneth Bossert.

Speaking to the Operations and Maintenance staff in attendance, BOE President Kathleen Brennan said, “You have been tested by water, wind, snow and repairs. On behalf of the BOE, I thank you.”

Blizzard Bags recipients of the Meals on Wheels program to have on hand in the event that bad weather prevents their weekly meals from being delivered by the Three Village Meals on Wheels program.

Each ‘Blizzard Bag’ contains four shelf-stable

meals for the seniors, including boxed or canned, non-perishable items that can be stored and used in the event of bad weather.

All of the items in the bags were donated by the Leo Club, which raised funds to purchase the food through bake sales.

Motivation Honored During its February 10th meeting, the Port Jefferson Rotary Club honored two Port Jefferson Middle School students as Most Motivated students. Sixthgrader Mattea Rabeno received the award for the month of January and eighth-grader Jillian

Lawler was presented with the award for December.

Rabeno earned the award, according to her math teacher, Meg Ryan, for being an extremely hard working student, who is especially thoughtful and kind. She is also a valued member of the Port

Jefferson Middle School Student Council.

Lawler earned her award, according to her English teacher Kayleen Everitt, for being a stellar student, especially when it comes to writing and reading.

Joining The Youth Orchestra

Ward Melville High School junior Constance Mulford has been selected as a feature artist for BLIZZARD BAGS - Port Jefferson Leo Club members create Blizzard Bags for those the Metropolitan Youth Orchestra of New York and in need. Photo courtesy of: Hampton Bays School District

She will join the members of the MYO Horn Quartet in a free performance at St. Mark’s Church in Islip on Sunday, March 1st, at 3 p.m. The recital will feature works by F. Strauss, Gliere, Mozart, Liszt, Vaughan Williams and the first movement of Robert Schumann’s “Konzertstuck for 4 Horns.”

This recital will serve as a preview for the Quartet’s debut as featured artists

at the Metropolitan Youth Orchestra of New York Suffolk Principal Orchestra’s winter concert, to be held on March 22nd at the Staller Center for the Performing Arts at Stony Brook University.

The orchestra will perform under the leadership of retired Three Village orchestra teacher Phil Preddice.

Two Suffolk County Community College students’ research papers have been published on the web site Skeptical Science whose goal is to explain what peer reviewed science has to say about global warming. The web site says, “Skeptical Science removes the politics from the debate by concentrating solely on the science.”

Christopher J. Mignano of Shirley and Neil P. Costa of Shoreham, both students of Professor of Physical Sciences and Assistant Chair of the Physical Sciences Department Scott Mandia debunked two climate change myths as part of their research in Mandia’s Global Climate Change Class.

In The Medieval Climate Anomaly: A Myth Debunked, Christopher Mignano wrote that Global Climate change skeptics erroneously point to data regarding the

Medieval Warm Period as evidence that the current warming observed by scientists globally is part of a natural, cyclical climate phenomenon and therefore not anthropic.

These sceptics often use a practice known as “cherry picking” to mine data that support their arguments while ignoring the remaining data that could potentially refute it.

Mignano continued later in his research with: …today’s warming is global in scope, (whereas the warming experienced during the Medieval Warm Period was regional) and global temperatures then, were cooler than today.

In fact, recent research conducted by Shaun A. Marcott et al and published in the journal Science suggest global temperatures are warmer today than at any time in the last 20,000 years (Skeptical Science, 2014).

In student Neil Costa’s research paper, The Serious Nature of Ocean

Acidification and Its Implications for Human Beings, Costa wrote that: One of the greatest myths perpetuated by the global climate change contrarians is that ocean acidification is not serious. This is not true. Ocean acidification has been proven to be occurring, and is a result of unnatural amounts of carbon being introduced into the atmosphere by humans.

More importantly, ocean acidification is a serious issue, and is capable of putting extreme stress on human beings. This myth, this ignorance of the dangers associated with ocean acidification, does not take into account the fundamental balance of the oceanic ecosystem, as well as human reliance on it. Ocean acidification destroys the calcium carbonate covers plankton protect themselves with through the unavailability of materials and outright

corrosion. This decreases the plankton population’s size, vigor and number, leading to adverse effects on the populations of all other oceanic species that play a role in this food chain, including humans, a sizeable portion of who rely on seafood as their primary source of protein.

Professor Mandia’s course, Global Climate Change, brings modern climate change science to undergraduate liberal arts students and provides students with the scientific background to understand the role of natural and humanforced climate change so that they are better prepared to become involved in the discussion.

Students learn how past climates are determined and why humans are causing most of the observed modern day warming. The technical and political solutions to climate change are also discussed.

“Very quickly, students

17

Research Paper Published come to realize that climate change is the most important news story they are not hearing enough about,” Mandia said.

“They also realize that action is required now if we wish to avoid the most serious consequences.

I am fond of telling my students that I hope there are 35 activated climate change ambassadors by the time the semester is

finished.”

Professor Mandia is one of 13 international scientists and professors who are instructors in the Massive Online Open Course (MOOC) titled Making Sense of Climate Science Denial.

This MOOC is set to go live in April 2015 and is produced by The University of Queensland, Australia.

Buddies By: Jamie Lynn Ryan On February 16th, my “half-birthday,” I decided the time was right to adopt another fish to join the family.

As of this writing, “Buddy” – as I dubbed my aqua-colored delta-fin betta fish – is adjusting quite nicely to life in his betta bowl.

He swims, he floats, he eats… although not when I’m in the vicinity. I literally found myself crouching down out of sight to see if he was, in fact, eating. Most fish can’t wait for that first flake to drop; Buddy, not so much. Perhaps he’s just self-conscious. But I finally caught him in the act, sucking down a betta pellet and – get

this – chewing it thoroughly.

I know, I know… fish don’t have teeth. But his motions mimicked a dog munching on a treat, breaking it down bit by bit until he had fully digested his dinner.

That’s my Buddy, pretty and quirky and providing some of the best entertainment this side of the aquarium since my dearly departed finned friends, Harry and Harvey. By all accounts, bettas have a much more substantial lifespan than your average goldfish, so let’s hope Buddy hangs in for a while. Of course, I suppose he could already be pushing 3 years old as we speak, so his longevity remains to be seen.

For me, the biggest test will

be the weekly water change / “bath time” process, that unwelcome disturbance of fishbowl tranquility that all marine life seems to detest.

Unfortunately for Buddy, he has no shrubbery or decorative toys to hide behind – yet. We’ll see if I can find something appropriate for his little underwater kingdom. For now, he’ll just have to deal with being on full display for all to see.

Hopefully, Buddy will still be flitting around come August 16th, and we can celebrate his “half-birthday” along with my “full” one. In any case, he now has a column to officially commemorate his arrival. Just what every fish wants.

SHOULD PRO TEAMS BE HELD TO A HIGHER STANDARD THAN LITTLE LEAGUES? SUBMITTED BY: SAHIL KAPOOR, LINDENHURST HIGH SCHOOL

Every athlete or coach does his/ her best to win, to earn awards and to be famous. Some people might go farther than they should to achieve this goal.

Not only in little leagues or school teams do people cheat, but also in professional leagues.

There have been many cases where people have cheated to get what they strived for. Does this mean they should be stripped of their awards? What if it was the coach’s fault and not the athletes? Who should be penalized for it?

This year in the NFL, it has been alleged that the Patriots cheated their way into the Super Bowl.

They deflated the footballs so it was easier for the quarterbacks and the running backs to hold and the receivers to catch.

Every team member had to

have noticed the difference in the footballs, but yet no one did anything. An even bigger surprise is that the coach and quarterback denied any knowledge of it.

Did they get what they wanted?

Yes. The Patriots cheated their way into winning the Super Bowl.

This is not the first time they have cheated to win the Super Bowl.

First it was “Spy-Gate”; now it’s Deflate-Gate. However, they weren’t penalized for their actions.

They have kept their titles and enjoyed victory parades.

Yet, in the case with the Jackie Robinson West team, all the Little League athletes were stripped of their title. In that situation, the team “was stripped of its national title after an investigation revealed that team officials had falsified area boundaries. They did this

to add ineligible players to the roster.” (Newsday) In this case, the athletes couldn’t possibly have been aware of the fact that what the team officials did was illegal. Yet all their hard work had been for nothing. Every win they had was taken away from them.

So, why were these children stripped of their titles, but the Patriots got to keep their wins?

The Patriots’ wins were the biggest accomplishment in the football industry.

Why is it that the little leagues have been stripped of their title but the professional leagues haven’t? Even though cheating in the first place isn’t right, should the athletes be punished if it wasn’t their fault? That’s your opinion to decide.

( N A P S I ) — T h e C(NAPSI)—Making a small room appear larger can be as simple as using color creatively. To add some breathing room to a compact space, all you need are some colorful ideas.

“Color is one of the easiest, most affordable ways to transform the look and feel of a room,” says David Bromstad, HGTV® star and celebrity interior designer. “When used in a few well-chosen places, such as a feature wall or statement piece of furniture, color can have a big impact in a small space.”

Bromstad offers these color tips for transforming a space from tiny to airy: Create a focal point with paint. Paint a statement wall that draws attention away from the size of your space and toward something beautiful and vibrant. Bright or bold colors work well, as the wall can appear to recede,

creating the illusion of space.

Go big with lighter and softer colors. In areas beyond the feature wall, use lighter and softer colors to make the space seem larger. Light blues and greens add significant light subtly to a room.

Coordinate your colors.

Stretch your space and maximize impact by using color to coordinate your rooms and decor. HGTV® HOME by SherwinWilliams offers precoordinated collections of color, paint and wallpaper.

The color palettes can be used to ensure that your walls, furniture and accessories help create a cohesive look.

Reflect upon something.

Placed opposite a window or side by side, mirrors can spread light throughout the room to make spaces feel larger. A tall mirror draws the eye up, making ceilings look taller. When angled toward your room’s focal wall, a mirror can

also create the illusion of depth.

Paint something unexpected. Think beyond your walls and consider painting your mailbox or address numbers on your home, a stairway banister or a piece of furniture.

Add a colorful punctuation point by transforming a bedroom nightstand bright blue or a desk chair in an unexpected orange.

Everything else in the room will appear larger.

“Clever use of color adds the illusion of space and injects personality into it as well. That’s what’s great about color; you can dramatically alter the look of a room while expressing yourself in a fun way,” Bromstad adds.

Consumers Should Take Advantage Of Free Credit Reports ( N A P S I ) — T h e Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) found that many consumers are overwhelmed by the amount of information available to help them learn more about the financial services marketplace. At the same time, the CFPB found one of the most popular resources offered is information about credit reports.

The credit bureaus have found that information about credit reports is

popular as well. “Each year, there are over 25 million free credit reports provided to consumers,” said Stuart K. Pratt, president and CEO of the Consumer Data Industry Association. “And while that’s a significant number, there are still a considerable number of consumers who aren’t exercising their option to get their report. According to a survey done by VantageScore and the Consumer Federation of America, 37 percent of consumers have never

obtained a copy of their credit report,” he added.

Consumers can get a free credit report from each of the three nationwide credit bureaus, Equifax, Experian and Trans-Union, once a year by going to www.annualcreditreport. com. The process is easy and enables consumers to have real-time access to their credit reports.

“Many people get annual medical checkups. We encourage consumers to be just as conscientious when it comes to their personal finances; get an annual credit checkup by obtaining your free credit report,” added Pratt.

TWO SENIOR DOGS FOUND TOGETHER On a cold day in January, Little Shelter went out on rescue. This is nothing new; they do it all the time.

But on this day, a very special rescue was made. This was the day that Betty and Wilma were given a second chance at life. Betty and Wilma are two senior Labrador mixes.

These two ladies were found wandering the streets by a local town shelter. They were aimlessly walking together, in the dead of winter.

Of course, Betty and Wilma aren’t their real names; we’ll never know their names.

Wilma and Betty weren’t wearing tags and they weren’t microchipped. They simply had to fend for themselves.

Wilma is a sweet, sassy Chocolate Lab; and best friend, Betty, is a lively and loveable Black Lab. These wonderful dogs are truly inseparable. Their kennels are right next to each other at Little Shelter, but of course, that’s not close enough. These girls whine and cry for each other and are just ecstatic when then have the opportunity to play together.

Betty and Wilma are happy-go-lucky and full of energy. They love people, adore each other and are a pleasure to be with. Because these ladies are so attached, Little Shelter is looking for a family to adopt both of them.

If you have room in your home and your heart for Wilma and Betty, please call or stop

by Little Shelter.

Little Shelter is located at 33 Warner Road in Huntington. Call 631.368.8770, extension Perserverance 21, for more information, or stop by the Shelter during business hours, 12:00 noon to In the realm of ideas, 5:00 p.m. on weekends and 1:00 to 7:00 p.m. on weekdays. everything depends on enthusiasm; in the TO HAVE YOUR SHELTER INCLUDED IN NEIGHBOR PET’S PLACE, real world, all rests on CONTACT JAMIE LYNN RYAN AT 631.226.2636, EXTENSION 275, perseverance.
