The Suffolk County Legislature has unanimously approved legislation to make discounted golf fees for veterans and active military personnel permanent.

This resolution, sponsored

by Deputy Presiding Officer Jay Schneiderman (I-Montauk), expands the pilot program which was set to expire on March 11th, 2014.

In 2012, Legislator S c h n e i d e r m a n introduced legislation which established a pilot program to charge military veterans golfing fees equivalent to those paid by senior citizens.

Since the implementation of this fee structure approximately 1,000 veterans or active military personnel have played a round of golf at Suffolk County courses. “Members of

the military serve to protect the freedoms of this country,” says Deputy Presiding Officer Jay Schneiderman. “This is one small way we can show our appreciation to the men and women of the armed forces.”

“I support Deputy Presiding Officer Schneiderman’s legislation authorizing reduced fees for our veterans at county golf courses,” said Presiding Officer DuWayne Gregory.

“The pilot program was a great success and many of our veterans took advantage of the reduced fees. I am in favor of anything we can do to support the veterans who protect our freedom every day.”

Suffolk County Parks contains four golf courses which include Indian Island Golf Course in Riverhead, Bergen Point

Golf Course in Babylon, Timber Point Golf Course in Great River and the West Sayville Golf Course.

Each golf course is open from mid-March through December and is staffed by a PGA professional, a driving range, a practice green and a full service restaurant and catering facility.

This legislation now moves to Suffolk County Executive Steve Bellone for his signature.

Suffolk County Veterans can contact the Parks Department at 631.854.4949 or go to Suffolk County Park locations where green keys are sold with proper proof of residency; veterans must submit DD Form 214 (Certificate of release or Discharge from Active Duty) or Suffolk County Veteran Resident ID card issued by Suffolk County Veterans Agency.

Last Sunday, as my family was gathering for spaghetti and meatballs, we received a phone call from my grandmother.

She sounded noticeably different.

We could tell that something was wrong because her voice was shaky, and she did not offer the usual pleasantries. After a few minutes of crying, she told us that her cat had passed away. She loved that cat for the twenty-something years that it was around, and during the last few days, she could sense that something was wrong.

I anticipated that she would be inconsolable,

because she truly cared about her precious feline.

We were devastated as well, until we got another call. It was my uncle. He had great news.

His wife was pregnant and they were expecting a baby. We never expected him to have kids, even though he seemed to love them. It was a welcomed shock to us, and even more needed for my grandmother.

She had lost a cat, but had also potentially gained a grandchild. It seemed as if this baby was coming to fill and exceed the gap left by the animal’s passing.

Essentially, the point that I am trying to make

gracious professionalism both on and off the playing field. This team is able to communicate their experiences, enthusiasm and knowledge to other teams, sponsors and the judges. Working as a unit, this team demonstrated success in accomplishing the task of creating a working and competitive robot.

“I am absolutely thrilled and incredibly proud of these students,” said team coach and Rocky Point teacher Dorothy Burns.

“They have worked so hard and put in a tremendous amount of time and effort.”

The team prepares for these competitions at their weekly meetings, during which they have learned not only how to construct a robot based on the FTC’s

specific requirements, but also how to develop computer programs to control the movements of their creation. During the competition, the students’ robot earns a varying number of points for each task it can complete – including moving blocks into containers to suspending from a bar atop a ramp. Although it must be able to navigate through complex challenges, its design elements are limited based on the competition specifications – it must fit into an 18-inch cube, although it can grow in size during the two-and-ahalf minute competition.

National Honors Earned

Fifteen Ward Melville High School seniors have been named finalists in the 2014 National Merit Scholarship Program.

These academically talented seniors were first honored as semifinalists earlier this year based on their Preliminary SAT/ National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test results – a test that serves as an initial screening of approximately 1.5 million entrants each year ¬– and by meeting

published program entry/participation requirements.

As finalists, the seniors will have the opportunity to continue in the competition for some 8,000 National Merit Scholarships worth approximately $32 million.

The district congratulates the following finalists: Charlotte Broadbent Ryan Gao Luran He Olivia Hu

Elementary school students throughout the Three Village Central School marked the 100th day of school in creative ways this year.

At Arrowhead, kindergarten students created a museum comprised of 100 day inspired projects. Working with their families, the students fashioned creative artwork out of 100 everyday objects, including balloons, food items and toys. Incorporating their math skills, the students practiced counting to 100 while creating necklaces made of 100 Fruit Loops

and balancing 100 different objects on a scale and determining which weighed more. They also created colorful 100 day hats.

W.S. Mount Elementary School kindergartners in Dawn McNally’s class celebrated in a similar fashion – creating necklaces out of 100 Fruit Loops or Cheerios and creating hats with 10 sections of 10 pictures.

Other classes at Mount celebrated by creating projects using the number 100, which were displayed in the building’s showcase.

AP Bio Visit Earl L. Vandermeulen High School students in Greg Gorniok’s AP Biology class recently traveled to the Biotechnology Teaching Center at SUNY Stony Brook’s Center for Science and Math Education to conduct a hands-on learning experience in biotechnology.

“Students genetically

engineered bacteria through transformation with plasmid DNA,” said Gorniok. “They learned techniques used to insert genes from jellyfish and sea anemones into bacteria. The transformed bacteria were then able to produce proteins, which made them glow.”

The lab activity

Mini-College Fair emphasized experimental design and applications of biotechnology in various industries, such as medicine, agriculture and environmental cleanup.

Recent scientific breakthroughs in molecular biology research and their social implications were also discussed.

On March 11th, the Earl L. Vandermeulen High School guidance department hosted 95 colleges and universities at its spring mini-college fair for its sophomore and junior classes.

The school hosts two fairs per academic year, beginning with a fall session for juniors and

seniors, to help students gather information about a particular school prior to visiting or applying for admission.

“Students are able to ask the college representatives questions about the schools and see what programs are offered,” said Earl L. Vandermeulen High School guidance staff

member Rose Darling.

“This works in conjunction with the meetings the guidance counselors have with their students when discussing and applying to colleges.

Sometimes students will find they have an interest in a school they didn’t even know about.”

Words Have Consequences

Suffolk County Police Officer (SCPO) Nancy Ward visited Eastern Long Island Academy of Applied Technology, at the Ward Technical Center in Riverhead, to present a PoliceSmart Cyberbullying workshop to high school students.

Ward incorporated copyright infringement and plagiarism into her presentation at the request of the teachers.

The primary focus of the presentation was on sexting and the many causes for doing it. Sexting is the act of sending sexually explicit messages, revealing photos or videos electronically, primarily between mobile phones and computers. “Students may engage in sexting because of peer pressure, impulsiveness, revenge, boyfriend/girlfriend issues, blackmail, or to flirt and get attention,” said Ward.

The problem is that the pictures never go away.

She said that everyone lives with saying or doing something they regret, but taking a picture and sharing it, “Well, you can never take it back,” said Ward. “It’s out there in

cyberspace and someday it may resurface and it could potentially destroy your chance for a job or a career opportunity.”

Students enrolled in the Academy are acquiring skills that will make them career and college ready.

The workshop was offered to help guide students to think and act appropriately and to be responsible and do the right thing.

Nancy Ward has been a police officer for 21 years but began her career as a teacher. She combined the two experiences and has been giving PoliceSmart presentations to nine school districts across Long Island and Eastern Suffolk BOCES for 13 years. She said, “I love to teach and I want to help kids to make better choices.

They need to understand that phones have power and indiscretions can be destructive.”

Technology can be addictive, and sending words and inappropriate pictures can have consequences. Ward said, “Everyone needs to think before hitting that send button.”

A human being can only

be pushed down so much with words like stupid, dumb, and ugly. Words can chip away at a person’s selfesteem and those words may start to label people.

Labels are like tattoos that can’t be removed.

“Cyberbullying can escalate to harassment, defamation, and ultimately be a criminal act,” said PO Ward. Suicide rates, especially violent suicides, have increased, and that is cause for concern.

“Unfortunately,” Ward said, “suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem.”

Student, Rodrigo Calderon, MattituckCutchogue UFSD, and adult student William Krakehl from the Academy’s Auto Tech Program, stayed after to speak to SCPO Ward about taking the police exam. When asked about the Cyberbullying presentation, they said it was beneficial and agreed that a person, who hides behind a computer or phone, and sends inappropriate texts or pictures, is a coward.

They agreed that ‘it takes courage to say no’.

Gwen O’Shea, president/ CEO of the Health and Welfare Council of Long Island. “With its latest efforts, the Red Cross is also reaffirming its confidence in the nonprofit sector to harness the power of volunteers to assist storm survivors.

The Long Island Long Term Recovery Group is grateful for their support of the Long Island Disaster Recovery Center, which will be the multiagency command center for voluntary agencies. It will allow more groups to assist homeowners in their recovery.”

Last spring, the Health & Welfare Council received a $1 million grant from the Red Cross to distribute through the Long Island Unmet Needs Roundtable.

The Roundtable, which brings together a diverse group of philanthropic donors, offers financial assistance to help meet unmet needs for people affected by Sandy.

John Miller, CEO, American Red Cross on Long Island, said: “This new grant builds on the strong partnership between the Health and Welfare Council of Long Island and the Red Cross and shows our ongoing commitment to help Sandy survivors recover and rebuild. The Disaster Recovery Center will be a great resource.”

Local elected officials were also pleased about the

collaboration between the Red Cross and the Health and Welfare Council.

Suffolk County Executive Steve Bellone said: “The Red Cross has truly served Suffolk County residents prior to and in the aftermath of Superstorm Sandy. This funding initiative is yet another opportunity where the Red Cross continues to support recovery efforts on Long Island. Providing housing for the hundreds of volunteers who are still assisting residents is extremely crucial to the timeliness of repairs. I applaud John Miller, Gwen O’Shea, the American Red Cross, and the Health and Welfare Council for their continued commitment to the recovery efforts of Long Islanders.”

Nassau County Executive Edward P. Mangano said: “I commend the Red Cross for donating the funds necessary for this Disaster Recovery Center. This facility will not only serve as a command center, but will provide vital housing for 150 volunteers as they work to repair hundreds of Superstorm Sandy-damaged homes throughout our communities. I thank the Red Cross and Health & Welfare Council for their commitment to our recovery and repair efforts.”

Superstorm Sandy is the largest U.S. operation

by the Red Cross in more than five years, and thanks to the public’s generous support, the Red Cross has received $309 million in donations for Sandy emergency relief and recovery efforts.

As of December 31, the Red Cross has spent or committed nearly $287 million – nearly 93 percent of the donated funds.

The Red Cross has also partnered with and funded numerous communitybased organizations to support the recovery of individuals and families on Long Island who were affected by Sandy. These partners include Catholic Charities USA, Community Development Corporation of Long Island, Disability Opportunity Fund, FEGS Health & Human Services, Island Harvest, Lutheran Disaster Response, National Volunteer Organizations Active in Disasters, Points of Light Foundation, Presbyterian Disaster Assistance, Rebuilding Together, Southern Baptist Disaster Relief Fund, United Methodist Committee on Relief, United Way of Long Island, Visiting Nurse Service of New York and World Renew.

Sandy recovery efforts focus on the areas of housing assistance, case management, mental health services, volunteer coordination and food security.

Consumers Should Take Advantage Of Free Credit Reports (NAPSI)—The 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 TransUnion, 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.

The American Red Cross has awarded a $599,655 grant to the Health & Welfare Council of Long Island to support a disaster recovery center for nonprofits and volunteers who will help hundreds of homeowners affected by Superstorm Sandy repair their damaged homes.

The funding will be used to house 150 volunteers at the new Long Island Disaster Recovery Center on the New York Institute of Technology campus in Central Islip. Without the grant, these volunteers would not be able to access housing while they work to repair 600 Sandy-damaged homes throughout Nassau and Suffolk Counties over the year to come.

The funding will also be used to coordinate non-profit and volunteer efforts - such as mucking, gutting and debris removal - and operate the disaster recovery and housing facility. The center will serve as the command center for rebuildingrelated activities by Long Island long term recovery groups, and will include a kitchen, warehouse, office spaces and meeting rooms.

“Over the past year, the American Red Cross has repeatedly demonstrated its commitment to helping the most vulnerable on Long Island recover from the devastation of Superstorm Sandy,” said

The book ‘Murder on Long Island’ documents the infamous murders of Mr. and Mrs. James

Wickham of Cutchogue, Long Island. In 1854, James Wickham got into an argument with one of his workers, Nicholas Behan, after Behan harassed another employee who refused to marry him. Several days after Behan’s dismissal, he crept back into the house in the dead of night.

With an axe, he butchered Wickham and his wife, Frances, and fled to a nearby swamp. Behan was captured, tried, convicted and, on December 15th, 1854 became one of the last people to be hanged in Suffolk County.

College faculty and administrators will welcome visitors and offer detailed information about Suffolk’s more than 70 degree and 30 certificate programs and will be joined by

admissions staff to help students and parents navigate the admissions process and answer questions and financial aid representatives will provide details about the grants and loans process, as well as the many academic scholarships available at Suffolk.

Veterans should note that campus representatives will be available to provide educational and transitional services information.

The Open House program at each campus will be important for

“Suffolk County Community College has always been an exciting place to be,” said College President Dr. Shaun L. McKay, “and we are undergoing exciting changes, including the building or opening of new buildings on all three of our campuses.”

“Prospective Suffolk County Community College students and

those accepted will discover that making a personal visit to a campus is critical to the college decision making process,” said Joanne E. Braxton, Suffolk’s Dean of Enrollment Management.

“We look forward to having students and their families joining us to learn about our academic programs and student support services,” Braxton said, adding “they will also have the opportunity to tour the campus with student guides who will answer questions based upon

their experiences as active students. Attending open house and applying early is the best way to secure admission to Suffolk County Community College,” Braxton concluded.

Masks By: Sarah Bosworth, Lindenhurst

Hey there little girl, Why are you crying On a “sunny” day?

Where’s the mask that Should be covering your face?

The people dance and sing With their “glee,” And masks in place, While you walk with the people, Revealing what must be Hidden from judging eyes.

Look around you, And see the smiling faces All around you and me.

They too, Have despise and troubles, Just like you, But they still manage to Keep their masks on.

Their smiles turn to frowns

Hey there little girl, Your sadness is strong But it won’t last forever.

The fear and pain Will become numb someday.

Allowing you to put a Plaster smile on your face.

Your mask Of “happiness” Will fool Everyone around you, And give back what You accidently took From them.

“The Lone Cypress - Pebble Beach, CA” Photo by: Georganne Mangiamele

Then everything will Be almost normal again.

And that is why, Little girl, You must wear your mask Every minute of every day.

Hey there little girl, Come sit with me, And I will explain why You must keep the darkness inside.

Allow your heart to be Swallowed whole By the troubles you Feel that are your own.

When they see Your little tears run down Your face.

They begin to think That you are weak And start to feel pity For you.

They begin to look at you as prey.

Fundraising Breakfast

Neighbor Pet’s Place ADOPT A SHELTER PET TODAY!

SUFFOLK ZONE 6 - NEIGHBOR NEWSPAPERS - WEDNESDAY MARCH 19, 2014 • www.southbaysneighbor.com

LAST HOPE ANIMAL RESCUE 3300 Beltagh Avenue, Wantagh 631.425.1884

On February 26th, School-Business Partnerships of Long Island, Inc. (SBPLI), along with Farmingdale State College, presented its annual Fred Breithut Scholarship Breakfast Fundraiser at the college’s Campus Center.

The admission suggested a donation of $30 that went towards the scholarship, which was awarded to Adam Lopez, Farmingdale State College Freshman, and a graduate of Longwood High School.

At the event, guests enjoyed breakfast while listening to speakers, such as Joani Madarash, Executive Director, SBPLI; Dr. Hubert Keen, President of Farmingdale State College; Dr. Henry Sikorski, Chief Development Officer, Farmingdale State College; Dr. Lorraine Greenwald, Dean of International Education and Programs,

Farmingdale State College; and Gordon Canary, District Office Manager, New York State Senator Phil Boyle’s office. When Mr. Lopez approached the podium, he expressed his gratitude for the scholarship and explained his passion for engineering and business, which led him to double major in Mechanical Engineering Technology and Business.

The scholarship, which was created in 2009, in honor of Fred Breithut, Founder of SBPLI, is awarded to an incoming Farmingdale State College student who has participated in SBPLI’s FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) Robotics programs and meets the eligibility requirements for the scholarship. The student receives $1,000 for each semester he/ she attends the college

(maximum of eight semesters). Mr. Breithut sadly passed away in 2010, and it has become even more important for SBPLI to keep this scholarship intact due to his love and admiration for students. The scholarship truly represents what Mr. Breithut supported: to further the education of the youth on Long Island.

“We are thrilled to award this scholarship to Adam Lopez,” says Ms. Madarash.

“He has dedicated a great deal of his time to SBPLI programs and has learned so much. We are confident that he will succeed throughout his four-years at Farmingdale State College. Each year, we hope to change a student’s life with the Fred Breithut Scholarship.”

After the keynote, guests enjoyed more breakout sessions, an ice cream social, and a plenary session showing/ screening of the film The Genius of Marian.

The movie presented the filmmaker’s mother, Pam White, through her early stages of Alzheimer’s Disease.

The film’s producer, Banker White, appeared via Skype after the film to answer any questions that attendees might have had.

The presenting sponsors at the event were Winthrop Hospital and The Bristal Assisted Living.

Carry-On Made Easier (NAPSI)-Doing a little homework before you travel could save you time at the airport.

For instance, visiting www.TSA.gov, the Transportation Security Administration’s Web site, can help you learn what items can be packed in carry-on and which are best left in checked suitcases.

You can also learn size

requirements for toiletries that are allowed on planes and then find properly sized items in stores.

As a final tip, remember that all carry-on gels, liquids and aerosols need to be placed in a 1-quart, single zip-top, clear plastic bag. For more information and tips, visit www.shave. com.
