Browsing The Archives By: Jamie Lynn Ryan Last week marked another mini-milestone in my time here at South Bay’s Neighbor Newspapers, my 450th In Step column. I have to admit, I only realized this a few days ago while randomly perusing the archives, brainstorming for ideas, and I suppose it would stand to reason, seeing as I’m coming upon my 9th anniversary working here… but still, it seems like just yesterday that I tentatively submitted my first column for consideration, as a “trial run” of sorts. The rest, as they say, is history.

Fast forward to the present day, as I’m in the process of

putting together a presentation for my alma mater, discussing the path I took to achieve my career aspirations, the ten years that have elapsed since being in the comfortable confines of a classroom, and all that has transpired along the way. Not that I saw it as such a clear-cut path at the time, but I suppose we rarely do when we’re in the midst of the daily madness of responsibilities and obligations and all that fun stuff.

Ten years is a long time, and much has changed in the interim, to be sure; but just as much remains the same. It takes the benefit of perspective to take stock of where you’ve been, where you’re going and, perhaps most importantly,

where you’re at now. We tend to forget that part, so consumed are we by reminiscing over the good ole’ days and looking forward to the next stage.

It’s funny, too, when you look back, to realize that so much is pre-planned for us while still in school, such is the structure of the academic world. But once you graduate, it’s a whole new spectrum of possibilities. It just takes some planning and preparation to maximize that potential and avoid becoming complacent.

There’s no bell schedule to dictate our next move, no breakdown of semesters… just us, on our own, finding our way in the great beyond.

Here’s to the next milestone!

with botany and landscape design understand how to properly care for plants and trees on your property, while novice green thumbers may be unaware about when to prune trees and shrubs, at what height to cut the lawn and which plants will thrive in particular locations. Such do-it-yourself maintenance may even cost more money than leaving it to a professional.

Hiring a professional landscaper is, in many instances, more economical. For a certain weekly or monthly fee,

The desire to have a pristine, well-manicured landscape leads many homeowners to toil outdoors for hours every weekend. Hiring a professional landscaper can free up homeowners’ time and help them ensure their yards are cared for properly.

One of the benefits of hiring a landscaper is the time savings. Landscapers typically have commercialgrade equipment that can dramatically reduce the time it takes to mow and perform other maintenance tasks around your property.

Furthermore, some services have multiple employees working concurrently, enabling them to tackle several projects at the same time and complete them in a fraction of the time it would take a homeowner working on his or her own.

For months, I have been anxiously awaiting March 27th. This Thursday, known as “Ivy Day,” has historically been when top tier colleges release their admissions decisions.

As I am writing this, I am hours away from Ivy Day. Serving as the culmination of years of hard work, the final word from these prestigious institutions has been long awaited. If even one of the colleges that I have applied to admits me, I will have succeeded in my goal.

An acceptance would serve as positive affirmation that my hard work has not gone unnoticed. However, in the likely event that I am

inundated with rejections, I know that everything will work out the way that it is meant to. I am a firm believer in God’s plan.

After months of thinking, I have finally justified the idea that I do not need an Ivy League education to be successful.

Not everyone who attends a great school is happy in life. Education is just an ingredient in the recipe for success. Hard work and motivation also play major roles.

If everything works out the way I hope, I will be accepted. With that being said, a rejection is not condemnation. At this point, I know that I will end up where I need to

be. Everything is out of my hands, and I can only hope that the admissions officers have chosen to admit me.

My father once instilled in me a great mantra. He preached the idea that, “If you can handle it, don’t worry about it; and if you can’t handle it, don’t worry about it.” I know that there is nothing I can do this late in the game to sway a decision. There is no sense in fretting. I can only hope.

As I count down the minutes until Ivy Day, I will try not to think about the impending, life altering decision. Next week, I hope to share good news with you all!

SOUTH BAY’S NEIGHBOR NEWSPAPERS

Pruning trees and shrubs is necessary to ensure they maintain their health and vigor.

Trees and shrubs should be inspected annually to determine if they need to be pruned. Mature trees typically do not need to be pruned as frequently as young trees, which need pruning to establish branch structure. Trees and shrubs that go years without pruning can become overgrown and weak. In addition to promoting tree and shrub health, pruning pays a host of other dividends.

• Pruning removes dead or diseased branches. Pruning helps a tree or shrub maintain its shape and vigor by removing broken, dead or diseased branches that can be unsightly and make it more difficult for the tree or shrub to stay healthy. When broken, dead or diseased branches

are removed, trees or shrubs look healthier and add aesthetic appeal to a property.

• Pruning trees and shrubs promotes growth of other plants. Trees and shrubs that go years without being pruned become overgrown, making it difficult for plants underneath or adjacent to them to grow in healthy. For example, grass beneath an overgrown tree might not get adequate sunlight, which it needs to establish strong roots so it can grow in lush and healthy. Pruning allows plants beneath the tree and shrub and even those next to the tree and shrub to grow in nicely.

• Pruning can sometimes bring plants back to life. Shrubs that have gone years without being pruned can sometimes still be salvaged. In some

cause property damage during storms. Pruning overgrown trees reduces the risk of such accidents.

• Pruning can save money.

Over time, overgrown trees might require professional assistance in order to be removed or pruned from a property. Homeowners who prune their trees as needed can save themselves the cost of

a potentially pricey tree service.

• Pruning adds curb appeal.

A property littered with overgrown trees and shrubs hurts a home’s curb appeal, giving prospective buyers the impression that homeowners might have been careless with regard to maintaining the whole house and not just the lawn. But trees and

shrubs that are pruned and well-maintained can add to a home’s curb appeal, something that goes a long way toward impressing prospective buyers.

Tree & Shrub Maintenance

Spring has sprung, and there are many activities to enjoy now that the warmer weather has arrived. Many homeowners make the most of warmer weather by tackling projects around their properties.

While autumn is a better time to overseed a lawn for new growth, satisfactory results still can be had if seeding is done early enough in the spring. Grass needs ample time to establish roots and grow strong before the summer heat takes its toll.

Many types of grass need six to 12 weeks of ideal temperatures and growing conditions to germinate and produce a sturdy grass that will grow and endure.

Seeding can be done to rejuvenate an existing lawn and fill in bare spots.

It also can be done to start a lawn from scratch. The following are some tips to help make seeding projects more successful.

• Begin by raking the lawn to remove thatch and any fallen leaves leftover from autumn and winter.

Raking also enables you to inspect the lawn for bare patches or matting of grass that may be indicative of a fungus or other problem.

• Dust off the mower and trim the lawn short, especially if it was left long at the end of last season. This will help seed penetrate the blades of grass and get to the soil beneath.

• High-traffic lawns may need aeration to counteract compacted soil. Moss on the ground is often an indication of compaction. Aeration will help with this problem, as it pokes holes into the soil to enable oxygenation that keeps new grass robust and promotes faster growth.

Lawn aerators can be rented from many garden centers.

• Spread a mixture of

topsoil and compost over the top of the lawn. This will add nutrients through organic matter to the lawn and create a good base for the new seed to take root.

It will also help strengthen any existing grass and promote long-term health.

• Test a sample of the soil to check the pH. Grass prefers a neutral pH, but some soil tends to lean toward the acidic side, especially if you see the presence of moss. Knowing the pH will help determine just how much lime per square foot you will need to adjust it accordingly.

Liming is a corrective measure and does not need to be used on a healthy, thriving lawn.

• Invest in a spreader to add seed to the lawn. The spreader will have various settings that enable you to calibrate the rate of seed dispersion depending on your walking speed. Fill the spreader with seed

and begin to walk around the lawn. Drop spreaders require you to apply seed in rows with no overlap.

Broadcast spreaders will cast seed widely and may need some overlap to guarantee complete coverage.

• Spread another thin layer of compost mix over the seed and water thoroughly. The compost will help keep moisture in while the seeds germinate.

• Aim for lawn watering two to three times per day.

The seed should be barely dry between watering. After seeds have germinated and established, you can reduce the frequency of watering but increase the depth of the watering to keep roots strong.

• Avoid foot traffic on a newly seeded lawn until the grass is well established.

Outdoor Storage

When people think of outdoor storage, they generally envision garden sheds to house their lawn and garden equipment and tools. However, if space doesn’t allow for a large shed, there is no need to fret because there are other storage possibilities.

Consider a garden ottoman or bench, for example. This structure can be built from wood and then painted or covered in padded fabric. Store small items inside the ottoman, which can also serve as a table or additional seating.

In addition to an ottoman, a garden tool that can keep shovels and rakes organized. Homeowners with a deck can construct lidded deck boxes to store patio cushions or any other outdoor equipment.

Utilizing the space under the deck is another idea.

Cover the perimeter of the bottom of the deck with lattice and install one piece on a hinge to serve as a door. Store equipment underneath and out of sight. It also will be protected from the elements.

As winter slowly winds down, many gardeners cannot wait to soak up the springtime sun and get their hands dirty in the garden. Such excitement is not just good for gardeners, but can benefit the garden in the months to come as well.

Late winter or early spring is a great time to get a head start on the gardening season. Even if gardening season is still around the corner, completing the following projects can ensure your garden gets off on the right foot.

Clear Debris One of the best things you can do for your garden as winter winds down is to clear it of debris. Winter can be especially harsh on a landscape, and gardens left to the elements are often filled with debris once spring arrives. Dead leaves, fallen branches, rocks that surfaced during the winter frost, and even garbage that might have blown about in winter winds can all pile up in a garden over a typical winter. Clearing such debris likely won’t

take long, but it’s a great first step toward restoring the garden before the time comes to plant and grow the garden once again.

Examine The Soil Soil plays a significant role in whether a garden thrives or struggles.

Examining the soil before the season starts can help gardeners address any issues before they plant. Ignoring the soil until a problem arises can turn the upcoming gardening season into a lost opportunity, so test the soil to determine if it has any nutrient or mineral deficiencies. This may require the help of a professional, but if a problem arises, you might be able to adjust the acidity or alkalinity of the soil and still enjoy a successful gardening season.

Another way to examine the soil is less complex but can shed light on when would be a good time to get back to work. Reach into the soil and dig out a handful. If the soil quickly crumbles, you can start preparing for gardening seasoning. But if the soil

A patch of dead grass on an otherwise lush lawn can be a frustrating eyesore for homeowners.

Whether lawn care is your passion or just something you do to maintain the value of your home, dead grass can be exasperating.

But as unsightly as dead grass can be, addressing it and restoring the dead patches can be somewhat simple. Before you can restore grass, however, you must first identify the source of the problem.

Grass often dies because of urine damage, which is typically characterized by a dead spot surrounded by otherwise green grass. Grub infestation might be at fault when dead grass appears, and such an infestation often produces patches of light brown grass that are scattered throughout the lawn. It’s also possible that dead grass is a result of human error. If your lawn was overfertilized, then patches of graygreen grass may appear.

Fungal disease is another common culprit behind dead grass, and such disease can manifest itself in different ways. Once you have identified why the grass is dead, which may require the help of a professional, then you can begin to treat your lawn.

Urine Damage Urine damage is often

limited to a particular area of the grass where your family pet routinely relieves itself. Once a particular patch of grass has worn down, the pet may move on to another spot. But if you quickly notice a dead spot due to urine damage, you can train the animal to urinate elsewhere, limiting the damage it causes. When repairing the grass, dig a hole that’s roughly four inches deep and fill it with fresh soil until it’s level with the soil surrounding the dead patch. Then you can sprinkle seed on top of the freshly laid soil and water the spot.

Grass should grow in and stay green so long as you prevent further urine damage.

Insect Damage Addressing dead spots caused by insect damage can be a little more complicated, and some homeowners may prefer to hire a professional.

If you want to handle the problem on your own, apply pesticide to the affected areas so the insects behind the problem are killed. Once the insects are no more, cut the grass, raking the affected area to remove the dead grass and any additional debris. Scatter grass seed over the affected areas and then apply an appropriate fertilizer

and water immediately.

Professionals may know just the right fertilizer for your lawn, so even if you want to go it alone, visit a local lawn care center to ask for advice about addressing your particular problem.

Fertilizer Damage Fertilizer damage can also prove difficult to address, as applying fresh seeds too soon can kill any freshly growing seedlings. So grass that has been damaged by overfertilization must first be allowed to fully die.

Once that has happened, the grass can be cut and any remaining debris or dead grass can be removed. Seed can then be scattered, and you can even add some additional soil before laying down an appropriate amount of fertilizer and watering the lawn immediately. If you don’t trust yourself to use fertilizer correctly, then hire a professional to do the job for you. This will cost a little more, but you likely won’t wake up to more dead patches of grass down the road.

Dead grass can be unsightly and turn an otherwise lush lawn into a patchy eyesore. But addressing dead grass can be easy and can quickly restore a lawn to its green grandeur.

is still clumped together, it needs more time to dry out before you can begin your prep work.

Initiate Edging Edging is another task gardeners can begin as they get ready for the season. Edge plant and flower beds, but be sure to use a spade with a flat blade or an edger designed to edge flower beds. Such tools will cut deep enough so grass roots that may eventually grow into the flower bed are severed.

Depending on how large a garden is, edging can be a time-consuming task, so getting a head start allows homeowners to spend more time planting and tending to their gardens once the season hits full swing.

Fight Weeds Though weeds likely have not survived the winter, that does not mean they won’t return once the weather starts to heat up. But as inevitable as weeds may seem, homeowners can take steps to prevent them from turning beautiful gardens into battlegrounds where plants, flowers and vegetables are pitted against unsightly and potentially harmful weeds.

Spring is a good time to apply a pre-emergent weed preventer, which can stop weeds before they grow.

Though such solutions are not always foolproof, they can drastically reduce the likelihood of weed growth.

Though gardeners might not be able to start planting their gardens in late winter or early spring, they can still get outside and take steps to ensure their gardens thrive once planting season begins.

Benefits Of Hiring A Landscaper Continued From 5 and summer vacation season, it’s easy for homeowners to overlook their lawn and garden in favor of recreation

and leisure activities.

Without proper watering and maintenance, lawns and gardens can brown or overgrowth can occur. But hiring a landscaping service

allows homeowners to rest assured that their yards will be maintained whether they’re home or not.

Hiring a local landscaping service

will not only benefit homeowners, but also it will benefit the local economy. Residents can feel comfortable knowing their lawn service will be available for calls when

needed and will be familiar with the community.

Also, local contractors may go the extra mile to earn your business recommendation.

Hiring a landscaping

service can be advantageous to homeowners who want to free up time and still enjoy a well-maintained landscape.

Pink Your Pooch!

A “Pink Your Pooch” dog costume contest and family friendly events highlight this year’s Families Walk For Hope on Saturday, May 3rd, at John T. Mather Memorial Hospital. The annual five-mile walk through Port Jefferson and Belle Terre raises funds for the Fortunato Breast Health Center.

Hundreds of breast cancer survivors and their supporters take part each year in the Walk, which steps off at 9 am from the hospital’s upper parking lot on Belle Terre Road.

Sign up as an individual or form a team with family, friends, co-workers or schoolmates. Those who can’t take part in the Walk can support those who do by donating funds to an individual or team.

This year’s new “Pink

Your Pooch” pet costume contest will award prizes to “Best Dressed Owner & Pet” and “Prettiest In Pink.” Photos will be posted on Mather Hospital’s Facebook page for a community vote. Also new this year are family fun activities including face painting, temporary tattoos and balloon sculpting. All registered walkers the day of the event will receive a Tanger Outlet coupon book.

The Fortunato Breast Health Center provides state-of-theart breast healthcare in surroundings that offer a sense of comfort, privacy and the assurance that each patient’s individual needs will be met. Trained healthcare professionals offer mammograms and physical examinations,

expert follow-up care, education for patients, families and the community, and breast cancer support groups.

The Center is one of only four on Long island to have earned a prestigious threeyear, full accreditation designation by the National Accreditation Program for Breast Centers (NAPBC), given only to those centers that have voluntarily committed to providing the highest level of quality breast care and that undergo a rigorous review of their performance.

Register at www. matherhospital.org/walk or call 631.476.2723 for more information. Sign up before April 15th and take advantage of the $20 early bird registration fee.

Registration at the Walk begins at 8 a.m.

Members of the Port Jefferson School District attended the 13th Annual School District Awards Dinner hosted by SCOPE Education Services, a not-for-profit, private organization permanently chartered by the New York State Board of Regents to provide services to school districts. More than 900 people representing 37 districts attended the March 24 event.

Throughout the evening, service awards were presented in the areas of school board, community, support staff, teacher and administrator service recognizing individuals for their contributions to education. The Port Jefferson honorees included Port Jefferson Middle School English teacher Deirdre Filippi for teacher service, Port Jefferson Executive

Director of Curriculum and Instruction Maureen Hull for administrative service and Earl L. Vandermeulen High School main office secretary Kathy Archacki for support staff service.

Members of the administration, Board of Education and teaching staff, as well as the spouses of the honorees, represented the district.

Opening Eyes & Hearts The Earl L. Vandermeulen High School Leo Club, led by teachers Brian Chalmers and Kristine Vaccaro, and the Port Jefferson Middle School Student Council, led by Allison Giannusa, welcomed Island Harvest coordinator Doreen Principe and former New York Jets center John Schmitt for a presentation about hunger on Long Island.

In the fall of 2013, the two student groups organized a food drive for

participation in Island Harvest’s “Students Feeding Students” challenge. The initiative works to lessen the hunger of students, enabling them to concentrate better on their schoolwork. The Port Jefferson team, who competed against schools islandwide, placed first overall by raising close to 4,000 pounds of food.

“The feedback from the teachers of students who received our food was overwhelming and inspiring,” said Vaccaro. “It

was great to have Doreen and John commend the students and convey to them just how much of a positive impact their efforts had on those in need. The students were also given a certificate and trophy to commemorate their success.”

Most recently, the Leo Club raised more than 60 pairs of eyeglasses and sunglasses to donate to the charitable organization One Sight.

Putting The Pieces Together

The Port Jefferson School District congratulates Port Jefferson Middle School teacher Michelle Landetta for her recent recognition

by Autism Speaks, a national autism advocacy organization dedicated to funding research and raising public awareness about autism and its effects on individuals, families and society.

Michelle, who is also the school’s National Junior Honor Society adviser, was honored for her work with the group in fundraising and promoting awareness.

The honor society dedicated their lunchtime to selling Autism Speaks puzzle pieces and bracelets to benefit the organization and its mission.

On her certificate of

recognition from Autism Speaks, Michelle was acknowledged for her support of the organization and its mission to find the causes, effective treatment and cure of autism spectrum disorders; for raising public awareness about autism; and for bringing hope to all who deal with the hardships of the disorder.

to prepare dinner for the group during the monthly meetings. The program was initiated by Barbara Egloff, who has spearheaded educational reforms at the Suffolk County Correctional Facility during the last two years.

“This is a unique program which brings together parents of incarcerated young people, many of whom have drug addictions, with officers in our jail and members of the non-profit and treatment community, to help guide them as they bring their children back home.

When a young person spends time in jail for committing crimes in the community, we do our best to rehabilitate them while we have their attention, but we realize that families need support as well,” stated DeMarco.

Sheriff DeMarco launched the Youth Tier Initiative at the county

jail in September 2011 to provide intensive mentoring, educational service and life skills to incarcerated youth between the ages of 1619.

The program has graduated 115 participants since its inception, and it has proven to reduce recidivism among the youth participating. As of March, recidivism has dropped to less than 10% for youth who went through the program during their period of incarceration.

“The Youth Tier Initiative, combined with innovative court-based programs, has made a tremendous impact on our jail population. In 2011, the jail had an average of 80-100 incarcerated 16-19 year olds on any given day.

Today, we have less than thirty on any given day.

Eastern Suffolk BOCES is a big part of our success,” added DeMarco.

Suffolk County Sheriff Vincent F. DeMarco is pleased to announce that permanent medication drop boxes have been set up in the main lobbies of the Riverhead Correctional Facility’s Administration Building as well as in the Sheriff’s Yaphank Civil Bureau.

The general public can deposit unused medications into the bins from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. from Monday through Friday. For more information, call 631.852.3436 or visit the Sheriff’s Office website at www.suffolksheriff.com.

“It’s important that residents dispose of unused medications in a safe manner.

They should never be flushed down the toilet because they eventually seep into our drinking water. If you can’t make it to Riverhead or Yaphank, stop by one of our “Shed the Meds” events, which are sponsored in conjunction with local officials and organizations throughout Suffolk County,” stated DeMarco.

Deputy Sheriffs will be collecting unused medication and covered hypodermic needles at the following locations: • April 2nd at the N. Babylon Library, located at 815 Deer

Blimpie Anniversary Celebration Fifty years ago, three high school friends in Hoboken, N.J., set out to create the greatest sub sandwich on the planet.

They called it a Blimpie as they thought their newly created sub sandwich resembled a blimp. A half century later, that sub has become beloved by millions and the brand has grown to hundreds of locations around the globe.

To celebrate Blimpie’s

50th birthday on April 4th, stores nationwide will be selling their regular-sized Blimpie Best® sub for just 50 cents that day to the first 200 customers in each location; the price point symbolizing 50 years of amazing subs.

“We’re thrilled to celebrate our 50th birthday with America and want everyone to enjoy a 50 cent Blimpie Best sub as our thank you

to our loyal customers who helped us grow this sub chain,” said Steve Evans, VP of marketing for Blimpie. “So many of our customers grew up with Blimpie and now their children love us too.

It’s a brand that serves an amazing product, which allows us to both be timeless and evolve and grow with our guests.”

While April 4th will offer 50 cent regularsized Blimpie Best subs

to the first 200 customers that enter each store, the brand will be celebrating this milestone all year long. From May 5 through June 29, Blimpie will offer a contest that will send one lucky winner and a guest on a trip to the 50th state (Hawaii) along with other great prizes including free tablets, free subs for a year and $50 Blimpie gift cards. (See contest official rules.) Later in

the year, Blimpie plans to launch the Hoboken Hoagie, a new sub that will be introduced to guests as a way to pay homage to the birthplace of the Blimpie sub and brand.

It’s a year of excitement and anticipation as stores celebrate 50 years of selling craveable subs and being America’s Sub Shop®. With the Blimpie Best being the brand’s best-selling sub

and being made of slowcured ham, prosciuttini, cappacola, salami and provolone and dressed The Blimpie Way with tomatoes, lettuce, onion, oil, vinegar and oregano all on a sub roll; April 4th will be a great day as customers join us in the stores for this fabulous sub and celebration.
