with Jamie Lynn Ryan And just like that, spring has arrived, with its bursts of warm sunshine coaxing the flower blossoms from beneath the winter-hardened soil. The Easter Bunny has already come and gone, and plans are well underway for summer vacations and the tantalizing temptation of beach season.

Seems we were only just beginning to put together our Christmas shopping lists not so long ago, doesn’t it?

It’s funny, how this concept of time seems to work its way into nearly every conversation in one respect or another the lack of it, its tendency to pass by too quickly… seldom have I heard the argument that there is simply too much time to know what to do with.

Never, in fact. Seems this would be a rather enviable problem to have. But alas, this is most certainly not the case.

As with most of life’s

struggles, it is how we choose to deal with, and hopefully, to overcome these issues that is the most important.

Redirecting our focus constantly, from wallowing in the negativity of why did this happen? to being proactive in setting a plan for what would I like to happen? going forward.

No use dwelling on the past; we need to be present in order to look to the future with anything resembling a clear perspective.

They say hindsight is 20/20; but is it truly? I would argue that, even upon reflecting on past events, I do not have an unequivocal assessment of how things might have turned out differently; or even, if they should have. No, I am a firm believer that all things happen for a reason, even if that reason is not immediately - or ever - apparent. Some things are simply not meant to be

understood beyond a shadow of a doubt. Life is nothing if not filled with unexpected twists and turns, and a touch of the unknown.

I recently came across a quote which said, in part, that it is not truly the unknown which we fear; but rather, what we think we know of the unknown. What an interesting concept, this notion that most of our apprehensions are selfmade and, if we would only take care to take a step back and let things play out a bit, perhaps we would be pleasantly surprised as to the outcome.

Spring is traditionally seen as a time of growth and progress, naturally and otherwise. The seeds must be planted and cultivated, in hopes of a fruitful season.

Whether things blossom as we wish, well, that remains to be seen. As with most things, only time will tell.

April Charity of the Month:

Friends of Karen

Friends of Karen is a nonprofit organization that supports critically-ill children and their families.

This year, they are celebrating their 40th anniversary; four decades of bringing help, hope and support to over 15,000 children and their families in the tri-state area. I had the pleasure of meeting with some of their staff members to grasp a better understanding of all they have done and all they continue to do for those in need.

In 1978, Friends of Karen began with one family, one child, Karen MacInnes; and one inspired woman, Sheila Petersen, who wanted to sustain her close friends through the devastating illness of their daughter. Today, Friends of Karen serves hundreds of families by providing emotional, financial and advocacy support to children with life-threatening illnesses, and to their families in order to help keep them stable, functioning and able to cope, at no cost.

To apply for help, a parent or guardian of the ill child must call the organization and speak to a member of their Family Support Team. It is apparent to me that Friends of Karen wants whomever is going through a tough and unimaginable critical illness to know that they are not alone and that help is available for them.

Friends of Karen often hosts or participates in many events within their community. On Saturday, May 5th and Sunday, May 6th, they are hosting a team in the Long Island Marathon at

Eisenhower Park in East Meadow.

Saturday will be a 5K and Sunday will be a 10K. They are looking for people to join their Friends of Karen team and to cross the finish line knowing they’re making a difference in the lives of many. If you are interested in participating in either or both of these races with colleagues, as a family or individually, you can sign up today! Additionally, if you are interested in volunteering your time preparing for the event - handing out t-shirts, making sure every participant has what he or she needs, etc.; or at the event - taking photos for promotional purposes, you can do so. Please visit their website at www.FriendsOfKaren.org for additional information.

Are you someone who prefers to donate? If yes, you can do so by donating a gift card today. Many families struggle to find the money for everyday essentials such as food when they are also responsible for paying such large medical bills; therefore, food store and restaurant gift cards are much appreciated so Friends of Karen can pass them along to a family in need.

Lastly, if you would like to get involved with Friends of Karen through another avenue that is not listed, such as volunteering in their office or in a specific way that is dear to you, they would like to know!

Please contact their Development Associate, Rebecca Mowl, at RMowl@ FriendsOfKaren.org for more information.

within the Miller Place School District, both as an accomplished athlete and as an engaged community member, and we are honored to support him as he pursues this wonderful opportunity,” said Miller Place School District Superintendent Dr. Marianne Cartisano.

“The District offers a wide variety of rigorous academic and athletic opportunities, and we are proud of our studentathletes’ many successes both on and off the field.

We are proud to have Joe represent the Miller Place School District as he competes on the international stage, and we wish him the highest level of success.”

In order to qualify for the roster, Head Coach of the USA team, Jim Barnes, selected players based on evaluations of their

highlight films. Players need to have been a starter for his high school team on offense, defense or as a specialist, and have a history clear of disciplinary measures. Prior to playing against the Italian team, AFW players will also participate in educational tours of Rome, Vatican City, Tuscany, Siena, Florence, Cinque Terra, Lake Como and Milan.

“This was an opportunity that I couldn’t pass up.

How many players will ever get the chance to play American football in another country?” said Panico. “I’m most looking forward to bonding with new teammates from all over the country in such a short amount of time, playing for my country, and getting to see what the skill level is of the Italian team.”

The Miller Place School District offers a robust athletic program

www.eteamz.com/CentralSuffolkChallengerll This organization gives individuals with disabilities (ages 4-adult) the opportunity to enjoy the full benefits of Little League participation in an athletic environment structured to their abilities. They place emphasis on commitment, hard work, sportsmanship and teamwork as their program’s core values, as well as principle building blocks for life.

They are currently looking for sponsors, coaches, team parents and buddies to help make this program a success! Please contact Roger Smith at 347.446.6168 or at sacchallengerb@optonline.net for more information.

(NAPSI)—Allergies are nothing to sneeze at but you can make your home more comfortable for people who have allergies and improve your indoor air quality—by cleaning in an often forgotten place.

Indoor air quality can be a big concern for many families. After all, in a typical six-room home, up to 40 pounds of dust— including dangerous chemicals and other pollutants—is created annually through everyday living. These contaminants are pulled into the HVAC system and recirculated as much as seven times a day. Over time, this leads to built-up contaminants in the ductwork. Since your heating and cooling system is the lungs of your home, you want to keep it clear.

Savor these beautiful (and edible) flowers C ultivating beautiful blooms is a popular pastime for gardeners near and far. While gazing at a yard full of vibrant colors or enjoying the aroma of freshly cut blooms is enough for many gardeners, others may want to embrace a long-enduring tradition — growing edible flowers.

Cooking with edible flowers is a trend that has endured for centuries. According to Fleurs Gourmandes, the first recorded history of edible flowers occurred in 140 BC. Use of calendula in salads dates back to the ancient Greeks and Romans.

Victorian-era candied flowers and flowerencrusted sweets took edible flowers to new heights. Today, nothing may make a meal seem more gourmet than the inclusion of flower petals in the recipe.

Of course, before delving into the expanded world of cooking using edible blooms, some notes of caution should first be mentioned. Avoid flowers that may have been sprayed with fungicides, herbicides or insecticides. To verify safety, only use edible flowers grown specifically for this purpose, not flowers picked from

roadsides or from landscapes. Secondly, remember that not all flowers are edible.

Some can be poisonous or cause severe gastrointestinal upset when consumed.

That means all flowers should be carefully researched prior to experimenting with them in the kitchen.

To begin growing — and eating — edible flowers, refer to this list of varieties deemed safe and be careful to double-check against allergies and any interactions with medications prior to use.

Allium: These are blossoms from the allium family, which include garlic, chives and leeks. These flowers can be used to add flavor to foods.

Marigolds are just one of the many flowers that can be consumed.

marigold family can taste like saffron when it’s sautéed.

Uncooked, calendula can have spicy notes that add variety to salads and garnishes.

Marigolds: These tiny flowers may be used in vegetable gardens to repel animal and insect pests. Blossoms have a fresh citrus taste that can be used in cooking.

Chamomile: This plant features small, daisy-type flowers that can be used in treats and teas.

Cilantro: The flowers from the cilantro plant can be eaten, just as the leaves and the seeds that form the spice coriander.

Basil Blossoms: It may be customary to pinch off the blossoms of basil, which come in colors from white to lavender in order to stimulate growth of the leaves of the plant. However, the blossoms, which are more mild than the leaves, can be tasty as well.

Fennel: Just like the plant itself, the flowers of fennel have a subtle licorice flavor.

Calendula: Sometimes known as “poor man’s saffron,” this yellow flower in the

Lavender: The sweet, perfumed taste of lavender works in cocktails and desserts.

Hibiscus: Hibiscus blooms are famously used in hibiscus tea, which is tart and cranberry-like.

Pansies: These vibrant early bloomers can take on a wintergreen flavor and look beautiful when glazed on cakes and other desserts.

Roses: Beautiful to behold, rose petals can lend a subtle, fruity flavor to many different foods as well.

Zucchini: The blossoms from this squash, which have a slightly sweet taste, can be enjoyed in many different ways.

Some people batter and fry the blossoms, while others may stuff them with herbs and cheeses.

Create a teenfriendly space at home Know who to call when you smell gas.

Parents who want to keep teens nearby can create hangout spaces at home that make it easy for teens to feel comfortable with their friends. These “teen caves” can be private but permit supervision when necessary. With a few modifications, it’s possible to transform a room in a home into a teen-friendly hangout space.

Have a snack station. Some teenagers always seem to be hungry, and hanging out with friends while enjoying food is a popular pastime. When renovating a room into a teen cave, find a way to make food a focus. Install a mini-refrigerator and nonalcoholic bar where kids can serve snacks to friends. Think about a space you would like as an adult and modify it to be more accommodating to teenagers.

If you smell gas, call our hotline at 800-490-0045 or 911.

WHEN YOU CAN MOVE ON UP?

Add more seating. Having friends over means having enough seating to handle a small crowd. Beanbags, cushioned benches, a daybed, modular seating and more can ensure everyone has a place to sit.

Make a private outdoor spot. Teen spaces do not need to be restricted to the indoors. Design advice site Houzz says an outdoor escape zone that includes comfortable seating in a private area — particularly a spot that can also be enjoyed into the evening — will be a coveted spot.

Talk to your children. Involve teens in the process of renovating a home to create a spot in which they would like to congregate. Talk about elements they would like to see in the space, whether it be a particular design style, technology or activity.

Invest in “indestructible” materials.

Teenagers are bound to make messes, and having other people over means contending with a certain measure of damage. Design the space with indooroutdoor carpeting, water-resistant fabrics, distressed wood and other durable materials.

Establish a shared budget. Paint is inexpensive and can transform just about any room in a single afternoon. If the room being renovated is the teen’s own bedroom, allow him or her to choose the color palette and other accents. Even if it

Having teens close by and interacting with them on a regular basis can benefit families. Data from the National Center for Education Statistics notes that parental involvement correlates to higher grade point averages. Research from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration says certain parenting styles, including those that set rules and monitor teens in supportive ways, develop kids who are more likely to wear seat belts while driving, while such support also lowers crash risk. Involved parents also may reduce the chances of teen drug use and promiscuous behavior.

Personal touches turn a house into a home. Hanging pictures, whether they’re personal photographs or artwork, can really change the character of a room.

Unfortunately, some people may not know the proper ways to display pictures on a wall. Design maven Martha Stewart advises that the first step is to gather all of the pictures that are in consideration for hanging. This will enable a person to see what is available and edit their selection based on the space available, theme or color scheme. Having the artwork there enables a person to move it around like a puzzle until the placement feels just right.

Next, plan on hanging artwork at 57 inches on center, according to the renovation experts at Apartment Therapy. “On center” means the middle of the photograph or painting will always be at 57,” as this measurement represents the average human eye height. This height is regularly used as a standard in many galleries and museums.

SUFFOLK ZONE 6 - NEIGHBOR NEWSPAPERS - WEDNESDAY APRIL 4, 2018 • www.southbaysneighbor.com

When the goal is to hang multiple pictures, treat the entire grouping as

a single unit. This means creating the layout and finding the center of the middle piece of the grouping.

To make picture grouping easier, use paper templates with arrows to indicate whether the artwork will be hung horizontally or vertically. These templates can then be easily taped to the wall and rearranged until the grouping is ideal.

There are no hard and fast rules concerning frames, meaning they do not all have to match. But placing framed artwork side by side can give a person a feel for whether the images and the frames work together in the space.

Some people like to use frames of similar colors and sizes. Others want the eclectic mix-and-match appeal. It’s ultimately up to the homeowner.

Measuring is key to hanging a picture correctly on the wall. Take into consideration the type of attachment, whether it’s D-rings, sawtooth hangers, wire or other fasteners on the back.

Measure from the top of the frame to the hanger. Measure the wall to achieve

the 57” on center location, and then calculate where this falls within the height of the artwork and frame top.

Adjust accordingly and mark. Then measure the distance from the frame top to the hanger location on the wall.

Be sure to take the weight of the picture into consideration when selecting hanging hardware. Wall anchors may be needed if measurements determine a wall stud will not help secure the artwork — to keep the frame sturdy in the drywall. Home improvement resource Today’s Homeowner also suggests using self-adhesive rubber bumpers to the bottom corners on the back of the frame before hanging so that the picture will not damage the wall and will help it hang level.

It can take a few attempts to hang pictures correctly, but with practice it should come with greater ease. The good news is there are new products constantly being evolved to make picture hanging easier, including those that enable removal and relocation of artwork without damaging walls.

Traveling Back in Time Through their generous sponsorship, Teachers Federal Credit Union recently enabled Nassakeag Elementary’s 4th grade students to travel back in time to Ward Melville Heritage Organization’s (WMHO) Brewster House, c. 1665, using their state of the art distance learning technology.

Along with WMHO educators, teachers Mrs.

Jo-Ann Hudecek, Ms. Robbin Teitelbaum, Ashley Donato, Kathryn Comisky and Jennifer Betz enabled their students to experience a virtual reader’s theater performance about the Culper Spy Ring, “Windows Through Time: Journals of American Revolutionary War Spies.”

Music Scholarship

Port Jefferson Middle School student Hugo Onghai has received a scholarship for study at the Young Artist Program at SUNY Stony Brook.

The eighth-grader was nominated by his orchestra teacher, Christian Neubert, and was selected for a $500

Suffolk County Music Educators’ Association Joseph R. Herbison Summer Scholarship.

Hugo, a cellist in the school’s 7/8 orchestra as well as a pianist, will have the opportunity to broaden his musical horizons by working with other

talented young musicians under the guidance of faculty members at Stony Brook University.

He was presented with the award at the start of the recent SCMEA Division II concert, for which he was accompanied by Dr. Michael Caravello, director of music and fine arts for the Port Jefferson School District.

“This is a unique opportunity to further understand the foundations of music theory and music literacy,” Caravello said.

“We congratulate Hugo on this honor.”

Scouts Honored On March 24th, Councilwoman Jane Bonner attended the Court of Honor ceremony for Peter Martin and Thomas Barry, Jr. from Boy Scout Troop 204 in Miller Place.

Thomas, from Miller Place, completed his Eagle Scout project at the Mount Sinai Nature Center at Cedar Beach, where he built a wooden structure to provide shade over an outdoor touch tank used to

house local sea life. Peter, from Rocky Point, repaired and refurbished two Miller Place welcome signs. He paid for the project by hosting a fundraiser at Port Jeff Bowl.

“Eagle Scouts are the leaders of tomorrow, and from what I can tell about these outstanding young men, our future will be in good hands,” said Councilwoman Bonner.

“The work that they do sets

a great example for their peers to follow and I thank them for their service to our community.”

To become an Eagle Scout, the highest rank in the Boy Scouts of America, a scout must earn a minimum of 21 merit badges, demonstrate leadership, and perform an approved community service project.

LEADERSHIP DAY - On March 27th, Councilwoman Jane Bonner (pictured in top photo) visited Ridge Elementary School to participate in the second annual Leadership Day. At the event, the Councilwoman talked to the children about her role in Town government and the importance of community service. Leadership Day gives students the chance to meet with school, government and community leaders while they demonstrate their own leadership abilities.

Learning from the Experts As an extension of their classroom lessons, 90 members of the P.J. Gelinas Junior High School chorus, band and orchestra embarked on a journey to New York City to attend a Broadway master class with Joel Hatch, the lead performer in “Come From Away,” and Jeff Theiss,

assistant musical director for the current Broadway production of “The Band Visit.”

During the workshop, the students were fully engaged in a question and answer session with two prominent members of the Broadway community. Many aspects

of theater were discussed from the perspective of a performer and a pit orchestra member.

Following the workshop, the students had lunch at Hard Rock Cafe and attended a performance of Come From Away on Broadway.

Researcher Earns Awards

SUFFOLK ZONE 6 - NEIGHBOR NEWSPAPERS - WEDNESDAY APRIL 4, 2018 • www.southbaysneighbor.com

Rocky Point High School senior Kyle Markland has amassed a number of accolades in the field of science research during his academic journey in the Rocky Point School District and this winter he added three more titles to his already impressive resume.

Kyle was named a winner at the regional level of the Junior Science and Humanities Symposium, one of 14 winners of the New York State Science and Engineering Fair as well as received the Intel Award for Excellence in Computer Science at the Long Island Science and Engineering Fair. As a regional level winner, Kyle will advance to the

national competition in Hunt Valley, Maryland from May 2nd-May 5th and, as a state winner, will now advance to the International Science and Engineering Fair, held in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania in late May. Along with receiving the Intel Award, Kyle was presented with a $200 scholarship.

Kyle’s project, “A Novel Kalman Filter Latent State Estimator for GPS/ INS Reference Point Acquisition,” was to design and test software to improve the accuracy of GPS units, like those used in cars. Kyle wrote a software program that was designed to help factor out uncertain measurements using a Kalman filter

(software built into the program). He focused primarily on getting a more accurate initial reference point for the GPS. He tested the program using a robotic system that he designed and built, and found that he could obtain a more accurate initial reference point using the Kalman filter.

“Obtaining accurate, real-time position information is essential to realizing autonomous vehicle technology in everyday life,” said Kyle.

“GPS currently does not meet the accuracy needs of autonomous vehicles, as its accuracy diminishes in urban environments. An inertial navigation system (INS) can provide more accurate position than GPS and is not adversely affected by environmental conditions. The objective of this engineering project was to create a software program that incorporated a Kalman filter that processed GPS measurements to create an accurate GPS reference point for an INS.” Photo courtesy of: Rocky Point School District

Technology Transports Nassakeag Elementary School fourth-grade students recently traveled back in time to learn about their local history through a program sponsored by the Teachers Federal Credit Union in collaboration

with The Ward Melville Heritage Organization.

Using distance learning technology, the students were transported to the WMHO’ Brewster House, c. 1665, to experience a reader’s theater

performance about the Culper Spy Ring, “Windows Through Time: Journals of American Revolutionary War Spies” guided by WMHO’s educators.

Shining Above the Rest Five individuals from the Port Jefferson School District community were honored with Educational Service Awards at the 17th annual SCOPE School District Awards Dinner.

With the theme “Shining above the rest,” the recipients were honored in categories that recognized their leadership, fiscal responsibility, dedication

and countless hours of service in improving the educational experiences of all Port Jefferson School District students.

The recipients who were honored are Dr. Mark Doyle, Port Jefferson School District Board of Education member for School Board Service; Elisa Scott, PTSA treasurer for Community Service;

Michel Krivosta, Earl L. Vandermeulen High School science teacher for Teacher Service; Maureen Griffin, Edna Louise Spear Elementary School principal’s secretary for Support Staff Service, and Fred Koelbel, plant facilities administrator for Administrator Service.

Golf Outing Set The New Interdisciplinary School (NIS), an innovative early childhood learning center, located in Yaphank, is holding its 22nd annual golf outing, at St. George’s Golf & Country Club on June 18th. This golf outing, honoring Tom Emde, a parent of an NIS alumnus, is the nonprofit preschool’s largest annual fundraiser.

“We are extremely grateful for the donations we’ve received at NIS’s

More than 140 leadership volunteers united on Thursday, March 8th, at the American Cancer Society’s annual Evening of Hope at The Fox Hollow in Woodbury to celebrate the organization’s local impact, recognize volunteers and present the distinguished Heart and Soul award.

Highlight of the evening was the presentation of The Heart and Soul Award, a prestigious honor recognizing an individual(s) who encompasses the mission of the American Cancer Society through volunteerism, participation in multiple events and initiatives and goes beyond expectations in a volunteer role to benefit cancer patients and families on Long Island.

This year’s winners are Miguel and Abby Melendez of Baldwin, New York. In the ten years they have served as volunteers, they have actively participated in Relay For Life, supported Making Strides Against Breast Cancer, the

previous golf outings, which enabled us to implement our Animal Assisted Intervention Program for students with special needs and look forward to enhancing this program. The success we’ve seen in our students’ individualized therapeutic goals has been tremendous due to this program, and we look forward to seeing their continued progress as the program grows,” said Susan Cali, NIS Director of Development.

The New Interdisciplinary School is an innovative early childhood learning center that respects the unique

needs of all children and their families.

Our commitment is to provide therapeutic and educational services in a nurturing environment with the highest standard of expertise.

Polar Dip Series Raises Funds The iconic Camp Sunshine Polar Dip Series recently concluded and raised $217,000 this winter. Local teams from the Northeast to the MidAtlantic participated in local dips, plunging into the icy waters of the Atlantic Ocean, lakes, rivers and several different polar pools!

“We’re thankful that we can still count on people to unpack their swimsuits each winter and take a quick dip into freezing cold water to support Camp Sunshine,” said Michael Smith, Development Director at Camp Sunshine.“ A couple seconds of cold are nothing in comparison to what Camp Sunshine families face on a daily basis. This is an easy way to help support your community and we

saw a lot of new faces this year!”

Funds were raised by teams and individuals who committed to taking the icy plunge. In total, 552 participants registered to participate in one of the nine dips.

“As incredible as it is to think that 552 people were able to raise more than $217,000, the fundraising component is just part of the goal of these events,” said Michael Katz, Executive Director at Camp Sunshine. “Equally as important is the awareness we bring to each area where we host these events. Our goal has always been to reach out to even more families who can utilize our services. The polar dips provide a great platform to help spread the word.”

The funds enable children with lifethreatening illnesses and their families to enjoy the award-winning Camp Sunshine on Sebago Lake in Maine free-ofcharge. At Camp, they join other families on similar journeys and experience the benefits of empathy and encouragement, recovery and recreation, and hope and inspiration.

In all, 23 illness-specific sessions will be hosted at Camp Sunshine in 2018.

If you are or know a family with a child who has been diagnosed with a lifethreatening illness, please consider referring their family to Camp Sunshine.

Applications can be found online or by emailing info@campsunshine.org.
