By: Jamie Lynn Ryan

with Jamie Lynn Ryan Triskaidekaphobia: fear of the number 13 I’ve known many people with an aversion to this perceived “unlucky” number, whether serving as a date of particular significance or - the more common superstition - when it should happen to fall on a Friday, of all days.

Personally, I’ve taken special care to note any particularly negative occurrences on these infrequent juxtapositions of day and date, with thankfully few to report. Just another day, as they say.

And with that, today - May 2nd - I commemorate the 13th anniversary of my start date here at South Bay’s Neighbor Newspapers. Over one dozen years ago, I began my journey into the world of journalism, straight from college. At the time, thirteen years would have certainly seemed like an eternity to spend in any one establishment. Think about

it - even school, which often seems like an infinite chunk of time, is divided into segments of elementary, junior high and senior high. College, if it follows, is usually segmented into four-year intervals.

Thirteen years… well that’s an entirely different level of commitment, is it not?

And yet, even in the workforce, time tends to separate into stages. It begins with the formative years of finding your footing in a particular field, still unsure of what the job entails and what your responsibilities will include. Everything is new and exciting as you realize - hey, I’m really doing this! These are followed by the years of transition, when positions may be altered, new projects will come and go, and you begin to discover your particular strengths and weaknesses en route to finding your true passion.

Thirteen years in, and I

am still in the process of realizing those aspects of the vast field of journalism which really inspire me. I am open to learn, eager to explore and always looking to improve upon those skills I originally honed all those decades ago.

I believe this process is never complete; those who have worked in a particular field for twice as long as I have can surely attest to this fact.

Who’s to say that anyone has to stay with one particular venture for a lifetime anyway?

The world is constantly evolving, as are we; and the nature of most careers tends to necessitate a versatility that didn’t always exist prior. We all have untapped skills to be utilized, curiosities to indulge and talents to cultivate.

So, here’s to 13, a number like any other, if you ask me. May it signify all the experience gained thus far, and the adventures yet to unfold.

Cardboard Creations Rocky Point’s Joseph A. Edgar Intermediate School fourth-grade students in Allison Licata’s class recently transformed commonly discarded items into creative inventions.

Seeking inspiration from the YouTube video,

“Caine’s Arcade,” the students applied what they have been learning in science about simple machines to create an arcade game using the recycled cardboard boxes.

They worked in teams to create working simple

machines and some even created complex machines.

“It was very impressive what they accomplished,” said Ms. Licata. “The students did an outstanding job and we had a lot of fun.”

ExploraVision Finalists Three Village Central School District’s Ward Melville High School juniors Kian Abbott, Jeffrey Casey, Darren Tung and Abhinav Yadav were selected as one of six regional finalists in the ExploraVision competition for their project, “Polychiral Multi-Walled Carbon Nanotube Solar Cells.” These students were honored for their successes during a recent in-school presentation, where they

learned they will go on to compete for a chance to win a trip to Washington, D.C. and a $10,000 U.S. savings bond.

The students’ project creates efficient solar cells made from multi-walled carbon nanotubes with varying chiralities. Carbon nanotubes exhibit the photoelectric effect, so they can be used to create a solar cell. When CNTs are produced they have differing structures,

which is referred to as chirality. The different chiralities absorb different wavelengths of light. The MWCNTs used would have chiralities specifically tuned to absorb the different wavelengths of sunlight resulting in a highly efficient solar cell.

As regional winners, each student was presented with a commemorative plaque and large external hard drive.

It all started with a good book...

As I sat down with Lisa Gatti, CEO & Founder of Pal-O-Mine Equestrian, Inc., I had the privilege to learn about what her organization does to help those in need, as well as how it all began. PalO-Mine Equestrian is a comprehensive therapeutic equine program that uses horses to facilitate growth, learning and healing for individuals with disabilities and for other vulnerable populations.

Lisa’s mother was a special education teacher and her father worked for a book publishing company. She was greatly influenced by both of their professions.

Lisa grew up knowing she loved horses, but she really wanted to become a teacher and work with children in need.

Her father would often send her books while she was away at college, and one day she received a book titled Palomino,

by Danielle Steel. As she read through the pages, she became inspired by what was written about: a ranch that was formed to help people through equine therapy.

From that point on, she was certain that was exactly what she wanted to do with her life. Through persistence, hard work and a passion to serve others, Lisa Gatti opened Pal-O-Mine in 1995 as a 501(C)(3) non-profit.

Pal-O-Mine grew from having two programs, eight horses and 80 students per week to 11 programs, 25 horses and 400 students per week - and they continue to grow today! This organization sits on eight acres, with a 20-stall barn, handicapped accessible bathrooms, a new 100’ x 120’ indoor arena with state-ofthe-art footing and a rider hoisting system, and three outdoor riding arenas. They help an unbelievable amount of people, and their work is truly heartwarming.

Individuals of all ages are welcome to take part in the programs they offer. They operate with five full-time employees, 35 independent contractors and 80 volunteers a week. Their riding instructors have experience with the following diagnoses: Autism Spectrum Disorders, Anxiety Disorders, Sensory Processing Disorder, Attention Deficit Disorder, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, Neurological Disorders, Cerebral Palsy,

He would like to combine what he learned in the school’s Human Rights Club to be a change agent in the world and focus on human rights abuses, trafficking and helping those affected by natural disasters.

“It’s important to me to do everything with passion,” Connor said.

His words of wisdom to others are to “take pride in everything you do, from homework to college applications, be proud of your accomplishments.”

Stamp Out Hunger Island Harvest Food Bank is once again teaming up with the National Association of Letter Carriers (NALC) and the United States Postal Service (USPS) for the 26th annual Stamp Out Hunger campaign on Saturday, May 12th. As the nation’s largest single-day food drive, postal carriers across the country will collect nonperishable food items donated by generous postal customers. On Long

Island, all food collected will help Island Harvest Food Bank to provide supplemental food support to more than 300,000 Long Islanders who are at risk of hunger and food insecurity.

“Participating in Stamp Out Hunger is easy,” says Randi Shubin Dresner, president and CEO of Island Harvest Food Bank.

“Simply leave nonperishable food items in a bag next to your mailbox before your

regularly scheduled mail delivery on Saturday, May 12th, and your USPS letter carrier will do the rest.”

Nonperishable food items needed include canned goods, cereal, pasta, rice, boxed juices and shelf-stable milk (please, no glass items).

All food donated on Long Island will help replenish Island Harvest Food Bank’s network of food pantries, soup kitchens and other emergency feeding

programs in Nassau and Suffolk counties.

“Every donation, no matter how small, helps our neighbors who are struggling to put food on their tables,” said Randi Shubin Dresner.

“The National Association of Letter Carriers is pleased to partner with Island Harvest Food Bank and support its efforts in addressing the problem of hunger on Long Island,” said Walter

Barton, president, NALC Branch 6000. “Our Letter Carriers often see the need for food assistance firsthand as part of their daily rounds, and we’re happy to help give back to the community, and provide much-needed food support for the thousands of families affected by hunger here in our local communities.”

Since its inception in 1993, Stamp Out Hunger has collected more than

1.5 billion pounds of food nationally to help address the issue of hunger in America. Last year, Stamp Out Hunger netted 71 million pounds of food in 10,000 cities and towns, and in all 50 states plus the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, Guam and the U.S. Virgin Islands.

In 2017, Long Islanders donated 268,582 pounds of food to Stamp Out Hunger, which supplemented 223,818 meals.

Curiosity about robots at a young age led Rocky Point High School senior Kyle Markland to save money for his first robotics kit and from there a spark was ignited – a spark that lead to Kyle joining the district’s robotics teams and, most recently, pen a book about the topic.

“Building Smart LEGO MINDSTORMS EV3 Robots,” published in April, was an opportunity to put together all his knowledge

in a comprehensive guide that covers building and programming techniques used by professional engineers. Kyle highlights six projects – an objecttracking tank, a boxclimbing robot, an interactive robotic shark, a quirky bipedal robot, a speedy remote-control race car and a GPS-navigating robot – and explains the features that enable them to make intelligent decisions.

“With all the accomplishments that Kyle has in so many areas, it is incredible that he was able to achieve this goal as well,” said Rocky Point High School Principal Susan Crossan.

Passionate and enthusiastic about his work, Kyle said, “I hope to inspire others to embrace this robotics platform and gain the skills to build and program a smart robot.”

Unplugging to Connect

Minnesauke Elementary School students and staff in the Three Village Central School District are taking part in an unplugged challenge this April — an initiative designed to reduce digital media usage and increase time connecting with themselves, family and friends.

The weeklong program – which was based on a national movement – focused on teaching students about alternative activities to promote healthy lifestyles. Activities were designed by a building level committee and were introduced during

students’ health, library and physical education lessons.

Additionally, students took part in a seven-day art challenge, were invited to an evening event at a local SkyZone trampoline park and were encouraged to create a family contract setting acceptable parameters for digital usage.

“I feel that there is a real need to address the topic of the overuse of digital media by children, especially as many are spending more and more time plugged in and less time connecting with people and experiencing the world around them

computer science.

As the exhortation speaker, Jade Pinkenburg also has a comprehensive list of accomplishments.

He is gifted in science and research and pursued a rigorous course of study while in high school. He placed fifth in the nation in the country’s FIRST LEGO League Team

on nanotechnological applications.

“I encourage others to go for it,” Jade said.

Whatever it is they want to pursue, “don’t let obstacles get in your way, do what you feel is right.”

Teachers and staff members helped to promote the initiative by signing posters explaining how they like to unplug.

The completed posters were displayed throughout the building.

Polar Bear Splash Splashers were greeted by clear skies and sharks at AHRC Suffolk's Annual Polar Bear Splash on Saturday, April 21st at the Bay Shore Marina. Orlando from 94.3 The Shark showed his support for AHRC Suffolk by splashing into spring as well as Finn the SCCC Sharks Spirit Team mascot!

Over one hundred people from local schools and communities gathered to help raise money and POLAR BEAR SPLASH - Over a hundred Splashers braved the icy bay to raise awareness for AHRC money for AHRC Suffolk.

Suffolk's Mission.

Many Splashers meandered around the beach before the actual splash listening to music and enjoying the new playground at the Marina!

However, when it came time to go all in there was no shortage of splashers willing to dive into the icy waters of the Bay! All proceeds from this event directly benefit AHRC Suffolk's programs and services throughout their 42 facilities in Suffolk

County. AHRC Suffolk is non-profit organization that provides programs and services for children and adults with intellectual and other developmental disabilities.

of the nation’s largest bus manufacturers, to focus on electric technology.”

In just the last several years, advances in battery technology have greatly increased the potential range for electric-powered school buses, making them far more viable for everyday fleet use. The buses “plug in” overnight and have a potential range up to 125 miles per charge.

“The first thing you notice is that it has no tailpipe. It is literally the cleanest school bus in the U.S., yet has just as much power as a gas or diesel powered vehicle,” said Phil Horlock, President of Blue Bird Corporation, who discussed the bus at the event. “Mechanically, the bus is amazingly simple and as a result, is much easier and less costly to maintain. Of course, it offers huge savings on fuel costs.”

“We encourage and welcome the commitment of Blue Bird, which is taking the lead in producing buses that run on alternative sources of energy,” said Corrado who said he expects that an all-electric bus will begin operating on a regular school district route in Suffolk County sometime this year.

Suffolk Transportation Service operates over 1,400

vehicles, mainly diesel buses and gasoline vans, serving 18 school districts.

The event was hosted by the Islip Town School Board Association, compromised of board of education members from districts throughout the Town of Islip. “We’re very excited to be at a point at which this cutting edge bus is ready to go into service.

This can be a win-win for both the taxpayers and the environment,” said Sue Schnebel, Superintendent of Islip School District.

Another attendee was Fred Koelbel, Director of Facilities and Transportation for Port Jefferson School District. “What a message students receive when they ride on a bus like this. There are messages about sustainability, green energy, and messages about the future. This becomes something they are exposed to every day on their way to and from school,” he said.

While electric buses are more costly, members of the Islip Town School Board Association learned about grants and funding approaches that may be available which can dramatically bring down the initial $350,000 price tag.

More than 50 school district leaders got their first look at what many say is the future of pupil transportation – the first U.S. made all-electric, zero-emissions school bus.

Currently on an inaugural cross-country tour, this battery-powered prototype bus made a stop in Bay Shore, Long Island, where school board members, superintendents and transportation officials participated in a two-hour introduction and test ride of the bus.

The event was hosted

by Suffolk Transportation Service, Suffolk County’s largest pupil transportation provider. The bus was built

by Blue Bird Corporation, one of three main school bus makers in the U.S., and its batteries and drivetrain were developed by Adomani Electric.

“Electric and hybrid buses will have a big role in the future of pupil transportation on Long Island. Our school districts already know this and have been asking us when an electric bus will be available,” said John Corrado, President and CEO of Suffolk Transportation Service.

“In the last several years, we began to develop our own hybrid vehicle and also encouraged Blue Bird, one
