Long Island Lutheran Middle & High School (LuHi) was once again home to FIRST® Tech Challenge Scrimmages – presented by SchoolBusiness Partnerships of Long Island, Inc. (SBPLI), which brought science and creativity together on a robotics playing field. On Saturday, December 9th and Sunday, December 10th, twenty-nine teams from across Long Island competed in a friendly tournament-style scrimmage that prepared them for the upcoming season of FIRST RELIC RECOVERYSM (presented

by Qualcomm).

Teams, comprised of students age 12 to 18, worked alongside adult mentors to design, build, program and operate robots to play a floor game in an alliance format on a 12-foot by 12-foot field.

This season, FIRST Tech Challenge teams across the world are asked to don their adventurers’ hats to create robots capable of retrieving opponentcolored jewels from platforms, scoring glyphs into crypto boxes, creating cipher patterns, moving “relics” to a recovery zone and parking their robots on “balancing stones.”

FIRST Tech Challenge is

Moriches High School (January 13th-14th, 2018); and Sewanhaka High School (January 27th28th, 2018). Students will compete at these events for a chance to ultimately advance to the Championship tournament at Smithtown High School West (February 11th, 2018).

“FIRST Tech Challenge is growing rapidly on Long Island and we are excited to see what this

season holds,” says Janet Anderson, Program Director and SBPLI/FIRST Long Island representative.

“We are incredibly thankful to LuHi for the generosity of welcoming us back for our second year, and for providing us with the assistance to expand to a second day of scrimmages. They are a wonderful partner and we look forward to continuing our relationship with them to benefit the students of

Long Island.”

“The LuHi community is happy to host this FIRST Tech Challenge event,” says Ed Parry, Director of Summer Programs. “They loved the atmosphere and the people involved.

We look forward to our continued involvement with FIRST and SBPLI in the coming years.”

an international program featuring hundreds of tournaments for more than 46,000 students in nearly 20 countries.

Students demonstrate their problem-solving skills, creative thinking, teamwork, competitive play, sportsmanship and sense of community.

During all FIRST Tech Challenge tournaments, teams work in alliances with the goal of scoring more points, awarded through accomplishing the aforementioned tasks, during 150 seconds of game play, which includes autonomous and drivercontrolled periods, on a 12-by-12-foot playing field.

Last weekend’s scrimmages were the first events in the 2017-2018 FIRST Tech Challenge season on Long Island.

First Tech Challenge

By: Joan Wormell

Early morning at the beach As the mist begins to rise The water calmly laps the shore This is where the beauty lies The beauty that is found in nature Breathe it in It calms your soul Enjoy it all You’ve reached your goal The goal of peace That lies inside Let Mother Nature Be your guide

Memories By: Joan Amato

Burning embers ripe with color Shimmer like beacons on a dark sea Sparks smolder, flicker, lick the wind Thrash at the atmosphere Only to succumb to dull dry residue No longer vibrant or full of warmth Now a paltry mix of nothingness

Little things great and small I don’t see ashes after all Like those rendered Long gone after a roaring fire I see you like God’s raiment Speckled within the woods Riding the crest of the ocean Alive within the core of my being Coveted by my love and sadness; You no longer remain on this earth but are Scattered like the residues of wind and time Which glows in nature like my memories of all of you.

Catching Snowflakes “We have only this moment, sparking like a star in our hand ~ and melting like a snowflake.” ~ Sir Francis Bacon As we approach the end of 2017 and look ahead to the new horizons of 2018, we reflect. Each year is full of its own moments, fleeting instants of happiness and sadness, anger and elation, all coming together to form this composite of life as we know it. And in those moments, we form the memories which carry us forward to the next chapter.

There are two schools of thought relating to this; the first is that things have the ability to change in the blink of an eye, to take on an entirely new, often unexpected

direction. This can be in the form of a beautiful surprise, or a tragic turn; there is simply no telling. We are well aware of these possibilities.

In fact, we will often remark how grateful we should be for the present, how appreciative of our blessings and those whom we love dearly. And yet, somewhere along the way, we tend to forget how very lucky we are.

beginning of a new one. Just as we must learn to accept unexpected circumstances, we must take an active role in changing our own.

Of course, all the theorizing in the world can only accomplish so much. A life on paper is not a life at all; the words must take shape in our actions and follow through in order to make any discernible difference. And, in that, we create our very own snowflake, a composite of our unique qualities and circumstances, our passions and personalities. No two are alike, and each one is exceptionally fragile and should be handled with care.

The second rationale follows the logic that, simply because the calendar has flipped its pages does not mean that any other substantial changes are destined to follow. New year, new you… but only if you take the necessary steps to make it so. Otherwise, it’s simply another day, just like all the Let 2018 be the year that we others; a continuation of the catch our snowflake. same path, rather than the

(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.

Competition Season Kickoff

SUFFOLK ZONE 6 - NEIGHBOR NEWSPAPERS - WEDNESDAY DECEMBER 27, 2017 • www.southbaysneighbor.com

The FIRST® (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) Robotics Competition season will once again kick off at the Jacob Javits Lecture Center at Stony Brook University. On Saturday, January 6th, 2018 at 9 a.m., FIRST Robotics Competition teams from across Long Island will gather in anticipation of learning about the forthcoming season’s robotics competition.

Knowing only that this year’s theme is FIRST POWERUPSM, the local FIRST teams, and the more than 3,000 teams around the world, will receive this year’s game rules via NASA satellite transmission from FIRST headquarters in New Hampshire. During the Long Island Kick Off, School-Business Partnerships of Long Island, Inc. (SBPLI), which presents the event, will also hold a special informational session for parents of participating students, during which

they will learn about the organization, its mission and the importance of the robotics programs.

Students and parents alike will also be treated to presentations from alumni, mentors and sponsors regarding the impact of the program on the local communities and businesses. Towards the close of the event, each team will then collect its kit of parts to construct a 120-pound robot over the six-week design and build period leading up to the FIRST Robotics Competition tournaments.

Following last year’s record-breaking registration for the SBPLI Long Island Regional FIRST Robotics Competition, the organization will now be hosting two regional tournaments across two sets of consecutive dates.

Planned as a double header, these back-to-back regionals will be held April 9th to 11th and April 12th to 14th, 2018 at Hofstra University’s David S. Mack Sports and Exhibition

Complex. Each event will serve as a separate regional, with different teams competing in separate alliances and tournament rounds. Some of the teams set to participate in the local regionals will move on to compete at the 2018 FIRST Championship in Detroit.

Leading up to the regionals, SBPLI students will work with engineering mentors to apply concepts of math and science learned in the classroom to build their robots.

Students will also learn important concepts such as teamwork, problem solving and healthy competition. Many SBPLI students use these skills while pursuing science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) studies and careers.

Over the years, FIRST students from Long Island received millions of dollars in scholarships for higher education.

This year, students participating in FIRST will have access to more than $50 million

Lacrosse Team Brings Cheer

worth of scholarships.

“We are very excited to get our 2018 season underway and are looking forward to another great kick-off event,” says Larry Toonkel, newly appointed Co-Director, FIRST Robotics Competition, FIRST Long Island. “With two Regionals in the works, we know that this year will be an especially pivotal one for SBPLI and STEM education on Long Island.

In addition to making it now possible for all Long Island districts to join our family, our hope for the future of the SBPLI Long Island Regionals is that more teams from across the state, nation and world will be able to compete at one or both of our events each year.”

“We’re so happy that Cisco was able to bring their expertise once again to Cohen during this holiday season,” said Patricia Ottavanio, special events coordinator at Cohen Children’s.

“Thanks to them, we are able to bring Santa to the children. During this time of year, it’s very difficult for children and their loved ones to be away from home. Events such as these help make Chanukah and

Christmas a happier time for these families.”

Brian and Keri Adams, of Central Islip, joined their infant son, Derek, in the playroom. Watching with happiness as he banged on a little drum, Derek’s parents said: “This event makes children feel like they’re not in the hospital.

We appreciate the effort being made by everyone here today to being Santa to our children.”

GREAT

Christmas came a little early this year to the young patients at Cohen Children’s Medical Center, thanks to the kindness of technical wizards at Presidio and Cisco Systems.

Through the Cisco Santa Connection, patients who are unable to celebrate in the comfort of their own homes due to illness can still experience the magic of the holiday.

Using a video monitor and web-enabled camera today, Santa “virtually” visited with children in the third floor playroom who were eager to discuss their holiday wish lists.

The children, who were led to believe that Santa was communicating live from his home in the North Pole, deliveredw a list that ran the gamut from electric guitars and video games to toy trucks and art books.

In the meantime, Santa (who spends the rest of the year as a Cohen Children’s employee) spoke lovingly to the children who were accompanied in the playroom by Child Life staff members dressed as elves and other holiday characters.

And, for those who didn’t feel well enough to leave their rooms, a mobile cart or iPad enabled with Cisco Jabber software helped Santa travel room-to-room for a personalized bedside visit – all of this without once leaving his workshop in the North Pole, according to the children.

Inquisitive Minds Edna Louise Spear Elementary School students in the Port Jefferson School District took part in the national Computer Science Education Week’s “Hour of Code,” an initiative to encourage them to spend one hour to learn to program with an ultimate goal of wanting to learn more advanced coding.

Students in Kim Pelkonen’s fourth-grade

class were introduced to Flappy Bird, a simple, popular game in which the user controls the bird through narrow passageways without hitting the pipes on the screen.

They used their Chromebooks to access the educational site Khan Academy, which uses detailed, step-by-step instructional videos to teach code. According to

Pelkonen, the program makes it possible for advanced students to move ahead and manages to assist others by filling in the gaps if they missed any concepts.

“They really enjoyed it,” said Pelkonen. “The game was a fun introduction and got them excited. Many students asked me to assign a new project so that they could try it at home.”

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.

Go Red for Women Luncheon Let’s Unite! Men and women from across Long Island will be getting all of their red outfits and accessories ready for the American Heart Association’s 17th annual Long Island Go Red For Women Luncheon. Heart disease and stroke are the No. 1 and No. 5 killers of Long Island women.

For more than a decade, women have been fighting heart disease individually and together as part of the Go Red For Women movement. Cardiovascular diseases cause one in three women’s deaths each year, killing approximately one woman every minute.

Since 1984, more women than men have died each year from heart disease & stroke.

An estimated 43 million women in the U.S. are affected by cardiovascular diseases. When you get involved in supporting Go Red For Women by advocating, fundraising and sharing your story, more lives are saved. The Long Island American Heart Association’s 17th Annual Go Red For Women Luncheon on Wednesday, February 28th, 2018 at the Crest Hollow Country

Club in Woodbury from 8:30 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.

Northwell Health is the Presenting Go Red For Women Sponsor.

The American Heart Association’s 17th annual Go Red For Women Luncheon combines an elegant luncheon reception, silent auction, networking opportunities and moving survivor stories. The Long Island Go Red For Women Luncheon will again feature educational breakout sessions presented by recognized and credentialed healthcare professionals, providing women with information, resources and hope to take action and live a longer, stronger life.

This year’s Luncheon will honor The Women of SterlingRisk, and Doug DeShutter, President, Customer Communications, Broadridge.

Charlotte Biblow, Esq., Partner, Farrell Fritz, P.C. and The Link’s Incorporated will receive the Community

Honoree Award.

The honorees are committed to raising support and creating awareness about heart disease and stroke especially, as it pertains to women. Teresa Evans, Director, Human Resources Business Partner, National Retail, Freedom Mortgage is Chair of the Luncheon. Ginger Zimmerman, Survivor, will share her story.

The American Heart Association Go Red For Women Luncheon is attended by both women and men from business, health, education, local and state government.

Caring For Granite Countertops (NAPSI)—Granite countertops are the most popular option available when it comes to kitchen or bathroom remodeling.

They look great, they’re durable, but they can also cost thousands of dollars.

Granite requires special care and attention because it’s a natural stone. Here are a few tips to help you protect your investment: • Seal your countertops: According to the Marble Institute of America, an industry group, granite countertops should be sealed so that the stone is more resistant to dirt and spills. Check with the manufacturer or retailer about the best kind of sealer to use on food preparation areas.

• Be careful what

you clean with: Never use ammonia—based products-or cleaners containing vinegar, lemon or orange—on your granite countertops. Avoid abrasive cleaners such as dry or soft cleansers. Don’t use cleaning products that contain acid such as bathroom, grout, or tub and tile cleaners. Specialty granite cleaners can be used, but they can be expensive. There’s a way to stretch your dollars.

• Mind your budget: JAWS Glass & Hard Surface Cleaner (www.jawscleans. com) cleans granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, glass and even your flat-screen TV. It’s also non-toxic and costs less than most other cleaners because each

JAWS product is actually two bottles in one. (The cartridge refill is attached to the bottle.)

There are also some other basic preventive measures you can take to protect your granite countertops: • Use coasters: Place a coaster under all glasses, particularly those containing alcohol or citrus juices that can etch or dull the surface of many stone countertops.

• Use trivets or mats: They’ll protect your granite countertop from hot dishes and help avoid scratches.

Granite countertops can really add spark to a kitchen or bathroom.

Proper care will keep them looking beautiful.

Signs Of Unsafe Driving In Older Adults (NAPSI)—The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) estimates that there are more than 38 million drivers age 65 and older.

Age is not the only factor that can impact driving abilities, but it is an important one. There is evidence that most people experience age-related declines in physical and mental abilities. These changes—which can affect everything from vision to how quickly you can make decisions—influence how well you can drive.

They can also be difficult to address for yourself or with older people you know, since driving

often represents freedom, independence and control.

But transitioning from driving doesn’t mean you have to lose these things.

Your health care providers or Area Agency on Aging (www.eldercare.gov) can point you toward a range of transportation alternatives in the community. The first step toward finding those tools is recognizing when you might need them.

Signs that an Older Adult’s Driving Skills Need Testing So how do you know whether you or an older adult you know is developing difficulties as a driver? These issues can be warning signs that suggest

that an older driver may need to be tested or evaluated: • Getting lost in familiar areas • Ignoring traffic signs and signals • Becoming easily agitated or angered • Falling asleep or being unable to concentrate when driving • Reacting too slowly to dangerous situations • Forgetting or ignoring driving basics (like yielding to the right of way) • Having trouble judging distances.

Setauket Elementary School fourth-grade students in Eric Gustafson’s class in the Three Village Central School District are strengthening their writing skills as they step inside the world of online journalism and complete creative writing entries for a class blog.

Set up in a secure Google Classroom site, the students are writing about their favorite things, holiday gift ideas and

much more. Additionally, they are engaging with their peers in meaningful dialogue about the subjects shared.

The project is designed to be a fun outlet for individual expression as well as provide students with the opportunity to build their use of the language. While writing for enjoyment, Mr. Gustafson continues to reinforce in the students the need to back up their statements

with evidence, to take care with their grammar and sentence structure.

“I really like how the blog allows us to talk to our classmates and share experiences in order to get to know each other better,” said fourth-grader Samuel Siegal.

In the future, Mr. Gustafson hopes to expand the blogging project to include video blogs and interactions between the class and their parents.

Celebrating through Art Frank J. Carasiti Elementary School students in the Rocky Point School District got into the holiday spirit by creating several different artistic creations.

After reading the book “Gingerbread Friends,”

by Jan Brett, first-grade students created two-

dimensional gingerbread houses. With the help of art teacher Laura Goelz, the students incorporated the lessons they learned on patterns and basic architecture to design their own individual structures.

They embellished the drawings with a variety of details before adding a

dusting of “snow.”

A d d i t i o n a l l y, kindergarten classes created candy canes full of sparkle and second-graders designed colorful holiday lights. All of the students’ creations lined the hallways in the building just before the holiday break.

Exploring STEM Concepts and topics routed in STEM education were on full display this fall during Rocky Point School District’s first STEM Exposition.

The event showcased STEM opportunities at the university level and in the workforce. Middle and high school students had opportunities to interact with scientists, technologists, engineers and mathematicians, and to discuss career information related to STEM fields.

During the evening, several keynote speakers delivered STEM-focused presentations, including Dr. Abhay Deshpande from Brookhaven National Laboratory

336423N1227

631.499.7100 • libi.edu

and his daughter and Rocky Point Class of 2017 graduate Pooja Deshpande, Marc Alessi from the Tesla Science Center at Wardenclyffe, Mark Walker from the Sartorius Corporation, and Dr. Michael Caplan, Suffolk County chief medical examiner.

Representatives from Stony Brook University, Applied DNA Science, Adelphi University, the Long Island Science Center, and numerous other STEM organizations also attended.

The STEM Exposition also showcased Rocky Point students’ STEM accomplishments as Rocky Point Middle School and High School robotics

teams attended the event.

During the event, students also participated in STEM challenges.

Attendees designed and constructed straw towers, marshmallow catapults, “lunar landers,” and Popsicle stick bridges.

Attendees also engaged in the engineering design process multiple times, revising their designs to continuously improve them.

Rocky Point will look to build on the enthusiasm generated from the STEM Exposition, continuing to seek opportunities to promote STEM and to share college and career information related to STEM careers.

Plan For Your Retirement (NAPSI)—If you’re like 82 percent of Americans, you may be concerned about retirement, according to the Employment Benefit Research Institute.

Fortunately, you may have a brighter future if you heed five hints from Ray LeVitre, CFP, author of “20 Retirement Decisions You Need To Make Right Now” as well as founder and managing partner of Net Worth Advisory Group—a firm specializing in retirement financial planning.

1. Track your expenses now. Gradually adjust your expenditures toward the budget you’ll have in retirement.

2. Start living like a retiree.

Change your lifestyle to reflect how it might be in retirement.

That might mean downsizing your home, reducing your leisure travel or driving a more efficient car.

3.

Increase your savings. Within 15 years of retirement, contribute a minimum of 15 percent

of earnings toward retirement.

4.

Explore your Social Security options.

Postponing benefits until age 70 can significantly boost lifetime income.

Explore spousal benefits, too.

5. Don’t invest too conservatively. A broadly diversified, well-balanced portfolio of equities, bonds and cash offers the best opportunity to maintain the necessary growth of capital while minimizing volatility.

Big, Colorful Ideas For Small Spaces

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

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

Bromstad offers these color tips for transforming a space from tiny to airy: Create a focal point with paint. Paint a statement wall that draws attention away from the size of EXPLORING STEM - Rocky Point School District students and staff members were your space and toward eager to participate in this year’s STEM Exposition. Photo courtesy of: Rocky Point something beautiful and School District

vibrant. Bright or bold colors work well, as the wall can appear to recede, creating the illusion of space.

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

Coordinate your colors.

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

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

Reflect upon something.

Placed opposite a window or side by side, mirrors can spread light throughout

the room to make spaces feel larger. A tall mirror draws the eye up, making ceilings look taller. When angled toward your room’s focal wall, a mirror can also create the illusion of depth.

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

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

Everything else in the room will appear larger.

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

New Pre-School Program The Long Island Museum in Stony Brook isn’t just for grown-ups. Beginning next month, the museum’s education department will introduce a new program for pre-school children called Dynamic Kids of New York, let by instructor Susan Blake.

“With growing interest in our family and school age programs, the education department at LIM has long been hoping to expand our offerings,” said museum educator Kristen Cuomo. “Developing preschool age enrichment in our gallery spaces was the next natural addition.”

Instructor Susan Blake

will begin each program with a themed story, followed by creative movement exercises and simple art projects. The classes are designed for children ages three to five and are offered in two different sessions on Tuesdays or Fridays.

“Susan Blake and her teaching style are a fixture in the local community, and her Dynamic Kids of New York programs are a wonderful fit for LIM,” continued Kristen. “With a focus on movement and kinesthetic learning, these mornings at the museum will offer our youngest visitors diverse and

exciting ways to interact with our galleries.”

Classes will run from 10:45 a.m. to noon and the first three-week session will begin on Friday, January 12. Session II begins Tuesday, January 30. Parents interested in registering their children for the Dynamic Kids of New York program are asked to call the museum’s education department at 631.751.0066, ext. 12.

Fees are $45 per child, per session.

Tips For A 100 Percent Hassle-Free Move

(NAPSI)—Moving can be a hassle, stressful and emotional.

If you’re considering a move, know you’re not alone. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, 40 million Americans moved in 2016. That’s a lot of moving.

“Every year, people take on the frustrating experience of moving,” said Adam Doron, CEO of Unpakt, an online platform designed to eliminate stress from the moving experience. “What many Catch Your Dreams don’t realize is that moving The future belongs to doesn’t have to be difficult. those who believe in the There are resources beauty of their dreams. available to ensure an easy, Eleanor Roosevelt hassle-free move.”

As We Welcome In A New Year, May We All Practice More Humility & Kindness. ~ 2018 ~

According to Doron, the main challenge when moving is guaranteeing the final price of a move, as moving prices can increase on move day with no notice. Another challenge?

Verifying that a mover is licensed and insured. He suggests using a reliable online service to compare guaranteed, transparent prices from prescreened moving companies, as well as customer reviews. That allows people to manage and control their move from start to finish. It’s also beneficial to have a third party handling payments and issues.

New Year’s Eve is upon us - a night filled with merriment, an abundance of food, plenty of alcohol, and of course those dreaded resolutions. For me, it became an annual ritual to tell myself this is the year you’re going to lose weight and get healthy.

This year is different for me and, for the first time, my goals have expanded.

I want to be more active and take advantage of my newfound energy, as opposed to engaging in activities simply to lose weight and not be in pain, short of breath, uncomfortable. I want to work out more and focus on specific areas, as opposed to going to the gym and struggling to work out comfortably in order to burn calories to lose a few pounds. I want to help more people realize their health goals. This is new...

I have been given a gift to help others, and for that I am thankful.

So, when you are thinking about the resolutions you want to make this year,
