Sachem North Boys Lacrosse Back On TrackBy Chris R. Vaccaro

For years, Sachem was known as a perennial lacrosse power, but like every other sport in the district, was hindered by the infamous split during the 2004-05 school year. It’s taken some time, but in just fi ve seasons head coach Jay Mauro and his assistant Rich Petillo man-aged to bring the boys as far as the Suffolk County Class A quarterfi nals and this year the program has seven players committed to play college lacrosse as early as November. It’s a sign that Sachem lacrosse is back. “It’s an opportunity for kids younger than us to look up and see they can have this opportunity, too,” said Will Murphy, who will play at Manhattan College. “It makes people proud to be a Sachem athlete.” “It’s pretty impressive,” Mauro said at a press conference held at Sachem North in November. “It speaks volumes about our program academically and athletically. It’s not over though, they still have six months of their senior year left.”Joining Murphy are seniors Evan Bloom (Dartmouth), Nick Loguirato (Manhattan), James Kenny (Dowl-ing), Andy Moran (Assumption), Phil Schaefer (Hartwick) and Cody Ciolino (Hartwick). Two years ago the program had fi ve seniors commit to play in college, but there hasn’t been an outpour-ing of this amount of skill for early commitments in nearly a decade at Sachem. “I’ve been working at this since seventh grade and it shows that it was all for something,” said Bloom, who will play defense at Dartmouth, which competes in the IVY League. “It goes to show how great coach Mauro and coach Petillo are and how good a program they run. It shows all the work that everyone puts in is

HelP You Succeed

Congratulating Graduating SeniorsBy Maria Capp The American Dance Theatre of Long Island and American Ballet Studio, located in the south shore town of Bayport has watched eight, young ladies grow and fl ourish as part of their dance family over several years both in the classroom and on stage perform-ing. Seniors: Holly, Nicole and Elizabeth, (Patchogue – Medford ), Angela, Megan and Michelle (Sachem East), Nicole (Sayville) and Emily (St. Anthony’s) have dedicated about ten years of their lives dancing sometimes as many as 20 hours per week at this dance studio. I visited the young women along with their fellow students and cast members in the upcoming “Clara’s Dream: The Nutcracker” at the Bayport studio. They were gra-cious in performing a few numbers and excited to discuss what plans are ahead and after high school graduation. Their goals and ambitions are as unique as they are individuals

ranging from Chemical Engi-neering, auditioning for the New York City Rockettes, Psychol-ogy major, auditioning for “So You Think You Can Dance” to Dance Photographer. One com-mon denominator is that they all have learned fantastic life skills in a nurturing and challenging environment. The school’s philosophy according to the school’s founder and director, Kathleen Kairns-Scholz is “to provide expert training and education in the art of dance to

children of all ages, to help students explore and express themselves as individuals and to give them a new voice through movement and music.” These students all expressed unanimously their favorite memories and lessons learned during their time under Kathleen’s instruction: family, friends, discipline, challenge, belief and a positive sense of self. Come out and support these wonderful young women and the rest of the dance company this holiday season at the Patchogue Theatre for the Performing Arts where they will surely enchant you with the enduring Christmas favorite, “Clara’s Dream - The Nutcracker”, this December. For tickets visit www.patchoguetheatre.com or call 631-207-1313. American Ballet Studio in Bayport is also a member of the Huntington Arts council and the Long Island Dance Consortium. They offer dance scholarships for boys and encourage all inquiries to contact the school directly at 631-472-3455 or visit www.adtli.com.

Filled with singing, dancing and laughter it’s light-hearted, fun-filled perfect for the whole family. A warm musical tribute to “the most wonderful time of year”.• Always, Patsy Cline Wednesday, January 20Always...Patsy Cline is based on the true story of Patsy Cline’s friendship with Hous-ton housewife Louise Seger. The show combines humor, sadness and reality. It offers fans who remember Cline while she was alive a chance to look back, while giving new fans an idea of what seeing her was like and what she meant to her original fans.• Dirty Rotten Scoundrels Wednesday, February 17Dirty Rotten Scoundrels is based on a popular 1998 film by the same title. It’s about two fraudsters, one living on the French Rivieara who is a cultivated and suave gentle-man who cons rich women out of their money. The other is a small time American thief who cons women into giving him money by telling made-up stories about his sick grandmother. A battle between them starts with many twists and hysterical laughs along the way.

A group of graduates, well established in their careers, were discussing their lives at a class reunion. They decided to visit their favorite professor who) had always inspired them and had retired.During their visit, the conversation turned to complaints about stress in their lives.Offering his guests hot cocoa, the pro-fessor went into the kitchen and re-turned with a large pot of cocoa and an assortment of cups. Some cups were plain, some were fancy. Some were inexpensive and others were made of porcelain and quite expensive.The professor invited everyone to help themselves to a cup of cocoa.When they all had their cocoa in hand the professor shared his thoughts.“I noticed that all of the nice looking cups were chosen and the plain ones were left on the tray. While it’s normal to want only the best for yourselves, you need to realize that that’s probably the source of your stress and problems. The cup that you’re drinking from adds nothing to the quality of the cocoa and in most cases it’s just an expensive cup that hides what we drink.What each of you really wanted was cocoa – not the cup, but you con-sciously chose the best and soon you began to eye everyone else’s cups.Now friends, please consider this – Life is the hot cocoa – your job, money and position in society are the cups. They’re just tools to hold and contain life.The cup you have does not define nor change the quality of your life and sometimes by concentrating only on the cup we fail to enjoy the cocoa.”Always remember-The happiest people don’t have the best of everything-They just make the best of what they have.Live simply, love generously, care deeply, speak kindly.Happy Living!!!!!!!

Sachem Educator Named “Professional of the Year” Congratulations to Michael A. Lowis, a fourth-grade teacher at Nokomis Elemen-

tary in the Sachem Central School District, who has been named “Professional of the Year” by Cambridge Publishing and will be inducted into the “Who’s Who Among American Teachers” publication. Prior to his involvement in education, Mr. Lowis served as a communications specialist with the United States Air Force from 1978 to 1982. He graduated from Dowling College in 2002 with a master’s degree in education, and earned certifi cations in social sciences, elementary education and business administration. He is a former post commander for the American Legion and is a member of his local historical society, Kappa Delta Pi and Sachem’s Sports and Scholarships Committee.

Sequoya Middle School Lifesavers Featured on Website When the American Heart Association (AHA) started developing a new website targeting teenagers about the importance of CPR training, they decided that students and staff of Sequoya Middle School should be the very fi rst school featured on their brand new site. Launched on November 30, “Be the Beat” not only encourages students to learn CPR and other life-saving techniques, it also serves as a tool for educators to learn how they can incorporate training into the curriculum. Each month, the website’s homepage will feature one school that has successfully implemented CPR training programs, and the AHA has selected Sequoya to be the fi rst school. For the past 20 years, all seventh-grade students in the Sachem School District have been trained in CPR as part of the district’s health education curriculum. Health teachers Lori Hewlett and Colleen Cosgro spearhead the training at Sequoya Middle School. Last year, one of their former students used the skills he had learned in their class to save someone in their community. “The students really gain a lot of confi dence after being in our class,” explains Lori Hewlett. “And we’re excited to know that we are helping to create a new generation of lifesavers who are making our community a safer place to live.” You can check out the new website, featuring Sequoya’s students and staff, at www.bethebeat.heart.org. Congratulations to the Sequoya Middle School for being a model for other schools across the country!

paying off.” It’s also a much-deserved weight off their shoulders to sign this early in their senior years. “I don’t have to focus on which school I’m going to,” Ciolino said. “I can focus on winning games.”Said Schaefer, “now I have one goal to focus on and that’s [winning] counties.” Though counties would be a much-welcomed accomplishment, this group seems to be aiming higher. “It could be a special spring,” Mauro said. “It’s a great group of kids.”

Sachem North Girls SoccerLady Arrows lose to West Islip in county finalBy Chris R. Vaccaro With nine minutes left in the Class AA Suffolk County championship game, the Sachem North girls soccer team held a two goal lead and was about to win their sixth county title and first since 2001. By the end of that nine-minute duration, the Lady Arrows were brought to their knees as West Islip opened a can of domination on them and rattled off three unanswered goals to win. Many would say No. 8 North (15-5) was lucky to be in that situation in the first place, having knocked off top-seeded Sachem East, their rivals.

Jessica Pandolf scored the game-winning goal with 27 seconds left in double-over-time to give North one of its all-time greatest victories against their foes from the east. “Sachem always had rivals, but once that split occurred this became an instant rivalry,” said North head coach Claude Amollobietta. “It has more of an emotional ele-ment. That win was huge for us. People weren’t expecting much from us and it was a great opportunity to shock everybody.” From there, North upset fifth-seeded North Babylon, 3-2, after trailing 2-0. Devin McMahon scored the go-ahead goal off a throw-in from Stephanie Morini with 13:06 remaining. Catherine Viscardi and Ashlee Thompson scored the other goals. Nothing could have prepared Sachem for the goal Codi-Lynn Johnson scored against them in the finals. After receiving a pass from Alexis Pilkington, then dribbling the ball to about 25 yards out, Johnson took a shot that will be spoken about for years to come.With three seconds left she arched the ball in the air and as time expired it hit the back of the net, perfectly gliding over Sachem goalie Erin McNulty’s head, just inside the left post. Sachem lost, 3-2. “Even with nine minutes left to play I’m not thinking we won this game,” Amol-lobietta said. “The thought starts getting in that we just might do this. We were playing well, limiting their opportunities.” After the Lady Lions scored the first tally at the nine -minute mark, Amollobietta told his team to settle down and play smart.Two minutes later, West Islip struck again, this time off a corner kick. “In the last 10 seconds, everyone was expecting to go to overtime,” Amollobietta said. “So many other teams would not have been as composed as West Islip. They kept playing their game and maintained their focus.”Thompson and Jessica Wyckoff scored goals for Sachem in the first 10 minutes of the

game, but the Arrows couldn’t hold on down the stretch. For Sachem, Viscardi and Mc-Nulty were the key ingredients to the team’s playoff success. Both were instrumental when it was necessary.“[Erin] made saves where we thought it was already in the net, but somehow she got a hand on it,” Amollobietta said. “Cat missed a few games, but really caught fire in the playoffs. She had some tremendous individual efforts on the field that led to goals.”Though Pandolf missed a significant amount of time in the regular season

due to a hip injury, she came up clutch in the post-season, as well. Sachem graduates five seniors from this year’s team, four of which had major starting responsibilities.

A roundTo w nroundTo w nSpacesDesigning for Holiday EntertainingBy Maria Saperstein, Interior Designer If you are like most people, you do a little entertaining around the holidays. Whether

or not you are hosting Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve or Christmas Day, it’s always nice to invite friends and neighbors over for a holiday drink and see the tree. For some of us, it is the only time we get together with distant relatives, co-workers and friends we don’t see much of during the calendar year. Have you noticed that certain family and friends always have excuses not to attend your gatherings? They decline not just for holidays but barbeques and social events. Don’t take it personally. Most likely it isn’t you or your party throwing abilities. It just may be your living environment. Most homes are designed to meet the resident’s daily needs. What about visitors? Is your home guest friendly? Here are some ideas to accommodate holiday callers and make them feel very comfortable in your home. Make room. We have babies. Babies require stroll-ers, pack and plays and larger diaper bags fi lled with pajamas and bottles. Clear away expensive knick knacks, silk pillows and large breakables. We have toddlers. They want to pick up and touch anything and everything. Parents cannot relax and enjoy

themselves if they are living in fear that their children are going to cause damage to your home. If you have a bathroom on the main fl oor, be sure to have pump soap, fresh towels, air freshener and other needs visible. Remove any prescription medications

in reach or put a temporary lock on your medicine cabinet. Leave the door open and the light switch on. People like to get a breath of fresh air. Is there a smooth transition to your backyard, patio or deck so

they can enjoy both the indoor and outdoor areas of your home? Set up a bench or other seating outside your front door. A house can get stuffy when fi lled with guests and the oven on. Stepping out for a cigar is the current rage. Your guests may smoke cigarettes. Have non-breakable ashtrays out. Although your family may be in good health, be conscious of elderly, handicapped or injured persons. Remove any area rugs, runners and mats to prevent the tripping of individuals with canes or walkers. Don’t add your holiday decorations to your current décor. To avoid clutter, tuck away existing accesso-ries and replace them with decorations. Have plenty of small snack tables on hand. When dining, stock up on paper items. Have a variety of regular, caffeine free and diet beverages available as well as regular and decaffeinated cof-fee. Non alcoholic beers and wines can be put out if necessary. Some people have dietary restrictions. A nice gesture would be to have sugar free cookies, lactose free milk and sugar substitutes. Make your holiday party appealing to everyone. Have a happy and safe holiday season!sesamestreetlive.com

By Rich Vatalaro

Welcome back.... So after reading about Windows 7 the last two months you’re ready to take the plunge. But rather than buy a new machine you decide to upgrade like I did. Origi-nally it was thought that you would need to buy a complete Win 7 DVD and not just an upgrade DVD if you were going from XP to Win 7. Or perhaps you had a hard drive you formatted and it has nothing on it. You may be surprised to discover that in Windows 7 there’s no difference between the “upgrade” and “full” DVDs and — just as with Vista — the cheaper upgrade version can indeed be used to perform a full install. But that’s just one of the many Windows 7 questions that abound. From what’s possible, to what’s legal, to what-on-earth-were-they-thinking, here’s the skinny on the ins and outs of Microsoft’s best OS yet. It looks like you can use the upgrade version of Windows 7 to install a ‘genuine’ copy of Windows 7 on any PC, whether it already has Windows on it or not. Why would anybody pay way more money and buy a full-install version of Windows 7 instead of an upgrade version?”Good question. So far, the only people who’ve paid for the full version of Windows 7 thought they had to buy it because they were running Windows XP. When they read that they couldn’t do an in-place upgrade from XP to Win7, they mistakenly thought they had to buy the full release. They got ripped off.Experience shows most people using the upgrade package fi nd that their new Win7 key validates immediately after the PC connects to the Internet. If you have a version of Windows running on your PC, start Windows, insert the Windows 7 upgrade DVD, and follow the on-screen instructions. (All of the usual caveats about fi rst backing up your data apply, of course.) If you wish, you can reformat your hard drive at the beginning of the installation process. This wipes out all the old data stored on the drive. In testing, as long as I started the Win7 installation from within Windows, the upgrade key passed validation. It didn’t matter whether the PC’s previous version of Windows had ever been validated as “genuine” or not. If you don’t have Windows running — for example, if you’re installing the OS on a new hard drive — boot from the Win7 upgrade DVD and follow the on-screen instructions. Chances are good that Windows 7 will validate immediately, even if there was no copy of Windows on the drive beforehand. If you type in the validation key and see a message stating, “The product key is not valid,” don’t fret. Go ahead and install Win7 without the key and plan on activat-ing the OS later. Remember that you can run Win7 up to 120 days without activating it, Remember to keep those e-mails coming with any questions you may have or topics you would like me to cover. Simply send an email to: [email protected]. Until next month...thank you, Rich Vatalaro

Who We are...

Assemblywoman Fields attended a Marine Resources Field Tour with New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) Bureau of Marine Resources (BMR). Executive staff and Legislators participated in the extensive tour that covered the marine coastal district from Shinnecock and West Hampton Dunes to Captree State Park in Babylon . Assemblywoman Fields observed the Shellfi sh Transplant Operation, which harvests

hard clams from the marginally polluted waters of Raritan Bay off Staten Island and relocates them to certifi ed waters for bacterial cleansing and eventual marketing as a food product. This program represents a signifi cant economic benefi t to the shellfi sh industry and the State. Aboard the boat and on the bay she witnessed seine netting to survey fi sh that spawn and grow in LI waters. Assemblywoman Fields discussed environmental issues such as harmful algal blooms which affects eelgrass and shellfi sh populations with knowledge-able staff. The day concluded with a tour of the Captree State Park Boat Basin in Babylon , the largest fi shing port in NYS and entire eastern seaboard. DEC Commissioner Pete Grannis was impressed with Captree and referred to the park as a “jewel.” Captree is a tremendous tourist attraction and is a great source of revenue for the State of New York and the recreational fi shing industry.
