Calhoun High School’s SADD(Students Against DestructiveDecisions) club hosted its annualHealth Fair on Friday, encouragingstudents and staff to commit to ahealthier lifestyle.
The Calhoun gymnasium was filledwall-to-wall with stations for studentsto try health-food options, differentexercises and activities, and learnabout their health.
Local businesses also donated theirtime to the fair, such as Vanity HairSalon – which is giving away a prompackage for a lucky high school studentwho wins its raffle – and local cosme-tology places such as European Wax.
Popular eatery Souper Fry had atable where it gave out free soup sam-ples, and Professionals AthleticCenter was helping measure students’jumping abilities with a special meas-uring tool.
Other vendors included Cross Fit,Synergy, La Mystika, Swirlz World,Olga’s Hair Salon and Hope Fitness.
Student-run stations included rhythmgaming areas for students to play phys-ical games such as “Just Dance,” whichshows how video gaming can be fun
exercise, and a make-your-own fruitsalad and oatmeal station.
Alongside physical health stationsshowing at the fair, there were mentaland emotional health stations as well.
A mind-teaser game was set up abooth, as well as a Gay-StraightAlliance booth run by the members ofthe GSA club at Calhoun.
Periodically throughout the day, agroup of student dancers would gatherin the middle of the gym and leadeveryone at the fair in Zumba, a pop-ular dancercise sweeping the nation.
“We brought in some new vendors,”said Keri Cinelli, the health teacher in
charge of SADD and the Health Fair,“and we added some new stations forwomen’s health, but we kept most ofit the way it’s traditionally been.”
With everything from drunk-drivingsimulators at the Community ParentCenter booth to professional mas-sages, the SADD Health Fair has onceagain promoted health and wellness inall its different forms.
Jacob Derwin is a Merrick Lifeintern from Calhoun’s SeniorExperience program.

More than a numberThe SAT tests, for which college-bound students spend their entire
education K-12 preparing, have been scientifically designed to deter-mine how well they will do at the university. Educators say if theyhave a good math background and have done a lot of reading of liter-ature, history and current events (newspapers and news magazines)they should do well.
Yet in an ever-more competitive society, so many take the test tak-ing strategy courses that promise to increase scores that not taking onemay be a disadvantage. Others spend hours memorizing the vocabu-lary that commonly appears on the test. But at least they do not startin grade school.
However, a new trend applying business principles to education,measuring outcome by test results, has created a monster, becausenow elementary school children are being tested on what they couldnot possibly know, then taught it and then tested again just to providethese measurements of teacher effectiveness, a policy which totallylacks common sense and can be very discouraging to the children. Ifthey react by giving up in despair, we lose. If they react by treatingthe tests as a joke, we lose too.
When teachers are forced to “teach to the test” they will be pro-ducing classrooms full of students who resemble sausages, all thesame.
They will not be nurturing individual talents. They will not be seiz-ing “teachable moments” that come when children express their natu-ral curiosity about a topic, and are open and excited about learning it.That moment is not easily recaptured.
What kind of classroom do you want for your child? You havethe opportunity to hear what local educators are saying about itsoon.
Wantagh Elementary School Principal Dr. Don Sternberg will beamong the panelists at a conference titled “More than a Number:How State Testing is Affecting the Educational and EmotionalHealth of Students,” on Wednesday, April 10, from 7- 9 p.m. atHofstra University’s Adams Playhouse in Hempstead.

12:44 p.m. on Thursday from the32-year-old son of Felice, 60, andCarolina Stanco, 61, saying he hadfound his parents dead when hecame to their home. He hadreceived a call from the employerof one of his parents saying theyhadn’t shown up for work.
Nassau County InspectorKenneth Lack told Bellmore Lifeand other reporters gathered out-side 202 Leonard Street, NorthBellmore, that Mr. Stanco shot hiswife Carolina with a rifle beforeturning the gun on himself.
Detective Lieutenant JohnAzzata, commanding officer of thepolice department’s HomicideSquad, told Bellmore Life that
interviews with people who knewthe couple revealed that Mr.Stanco may have been sufferingfrom hallucinations, such as peo-ple following him.
It could not be acertained bypress time if Mr. Stanco was pre-scribed medication to resolve thehallucinations, or whether anymedication at all had been pre-scribed. It could not be learned ifMr. Stanco suffered from halluci-nations before.
Det. Lt. Azzata confirmed thatthe couple had had dinner withtheir children – their son as well asa daughter – the night before themurder-suicide. 202 LEONARD STREET was the scene of a fatal shooting.

Woman sentenced in ex-husband’s death A North Bellmore woman was sen-
tenced to seven years in prison afterpleading guilty to stabbing her ex-husband to death during an argumentin November 2011, and then dumpinghis body on the Wantagh bike trail.
Nancy Boland, 57, pleaded guilty toevery charge against her in January,including to Manslaughter, AggravatedCriminal Contempt, CriminalContempt, three counts of TamperingWith Physical Evidence, and CriminalPossession of a Weapon. The DA’soffice recommended a 12-year prisonsentence at the time of her plea.
Nassau County District AttorneyKathleen Rice said that in the lateevening of November 16, 2011, Ms.Boland and her ex-husband, WalterBoland, with whom she still lived onWaltoffer Avenue, got into an argu-ment that escalated when she allegedthat he threatened her with a sharp-bladed instrument.
Ms. Boland said that she grabbed itout his hand and stabbed him with itonce in the abdomen, driving itupward and four inches deep.
Ms. Boland, against whom her ex-husband had a valid order of protection,
told police that he refused to be taken tothe hospital, and that she left him athome to go to work the following day.
When she returned home, she foundthe victim unresponsive. After dress-ing him and attempting to feed him,she concluded that he was dead butwaited until after dark to drag hisbody to her mother’s car. She dumpedhis body on the Wantagh StateParkway bike path north of SunriseHighway, where it was found by ajogger in the early morning ofNovember 18, 2011, the DA said.
After stabbing the victim, Ms.
Boland told family, friends and co-workers that he had stormed off afteran argument and hadn’t returned.When his body was discovered, shetold them that she was worried itmight be her ex-husband, the DA said.
“This was not self-defense and itwas no accident. Nancy Boland killedher ex-husband, dumped his body onthe side of the road, and then lied toanyone who asked,” Ms. Rice said.
“No matter how thoroughly sheattempted to cover her tracks, shecould not hide from what she haddone,” the DA concluded.

With 140 Nassau County house-holds still relying on the FederalEmergency Management Agency’sTransitional Sheltering Assistance(TSA) program for a place to live,and 18-and-more county residentsrecently registered for FEMA assis-tance for the first time in one day, theagency has approved two-and-a-week extensions for both activities.
The TSA extension will allow eligi-ble survivors of superstorm Sandywho cannot return to their homes tostay in participating hotels untilSunday, April 14.
The FEMA registration extension willallow new registrants to file untilSaturday, April 13, for rental assistanceand home repair, assistance such astransportation, medical and funeralexpenses, and to apply for a small busi-ness loan at 1.68% for up to $200,000 tohelp with more substantial home repairsan personal purchases.
The TSA extension was approved
to help those applicants still eligiblefor the program to remain in hotels asFEMA and its state and local partnerswork to identify longer-term housingsolutions.
FEMA continues to work in coordi-nation with state, local and voluntaryagency partners to assist applicantsthrough outreach and comprehensivecasework to identify and transitionthem to more suitable temporary orlong-term housing.
In addition to $200,000 in small-business loans for homeowners, byregistering renters can still apply forup to $40,000 to help replace person-al property. Businesses and nonprofitorganizations may be eligible to forup to $2 million to repair or replacestorm-damaged property.
Homeowners are also eligible toapply for an Increased Cost ofCompliance (ICC) grant of up to$31,900 toward elevating a house toFEMA specifcations.
Flood insurance premiums arethought to be going up for waterfronthomes because of increasing costsrelated to increased severe stormdamage brought by more frequentstorm events.
Raising a home to FEMA specswill reduce flood insurance costsbecause of the reduction of risk in the
face of more frequent storms.But getting an ICC grant could take
up to several months while getting asmall business loan may only takeseveral weeks toward fixing a home.And ICC grants cannot be used to paydown small business loans.

Man convicted of North Bellmore home invasionA jury has convicted Carlos Segura,
30, of Brooklyn of burglary, robberyand assault for his role in a violenthome invasion in North Bellmore,Nassau County District AttorneyKathleen Rice announced.
Defendant Segura was convicted ofsix counts of Robbery, four counts ofBurglary, two counts of Assault, threecounts of Unlawful Imprisonment,and Escape. He faces up to 25 years inprison at his May 7 sentencing.
DA Rice said that at approximately8:30 a.m. on September 19, 2011,defendant Segura and two other men,Gustavo Arroyo and Eduardo Cruz,exited a vehicle being driven by DarioGuerrero and approached a NorthBellmore home.
Mr. Cruz entered the home through
the unlocked front door and beganbeating a female resident before sig-naling to defendants Segura andArroyo to come inside.
Mr. Segura, armed with a gun, andMr. Cruz and Mr. Arroyo, both armedwith knives, tied up three residents ofthe home and began to search formoney. A fourth resident who lived inthe home’s basement was also tied upbefore having his cell phone and $350stolen from him.
During the course of the robberyresident of the home, who had beenout during the robbery, returnedhome. When he attempted to open thefront door, Mr. Arroyo grabbed himand tried to pull him inside. The maleresident broke free of Mr. Arroyo andran from the house into the street
screaming for help, the DA added. The three defendants fled the house
and got into the waiting car beingdriven by Mr. Guerrero. BellmoreLife reported that a good Samaritancalled police to provide details of thecar while following it. Nassau Countypolice officers were then able to pickup the fleeing car driving eastboundon Merrick Road into Merrick.
Upon stopping the vehicle onBabylon Road near Merrick Road, anofficer ordered all four men out of thecar and attempted to arrest Mr. Cruz,who resisted and refused to be hand-cuffed. Mr. Segura and Mr. Guerrerojumped back into their car and drovestraight at the officer. The officerfired at the vehicle, striking Mr.Guerrero in the left leg. Mr. Arroyo
fled on foot but was arrested a shorttime later, as was Mr. Cruz. Mr.Guerrero was arrested after a trafficstop on Sunrise Highway in Wantaghin front of Wantagh Ford, with a bul-let hole in the windshield. Mr. Segurawas arrested in a cab heading back toBrooklyn after a traffic stop on theSouthern State Parkway, the DA said.
Mr. Arroyo, Mr. Guerrero and Mr.Cruz, all of Brooklyn, are awaiting trial.
“This was a savage attack against agroup of people who barely hadenough time for breakfast beforebeing subjected to such violence,” DARice said.
“Thanks to the excellent work ofmembers of the NCPD and members ofmy office, however, this defendant willspend a very long time behind bars.”

Rock Underground fuels Battle of the Bandsby Kimberly White
Funds for the Midnight Madness post-prom event at Zachary’s Night Club inEast Meadow are being provided by theBattle of the Bands event created by theCommunity Wellness Council and TheRock Underground in Bellmore.
Emilio Manzo, president of the theWellness Council, told this newspaper heapproached The Rock Underground onBedford Avenue to help get the event started.
Since funds this year have provenharder to come by to sponsor the post-prom event, Mr. Manzo asked Steve
Eplan, co-owner of the RockUnderground, to get local bands to attendthe event and to make it a success.
To add diversity, Mr. Eplan contactedlocal bands of all ages to compete in thebattle of the bands. There was no agelimit to which bands could compete andwhich could not. County Legislator DaveDenenberg suggested a diversity of bandsin order to attract different tyes of music.
Mr. Kaplan said 11 bands will becompeting, from middle school studentsto adults. The bands attending willinclude Kamelot, Platypus, BakedGoods, Still Life and Exit Strategy. All
members of the local community andschools include those from MephamCalhoun and Kennedy High Schools,and Merrick Avenue Middle School.
All the bands are well experiencedand have played at local locations in theBellmore-Merrick community, such asschool events organized by high schoolsin the district, and charity events.
The event will feature three guestjudges who are all musically involved inone way or another. One judge isRichard Gilley, the band teacher over atMerrick Avenue Middle School. JoeRock, the DJ of the WBAD radio sta-
tion, will be the MC of the event. The event will take place at Brookside
School on Meadowbrook Road onFriday, April 19. Doors open at 6 p.m.and the first band goes on stage at 7 p.m.
For information or to purchase $10tickets, stop by the CommunityWellness Council at the BrooksideSchool on Meadowbrook Road in NorthMerrick or The Rock Underground onBedford Avenue in Bellmore.

22 SEPTA members to meet on
future benefits preparationby Wendy Tepfer
For parents of children with specialneeds, the future can hold much uncer-tainty. Autism and other developmentaldisabilities are on the rise, meaning thata growing number of children willrequire lifelong care.
In light of the deep cuts made to spe-cial needs funding at state and federallevels, it’s important that families prop-erly prepare for the future. Parents can-not rely on government aid alone to pro-vide for their children’s well-being, andexpert advice has become crucial to safe-guarding assets and benefits.
On Thursday, April 25, at 8 p.m. theBellmore-Merrick Central High SchoolDistrict, in conjunction with Bellmore-Merrick SEPTA and Community ParentCenter (CPC), will host the workshopHow to protect your child legally andfinancially, offered by Andrew Cohen,Esq. and Mitch Weisbrot, CLU, thataddresses eligibility for government bene-fits, guardianship, estate planning and sup-
plemental needs trusts. Mr. Cohen and Mr. Weisbrot are fathers
of children with disabilities who frequent-ly lecture together on the subject of dis-abilities. In addition to being a member ofthe New York State Bar Association, Mr.Cohen is a charter member of theAcademy of Special Needs Planners andreceived Exceptional Parent magazine’sMaxwell J. Schleifer DistinguishedService Award at Citi Field in May 2010.
Mr. Weisbrot is a charter member ofNorthwestern Mutual’s Special StepsProgram and a member of Sid JacobsonJewish Community Center’s SpecialNeeds Advisory Committee.
The seminar, How to protect your childlegally and financially, will be held in theB169 room at Calhoun High School, 1786State Street, Merrick. For information, callCheryl Gitlitz, LCSW, at 992-1349.
