Sayville Hopes for RepeatBy Chris R. Vaccaro Christian Dollers
Sayville lacrosse team put itself into Long Island sports lore by
beating perennial favorites Garden City in last years Long Island
championship. Now the hard part starts. His goal is to repeat and
he thinks its possible.
Playingwithayoungerroster,supportedbyAll-CountymidfielderDanMellyn-chuk,
who is the teams sole captain, Doller said the Golden Flashes
should turn heads. Sayville doesnt have to play Shoreham-Wading
River (April 28), Comsewogue
(April22)andHuntington(May6)untilthesecondhalfoftheseason,whichDolleris
pleased about. Itll give the team some time to develop before
theyre tested whole-

but to not get too crazy because not only would it make him ill,

Running with a Bad IdeaBy Kiersten Bartolotta When the new year
of 2010 passed, I remembered that I was turning 40 years old
thisMayandIstartedtocry.IknowIambeingababybutIwasveryunhappyaboutthe
prospect of celebrating this birthday. When I got over my
depression, I decided to do something about it. I wanted to
challenge myself and attempt to accomplish a
difficulttaskthisyear.Iwantedtohaveamemorableandexcitingyear.SoIcameupwith
a really bad idea. I decided to run a marathon and raise money for
a cause close to my heart, a cure for pancreatic cancer. Now,
running a marathon is not a bad idea. Nor is raising money for
pancreatic cancer research. These are not bad ideas FOR OTHER
PEOPLE. But for me, I must have been eating dark chocolate when I
came up with this monumental decision. I then informed all my loved
ones, totally committing myself and acting like I really could
run26.2milesandstillbealivetocelebratemy40thbirthday. To run a
marathon, one must train hard over a period of weeks. I had no
idea, obviously or I would never have made this crazy decision. I
soon discovered that the
longpracticerunsextendingoveraperiodof2to3hoursmademylegsfeelliketheyshouldbeamputated.Trydoingthiswiththeextra15poundsIjustcantgetoffmybody
(I blame the third pregnancy two years ago). Add three active
little kids, and a
husbandwhoworksalotandIbelieveIhavemanylegitimateexcusesforwatchingOprah
and eating potato chips during the day rather than training for a
marathon. Now, it is true that I was laid off from work last year
so some may say there is no
reasonformetobelazy.However,Idisagree.Haveyouevertriedtoexercisewitha2yearoldathome?(Icantgetababysitter-Iamunemployed!)Andpleasedontgetmestartedonjoggingstrollers.MymotherandIarestillnottalkingbecauseofourlast
conversation about those. She issued some allegedly good parental
advice, stating I dont understand why you cant just put him in that
brand new stroller and go for
aruneveryday.Itwouldbegoodforyouandhim.Howisthatgoodforme?Isntrunning7milesinanhourhardenough?Nowyouwantmetoadda30-poundkidanda15-poundstrollertothemix.Yes,youcankeepyourcarkeysandwaterinthatneatstroller

fanny pack
andrunbymyselfthenrunwithascreamingkidinastroller.Mysonwouldnevergoto
sleep for the ride like other kids as soon as the wheels start
rolling. I would have to feed him tooth decaying lollipops and
other sugar-laden treats to keep him quiet. Good for him, mom?
Training has been pure torture. I have been at it for about 8 weeks
with 10 more
weekstogo.YoucanseemerunningthroughSayville,usuallywithastrangepainedlookonmyface.Myrunningoutfitiscompletelyinappropriateformybodytype.OnlyOlympicathleticsshouldwearspandex.Irunatsuchaslowpace,somepeoplethink

looks like it is a lot easier. I will continue on my journey

a ride if I look like I am going to pass out. Bring Gatorade with
you when you travel through town in case I am low on electrolytes,
whatever that is. This is an accomplishment that I will complete
and hopefully live to tell about. Turning 40 is tough enough.
Competing in a marathon is even tougher. Is it worth it?

Sunrise Drive Brings Brighter Smiles to Children in the
Dominican Republic
Wondering what was with all those toothbrushes, toothpaste,
anddentalfloss thathadbeencollectedatSunriseDrive,Sayville School
District ? The answer was actually simple.Thanks to the generosity
of students, teachers, staff, and families at Sunrise Drive, the
Student Council collected dental-care items for children in the
Dominican Republic . These children, who live three hours up the
mountains in economically poor regions, have little resources for
general healthy hygiene, including oral care.The connection between
Sunrise Drive and the Dominican
RepublicwasmadewhenFourth-gradeteacher,Mrs.SharonDonnelly learned
that her daughter, Briana, a fourth-year nursing student at
theUniversity ofRhode Island,wasjoining a group from Intercultural
Nursing, Inc. heading to
that island nation. The mission of the nurse practitioners and
student nurses was to set up clinics and disburse medications to
the sick, as well as vitamins and other medical supplies that
promote good health.
Atotaloffiftypoundsonesuitcasefull,asallowedbytheairlinesofdentalsup-plies
was collected by Sunrise Drive Student Council and sent along with
the nursing students. Coincidentally, they arrived just days before
the devastating earthquake that
struckneighboringHaitimakingtheneedforsupplies even more crucial.
The Sunrise Drive community should feel a sense of accomplishment
for helping children in the Dominican Republic have brighter,
healthier smiles.

Designer, I usually speak to this
veryperson,theanswerperson,thegotoperson,andtheoneandonlyindividualwho
always knows what is going on. In other words, a Homemaker is the
CEO of thehousehold.
Inanylargefirm,thisjobcouldbeworthasixfiguresalary. Homemakers must
have a special set of skills.Not onlymust they possess ex-cellent
communication and organizational abilities, they work variable
hours including weekends, evenings and holidays. It is not unusual
for Homemakers to work under chaotic, noisy conditions. Frequently,

management are just some of the basic life knowledge implemented
on a daily
basis.Managingbudgetsandresourcesfairlyisaplus.Organizingsocialgath-erings,
screening phone calls, maintaining calendars and supervising
homework projects can be added to the list. A Homemaker is
indispensable. Now, this job may sound all too exciting and
glamorous, but there ismuchmuchmore! Youmay be hated,
temporarily.Youneedtobeabletodrive,very,veryfast without hitting
the curbs and make friends with the emergency room staff. The
occasional small gadget repair, clogged toilet and broken zipper

high entrepreneurial spirit, you can become a fundraiser or

growth. You become a nurse, teacher,

Having Fun While Raising FundsLocal educators in the arts let it
all hang outbyCaryMaya Sayville, Lands End Restaurant-According to
The National Endowment for the Arts studies in the arts is an
essential component of education. It believes that all children
benefit froman education in the artsas it provides them with
opportunities to create, perform, and communicate through various
artistic media. A dedicated group of local educa-tors gathered
recently to raise funds for an organization that supports young
artistic students, commune, dance, wine and dine together and honor
one their own. On the evening of February
27th,Sayvilleschooldistrictteachersandadministratorsenjoyedafun-filledevent
at a local sea-side eatery. Held at Lands End restaurant situated
on the Sayville bay, the soiree granted hard-working,
serious-minded educators the chancerelax,partyandletitallhangout.
Tonight were having a fundraiser
forSMBA(SayvilleMusicBoosterfortheArts), explained event
organizerChristine Nafaro. Were tying to raise money for the
students in the middle and high schools and were also going to
honor Neil Bernstein, the music chair
at Sayville high school for his years of service. Were getting
together to have a great
dinnerdanceandgettoknowwhatsgoingonintheSayvilleschooldistrict.
Prepared by Lands End staff, attendees enjoyed a lavish meal
consisting of marinated London broil and pork, french breasted
chicken with fresh herbs, salmon with onions and tomatoes, garden
vegetables, caesar and steakhouse salads, rolls and butter, a
celebration cake, coffee, tea, soda, juices, beer, wine and, of
course, a cash bar. Joe Calarco and Steve Agnofbak of After Hours

ample anatomy, Tiger Woods lack of morality, even managing to slip
in a comment about Jack the Ripper, most too off-color to report in
a family newspaper. One I can mention was his suggestion

State Wide Scare Of OldGeorge Munkenbeck on 1832
epidemicbyCaryMaya
Sayville-InJuneof1832therelivedonCherryStreetinNewYorkCityafamilynamedFitzgerald.Mr.Fitzgeraldwasatailorandonthewayhomefromworkoneafter-noon
the Irish immigrant fell ill. When he arrived home he discovered
that, not only was
hesickbuthiswholefamilywasaffectedaswell.WithintwohourshiswifeMaryandchildrenJeremiahandMargaretwereinverybadshape.Hearingsignsofextremeagonyemanating
from the home, concerned neighbors called the police and when
authorities
arrived they found the family so sick that they sent for medical
care. Their bodies had been shrunk. They didnt look human at all
but like some eerie mummies as theywere described atthe time. Their
skin was wrinkled, their tongues were dry, and their faces were
very pinched, a result of the extremepain.Youcouldhardly see their
eyes,which had started to glaze over. By the
nextdaythechildrenandMrs.Fitzger-ald were dead. Only the patriarch
of the family survived. So began the cholera epidemicof1832. This
story was recounted by histo-rianGeorgeMunkenbeckwhenhegavea
presentation to the Sayville Historical Society on one of the most
devastating and destructive waves of sickness ever to
hittheNewYorkarea.TodayImgoingto be talking about thefirst
incidenceofcholerainNewYorkcityandhowitaffectedNewYork,Munkenbeckex-plained.
It will touch on how it affected
usouthereandthewhole19thcenturyandputawholenewspinonhistory.
Presented at the Edwards Street site of the society, the lecture
covered a wide range of topics including the
his-toryofthenewYorkarea,thestateofNewYorkCityitselfinthe19thcenturyand,
of course, the catastrophic effect of the disease that took the
lives of thou-sandsofNewYorkersandwroughtsuch
havoc on the state.
MunkenbeckbeganhislecturebyreferringtothediseaseastheterrorfromtheEast.Heexplainedthatthemaladywasamysterytopeopleatthetimewhowereintotalshockwhen
their friends, families and neighbors started becoming so ill, most
dying within a few hours of being infected. He supplied a map of
the route the malady probably took to eventually wind up on our
shores as well. Sweeping out of India it quickly shot from Russia
to Africa, across the European continent and eventually started
slowly closing in on the ports around England, Germany, and France.
When inhabitants of those countries
emigratedtotheUnitedStates,thediseasemovedwiththem.
SometimesknownasAsiaticofEpidemicCholera,choleraisaninfectious,gas-troenteritis(aninflammationofthestomachandintestines)condition.Transmissioncanoccur
through sharing food or drinking water with victims and in its most
severe forms the disease is one of the most rapidly fatal illnesses
known. Symptoms may include a drop in blood pressure to hypotensive
levels and death may follow in as little as 18 hours to
severaldays.Fatalityratesarecurrently5%ofalltotalcasesinAfricaandlessthan1%elsewhere.
In most cases, oral rehydration therapy (ORT) is highly effective.
Safe and simple to administer, it replaces water and electrolytes
since dehydration and electrolyte depletion occurs rapidly in
sufferers. In severe cases the administration of intravenous
rehydration solutions may be necessary. Tetracycline (an antibiotic
used broadly to treat infections) is typically used as the primary

For She So Loved The SeaFriend Honors FriendbyCaryMaya
Eves Landing, Sayville-I had a dear, dear friend. She lived in
Sayville and we spent many summers down at the Sayville beach
together. We would bring food, books,
music,herpitbull-mixBlazie,andthethreeof us would have a ball just
soaking up the sun and laughing all our tails
off.NowImaJewishkidfromtheBronx.What do I know about such places.
The closest thing we had to going to the beach when I was a kid was
when the local police would come by and turn the nozzles on
thefirehydrantsandletusrunthroughthespray. But Evie was a Long
Island girl, raised in the boating community. We would lounge on
our blankets in the warmer weather and she would school me on the
way things used to be. How you could jump from boat to boat in the
old days and wasnt it such a shame things went so sour
forthefishermen.Shewouldlayattheshoreline, take a mud bath and
insist I join her. I tried folks, I really did. But, I dont know.
Just so yicky. I mean whales have to go to the bathroom too. But
Evie, well Evie
wasafishoutofwatertobesure.InfactshealwaystoldmeshewasamermaidandIusuallybelievedher.Sadly,onJuly17th,2008Neptunecalledherhome.ThedayaftershefoundherfinIwenttoourfavoritespotatthebeachwithapadandpen,intendingto
sit there, remember her, and write a poem in her honor. But the
closer I got to the beach the more I realized it was just too soon.
OntheafternoonofMarch20thofthisyear,thefirstdayofspring,Iwalkedtothatspot
with my acoustic guitar, a rock, pictures of two of Evies prior
canine companions,
two White Castle cheeseburgers, a bag of cheddar cheese popcorn,
two purple sneakers, a single Sonoma 100 cigarette, a cup of
coffee, an avocado, a copy of a poem I wrote for and about my
friend, and a shovel and shears and went to a special spot
tochristenEvesLanding,thenew-est portion of the Sayville beach. I
went to a pre-selected area by a small bush, cut away the brush,
dug a hole in the ground, ate one of the White Castles (Eves
favorite that she would forcefeedmeagainstmywill)then
buriedtheotheroneforEve,buriedthesneakersnext(agiftfromamutualfriendofours),
then put in the pictures of her dogs so she wouldnt be as lonely up
(hopefully) there, ate half the avocado, gave Eve the other half as
she lived for that food and planted the pit in the hole, lit the
Sonoma 100 then threw the rest in there
forhertofinishbecausebelievemeyouwouldntwant to be around Eve after
her not smoking for a year and a half trust me and no need to thank
me God (hopefully), I understand what you must have been going
through, spread some popcorn on top of it all, recited the poem you
will read at the end of this piece, wrapped it up pretty with a
ribbon and inserted it in the hole, plugged up the hole, christened
it with the cup of coffee, put the rock on
topandwroteEvesLandingonit,thensatdownandplayedtheRollingStonessongYouCantAlwaysGetWhatYouWantasEviewasarabidStonesfan.AndthuswasbornEvesLanding,aquaint
spot down by the bay where you can enjoy the surroundings with or
without the companion or companions of your choice. I still had
half a bag of popcorn left though. I had planned on walking to the
water and hurling it into the bay so Eve the mermaid could munch on
it. At the last minute however I thought to myself,
Youknow,thisdoesntfeelrightbeingstrictlya solo project. I should
involve at least one other
personsohereswhatIdid.Idecidedtoapproachthenextpersonwhocameintomypathandaskthem
if they would like to help me do something
totally, totally cool. A half an hour later a woman came by. She
was alone and when she appeared in front me I introduced myself,
told her what I had just done, talked a bit about Eve, and asked
her if she would like to participate in the opening of the new
beach by hurling the popcorn into the waves with me. She was
thrilled. We were both absolutely into it. But it turned out I was
wrong, She wasnt alone at all. Her daughter and her daughters
friend joined us and heres the magical part : those two were
hold-
ing leashes that sported the most beautiful Labrador puppies at
the end of them. The poocheswererunningaround,snifflingand bouncing
about when all of a sudden popcorn started washing back up from the
bay on the waves. They were ecstatic and ate all of it up like
champs. And thats how I know that, not only is Evie a mermaid now
but a really powerful and compassionate one at that. Ever still the
kind animal lover, she couldnt hog all the popcorn but insisted on
taking a deep oceanic breath and blowing back some through the
water, sharing some with her new friends. Just like she did with
Blazie and I when she still owned her land legs. Now Im not going
to tell you readers the
exactlocationofEvesLanding.Thatisbe-tweenEvie,BlazieandI.Butsufficetosay,if
youre ever at the Sayville bay and you notice an avocado plant at
your side and you hear a Rolling Stones tune traveling through the
breeze and smell a cheeseburger/popcorn scent winding through the
wind then, well,
youre in the right place. And if you squint your eyes and see
smoke rings bellow-ing out of the water in the bay, dont be
alarmed. Its just my chain-smoking mermaid
puffingawayfuriouslywhileshesmakingwavesintheocean.Justlikeshemadethemwhen
she walked among us.
FOR SHE SO LOVED THE SEA(ODE TO EVE)
I push this pen at oceans end for she so loved the seaOnly place
where found she grace, her truer self could be
I feed this page where moon moves wave for she adored the
shoreWhereshedreposewherewaterflowsandletherspiritsoar
I glide my hand where sand greets land for she lived for the
beachWhereshecouldland,letsoulexpand,herricheressencereach
I paint this prose where seagull crows for she felt safe neath
sunSo lose the pose and earthly woes and feel her battles won
But sea for me holds tragedy, black ocean built of tearsFor
mermaids gone yet I go on to suffer older years
So sit I lone, sad solo clone for early left so sheAnd pen this
poem near Neptunes home
For she so loved the sea- Recited and buried at the opening of
