(By Maryann Ward)
Last month, the Church of St. Rocco became the first parish on Long Island to introduce an innovative votive candle system, the St. Killian Candle System. Approved by the Pastor and the Par- ish Council, the new votive candles are “green-friendly” – much cleaner and saf- er than the traditional candles – and also cost-effective! It provides the aesthetic pleasure of natural candle light with the safety and low-maintenance benefits of electric systemS… This new smoke- less candle system was first installed in the United States in New York City’s St. Patrick’s Cathedral two years ago. The Ireland-based company, which has been installing this environmental-friendly system throughout Europe, is very happy to have a presence here “on the other side of the pond.” ….. Do stop by St. Rocco Church anytime (perhaps during the up- coming BEST FEAST IN THE EAST) and light a candle to your favorite Saint. The Church is the home of over 45 of them!

Page 10 Gold Coast Gazette Week of August 1, 2013 Connolly Fourth-Graders Immersed in History
Fourth-graders at Connolly Elemen- tary School brought historical characters to life in a special presentation that served as the culminating activity for their study of historical biographies. Students in Erin O’Beirne and Valerie Scicchitano’s class worked in pairs, researching information and gathering pictures on their assigned historical figures, which ranged from Abraham Lincoln, Thomas Jefferson and Alexander Hamilton to Sojourner Truth and Deganwidah of the Iroquois Nation. Prior, the students had learned about his- torical icons that fought for civil and hu- man rights during the past 1,000 years up to the 1800s, including the Great Law of Peace from the Iroquois. Using their research and the iMovie video editing application, and dressing in costume as their assigned figure, each group created a narrated documentary for their presen- tation. The project, which aligned with the Common Core Learning Standards, em- phasized reading, writing and core social studies components that entirely support and supplement the students’ regular classroom curriculum.
Students at Connolly Elementary School in Glen Cove bring life to their historical biographies during a special presentation to parents on May 16. The fourth-graders worked in pairs or small groups to research historical figures who fought for civil or human rights.

How the cookbook club works: Three cookbooks will be selected and put on display at the reference desk at the Gold Coast Library. You can pick a recipe that piques your interest (or taste buds). A Post –it note with your name will be used to mark the recipe in order to keep track of who is making what and also to keep members from choosing the same dish. Before you leave, a member of the library staff will make a copy of your recipe for you to take home. Prepare your recipe, and then bring it to the meeting to share with the other participants. It’s that simple. If you are interested in joining, stop by the library to register. The book club is free and open to Gold Coast and Non-District Residents.

Glen Cove Youth Bureau presents…YOUTH, NEWS & VIEWS Aladdin Jr. Comes to the Robert Finley M.S
On March 8th 2013, participants of the Glen Cove After 3 Program went to see many of their fellow Glen Cove After 3 friends perform in the Middle Schools’ musical rendition of Aladdin. Because of their impeccable partici- pation, attendance and commitment to Glen Cove After 3, ten students were chosen to go see the play. The students enjoyed pizza and playing games at the Glen Cove After 3 office prior to the play. Our participants and staff arrived at the Finley Middle School at 7:15 p.m. and walked around the corridors outside of the Auditorium while waiting for the show to start. The environment resembled that of a professional play; there were merchandise stands and official playbills given out before entering the auditorium. The corridor was set up like the market places found in the Middle East, and seen in the movie Aladdin. The shops opened during intermission and sold Middle Eastern looking scarves, play swords and snacks. The kids took their seats anxious for the play to start, after a few minutes the lights dimmed and it began. The production of Aladdin was well done. The Obituaries scenery was beautifully built and painted to replicate the Princess’ castle, and the costumes were the perfect finishing touch. You could really tell the students Kevin Barry McCabe resa Spinello and Patty Patino. Uncle of put in many hours of hard work and dedication to give their best performance!
