Merrick Life Thursday, August 2, 2012 Page 2 `Way cool' Beach Bag Book Club meets author by Carissa Gagliardi The second Beach Bag Book Club of the summer, held last week at the Merrick Library, featured author Kieran Scott. The other scheduled Long Island author, Melissa Kantor, didn't attend due to an emergency. Kieran Scott is a veteran author of teen fiction books. Her most recent book is "This is So Not Happening" of the "He's So/She's So" trilogy. The teen romance trilogy, which includes the books "She's So Dead To Us" and "He's So Not Worth It," follows an unusual couple through the crazy time that high school can be. Ms. Scott describes the couple as "a boy from the rich side of town and a girl from the poor side of town." The drama continues in the third and final book of the series "This is So Not Happening" when the characters are forced to deal with a teen pregnancy and relationship stress. Ms. Scott said of the controversial teen pregnancy topic, "I wanted it to be realistic." Having attended in 2010, this is Ms. Scott's second appearance at the Beach Bag Book Club. She said of host Jen Calonita, "Jen does a great job" at getting a large crowd to attend the Beach Bag Book Club. Ms. Scott said that "teenagers can be spotty with attendance" to book discussion events, but every year the Merrick Library has a full and eager crowd. More than 20 teens were in attendance. She said that she writes for teens because "there's so much to explore, so much to write about" during that time in life and everything seems so much bigger and more dramatic as a teenager. Growing up in New Jersey, Ms. Scott said, "I loved to read when I was a teenager" and "I write what I would've liked to have read back then." Ms. Scott also publishes under the pseudonym Kate Brian, from which she's published the "Private" series and many other books. She said that she enjoys having two names, but joked, "I feel like Kate Brian is way cooler than me." The mystery "Shadow Lands" is her next Kate Brian book that comes out in January. Altogether, Ms. Scott said she has published over 100 books during her entire writing career. Ms. Calonita and Ms. Scott discussed book covers during the panel. They talked about what sells as a book cover and the struggle between both the authors' and the publishing companies' visions. Ironically, after the book cover panel 1287MA2706CF MERRICK'S TEEN LIBRARIAN Larissa Simonovski, right, and Pat Gleiberman, left, Bellmore Library's young adult librarian, with the authors. ended, attendee Bella Miller revealed that she was the model on the cover of Ms. Calonita's book "Belles." The 16-year-old model is from Chicago but was in New York for a modeling job. Posing for the cover of "Belles" was her first modeling job. Bella said of Ms. Calonita, "I've always wanted to meet her." Besides being on the cover, Bella is a big fan of the book "Belles" and said, "I love it. I felt like I had a lot in common with it. I couldn't stop reading it." Danielle Santevecchi, 13, of Merrick, who attends Kellenberg Memorial High School, won Kieran Scott's book "This is So Not Happening" in the raffle. She attended the Beach Bag Book Club because "I like seeing all the authors" and said it's interesting to hear how they come up with ideas for their books. Emily Cotter, 12, from Bellmore, who attends Grand Avenue Middle School, told this newspaper that she attended the Beach Bag Book Club last year, last month and this time "so I could meet the authors." She had read "Belles" and said it was "really good." She won Melissa Kantor's book "The Darlings in Love" in the raffle and said she's "excited to read it." Emily reads a lot "because I like to write stories" and hopes to become a better writer by reading. ooo BELLA MILLER revealed herself as the model on the cover of Ms. Calonita's newest book "Belles."

FATHER CHARLES MANGANO, the pastor of Cur� of Ars Church, greeted the parishioners and their families as everyone enjoyed the festivities. SMCCA begins clean-up At last Tuesday's South Merrick Community Civic Association meeting, the Friends of Cammann's Pond Park committee was formed to help with the upkeep of the local site. Joe Baker, president of SMCCA, explained that although the pond has been cleaned three times within the past year, it is not enough. "The routine cleaning is picking up trash around the park," said Mr. Baker, "not actually cleaning the pond." Because of this, Cammann's Pond is often dirty and unpleasant, he said. In April, the Boy Scouts organized a "Spring Clean Sweep," where they went on a canoe in the pond and picked up things such as bikes and shopping carts. Actions like this help keep the wild life of Cammann's pond intact, said Mr. Baker. Frank Camerlengo, the deputy commissioner of Nassau County parks, said he would help SMCCA by discussing with the county what it can and cannot do to the pond. For example, although it is the county's responsibility to take care of the weeds on curbs around the park, it is not allowed to use weed killer because it is a protected area. He said they will need to find another way to keep it clean. Another problem SMCCA noticed is that cars are allowed to park at the pond late at night. As a result, Mr. Baker said that the people in the cars, usually teenagers, throw their garbage out the window and make the park even filthier. To this problem, Mr. Camerlengo mentioned that people should not even be at the park because it closes after dark. Geese at Cammann's Pond are also considered problematic because residents often step in waste from the birds. Because the geese are protected under law, one SMCCA member recommended that people stop feeding the geese, which may decrease their population. Of the Friends of Cammann's Pond Park committee, Mr. Camerlengo said that it will be of great assistance to the county. � Leah Sobel CORN HUSKERS: Chris Loester, Kathy Kehl, Don Hansen and Joe Giello helped at the corn booth, a BBQ tradition. 8832JL3012ES Create a whole new smile! 27SP1205SI � Dazzling White Smiles with ZOOM (in-office) whitening and Opalescensce Take-Home (Bleaching) � Impression-less imaging and scanning for crowns and bridges � Porcelain Veneers and Lumineers (no tooth prep) � Senior discount, Insurances honored DR.

Next Tuesday is National Night Out, when communities across the country gather for fun and to get to know their law enforcement friends better. Around here, the Nassau County and Freeport police, together with other community organizations, are hosting a Night Out at Cow Meadow Park in Freeport, starting at 6 p.m. Gangs and teen violence can be prevented. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Police and their communities always need to know and work with each other. As they say, "If you see something, say something." And one way is for police to visit classrooms and become known and trusted friends of the kids. Another is to organize sports events for kids and teens to help them use their energy in positive ways and learn teamwork skills that will serve them in whatever jobs they choose. Where young people have hope of a good future, the lure of crime is less strong. Our police are doing these things and more to help build the character of law-abiding citizens. Neighborhood watch groups could always benefit from more young members, just like the auxiliary police and junior firefighters. And these young members can develop skills that could help with their future careers. For example, more than one young ambulance volunteer has become a medical doctor. National Night Out highlights the importance of community policing, work that goes on every day of the year. BATTLE OF THE BANDS: Kennedy High School alumni will be reconnecting generations through the magic of rock n' roll on Sunday, August 18, starting at 6 p.m. at KJ Farrell's, 242 Petitt Avenue, Bellmore.

Attorney at Law ON ANY REPAIR SERVICE WITH THIS AD! 8464MR2612ES Korean War Memorial is unveiled at local Vets Memorial Park by Douglas Finlay What began as a "police action" in Korea a scant five years after WWII finally received its own memorial on Saturday as a Korean War monument was unveiled at Bellmore's Veterans Memorial Park on Bedford Avenue. The memorial joins WWI, WWII and Vietnam War memorials at the veterans park near the Bellmore train station. "We're very pleased to finally be remembered," remarked Howard Plattner, commander of the Korean War Veterans Nassau County Chapter 1. "It's about time, after all," added Korean War veteran Dick Doster of Wantagh. Bernie Hoffman of Merrick, former commander of the Merrick Post 1282 of the American Legion, told this newspaper that Pat Yngstrom, Commander of the American Legion Post 1746 in North Bellmore, told him that Korean War vets weren't being represented by a memorial in their honor at the Veterans Memorial Park on Bedford Avenue. "I spoke to Howard [Commander Plattner] and he talked with Senator Fuschillo," said Mr. Hoffmann. Mario Dell'Aera of Levittown reminded Merrick Life that "Nobody knew it was a war" back then. It was called a police action initiated by the United Nations soon after the end of World War II. North Korean troops entered into South Korea and the U.S. went to its aid, via the U.N. When soldiers came home from the conflict � it was called a conflict, not a war � there was nothing made of their heroism, said Gene Marshsteiner of Levittown. Over 54,000 soldiers died in the conflict in just three years. There have also been 131 recipients of the Medal of Honor for bravery during the conflict."We appreciate their remembrance of us today with the memorial," he said. It wasn't until June 27, 2005, that Senate bill S.1512 granted a federal charter to the Korean War Veterans Association that met the requirements for a veterans service organization. The bill allowed veterans to get benefits for injuries sustained during the Korean conflict, even though Congress never declared it an official war and the conflict only ended by a cease fire declaration. The Korean War spawned household names such as "Pork Chop Hill," "Incheon" and "M.A.S.H," one of the most popular television programs. The comedy program portrayed an Army hospital attending to wounded troops in South Korea. When the difference between soldiers now fighting in Afghanistan and Iraq and those who fought in the Korean conflict was asked about, Commander Plattner said that soldiers today don't actually know who the enemy really is. "We knew the name of the people we were fighting," he said. "We were fighting the Communists." He added that soldiers today are often sent for second and third tours of duty, creating further stress on them. State Senator Charles J. Fuschillo Jr. spurred installation of the stone memorializing those who died in the Korean conflict. "This is older grant money that was available for this type of this dedication," said the senator. � With additional reporting by Janurie Ulett, a Merrick Life intern. Page 7 Thursday, August 2, 2012 Merrick Life librarylife FINALLY GETTIN' SOME RESPECT: Several members of the Korean War Veterans of Nassau County, Chapter 1, from neighboring communities gather around a new memorial stone at Bellmore's Veterans Memorial Park with state Senator Charles J. Fuschillo Jr., which is dedicated to those who died in the Korean conflict. The stone now stands among memorials for WWI, WWII and Vietnam War veterans.

Salesperson Merrick Life Thursday, August 2, 2012 Page 10 Taking advantage of the isle of St. Martin by Leah Sobel What is one solution to escape a Long Island heat wave? Go somewhere that is even hotter! That is what I did when my family and I went on a trip to St. Martin, a small island in the northeast Caribbean that is split into French and Dutch districts. While in this scenic destination, I stayed in a villa atop a hill overlooking the vast cerulean waters of the Caribbean. On the first of seven days in St. Martin, I went to a small island just a ferry ride away from the villa called Pinel Island. There, we laid on the white sand and swam with playful fish in a clear ocean. As an active group, we hiked across the island to search for more deserted beach. What we found was not quite a beautiful shore, but a magnificent view of huge waves slamming against massive rocks. On the third day, we climbed aboard the sailboat Scoobi Free for snorkeling and beach hopping. Although the waters were rough and our faces were green, we finally made it to the island of Anguilla, a place with gorgeous coral reefs for fish and divers to swim. We spent all day in the ocean, but once we saw a barracuda skimming the water, I was done snorkeling, and spent the rest of the day soaking up the sun. If there is one thing to know about the Caribbean, it is that all the beaches are visually exciting. On the Fourth of July, we planned a trip to Saba, a potentially active volcano with four small towns and seven different ecosystems. To get to this small island, we had to take a propeller plane that seated only 18 people. Because the Saba airport has the shortest runway in the world, the plane must make a very short and sudden stop as it lands. The ride was only 12 minutes long, but it felt seemingly endless as I closed my Introducing 20% OFF first time new service A Full Service Salon 2019 Merrick Road Merrick, NY 11566 516-868-0188 8645MY712ES eyes the whole time, wishing it were over.

Rick Cohen is the owner and one of four captains of the boat My Bonni V. Named after his wife, the 44-foot catamaran is Freeport's new water taxi and tour service. The boat sails passengers to and from Freeport's Nautical Mile and Point Lookout, and runs one-hour daytime and sunset cruises. With a maximum capacity of 28 people, the boat provides an ample amount of room to sit and view the breathtaking scenery. The taxi also has a designated "splash zone," where you can get wet-- boat traffic and large waves permitting. While life jackets line the ceiling, you probably won't need them since Captain Rick takes you at a relaxing five miles per hour. Mr. Cohen and his daughter Emily, 23, purchased the boat in March and started the service on Mother's Day. Since then, the taxi has been wildly successful and is booked solid on many nights. "Right now the one-hour tours are more popular, but the taxi service is slowly catching up" in popularity, said Mr. Cohen. Mr. Cohen, an Oceanside resident, chartered a fishing boat for eight years, and his family spent a lot of time in boats. "I've been on the water my whole life," said Emily, who is also the deck manager and crew. The Freeport Water Taxi is an innovative attempt to help eliminate the need to drive after drinking. Customers can call the water taxi to make the trip between Point Lookout and Freeport. The water taxi is "based on a no drinking and driving platform," said Mr. Cohen. "My other boat is down the canal and every Sunday I would see an endless parade of cars that represent a drinking and driving incident." The taxi's main purpose is to allow people to have fun and get to their destination in a sensible and safe way, he explained. The Freeport Water Taxi has quickly become known for its sunset cruises, which are generally booked. The trip, which starts at 7:30 p.m. every day, begins in Freeport and travels along the bay, giving passengers beautiful views of the ever-changing colorful sky from all sides of the boat. On Wednesdays, Rachel's Waterside Grill partners with the taxi and conducts a sunset wine and cheese cruise. The hour-and-a-half cruise, for $29.95 per person, includes wine, cheese and fruit platters, a dessert buffet and coffee. On Wednesday, Thursday and Sunday, the taxi runs from 3-10 p.m., while on Friday and Saturday people can board the boat from 3-11:30 p.m. Prices range from $7-$25 and the trip is free for children under three years old. The Freeport Water Taxi has privileges behind most of the restaurants on the Mile. They are able to dock and conveniently chauffeur customers to and from these restaurants, which includes The Schooner, Rachel's Waterside Grill, Bracco's, Tropix, E.B. Elliot's and more. Additionally, private charters are available Mondays and Tuesdays. Since the Freeport Water Taxi and Tours has been on the water, it has offered specials for the Memorial Day air show, the June Point Lookout fireworks show and for events such as RIDE, CAPTAIN RIDE: Captain Rick Cohen and daughter Emily on My Bonnie V., named after his wife. Merrick Life by Carissa Gagliardi Page 11 Thursday, August 2, 2012 Merrick Life birthday parties. Recently, because of high demand, the taxi started a service to pick up people from Long Beach and take them to Freeport. Mr. Cohen hopes to keep the taxi running until October and open in March for seal watching. Takashe Carroll and Tiffany Burke from Brooklyn, took a spontaneous drive out to Freeport and rode the water taxi on the hour daytime cruise. Ms. Burke said, "I enjoyed it, it was relaxing." Ms. Carroll added, "It was calming after a long day of work." They both mentioned they would do it again. This family-oriented boat service is the new way to travel around the bay. As a man from the corporate world, Mr. Cohen explained that he is going to be "retiring to" his boat instead of "retiring from" his corporate job. Lynn Karp � 516-659-2291 Lic.

There, we traveled through the rainforest for four hours, a place that looked like the movie set directly out of "Jurassic Park." Although it was humid and inclement, we had a lot of fun and I would absolutely recommend this oncein-a-lifetime experience to anybody who is looking for an adventure. That evening, while we were at dinner, we heard the familiar "boom" of fireworks. This just goes to show how welcoming and accommodating the people of St. Martin are to Americans. The next few days were spent relaxing at our home and frequenting the pool with the view of the ocean. During this time, we went to Marigot, the major city on the French side of the island, and did the majority of our shopping. Although the restaurants we went to were top notch, they were mostly empty because the summer is considered the off-season. While St. Martin is an island of tranquility and leisure, it is also a home to exhilaration and adventure. If you ever visit this multifaceted place, make sure to take advantage of each aspect as much as you can. policenews Police reports come from law enforcement agencies. Suspects are presumed innocent unless and until convicted in court. The Nassau County Robbery Squad reports a burglary that occurred on Tuesday, July 31, at 1:55 a.m. in Merrick.

Press release from GlobeNewswire (a Nasdaq OMX company)
FirstService Announces Normal Course Issuer Bid
Monday, June 04, 2012
FirstService Announces Normal Course Issuer Bid13:05 EDT Monday, June 04, 2012TORONTO, June 4, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- FirstService Corporation (TSX:FSV) (TSX:FSV.PR.U) (TSX:FSV.DB.U) (Nasdaq:FSRV) ("FirstService") announced today that the Toronto Stock Exchange (the "TSX") has accepted a notice filed by FirstService of its intention to make a normal course issuer bid (the "NCIB") with respect to its outstanding subordinate voting shares (the "Subordinate Voting Shares") and 7% cumulative preference shares, series 1 (the "Preferred Shares"). The notice provides that FirstService may, during the 12 month period commencing June 7, 2012 and ending no later than June 6, 2013, purchase through the facilities of the TSX or The NASDAQ Global Select Market ("Nasdaq") up to 2,550,000 Subordinate Voting Shares and 392,500Preferred Shares in total,being approximately 10% of the "public float" as of June 1, 2012 of each class of such shares, respectively. Purchases of Subordinate Voting Shares through Nasdaq will be made in the normal course and will not, during the 12 month period ending June 6, 2013 exceed, in the aggregate, 5% of the outstanding Subordinate Voting Shares as at the commencement of the NCIB. The price which FirstService will pay for any such shares will be the market price at the time of acquisition. During the period of this NCIB, FirstService may make purchases under the NCIB by means of open market transactions or otherwise as permitted by the TSX and/or Nasdaq, including pre-arranged crosses, exempt offers, private agreements under an issuer bid exemption order issued by a securities regulatory authority and block purchases in accordance with the TSX Company Manual. The actual number of Subordinate Voting Shares and/or Preferred Shares which may be purchased pursuant to the NCIB and the timing of any such purchases will be determined by senior management of FirstService. Daily purchases under the NCIB will be limited to 25,445 Subordinate Voting Shares and 1,000 Preferred Shares, respectively, other than block purchases. All shares purchased by FirstService under the NCIB will be cancelled. As of June 1, 2012, there were 28,703,560Subordinate Voting Shares, 1,325,694 multiple voting shares, 5,622,634 Preferred Shares and US$77 million aggregate principal amount of 6.50% convertible unsecured subordinated debentures of FirstService outstanding. FirstService believes that the Subordinate Voting Shares and the Preferred Shares may from time to time trade in a price range that does not adequately reflect the value of such shares in relation to the business of FirstService and its future business prospects. As a result, depending upon future price movements and other factors, FirstService believes that the Subordinate Voting Shares and Preferred Shares may represent an attractive investment to FirstService. Furthermore, purchases of Subordinate Voting Shares are expected to benefit all persons who continue to hold Subordinate Voting Shares by increasing their equity interest in FirstService. During the preceding twelve month period ended June 1, 2012, FirstService purchased for cancellation an aggregate of 336,000 Subordinate Voting Shares at an average weighted price of C$30.06 per share and an aggregate of 149,640 Preferred Shares at an average weighted price of US$25.00 per share.ABOUT FIRSTSERVICE FirstService Corporation is a global leader in the rapidly growing real estate services sector, providing a variety of services in commercial real estate, residential property management and property services.

Shortsville is a village in Ontario County, New York, United States. The population was 1,439 at the 2010 census.
The Village of Shortsville is in the southwest part of the Town of Manchester and is north of Canandaigua, NY.
Originally called "Short Mill," Shortsville began its existence in 1804 when Theophilus Short built two mills along the shores of the Canandiagua Outlet; the village was then incorporated in 1889.
Shortsville grew as a mill town and a number of flour, wool and paper mills were built in addition to Short's original flour and saw mills.
Companies that once inhabited Shortsville include Empire Drill Works, founded by Hiram and Calvin Brown in 1850 and operated until 1900, Shortsville Wheel Company, a manufacturer of carriage and automobile wheels, founded in 1889 and closed in the early 20th century, and Papec Machine Company, a manufacturer of farming implements, which ceased operation in the 1980s.
The first school in the village was built in 1807, a district school was built in 1911, and the Shortsville High School was completed by 1915.[1] The property where this latter building was located is now occupied by a building and field associated with St. Dominic Church, a parish of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Rochester.
Notable inhabitants[edit]
- Philip Bredesen, Governor of Tennessee, grew up in Shortsville.
Shortsville is located at 42°57′18″N 77°13′22″W / 42.95500°N 77.22278°W (42.955047, -77.222810).[2]
According to the United States Census Bureau, the village has a total area of 0.6 square miles (1.6 km2), all of it land.

What does Dame Helen Mirren think about Fifty Shades of Gray? "Well, the whips and chains are not my style," the respected British actress tells Jimmy Fallon, in an Elizabethan-period takeoff of Snow White on Monday night's Tonight Show. "But who doesn't love a jolly good spanking once in a while?" Mirren also manages to get in a mildly racy joke about Subway. To hear her views on legalizing pot, Sharknado, and other topics, watch "Mirren, Mirren" below. --Peter Weber
Due to the 4th of July holiday, there wasn't a new Last Week Tonight Sunday, but host John Oliver was nice enough to give his fans a little something to tide them over until July 12. In a web only clip, Oliver did the opposite of what he normally does — instead of covering one topic over 15 minutes in a deep dive, he looked at 15 topics in one minute for a series of shallow dives. He touched on everything from banjoes ("they're just guitars whose parents are cousins") to bagels ("donuts that gave up on their dreams"), and hinted that next week, it's very likely he'll be back to business, taking on the TPP. Watch the clip below (warning: there's a bit of strong language and some risqué images). Catherine Garcia
After Listeria was found in a sample of chicken freeze-dried patties, pet food maker Stella & Chewy's voluntarily recalled several products for dogs and cats.
The company has a full list of recalled dinners and treats on its website. "The health and safety of our customers and their pets is always of the utmost importance to us," Stella & Chewy's said on Facebook. "We are accountable for everything we make and highly committed to the quality and integrity of our products. We are working with the FDA to further investigate and quickly address the situation."
Listeria causes flu-like symptoms in healthy people, including headache and nausea, and can be deadly for children and the elderly. Stella & Chewy's says that there have been no reports of illnesses in people or animals. Consumers who have pet food that is part of the recall should throw it away or return the item to where they purchased it for a full refund. Catherine Garcia

For Carli Lloyd of Team USA, the Women's World Cup final game was one for the record books. After scoring in the third, fifth, and 16th minutes of play, Lloyd (#10) became the first player in history to score a hat trick in a Women's World Cup final. Her goal in the third minute was the fastest ever scored in a final, and she also became the first American to score in four straight World Cup games. "I'm so proud and so zapped at the same time," she told CNN. "It doesn't feel real. We just made history." The U.S. defeated Japan 5-2, earning their first Women's World Cup title since 1999. Check out photos of Team USA celebrating their big victory below. Catherine Garcia
Burt Shavitz, the co-founder of Burt's Bees whose face appeared on the company's packaging, has died. He was 80.
"We remember him as a bearded, free-spirited Maine man, a beekeeper, a wisecracker, a lover of golden retrievers and his land," the company said on its Facebook page. "Above all, he taught us to never lose sight of our relationship with nature." Shavitz co-founded Burt's Bees in 1984 with Roxanne Quimby, an art school graduate he met while hitchhiking. Quimby used his beeswax to make candles that she sold at fairs, and during their first year in business, the company earned $20,000, NBC News reports. Their most famous product, lip balm, was introduced in 1991.
The cause of Shavitz's death has not been announced. Catherine Garcia
A boating accident late Saturday night on the Ohio River in Louisville, Kentucky, has left two dead and three missing.
Donald Swinney, 52, and Mark Swinney Jr., 14, both died from drowning, officials said. The incident occurred as thousands gathered around the river for 4th of July festivities, The Courier-Journal reports. The pontoon boat hit a barge and capsized, authorities said, and four people, including three children wearing life jackets, were quickly rescued.
Because of river conditions, rescue teams have been unable to deploy divers to help in the search. The current is "extremely swift, and there's a lot of debris," Louisville Fire Chief Greg Frederick said. "It's challenging, even for our rescue boats, especially when you get close to the dam. You have to be extremely careful." The search will resume Monday. Catherine Garcia
At least 24 members of a family were injured in North Carolina Saturday when the deck they were standing on collapsed.
The group — with members ranging in age from 5 to 94 — gathered on the 24-by-12-foot deck of their beach house rental to take a family photo, authorities said. Five people are still hospitalized, two in critical condition. In a statement, Emerald Isle town manager Frank A. Rush Jr. said preliminary findings suggest the collapse was due to deteriorated nails on the 29-year-old house. "Although Emerald Isle is a busy and popular tourism destination, it prides itself on its 'family beach image' and 'small-town atmosphere,' and an incident of this nature affects our entire community deeply," he said.
The deck fell at least 10 feet, Emerald Isle Fire Chief Bill Walker told the Los Angeles Times. "It was basically a one-story house that was built on pilings," he said. Rush said no complaints have been filed over the condition of the home, and state law says it is the responsibility of a rental property owner or manager to routinely inspect their properties.

Put Ghost on Another Island
Make your pygmies into ghosts by going to the graveyard island and killing them. Then go to the map and go to any other island. I think most of them work. Then you have ghosts on another island! Sometimes you can also do the same thing with the fish.

Maryland Senior
40: 4.77
Does a good job filling vs. the inside run at the point of attack and can make the stop there. Can take on lead blockers at the point of attack. Does his best work when he's attakcing upfield and/or downhill in pursuit and is rarely out of position vs. the inside run. Shows some burst upfield as a blitzer and can shoot gaps to make stops in the backfield.
Lacks speed and range and doesn't play as fast as he times. Gets stuck in traffic when trying to make plays in pursuit, and rarely makes stops outside the hashmarks. Gets beat to the corner and will miss stops in pursuit because he'll overpursue and take bad angles in space. Not a sudden athlete and lacks burst to close on the ball in space. Looks stiff in coverage and misses assignments because of lacking awareness. Doesn't get good depth in zone coverage and struggles to cover the middle of the field in man.
Wujciak is a good two-down run defender that fits well inside in a 3-4 scheme. But his lack of speed and range will limit him at the next level and he'll be a pure reserve. He was a three-year starter after missing his redshirt freshman year with a knee injury. He was very productive, leading the team in tackles all three years. He combined for 381 tackles, 22 for loss, 2.5 sacks, 4 INTs, and 9 PBUs in that span. His last name is pronounced: "woe-jack."
For 3-4 teams looking for big, tough, hard-nosed run defenders inside, Wujciak can fit. He can definitely add depth. If he can improve his awareness in zone coverage, he might be a functional stopgap starter for a game or two. But his upside long-term as a starter is limited, unless you want him to be a poor man's Matt Wilhelm. He's tough and smart enough run defender that if he plays beside a rangy run stopper in the middle of a 3-4 defense, he can be an adequate complementary starter. But he won't hold onto that job for long because eventually the team will try and add or develop a more athletic guy that can make more plays. If he can perform early on specail teams, then I think he can stick long-term as a reserve in the pros. But his value will largely be based around his special teams prowess because his upside on defense is very limited beyond above average depth. And that caliber of depth isn't likely to develop until three or four years down the line when he gets comfortable in a system.
Wucjiak is a bad fit in Atlanta because of his limited range and potential to make plays in space and coverage. He's just not good or comfortable enough to be effective in any role in a 4-3 scheme.
He's not worth drafting because of his limited upside, but is good enough to make an NFL roster as an undrafted free agent.
