North Bellmore Junior Skaters Join Olympians and National Champions on the Ice in Heartwarming Holiday Show
Nassau County Steps-Up to Host Event as the Original Venue, Brooklyn’s Abe Stark Rink, Damaged by Hurricane Sandy
NEW YORK – Holiday Dreams on Ice, Presented by JEGS, an Olympic Ice Show starring two-time Olympian Johnny Weir and Long Island’s own Olympian Emily Hughes is skating into Long Island’s Christopher Morley Park in Roslyn on Sunday, December 16, at 7:00 pm. In addition, nearly two dozen young skaters from Long Island will appear in the show including Sydney Mason (age 11) from North Bellmore.
The show also features Olympian, U.S. National Champion and World Bronze Medalist Nicole Bobek, Two-Time U.S. National Bronze Medalist Ross Miner, Ice Dancing U.S. National Bronze Medalists Madison Hubbell and Zach Donahue, U.S. Junior National Champion and World Junior Medalist Jason Brown, U.S. Junior National Champion Max Aaron and National Competitor Samantha Cesario. The heartwarming and entertaining holiday show will offer young skaters from the area the chance to skate in the show on the same ice as their Olympic heroes. Ticket information is available at www.HolidayDreamsOnIce.com.
The show was initially scheduled for Abe Stark Rink in Brooklyn. But, due to damage caused by Hurricane Sandy, the facility was unable to play host to the show. Nassau County, behind the leadership of County Executive Ed Mangano and Parks Commissioner Carnell Foskey stepped-up to provide the show promoters with a facility to ensure that the show will go on.
Aspiring skaters, ages 5-16 interested in joining the cast for the show are invited to participate in Holiday Dreams on Ice by signing up at www.HolidayDreamsOnIce.com. All levels of skaters are welcome to have a chance to be a part of an Olympic Ice show and meet the stars.
“We thank County Executive Mangano and Commissioner Foskey for helping bring this show to the people of Nassau County,” said Tara King, president of Fireworks Sports Marketing and the Executive Producer of Holiday Dreams on Ice. “Olympic dreams start every day at ice rinks around the world. Thanks to them, maybe our next Olympian will make their debut performance at Holiday Dreams on Ice.”
Johnny Weir, a 3-time US champion, 2-time Olympian, and World medalist, is one of the superstars of figure skating and an emerging pop-culture icon. He is the start of his own reality TV series Be Good Johnny Weir on the Logo Network. Emily Hughes is a native of Great Neck, NY and was a member of the 2006 U.S. Olympic team. She is the younger sister of 2002 Olympic Champion, Sarah Hughes. Emily graduated from Harvard University in 2011.
“Performing on Long Island is always special for me because it’s my home,” said Hughes. “Johnny, the entire cast and I look forward to getting Long Islanders into the holiday spirit with this fun, family show.”
Kennedi Coughlin is one of the young skaters participating in the show: "I am so excited to come to New York City to spend this Christmas with all of my skating role models! It’s a Christmas wish come true to share the ice with such amazing Olympic athletes!" said young Kennedi.

The NBUFSD BOE has not mentioned cutting bussing in over a year, it is not a part of the 2013-2014…Read More budget.
The pensions and benefits are not regulated by the BOE it is a state mandate.

Eliminating the CHSD is a great idea but it needs to be voted on by the citizens of all 4 districts…Read More . In BM we have 5 set of administration - North Bellmore, Bellmore, North Merrick, Merrick and CHSD . Pensions are a are a state and national battle NOT local

Well for starters, why not give candidates 401K's and only pay a proportion of their benefits...Hire…Read More teachers and adm that actually live in our district...... Has anybody proposed dismantling the high school district......From the way I understand they have tried unsuccessfully to combine, well then how about saving moneu and splitting up the 3 high schools...This was we wont need 2 administrations...... I will try and I will think out of the box!

So Lu Scala never had any children so it might be safe to say you have never been to a PTA meeting…Read More or a School Board meeting or a budget presentation so then you would have no idea how the money is spent good or bad. I'm sorry that your neighbors make more than you but like anything else you get what you pay for there are educational requirements for teaching and administration jobs, I'm sure you would be happy if all the school personnel could be replaced by minimum wage earners or better yet we could close all the schools after all you have been out of school for 40 years so you don't need them anymore, but thats not how it works. Why is always the uninformed that speak loudest and longest?

A bit of a surprise considering kids come home with a supply list a mile long (and average $40-$75).
