The only difference is the name, it's now called F.Stop 2008, the Discover Sayville Photo Contest! With well over 100 entrees last year it was a tough decision, but we found three ... michael@discoversayville.com (Michael Wikan) Arts http://www.discoversayville.com/news/arts/2008-fstop-call-for-entries/ Sun, 05 Oct 2008 11:23:06 MST http://www.discoversayville.com/news/arts/sayville-seven-picked-for-nyssma-all-state/ Congratulations to the seven Sayville Music students and five alternates (listed below) who achieved All-State status as a result of the highest proficiency scoring during the NYSSMA festival last spring.

However, for several years now, pinwheels have taken on a new meaning. Thanks to the efforts of the Pinwheels for Peace Project, they are visual statements, spinning ideas and general thoughts about th... rob@discoversayville.com (Rob Van Wyen) Arts http://www.discoversayville.com/news/arts/art-students-join-pinwheels-for-peace/ Thu, 25 Sep 2008 11:05:43 MST http://www.discoversayville.com/news/arts/movie-review-the-forbidden-kingdom/ The fact that Li is still doing martial arts will come as a relief to those who thought he'd retired. As for Chan, we're not going to get too many more chances to see him this limber without special effects, so consider this a treat. Let's jump right to the middle of the movie and answer the burning... rob@discoversayville.com (Rob Van Wyen) Arts http://www.discoversayville.com/news/arts/movie-review-the-forbidden-kingdom/ Thu, 24 Apr 2008 16:10:08 MST http://www.discoversayville.com/news/arts/2007-fstop-the-results-are-in/ All we can say is SNAP (pun intended)!!! What a great contest. Thanks to everyone who participated, you made this a great online event. There were so many excellent photos submitted, it was hard to decide on just three. After hours of contemplation, we found the winners.

This grossly unfunny debacle is so poorly calculated, so embarrassingly dated and so amateurish in nature that it casts doubt o... rob@discoversayville.com (Rob Van Wyen) Arts http://www.discoversayville.com/news/arts/movie-review-book-of-secrets/ Wed, 26 Dec 2007 10:23:00 MST http://www.discoversayville.com/news/arts/movie-review-sweeney-todd/ Rich's Rating To promote this new Tim Burton musical, Dreamworks sponsored a sneak preview for "the goth community." This must have been both problematic (Did everyone in black get in, or were prospective attendees grilled on Bauhaus?) and trendsetting (Coming up: Sneak previews for jocks!).

One that spans over 580 feet long. Never did I expect that when I returned home, there would be a gallery opening in Sayville, as the nearest one was 1,300 miles south. Today was the grand opening and all I can say is that i... michael@discoversayville.com (Michael Wikan) Arts http://www.discoversayville.com/news/arts/wyland-galleries-opening/ Sat, 17 Nov 2007 18:38:51 MST
