May The Odds Be Ever In Your Favor

As you are reading this, I have already found out my first college decision. Hopefully, I was accepted. Unfortunately, the odds are not in my favor. As a college that accepts a fraction of its applicants, my dream school is certainly not a guaranteed acceptance for me. As you can already tell, I am not willing to divulge the name, as I am afraid to jinx myself. As much as I want to attend that school, the ball is in their court. Early last year, I developed my love for the college. Hopefully, this love is not platonic. I sent in my application over two months ago, on my birthday. I have been

stressing out over their decision ever since. As I am writing this, mile marker zero is less than eighteen and a half hours away. Next week, you will be hearing if I made it in or not. It was a scary road, going from a kid to an adult in just a few months. During the summer, I knew that the time was approaching; but as soon as September hit, my college application game was kicked into overdrive. Hopefully, I will never have to apply to another college again. With any luck, I have already gotten into the school I have fallen in love with. There is no doubt in my

mind that this school is right for me. If only the admissions officers could read my articles, they would know just how interested I am. All of my hard work will boil down to one of two words in a letter from that college. The first line of that letter will read either “congratulations” or “unfortunately.” Preferably, it will be the former, but everything happens for a reason. I will be content wherever I end up attending, even though I will never be able to shake that possible feeling of rejection. Stay tuned...

Long Island’s very own professional baseball team, the Long Island Ducks, were a big hit with patients at Stony Brook Children’s Hospital during a special visit for the holidays. Former New York Met Bud Harrelson, co-owner and Senior VP of Baseball Operations of the Ducks was joined by team mascot QuackerJack and radio station B103’s The Wiseman and Frank. QuackerJack, flopped

his way around the whole inpatient pediatric unit at Stony Brook Children’s Hospital on December 17th, bringing wrapped toys to hospitalized patients. Autographs were signed, photos were snapped and there were even a few glimpses of Harrelson’s 1986 World Championship ring, which he received while playing for the Mets. The visit was part of the Ducks’ annual Holiday Toy

Drive, where QuackerJack and team members deliver toys to children in pediatric units in hospitals across Long Island. The month-long effort resulted in hundreds of children receiving toys this holiday season. Popular to thousands of families on Long Island, the Ducks are members of the Atlantic League of Professional Baseball and play locally at Bethpage Ballpark in Central Islip.

As I prepare to host my very first holiday gathering – well, any gathering really – in my new apartment this Christmas Eve, I cannot help but reflect upon the many wonderful memories from past celebrations, most of which took place in the comfort and warmth of Grandma and Grandpa’s house. With the passing of my grandmother earlier this year, there was an immediate sense that this holiday season would be a bit different. So many years – decades, really – spent gathered around the big dining room table each Christmas Eve, of “helping” Grandma bake her famous Christmas cookies (basically watching and waiting and then sneaking a couple as soon as they came out of the

Ghosts Of Christmas Past By: Jamie Lynn Ryan

Ness (#55) and Radek Martinek (#4) along with goalie Kevin Poulin (#60), delivered toys, other gifts, and good cheer to the patients and their families. During the previous week, the Islanders took a break from the ice to go on a shopping spree to choose gifts ranging from board games to Barbie dolls

oven), of marveling at the gigantic Christmas tree and the beautiful decorations… of hoping that, one day, I would be lucky enough to have a house as beautiful and as full of love as Grandma and Grandpa’s. Well, my little apartment gathering may be coming together on a bit of a smaller scale, but the sentiment is the same. Any time family and loved ones get together to celebrate, memories are made – and preserved for future generations to appreciate, and add to. My only hope is that they are never lost. I was fortunate to have the opportunity to put together a project back in college for my Family Literacy class which asked us to illustrate one family tradition through words and photographs, providing details

and dialogue, recipes and anecdotes, creating a scrapbook of memories. I chose Christmas Eve and all the traditions that came with it for my family for the first 20 or so years of my life… from our traditional “table photo” taken from the top of the staircase, to my Uncle Al, also since passed, mixing the martinis as we arrived and, later on, after the first three or so courses of dinner, fighting with me for that last fried shrimp. How precious that project is today. By the time you read this, my little celebration will have come and gone, and with it, new memories made. Who knows, maybe one day it will become the stuff of scrapbook legend! Either way, I know I will have at least two angels watching over things to make sure all goes smoothly.

When it comes to natural gas pipelines, there’s no such thing as too safe. Delivering safe, reliable natural gas service to our customers is our top priority. Pipeline safety is something we take very seriously at National Grid. Even though most lines are buried underground, that doesn’t mean you can ignore them. Keep your family and community safe by helping to prevent gas leaks. Always call New York 811 at 811 or 1-800-272-4480 before you dig. Know the signs of a gas leak. We’ve added a spoiled egg smell that makes natural gas easier to identify. Look for bubbles in standing water, a white cloudy mist or blowing dust, which indicates that an underground gas line may have ruptured; or, listen for a hissing, roaring or whistling sound. If you smell, see or hear any of those indications, leave the area immediately, then call National Grid at 1-800-490-0045. Be smart and be safe. Know what’s below — call before you dig and know the signs of a gas leak. Visit www.nationalgrid.com for additional safety information.

Four professional hockey players from the New York Islanders played Santa on December 18th and scored big points with hospitalized children at Stony Brook Children’s Hospital. Leaving their skates and sticks at the rink, forward Eric Boulton (#36), defensemen Aaron

with the kids and signed autographs, took pictures and gave away those famous blue and orange team teeshirts. The Islanders even gave out ticket vouchers to some of the families, good for any date their children were out of the hospital and well-enough to attend a game. The visit was organized by the Child Life Program at Stony Brook Children’s and the New York Islanders. Through the Child Life Program at Stony Brook Children’s, professionals provide therapeutic, educational, and recreational activities to meet the unique emotional and developmental needs of hospitalized children. Activities include medical play therapy, games, arts and crafts, as well as specialized programs such as animal assisted therapy, music therapy, and birthday and holiday parties.

I can run on tiptoes and sneak around the house. And when you’re looking for me, I can be quiet as a mouse. I have no inhibitions and will run naked all around Wet and dripping from the bath, without a towel found. Do I embarrass you? It’s so much fun for me! I’ll do the most outrageous things when you have company. I dumped the garbage on the floor and put your makeup on the cat. And when I tried to play dress-up, I ruined your best hat. And then you cried in woe and asked me why? I told you “I don’t know” – I didn’t have to lie. How can I do all this to you? How can I be so bold? I know you love me anyway; I’m only two years old.

LEARNING ABOUT THE COMMUNITY - Recently, kindergarten students at Village Elementary took their very first field trip of the year to Once Upon A Treetop, a one-of-a-kind, interactive play “city” in Plainview. The children were able to dress up as veterinarians and tend to their pets, “cook” and serve meals in a pint-sized diner, “shop” for groceries at the supermarket, and so much more. The trip helped reinforce the kindergartners’ recent study of community and community helpers.

HISTORICAL PRESENTATION - On November 26th, the Hicksville Historical Society had its general meeting at the Hicksville Library with a presentation, Greater New York and Its Silver Jubilee: A Political History, given by Society Trustee Derek Stadler.

Pajama Drive

Students, staff and families of Central Boulevard School in the Bethpage School District have been donating new pajamas to the school’s annual Pajama Drive. Sponsored by Scholastic

Books, the drive benefits local families who are in need of warm clothing during the winter months. Scholastic will match a book to every set of donated pajamas. The drive, which has

collected more than 1,000 pajamas to date, was organized by secondgrade teachers Mrs. Pace, Ms.Tierney and Ms. Holt, who are pictured here with their classes and some of the donated pajamas.

GINGERBREAD PARTY - Students at Charles Campagne Elementary School in the Bethpage School District created gingerbread houses and trains to reinforce their fine motor skills. Parents joined students to assist in the creation of the houses and trains, which were made from graham crackers, icing, candy canes, gumdrops and various other treats. Pictured are some highlights from the event.

Naturally Lowering Cholesterol (NAPSI)—If living a healthier life is your cup of tea, you may be interested in an easy way to improve your health— using the natural antioxidant powers of tea. Almost half of all

Americans are overweight and have dangerously high levels of cholesterol. Heart attacks are still the No. 1 killer in the U.S. The problem is that high cholesterol and your risk may be greater than you

think. According to American Heart Association guidelines, the acceptable level of “bad cholesterol” is 30 percent lower than it used to be only a few years ago. This means that

millions of Americans, including those who never dreamed they were at risk, now are. Fortunately, there are natural, nonprescription alternatives for lowering cholesterol. For example,

heart-healthy products For more information such as TeaFlavin, an on TeaFlavin, visit www. all-natural, caffeine-free teaflavin.com or call capsule made from tea (800) 876-4332. extract, contain as much cholesterol-fighting power as 35 cups of green tea.

HOLIDAY OF GIVING - NuHealth/NUMC participates in “Holiday of Giving” event in Hempstead. NuHealth staff was invited to present information about health services to the community, such as bariatric surgery, diabetes, dental, ophthalmology, psychiatry, maternal-fetal health, and our Family Health Centers. They also conducted blood pressure screenings, and promoted their injury prevention program.

Money Management 101 (NAPSI)—Teens are more optimistic about their financial future but may depend longer on their parents, according to a major new survey. Teens also expressed concern over paying for higher education. Among the Teens and Personal Finance Survey’s key findings, conducted by Junior Achievement USA® and The Allstate Foundation: • More than half of teens think students are borrowing too much to pay for college, yet only

9 percent report they are currently saving money for college. • Nearly 30 percent have not talked with their parents about paying for college. • Nearly one in three teens thinks he or she will be 25 to 27 years old before becoming financially independent. • Teens are unsure about their ability to budget (23 percent), use credit cards (20 percent) or invest money (34 percent). • The majority of

teens (76 percent) still report the best time to learn about money management is in kindergarten through high school, but only 29 percent reported programs currently in place. • Of the 33 percent of teens who say they do not use a budget, 42 percent are “not interested” and more than a quarter (26 percent) think “budgets are for adults.” • More than one-third of teens are either unsure or think their parents

do not talk with them enough about money and budgeting. “From our findings, we can infer that teens expect to live with their parents longer. It is interesting to see this shift in teens thinking they will remain financially dependent on their parents,” said Jack E. Kosakowski, president and chief executive officer of Junior Achievement USA. Since 2005, the organization, in partnership with The Allstate Foundation, has helped more than

1.2 million students set personal goals about money and make wise financial choices. The program, JA Economics for Success®, also empowers students to develop, plan and set goals to help protect themselves from unexpected financial pitfalls. According to Don Civgin, president and chief executive officer of Allstate Financial, there is an urgent need for parents and children to broach the subject.

“Parents continue to be the No. 1 influence on teens when it comes to money,” he said, “so there is tremendous opportunity for family conversation.”

PEDIATRIC CENTER VISIT - Four members of the New York Islanders, joined nurses and hospital officials during their annual visit to the pediatric units at the Nassau University Medical Center. The Islanders visited with each of the children and their parents, bringing signed autographs and toys to help cheer the children up during their hospital stay.

Teens And The Internet: Tips For Playing It Safe (NAPSI)-It’s easy for teens to pretend they’re older than they are online, but it doesn’t mean they’re ready for anything the Internet can tharow at them. By monitoring and engaging teens about their online activity, parents can help them exercise selfcontrol, report problems— and make smarter, safer decisions. Even the best kids from the most loving families take risks and get carried away when socializing or gossiping with friends— and they don’t want you to know about it. Did You Know? • 65 percent of high school students admit to unsafe or illegal activities online. • 30 percent of teens have talked with a cyberstranger about meeting in

person. • 32 percent clear the browser history to hide online activity from their parents. • 64 percent post photos or videos of themselves online. • 73 percent use social networking websites. Tips for Reducing Risky Behaviors Be proactive. Don’t wait for a crisis to happen before addressing online safety. Remind your teen about rules and consequences, and stay engaged in the process. Other tips include: • Explore the Internet together. • Enforce ground rules and time limits. • Become their friend on social networking sites. • Learn about privacy settings and set them appropriately. • Trust but verify by

installing monitoring software on their computer. Trust, Monitor, Educate, Protect Knowing what they’re doing online is as easy as checking your own e-mail, with remote monitoring software such as eBlaster from SpectorSoft. It can inform you of searches for topics such as “depression” or “drugs.” It can also warn you if others are teasing them or daring your child to GNOC (get naked on camera). Whether you’re at home or at work, you receive e-mail reports and instant notification if they’re visiting inappropriate websites, spending too much time on Facebook or taking risks. For More Information To learn more, parents can visit www. SpectorSoftSoftware.com.

Following being called up to the NHL last week, New York Islanders “shinning” center Ryan Strome, along with defenseman Lubomir Visnovsky and Calvin deHaan, spent an afternoon delivering toys they personally selected in the pediatric unit at Good Samaritan Hospital Medical Center. The professional hockey players were friendly and personable, making the children feel special. “It’s so important when the community recognizes these kids

are sick, especially over the holidays,” said Good Samaritan Hospital’s Child Life Program Director Joan Alpers. “Having these star athletes spend time with the children certainly brightens their day.” Among those visited was Islander fan Travis Semcken. He shared his recent experience of being given a puck at an Islander game. The players were very taken by Travis’ spirit and enthusiasm for the sport. He will be attending a game in the near future compliments of the team.

“Visiting with the children is the least we can do. Being able to put smiles on the faces of these kids, even for a moment, makes it all worth it,” said Visnovsky. The players went from room to room, discussing sports, TV episodes, how often they get hurt in a game and whatever else the children wanted to talk about. For more information about Good Samaritan’s Child Life Program, call 631.376.4444.

Spread Cheer, Not Germs ARA - Stopping by the nursing home or hospital to spend time with loved ones is a ritual for thousands of Americans -but are you sharing more than smiles and hugs when you visit? “Your hands are the main transmitters of health care-acquired infections,” says Alecia Cooper, a registered nurse and senior vice president of clinical services for Medline Industries, Inc. “This shouldn’t come as a surprise, since your hands are constantly in contact with your surroundings -opening doors or dialing the phone, for example.” Two simple things can

go a long way toward ensuring that you’re not sharing bacteria along with your special treats -keeping your hands clean and making sure you are cleaning them correctly. Just as important is making sure you are covering the areas of your hands that are likely to have the greatest density of germs. According to a study published in the Journal of Clinical Microbiology, these include the area under your fingernails, your palms, the backs of your hands and the “webbing” in between your fingers. “Put a squirt of gel or soap in the palm of one

hand and dip the fingertips of the opposite hand into the pools before spreading over other areas, then repeat with the other hand and fingertips,” says Cooper. “It only takes a few seconds and you will be getting at where the majority of germs are.” Proper hand hygiene is one of the cornerstones in preventing the spread of infection in a health care setting. Even if the caregiver says they washed their hands right before coming into the room, don’t feel embarrassed to ask them to do it again in front of you. To learn more visit www. medline.com.

Best Pizza Program The award was presented to head cook Grace Mascoli, who uses a process similar to local pizza places to perfect her crust. Her award-winning pizza can be ready in four minutes and is made on whole-wheat crust with a

low-fat mozzerella cheese. Ms. Mascoli, who has worked with the Bethpage School District since 1988, is known at Charles Campagne for her exemplary cuisine.

Chapter Grants Awarded Autism Speaks, the world’s leading autism and science advocacy organization, announced today that it has awarded more than $250,000 to 54 local organizations through its 2013 Chapter Grants program which was open to all 11 Autism Speaks Chapters (Carolinas, Chicagoland, Long Island, National Capital Area, New England, New Jersey, Ohio, Southern California, South Florida, St. Louis, and Western Pennsylvania). Now in its second year, this most recent round of Autism Speaks Chapter Grants were made available through a contribution by Autism Speaks partner Toys“R”Us. The program is designed to promote and increase the field of local service providers in the 11 Autism Speaks Chapter markets and help improve lives of those affected by autism. The Long Island Chapter of Autism Speaks awarded more than $25,000 to 6 local service providers in the area including: Life’s WORC - Student Success Program Positive Behavior Support Community

Foundation - Big Time Glee and CLIFF Community Based Social Groups Valley Stream South High School - Social Skills Training Project Spectrum Designs Foundation - Expanding the Spectrum of Opportunities Kulanu Center for Special Services - Sunday Inclusion Social Activities for Young Adults with ASD & Other Disabilities NY Therapy Placement Services/NYT Kids Promoting Life-Long Social Skills Through Sensory, Motor & Social Groups Integrated in the Community Programs funded by this grant help expand existing programs to serve more individuals or create new programs that demonstrate innovation in providing services to enrich the lives of individuals with autism. Grant recipients were selected based on recommendations from each Chapter and local Autism Speaks volunteers. Recipients were awarded up to $5,000 addressing the areas of education, recreation and community activities, young adult/adult services

and technology. Funded programs include museum inclusion programs; iPads and SmartBoards for classrooms; mentoring programs with peers; training for Spanish speaking families; theatre programs; support groups and more. “With the successful launch of last year’s Chapter Grants, we were pleased to expand the opportunity this year for local service providers to help fund unique and resourceful programs that will benefit our chapter communities and add to existing services for individuals with autism,” said Cathy Kanefsky, Autism Speaks vice president of Chapter Development. All recipients of the 2013 Autism Speaks Chapter Grants can be found on the Autism Speaks website, as well as the searchable online grant database. All applicants have also been added to the Autism Speaks Family Services Resource Guide, as the organization continues to connect families and service providers with resources in their communities. Grant applications will be open again next year fall.

BRINGING CHEER TO PEDIATRICS - LI Ducks’ QuackerJack, along with Manager Kevin Baez, B103 personalities, the Wiseman and Frank and owners of PC Richard Appliances visited the Pediatric Department of Good Samaritan Hospital Medical Center in West Islip to celebrate the holiday season. They went room to room distributing toys, donated by the Richard family and collected through a toy drive at the ballpark. Among those visited was LI Ducks’ fan, 9 year-old Emma. QuackerJack and his friends put a huge smile on the little girl’s face.

COAST GUARD DONATION - Members of Good Samaritan Hospital’s Pediatric Emergency Department: Director of Nursing Education Dorri Bechtel, RN, Associate Director of Pediatrics Reethamma Daniel, MD, Child Life Specialist Nancy Kennedy, Laura Frost, RN and Nurse Manager, Emergency Department Christy Meyer, RN, accept generous toy donation collected by the Long Island Chief Petty Officer Association of the U.S. Coast Guard, coordinated by Petty Officer First Class Thaina Vasquez. Units across Long Island collected more than 400 gifts for pediatric patients and their siblings.

BOCES Consortium Students from across Long Island are taking Advanced Placement (AP) courses that were previously not available in their high schools. These courses – ranging from Macro Economics to Biology – are being offered online thanks to a $2 million grant from the New York State Education Department that was awarded to a Nassau BOCES-led consortium, which includes Eastern and Western Suffolk BOCES. During this first phase of the grant, more than 200 students from 15 districts are taking online AP courses that already exist. “West Hempstead high School is very fortunate to be a part of this progressive idea, which our students and staff can benefit from now and in the future,” said Ann V. Peluso, Assistant Superintendent for West Hempstead UFSD. “Providing our students with the

opportunity to learn from great educators around the state is a fantastic concept.” One of the things that excites coordinator Regina Moraitis is that this grant will allow a team of Long Island teachers to create seven new online AP courses that will be saved on the Nassau BOCES learning management system and will be available for school districts to use. “Nassau BOCES is proud to be leading a project that will make AP courses available to students who would not previously have had the opportunity due to low enrollment or funding issues,” said Moraitis, who is the agency’s Distance Education Services Coordinator. “Additionally, the grant ensures that students will have access to the technology needed to take the courses, by providing the districts with tablets and laptop computers.”

Teachers from Nassau BOCES and participating districts spent part of their summer learning how to develop powerful online content and planning out their courses. “This is an exciting and forwardthinking project,” said Chris Mangum, an Emmy-award winning Nassau BOCES teacher at the Long Island High School for the Arts who is developing an online course for AP Music Theory. “The challenge involves designing and building an approach that will engage, serve and support students.” The districts participating from Nassau County are Freeport, Glen Cove, Hempstead, Malverne, Roosevelt and West Hempstead; in Suffolk County, the participating districts are Amityville, Bridgehampton, Deer Park, Lindenhurst, North Babylon, South Country, Southampton, West Babylon and Wyandanch.

Seven Mistakes Grocery Shoppers Make (NAPSI)—You may save yourself time, money and trouble at the grocery store if you avoid these seven common errors that shoppers make: 1. Consumers don’t make a list before they go. It always helps to have a clear plan of what you’re going to buy before you hit the store. To help, there are a number of apps that can get you organized. One, ZipList, is an online recipe box and shopping list system that syncs across desktop, tablet and mobile devices, so you can stick to your list and not forget important ingredients. 2. Shoppers buy food when they’re hungry. Shopping hungry often

leads to impulse buys and purchasing more than you need. 3. They don’t look down. Brands pay a premium to be displayed at eye level, so looking down can be a way to find the same-quality items at lower prices. 4. People shy away from the generic brands. You’ve had your go-to cereal for years but your grocery store may be offering the same ingredients in a generic cereal for a fraction of the cost. 5. They go during peak hours. Shopping for the week on Sunday afternoon? Looks like everyone had the same idea. Try to switch up your schedule and stock up during less popular times, such as late evening on a weeknight or

early Saturday morning. 6. Food purchasers ignore the center aisles. Center aisles at grocery stores usually contain such packaged goods as canned food and beans. These can offer depth and heartiness to your meals without breaking the bank. 7. Consumers don’t check for deals. The online list system can help here, too. ZipList has a Grocery Deals feature that helps you find what’s on sale at stores near you. The feature pulls directly from grocery circulars and other sources, so even perishable goods can be found on the site on a week-to-week basis. For further facts and tips, visit www.ziplist.com/ mistakes.

(NAPSI)—Cats can be loving, loyal, feisty or fierce—and if you saw the hit movie “Puss In Boots,” then you know one cat can embody all those traits and more. Adopting a cat can be a “purrfectly” wonderful idea as long as you understand the commitment that comes along with it. Before bringing a cat home, consider these tips from Madeline Bernstein, president of the Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Los Angeles (spcaLA): • Evaluate your needs. Are you ready to make the commitment to a pet? Cats can live up to 18 years. On average, pet care costs about $400 a year.

• Visit a pet adoption center. Don’t shop when you can adopt. Shelters have many cats to choose from and adoption saves lives. • Questions? Ask the staff. The shelter staff can often tell you the animal’s personality traits, likes, dislikes, temperament, breed, and activity level. Keep your options open. A pet doesn’t have to be a kitten to be a loyal companion. • Patience. Be patient. You may need to visit the adoption centers a few times before you find the cat that’s right for you. • Decide as a family. Does the cat get along with everyone and how does everyone get along with

Seven Mistakes Grocery Shoppers How To Decide If A Cat Is Right For Make You the cat? • You made a decision, now what? Here are some items you should have before bringing your new cat home: ID tag and breakaway collar, cat food, pet bowls (2), litter box (rule of thumb: one for each cat, plus one), litter and scooper, toys, treats, scratching post, cat carrier (for vet trips/ emergencies) and a plan for veterinary care. • We love our new cat, but we’re having some issues. Don’t give up. The solution may only require a slight adjustment in behaviors. spcaLA has an Animal Behavior Hotline at (888) SPCALA-1, x260 to answer pet behavior questions.
