with Jamie Lynn Ryan And just like that, spring has arrived, with its bursts of warm sunshine coaxing the flower blossoms from beneath the winter-hardened soil. The Easter Bunny has already come and gone, and plans are well underway for summer vacations and the tantalizing temptation of beach season. Seems we were only just beginning to put together our Christmas shopping lists not so long ago, doesn’t it? It’s funny, how this concept of time seems to work its way into nearly every conversation in one respect or another the lack of it, its tendency to pass by too quickly… seldom have I heard the argument that there is simply too much time to know what to do with. Never, in fact. Seems this would be a rather enviable problem to have. But alas, this is most certainly not the case. As with most of life’s

struggles, it is how we choose to deal with, and hopefully, to overcome these issues that is the most important. Redirecting our focus constantly, from wallowing in the negativity of why did this happen? to being proactive in setting a plan for what would I like to happen? going forward. No use dwelling on the past; we need to be present in order to look to the future with anything resembling a clear perspective. They say hindsight is 20/20; but is it truly? I would argue that, even upon reflecting on past events, I do not have an unequivocal assessment of how things might have turned out differently; or even, if they should have. No, I am a firm believer that all things happen for a reason, even if that reason is not immediately - or ever - apparent. Some things are simply not meant to be

understood beyond a shadow of a doubt. Life is nothing if not filled with unexpected twists and turns, and a touch of the unknown. I recently came across a quote which said, in part, that it is not truly the unknown which we fear; but rather, what we think we know of the unknown. What an interesting concept, this notion that most of our apprehensions are selfmade and, if we would only take care to take a step back and let things play out a bit, perhaps we would be pleasantly surprised as to the outcome. Spring is traditionally seen as a time of growth and progress, naturally and otherwise. The seeds must be planted and cultivated, in hopes of a fruitful season. Whether things blossom as we wish, well, that remains to be seen. As with most things, only time will tell.

Friends of Karen

Friends of Karen is a nonprofit organization that supports critically-ill children and their families. This year, they are celebrating their 40th anniversary; four decades of bringing help, hope and support to over 15,000 children and their families in the tri-state area. I had the pleasure of meeting with some of their staff members to grasp a better understanding of all they have done and all they continue to do for those in need. In 1978, Friends of Karen began with one family, one child, Karen MacInnes; and one inspired woman, Sheila Petersen, who wanted to sustain her close friends through the devastating illness of their daughter. Today, Friends of Karen serves hundreds of families by providing emotional, financial and advocacy support to children with life-threatening illnesses, and to their families in order to help keep them stable, functioning and able to cope, at no cost. To apply for help, a parent or guardian of the ill child must call the organization and speak to a member of their Family Support Team. It is apparent to me that Friends of Karen wants whomever is going through a tough and unimaginable critical illness to know that they are not alone and that help is available for them. Friends of Karen often hosts or participates in many events within their community. On Saturday, May 5th and Sunday, May 6th, they are hosting a team in the Long Island Marathon at

Eisenhower Park in East Meadow. Saturday will be a 5K and Sunday will be a 10K. They are looking for people to join their Friends of Karen team and to cross the finish line knowing they’re making a difference in the lives of many. If you are interested in participating in either or both of these races with colleagues, as a family or individually, you can sign up today! Additionally, if you are interested in volunteering your time preparing for the event - handing out t-shirts, making sure every participant has what he or she needs, etc.; or at the event - taking photos for promotional purposes, you can do so. Please visit their website at www.FriendsOfKaren.org for additional information. Are you someone who prefers to donate? If yes, you can do so by donating a gift card today. Many families struggle to find the money for everyday essentials such as food when they are also responsible for paying such large medical bills; therefore, food store and restaurant gift cards are much appreciated so Friends of Karen can pass them along to a family in need. Lastly, if you would like to get involved with Friends of Karen through another avenue that is not listed, such as volunteering in their office or in a specific way that is dear to you, they would like to know! Please contact their Development Associate, Rebecca Mowl, at RMowl@ FriendsOfKaren.org for more information.

Another Organization YOU Can Become Involved With . . .

Bag Art Keep Islip Clean has a long list of upcoming litter cleanup and beautification events in honor of Earth Day, but this year KIC Junior Commissioners have added a fun new project to the mix. In an effort to encourage compliance with Suffolk County’s new disposable bag law, they have called upon their inner artists

and decorated reusable bags. The whimsical designs include flowers, trees and smiling suns. “This is a cute way to remind people to use cloth bags and avoid the five cent fee now charged for many types of plastic and paper bags,” said KIC Executive Director Nancy Cochran. The bags will be distributed at no charge to

the first twenty attendees to KIC’s General Meeting on Thursday, April 19th, at 7 p.m. at the Joyce Fitzpatrick Senior Center in East Islip. Contact KIC at 631.224.2627 or keepislipclean@optonline. net for more information on Earth Day events or the General Meeting.

BAG ART - Keep Islip Clean Junior Commissioners show their handiwork on reusable cloth bags. The JCs hope to encourage the use of these bags in support of a healthy environment.

Lessons on Lifestyle Eastern Suffolk BOCES Adult Education Literacy students participated in a six-week Family Health and Wellness Program offered by Cornell Cooperative Extension. Nutritionist educators, some bilingual, taught students the longrange benefits to healthy lifestyle changes. Students completed meal-planning exercises and created weekly budgets using information they acquired from local supermarket circulars. The Family Health and Wellness Program educates

on the importance of food safety. Wash hands with soap and water, sanitize surfaces, keep appliances clean, clean sweep refrigerated foods once a week, rinse produce, separate foods when preparing and serving, use a food thermometer when cooking, cook food to safe internal temperatures, and keep foods at a safe temperature. ESL Teacher Mary Meyer said, “This program is very important for our students. They garner information about what’s out in the

community to help them make healthy decisions for themselves and their families from reading flyers and circulars, to reading labels, to learning how to substitute healthy ingredients in a recipe.” Insulated lunch bags were handed out to the students at the final presentation silk-screened with a message, “Save Time & Money Pack a Lunch.” Students were pleased with the gift and promised to use the resources and tools they were given.

During the collaborative event, multiple guest readers shared stories with students promoting literacy. Those in attendance included, but were not limited to, Superintendent of Schools Dr. Kenneth Graham, Brookhaven Town Supervisor Ed Romaine, Suffolk County Executive

Steve Bellone, New York State Sen. Phil Boyle and Suffolk County Police Officer Keith Murphy. After each guest concluded their chosen story students asked a series of questions related to their specific careers, gaining interesting insight from the distinguished visitors.

Teacher of the Month goes above and beyond the boundaries of her duties and responsibilities,” said Blue Point Elementary School fourth-grade teacher Sandy Swan. “In addition, this teacher’s work ethic is truly admirable. We all know that it takes a very special person to be a kindergarten

teacher, especially with the amount of heart and patience that she has. She has a wonderful rapport with her students and families, ensuring them that they are in safe, capable and nurturing hands as they begin their elementary journeys.”

As part of a special celebration commemorating the birth of Dr. Seuss, students across Grundy Avenue Elementary School in the Sachem Central School District listened to stories read by prominent members of the school and community as part of a Readers as Leaders event.

Readers as Leaders

Drawing Inspiration Members of the Connetquot High School Art Club and National Art Honor Society recently took part in an in-depth workshop with assistance from the representatives of the Long Island Children’s Museum, drawing inspiration from the work of Willem de Kooning. After both learning and examining the artwork of Willem de Kooning, the talented artists created a

series of life drawings using him as inspiration. The students enhanced their original pieces of work by painting the composition on canvas using materials provided by the LICM. They were also joined by Lauren Plate, 2010 Connetquot High School graduate and current LICM art program manager, along with teachers John Hargrave and Ross Grandin, all of whom

assisted throughout the workshop. The students’ completed projects will be on display at the LICM from June 2nd- July 1st, with an opening reception taking place on June 8th, from 6-8 p.m. To read more about the workshop the students took part in, visit www. licm.org/programs/ community-programs/ dekooning/.

Showcasing Writing The Bayport-Blue Point School District would like to congratulate three fifth-graders from Sylvan Avenue Elementary School for being named finalists in the Patchogue Elks Club annual essay contest. As part of their social studies curriculum, the

entire fifth grade wrote essays this past January surrounding the topic “Our Veterans, Our Heroes.” As a result of their entries, Kaelyn Walsh, Nicolette Diemer and Madison Philipson were named the first-place winner, first runner-up and third-place

winner, respectively. These students received a certificate from representatives of the Patchogue Elks Club, along with small tokens of appreciation for their efforts.

Rainforest Travel

In conjunction with their studies on the beauty and depth of the world’s rainforests, fifth-grade students at Bayport-Blue Point School District’s Sylvan Avenue Elementary School were visited by Eric Powers, a representative of the Your Connection to Nature program.

During the presentation, Mr. Powers provided an in-depth look into the importance of rainforests, which included a close-up look into the lives of the forests’ daily inhabitants. He not only highlighted the wildlife of the rainforest, but also the multiple layers which make

up their homes, including the emergent, canopy, understory and forest floor. Additionally, the students were able to observe and interact with some reallife animals, such as the Vietnamese stick insect, a tarantula and the redtailed boa constrictor.

Festival Concert

Musical mastery was on full display at the 60th annual Sachem Central School District Elementary Music Festival Concert held at Sachem High School North on March 6th. Nearly 300 students from all 10 elementary buildings came together to put on a spectacular performance. The performers were chosen by their respective music teachers based on

a comprehensive audition process and each student committed to three outof-school rehearsals to prepare for the concert. Students performing with the band, orchestra and chorus were directed by Ms. Krug, Ms. MontanyeMcBride and Ms. Murphy, respectively. The chorus was accompanied by Mrs. Kelting and assisted by Ms. Schievelbein. Additionally, Ms. Schaefer assisted the

orchestra, Ms. Degenhardt assisted the band and Chairperson for Secondary Music, Dr. Comito, provided assistance to each performing group. “I could not be more proud of the students’ incredible performance,” said Chairperson for Elementary Music Ms. Wasdo. “Congratulations to all students and staff on a phenomenal concert.”

Advancement of Children Gala

SUFFOLK ZONE 4 - NEIGHBOR NEWSPAPERS - WEDNESDAY APRIL 4, 2018 • www.southbaysneighbor.com

More than 300 faculty members, administrators, family and friends of the Connetquot Central School District were recently welcomed to Villa Lombardi’s in Holbrook to attend the Connetquot Foundation for the Advancement of Children’s annual Community Honors Gala event. Since 2005, CFAC has helped students in need, providing free tutoring, supporting community events, and providing more than $175,000 in school, community and teacher financial grants. The grants help to purchase equipment and supplies, support special student assemblies, and finance training that directly benefits the students of the Connetquot community. In addition to being a fundraiser to support educational initiatives for district students, the Gala provides the opportunity to celebrate individuals who have had a lasting, positive

impact on the district. Suffolk County Legislator William J. Lindsay III was on hand to present the awards in his father’s name to Susan P. White, principal of the John Pearl Elementary School, Sandra Rubin, principal of the Idle Hour Elementary School, and Scott Maskin, cofounder and chief executive officer of SUNation Solar Systems. William J. Lindsay II, who passed in 2013, was presiding officer of the Suffolk County Legislature and was a founding member of CFAC. Mr. Lindsay’s son is proud to continue the tradition of honoring individuals who have dedicated their energy to improving the lives of Connetquot’s children. Sandra Rubin started her career in the Connetquot Central School District in 1972. She began as an elementary school teacher, and then taught the Gifted and Talented program (now known as C-Quest) for 13 years. Mrs. Rubin then

served in an administrative position at Cherokee Street Elementary School and then Edith L. Slocum Elementary School. After a brief retirement, she returned as interim assistant superintendent and then moved on to her current position as principal of Idle Hour Elementary School. Susan P. White began her administrative career as an assistant principal at Cherokee Street Elementary School before being appointed as principal of John Pearl Elementary School, a role she has held for the past 28 years. Scott Maskin co-founded Bohemia-based SUNation Solar Systems in 2003 and currently serves as president and CEO. Mr. Maskin is also a dedicated supporter of Connetquot’s students and programs, as his children are Connetquot High School graduates.

Savor these beautiful (and edible) flowers C ultivating beautiful blooms is a popular pastime for gardeners near and far. While gazing at a yard full of vibrant colors or enjoying the aroma of freshly cut blooms is enough for many gardeners, others may want to embrace a long-enduring tradition — growing edible ﬂowers.

Cooking with edible flowers is a trend that has endured for centuries. According to Fleurs Gourmandes, the first recorded history of edible flowers occurred in 140 BC. Use of calendula in salads dates back to the ancient Greeks and Romans. Victorian-era candied flowers and flowerencrusted sweets took edible flowers to new heights. Today, nothing may make a meal seem more gourmet than the inclusion of flower petals in the recipe. Of course, before delving into the expanded world of cooking using edible blooms, some notes of caution should first be mentioned. Avoid flowers that may have been sprayed with fungicides, herbicides or insecticides. To verify safety, only use edible flowers grown specifically for this purpose, not flowers picked from

To begin growing — and eating — edible flowers, refer to this list of varieties deemed safe and be careful to double-check against allergies and any interactions with medications prior to use. Allium: These are blossoms from the allium family, which include garlic, chives and leeks. These flowers can be used to add flavor to foods.

Marigolds are just one of the many ﬂowers that can be consumed.

marigold family can taste like saffron when it’s sautéed. Uncooked, calendula can have spicy notes that add variety to salads and garnishes. Chamomile: This plant features small, daisy-type ﬂowers that can be used in treats and teas. Cilantro: The ﬂowers from the cilantro plant can be eaten, just as the leaves and the seeds that form the spice coriander.

Basil Blossoms: It may be customary to pinch off the blossoms of basil, which come in colors from white to lavender in order to stimulate growth of the leaves of the plant. However, the blossoms, which are more mild than the leaves, can be tasty as well.

Fennel: Just like the plant itself, the ﬂowers of fennel have a subtle licorice ﬂavor.

Calendula: Sometimes known as “poor man’s saffron,” this yellow ﬂower in the

Lavender: The sweet, perfumed taste of lavender works in cocktails and desserts.

Hibiscus: Hibiscus blooms are famously used in hibiscus tea, which is tart and cranberry-like.

Marigolds: These tiny flowers may be used in vegetable gardens to repel animal and insect pests. Blossoms have a fresh citrus taste that can be used in cooking. Pansies: These vibrant early bloomers can take on a wintergreen flavor and look beautiful when glazed on cakes and other desserts. Roses: Beautiful to behold, rose petals can lend a subtle, fruity flavor to many different foods as well. Zucchini: The blossoms from this squash, which have a slightly sweet taste, can be enjoyed in many different ways. Some people batter and fry the blossoms, while others may stuff them with herbs and cheeses.

Create a teenfriendly space at home Know who to call when you smell gas.

Parents who want to keep teens nearby can create hangout spaces at home that make it easy for teens to feel comfortable with their friends. These “teen caves” can be private but permit supervision when necessary. With a few modiﬁcations, it’s possible to transform a room in a home into a teen-friendly hangout space.

Have a snack station. Some teenagers always seem to be hungry, and hanging out with friends while enjoying food is a popular pastime. When renovating a room into a teen cave, ﬁnd a way to make food a focus. Install a mini-refrigerator and nonalcoholic bar where kids can serve snacks to friends. Think about a space you would like as an adult and modify it to be more accommodating to teenagers. Add more seating. Having friends over means having enough seating to handle a small crowd. Beanbags, cushioned benches, a daybed, modular seating and more can ensure everyone has a place to sit. Make a private outdoor spot. Teen spaces do not need to be restricted to the indoors. Design advice site Houzz says an outdoor escape zone that includes comfortable seating in a private area — particularly a spot that can also be enjoyed into the evening — will be a coveted spot.

Talk to your children. Involve teens in the process of renovating a home to create a spot in which they would like to congregate. Talk about elements they would like to see in the space, whether it be a particular design style, technology or activity.

Invest in “indestructible” materials. Teenagers are bound to make messes, and having other people over means contending with a certain measure of damage. Design the space with indooroutdoor carpeting, water-resistant fabrics, distressed wood and other durable materials.

Establish a shared budget. Paint is inexpensive and can transform just about any room in a single afternoon. If the room being renovated is the teen’s own bedroom, allow him or her to choose the color palette and other accents. Even if it

Adolescents are always looking for spaces to gather without overbearing adult interference. Homeowners can create such spaces for their children in their own homes.

Having teens close by and interacting with them on a regular basis can beneﬁt families. Data from the National Center for Education Statistics notes that parental involvement correlates to higher grade point averages. Research from the National Highway Trafﬁc Safety Administration says certain parenting styles, including those that set rules and monitor teens in supportive ways, develop kids who are more likely to wear seat belts while driving, while such support also lowers crash risk. Involved parents also may reduce the chances of teen drug use and promiscuous behavior.

eenagers are busier than ever before. But even the busiest teens need places to unwind and relax with friends. Many parents aspire to create that type of environment in their homes but don’t know where to begin.

Natural gas emergencies can happen anywhere, anytime, and it’s up to you and your nose to help.

Personal touches turn a house into a home. Hanging pictures, whether they’re personal photographs or artwork, can really change the character of a room. Unfortunately, some people may not know the proper ways to display pictures on a wall. Design maven Martha Stewart advises that the ﬁrst step is to gather all of the pictures that are in consideration for hanging. This will enable a person to see what is available and edit their selection based on the space available, theme or color scheme. Having the artwork there enables a person to move it around like a puzzle until the placement feels just right. Next, plan on hanging artwork at 57 inches on center, according to the renovation experts at Apartment Therapy. “On center” means the middle of the photograph or painting will always be at 57,” as this measurement represents the average human eye height. This height is regularly used as a standard in many galleries and museums.

SUFFOLK ZONE 4 - NEIGHBOR NEWSPAPERS - WEDNESDAY APRIL 4, 2018 • www.southbaysneighbor.com

When the goal is to hang multiple pictures, treat the entire grouping as

a single unit. This means creating the layout and ﬁnding the center of the middle piece of the grouping. To make picture grouping easier, use paper templates with arrows to indicate whether the artwork will be hung horizontally or vertically. These templates can then be easily taped to the wall and rearranged until the grouping is ideal. There are no hard and fast rules concerning frames, meaning they do not all have to match. But placing framed artwork side by side can give a person a feel for whether the images and the frames work together in the space. Some people like to use frames of similar colors and sizes. Others want the eclectic mix-and-match appeal. It’s ultimately up to the homeowner. Measuring is key to hanging a picture correctly on the wall. Take into consideration the type of attachment, whether it’s D-rings, sawtooth hangers, wire or other fasteners on the back. Measure from the top of the frame to the hanger. Measure the wall to achieve

the 57” on center location, and then calculate where this falls within the height of the artwork and frame top. Adjust accordingly and mark. Then measure the distance from the frame top to the hanger location on the wall. Be sure to take the weight of the picture into consideration when selecting hanging hardware. Wall anchors may be needed if measurements determine a wall stud will not help secure the artwork — to keep the frame sturdy in the drywall. Home improvement resource Today’s Homeowner also suggests using self-adhesive rubber bumpers to the bottom corners on the back of the frame before hanging so that the picture will not damage the wall and will help it hang level. It can take a few attempts to hang pictures correctly, but with practice it should come with greater ease. The good news is there are new products constantly being evolved to make picture hanging easier, including those that enable removal and relocation of artwork without damaging walls.

Distinguished Teacher

The Connetquot Central School District is proud to announce that Connetquot High School science research teacher John Halloran has been named a “Distinguished Teacher of 2018” by the Harvard Club of Long Island. Mr. Halloran will be honored at the Harvard Club of Long Island’s annual University Relations Luncheon on April 15th, along with 11 other teachers across Long Island. He was nominated for the honor by Connetquot Class of 2017 valedictorian Mit Patel, who is currently attending Harvard University. “Mr. Halloran provided me with not only a realistic view of the world but armed me with a mentality that allowed me to overcome challenges,” said Mit. “It would be a grave injustice to just describe him as very knowledgeable and a good teacher. I feel his goal wasn’t to just teach us about biology and

research, it was more than that, it was to prepare us for the world.” A teacher for 18 years in the district, Mr. Halloran has taught Regents biology and chemistry, Advanced Placement biology, as well as Sports Science. He has also taught an elective class in forensics. Five years ago, he started a research program that now occupies his full course load. This year, a team of students from the school and working under Mr. Halloran’s guidance were named a semifinalist for the Samsung Solve for Tomorrow contest. He is also a volunteer in his spare time, coaching his two sons in basketball for the past six years. “As the inaugural teacher of our high school’s science research program, Mr. Halloran is helping to shape the future by expanding and deepening students’ passion for science through the introduction

of real world applications and practical learning experiences in what feels like a professional laboratory setting,” said Superintendent of Schools Dr. Lynda Adams. “His methodology for teaching is in direct alignment with our district’s core mission of providing students with meaningful, engaging lessons that help to develop them into well-rounded adults and productive citizens.” Mr. Halloran graduated from SUNY Geneseo with a bachelor’s degree in biology. He went on to earn a master’s degree in Secondary Education from Dowling College. Prior to teaching, Mr. Halloran worked for Parke-Davis Pharmaceuticals. “This award honors teachers who transform lives,” said Dr. Judith Esterquest, Harvard Club of Long Island chair of the Distinguished Teacher Selection Committee. “Devoted teachers like Mr. Halloran offer Long Island students deep expertise, extraordinary talents and countless hours of attention. By capturing the minds and imaginations of our children and preparing them for challenges that were unknown even a few decades ago, these teachers shape the future of our country.” Photo courtesy of: Connetquot Central School District

Polar Dip Series Raises Funds The iconic Camp Sunshine Polar Dip Series recently concluded and raised $217,000 this winter. Local teams from the Northeast to the MidAtlantic participated in local dips, plunging into the icy waters of the Atlantic Ocean, lakes, rivers and several different polar pools! “We’re thankful that we can still count on people to unpack their swimsuits each winter and take a quick dip into freezing cold water to support Camp Sunshine,” said Michael Smith, Development Director at Camp Sunshine.“ A couple seconds of cold are nothing in comparison to what Camp Sunshine families face on a daily basis. This is an easy way to help support your community and we saw a lot of new faces this year!” Funds were raised by teams and individuals who

committed to taking the icy plunge. In total, 552 participants registered to participate in one of the nine dips. “As incredible as it is to think that 552 people were able to raise more than $217,000, the fundraising component is just part of the goal of these events,” said Michael Katz, Executive Director at Camp Sunshine. “Equally as important is the awareness we bring to each area where we host these events. Our goal has always been to reach out to even more families who can utilize our services. The polar dips provide a great platform to help spread the word.” The funds enable children with lifethreatening illnesses and their families to enjoy the award-winning Camp Sunshine on Sebago Lake in Maine free-ofcharge. At Camp, they join

other families on similar journeys and experience the benefits of empathy and encouragement, recovery and recreation, and hope and inspiration. In all, 23 illness-specific sessions will be hosted at Camp Sunshine in 2018. If you are or know a family with a child who has been diagnosed with a lifethreatening illness, please consider referring their family to Camp Sunshine. Applications can be found online or by emailing info@campsunshine.org.

PUZZLE ANSWERS:

Staying active is a nobrainer when it comes to improving how you look and feel, yet according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, only 56.1% percent of New York State adults are getting the recommended amount of aerobic physical activity. This month the American Heart Association, the world’s leading voluntary organization dedicated to building healthier lives, free of cardiovascular diseases and stroke, is challenging everyone to get moving. Move More Month is part of the association’s Healthy For Good™ movement, which

inspires people everywhere to make lasting changes in their health and their lives, one small step at a time. “The human body was designed to move,” said Eduardo Sanchez, M.D., M.P.H., FAAFP, American Heart Association’s chief medical officer for prevention. “Your body thanks you for moving by relieving anxiety, depression and even anger, and rewards you by making your brain and heart stronger.” Not only can moving more help improve self-confidence, energy levels and sleep quality, those who are physically active and at a healthy weight

live about seven years longer than those who are not active and are obese. People are encouraged to share how they’re moving more in April by using the hashtags #HealthyForGood and #MoveWithHeart on social media. According to the American Heart Association, just 150 minutes a week of activity that gets your heart pumping and leaves you a little breathless can provide major health benefits. The American Heart Association’s Healthy For Good movement encourages everyone to get moving with the following tips: Work it… at Work –

Move More Month Whether you work in an office, at home or behind the wheel, chances are you spend a lot of time sitting. Not enough time to move? Try moving more while you perform routine tasks. Start by taking one weekly meeting to go by walking while you meet. Other options include taking the stairs more often, parking farther out or taking stretch breaks throughout the day. Play with Fido – Most pet owners will tell you that having a pet can relieve stress and boost overall happiness. But did you know that people who walk their dogs are more likely to get the recommended

amount of physical activity than those who don’t. According to one study, dogwalkers got an average of 30 minutes more exercise a day than non-walkers. Make it a Family Affair – You don’t need to break the bank to move more with your kids. There are numerous tips to keep your family active on the cheap. And if the weather is bad or outdoor activities are out of the question, try dancing, playing or cleaning indoors. Want to get out? Go for a walk around the mall or check out recreation centers in your neighborhood. Bust a Move Anywhere – The

American Heart Association recommends adults get at least 150 minutes of moderate activity every week. That can be accomplished by taking small activity breaks, setting reasonable expectations and finding a move more buddy. No matter what you do, it’s important to stay motivated by making every move count and celebrate your accomplishments. Find resources and join the movement to be Healthy For Good at heart.org/MoveMore.

Older People Improve Life For Others And Themselves (NAPSI)—Many older Americans have discovered that sharing their accumulated wisdom with others who need help can be a big win all around. Here’s a look at two ways you can stretch your mind and show your heart: Experience Corps AARP Foundation Experience Corps unites teachers, schools and older adults to improve children’s academic and social outcomes. This benefits the children, the schools and the volunteers. The program has been proven to help children who aren’t reading at grade level become better readers by the end of third grade. Last school year, 76 percent of students who were below grade level at the beginning of the year raised their reading and literacy performance by one or more proficiency levels with the help of Experience Corps volunteers. The goal is to improve children’s literacy, strengthen communities,

the VA. DAV (Disabled American Veterans) is working to change these laws and correct this

inequity. Many Americans are asking their legislators where they stand on the issue.

Five Ways To Protect Your Vision conditions, and not smoking can lower your risk of eye disease. Know your family history. Talk to your family members about their eye health history. It’s important to know if anyone has been diagnosed with an eye disease, since many are hereditary. Use protective eyewear. Prevent eye injuries when doing chores around the house, playing sports, or working on the job. Wear safety glasses, goggles, safety shields, or eye guards that are made of polycarbonate. Talk to your eye care provider about the appropriate type of protective eyewear for your needs.

Wear sunglasses. Wearing sunglasses outside protects your eyes from the sun’s ultraviolet rays. Prolonged exposure to sunlight can increase your risk for getting an eye disease like cataract or age-related macular degeneration, which is a progressive eye disease leading to blindness. When purchasing sunglasses, look for those that block out 99 to 100 percent of both UVA and UVB radiation. These steps can help keep your eyes healthy and prevent vision loss and blindness from eye disease. For more information, visit www.nei.nih.gov/hvm.

(NAPSI)—If you or someone you care about is an older adult, you should know about the Eldercare Locator. The Eldercare Locator, a public service of the Administration on Aging, an agency of the U.S. Administration for Community Living is a nationwide service that connects older adults and their caregivers with

information on aging services. Callers to the Eldercare Locator receive information about federal, state and local services such as transportation, inhome supportive services, and health and wellness programs. Information Specialists are there to help guide callers to the correct resources.

You can call the Eldercare Locator at (800) 677-1116 Monday through Friday, 9:00 am to 8:00 pm ET to speak with a knowledgeable Information Specialist, or you can visit the website, www.eldercare.gov to find local resources on a broad range of topics.
