BROOKHAVEN NATIONAL LAB WORKERS W/CANCER 1947 -1993 $150,000-$400,000

If you worked on-site at the lab for 250 workdays between 1947 and 1993 for Associated Universities, the AEC/DOE, or a subcontractor, or were a researcher living on-site at Brookhaven National Lab, and were later diagnosed with one of 23 specified types of cancer, I will help you, or direct survivors, get a six figure entitlement award. Awards range from $150,000 to $400,000, and include worker medical benefits, including home health care. This is a taxpayer funded entitlement for DOE workers/survivors. It involves no liability to any employer and is not a lawsuit. Since 2007 I’ve done this nationally for 3,000 sick DOE workers or their survivors. I have helped more than half of the 928 paid BNL families receive their cancer awards. Non-cancer respiratory and renal disease cases are also possible. Let me ask a few simple questions. I’ll give you a frank (and free) assessment as to whether I can help. I’m not a lawyer and this is no lawsuit. I am a national expert on EEOICPA entitlement. I unravel the frustrating red tape so you don’t have to. You get paid directly by the U.S. Treasury. My fee is so modest L.I. lawyers hire me to do the work for their own family members. No appeal fees. No fine print.

Students Show their Support Students throughout the Sachem Central School District spread gratitude and support for U.S. military veterans by creating more than 1,000 Valentine’s Day cards for them. As part of the community initiative sponsored by

the Office of Suffolk County Legislator William Lindsay of the eighth district, students inscribed personalized messages on colorful heart-shaped cards, expressing their appreciation to the nation’s veterans. They dressed up their vibrant creations by

Knowledge is Power

applying paper doilies and stickers to them. In addition to the cards, several district schools assembled Valentine’s Day bags, which were donated to Veterans Affairs hospitals across Long Island.

District Superintendent of Eastern Suffolk BOCES (ESBOCES) David Wicks was February’s guest speaker at the monthly Community Legislative Committee meeting. Wicks presented Advocacy 101 to a room of 50 attendees who included students, parents, ESBOCES staff, and members of the community interested in answers to questions such as ‘What is advocacy?’ ‘Who STUDENTS SHOW THEIR SUPPORT - Sachem students showed off their can advocate?’, and ‘How valentines for local veterans. Photo courtesy of: Sachem Central School District do we advocate?’

Wicks’ presentation was timely as many of the students and staff in attendance are preparing to visit Albany for Advocacy Day on February 28th, and they want their voices heard. Building relationships, knowledge is power, know the logistics, and communicate effectively were four components of advocating identified and discussed. Students from both the Academy LI and ESBOCES chosen to participate in Advocacy

Day received additional training to help them understand the issues and the importance of speaking to elected officials to address concerns and solutions. Wicks said, “You are the current and future voters of America. Be the expert in the room when you get to Albany. Be courteous; be confident because this is the opportunity for you to exercise your right to give (9.875 5.437) input about the issuesxthat affect you.”

Ronkonkoma Middle School seventh-grade student Katlyn Smith has utilized her musical talent as an outlet for creativity, and that passion has earned her several impressive honors in the past several years, including most recently being declared winner of the Metropolitan Youth Orchestra’s Concerto Competition based on her incredible violin skills. At just 6 years old, Katlyn was the youngest musician to join the Metropolitan Youth Orchestra of New York, in addition to starting The Smith Sisters Ensemble at the age of 7 with her sister, Ashley Smith. Playing classical instruments with such talent far exceeding expectations for their age, they attracted other young

prodigies to join them. The ensemble, now consisting of 15 musicians, has played at many fundraisers, talent shows and gigs including being booked by LiveNation to play at Westbury Music Fair. The group enjoys recording at Sound City Cove Studios where they have played with Richie Cannata, Billy Joel’s saxophone player, and pop star Domini Monroe. Video clips of “The Smith Sisters Ensemble” are currently available to view on YouTube. In honor of her exceptional talents, Katlyn was awarded with a $1,500 scholarship toward the Concert Festival International Summer Tour 2018. This was awarded based on her beautiful performance

on the piano at Carnegie Hall in the program “Celebrating Ninth Season Opening” Concert this past November. Katlyn’s passion for music extends beyond her study of the violin, as she also plays the piano. “Violin is much harder than the piano because I’m playing at NYSSMA Level 6 in violin and NYSSMA Level 4 in piano, but I still highly enjoy both,” said Katlyn. Additionally, Katlyn recently performed at the Steinway Piano Gallery and played concertos on both her violin and a Steinway grand piano. This spring, Katlyn will have the honor of playing with the Nassau County’s North Shore Symphony Orchestra and will be performing with the Metropolitan Youth Orchestra at the Tilles Center and Carnegie Hall. Katlyn would like to thank her parents, along with instructors and arrangers; Ronkonkoma Middle School Orchestra Director Michael Murphy, Anton Polezhayev, Yelena Polezhayev, Vladimir Polezhayev, Steven Cordella, Ronald Dehart, arranger Michael McGough and the Metropolitan Youth Orchestra for all of her successes thus far.

Top Accolades

Middle Country Central School District’s Centereach High School student-artist Rachel Gallarello recently won best artwork in the Mixed Media category at the Suffolk County Art Leaders

Association (SCALA) AllCounty and Scholarship Art Show. The show, held in conjunction with the Babylon Citizens Council on the Arts, invited high schools across Suffolk

County to submit studentartists work to be displayed in the Gallery at the Babylon Old Town Hall. Gallarello was recognized for her outstanding work and also received a prize of $50. In addition to Gallarello’s award winning piece, Centereach High School had three additional students artwork displayed in the show - senior James Moore, junior Payton Laxton and junior Jacob Siegelbaum. The Middle Country Central School District continues to provide students with ample opportunities to excel in art and allow these masterpieces to be displayed and recognized across Long Island.

Simulating Earth Can students really appreciate the impact a torrential rainstorm has on the land or the intensity and wide-reaching effects of a volcano just by looking at a ﬂat picture in a book? “No,” says Special Education Teacher Melissa Fraccalvieri at Eastern Suffolk BOCES Jefferson Academic Center, “That’s why we engage in handson project-based learning.” The unit they are working on in Science class, Earth’s Changing Surface, provides opportunities for the students to simulate

rainstorms to produce landslides or create edible soil horizons to demonstrate the different soil layers (topsoil, subsoil, parent materials, bedrock, and organic materials). Students constructed both of these projects in class. “Students really look forward to attending class and getting involved in the different projects we are learning about. They work together, take notes, refer back to them, and participate in the process,” said Fraccalvieri. Volcano eruptions were

the most recent natural occurrence the students learned about, a natural disaster that can change the surface of the Earth. They fashioned volcanoes from clay and used baking soda and vinegar to form eruptions. The experiment was successful. They learned, right in front of their eyes, that lava erupting from a volcano is natural but when it ﬂows down the sides into the valley, it can become a natural disaster.

Lifesaving Skills

SIMULATING EARTH - Student Ethan, Rocky Point UFSD, pours the baking soda and vinegar mixture into the clay volcano as student Jeremiah, Longwood CSD, looks on. They ready themselves for the lava that will soon erupt. A collaboration among unrelated programs at the Islip Career Center recently introduced emergency medical procedures to a wide group of students. Those programs are Health Related Occupations and Canine Careers. When teachers from both programs realized that learning a variety of life-saving methods would serve all of their students, they joined forces. Islip Career Center is an Eastern Suffolk BOCES school that provides special career education services to students with special needs. The skills they acquire

may enable them to obtain entry-level employment in certain fields. It’s common practice for Health Related Occupations Teacher Deirdre Kroupa to cover CPR and the Heimlich maneuver. This time, she and Canine Careers Teacher Lisa Konnerth worked together to bring additional skills to both classes. They taught a combined group lesson of the Heimlich maneuver and CPR for adults, infants, and canines. Canine Careers students found the CPR for man’s best friend to be of particular interest, as

did the Health Related Occupations students since first responders perform the procedure on dogs rescued from lifethreatening situations. Students worked in tandem and with their teachers to practice these skills on each other and on CPR mannequins. “Uniting with another program exposed everyone to more life-saving skills than working alone,” said Kroupa. “This type of interprogram collaboration is common practice throughout Eastern Suffolk BOCES and for RONKONKOMA NOMINEE - Rep. Pete King congratulates Joseph Amarando on good reason – the benefits receiving a Congressional nomination to the United States Naval Academy.

No Strangers to Success In the Sachem Central School District the Sachem Aftershock Robotics team is poised for another successful competition season following two consecutive first-place finishes, captured during the FIRST Robotics Regional Long Island Competition sponsored by the School Business Partnerships of Long Island. The team, composed of 117 male and female students from both Sachem High School East and North, worked countless hours honing its design, engineering and production skills in preparation for a grueling competition season, which began after the annual kickoff announcement January 6th. Each offseason the student-engineers submit proposals for side projects to continue their work exploring multiple aspects of the engineering field. With help from the club advisers, students design and build worm drive transmissions and write software for vision systems, among other challenging

projects. New additions to the team compete in two offseason competitions utilizing last year’s robot to become familiar with all aspects of the competition environment. The robotics team provides an opportunity for students to explore the multifaceted engineering profession through the hands-on application of designs and ideas. Students engage in mechanical, electrical and software engineering with help from club advisers James Byrne, Andrew Cifuini and Robert Wentzel. Along the way, students also receive key insights from Gary Dibicari, software adviser Jim Tripi, and new Sachem teacher and robotics team alumnus Michael Lundstrom. “Aftershock Robotics helps students gain confidence communicating their ideas,” Wentzel said. “Students create worldwide connections while working on a common goal.” The FIRST Robotics Competition announces a different game each year with varying objectives the students’ creation

must complete efficiently. This year’s game is called “Power Up.” Once the game for the year is named, the students spring into action, brainstorming and identifying the problem before developing subsystems to effectively accomplish the tasks. This season the robotics team will be competing in two regional competitions. On February 20th, the students reach the end of the allotted build time for their robot. The robot is then crated and shipped off for the first competition of the season, the Palmetto Regional FIRST Robotics Competition on March 1st in South Carolina. Continuing the competition season, the team is aspiring to win its third consecutive Long Island Regional title on April 12th at Hofstra University. Upon winning either of the two regional competitions, the team gains admission to the worldwide FIRST Championship held April 25th-28th, at the Cobo Center in Detroit, Michigan.

Throughout much of North America, flu season peaks between December and February. But flu season can occur anywhere from October to March, advises the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The flu is contagious and can sideline people for extended periods of time. The CDC says that each year one in five Americans gets the flu. Taking steps to fend off the flu can help men and women and the people they routinely come in contact with.

TIME TO THINK ABOUT GETTING THAT BEACH BODY!

nifﬂes, sore throat, fever and aches and pains may accompany a number of illnesses, but during the wintertime such symptoms are typically indicative of inﬂuenza.

Food can be used to fend off the flu. Common foods that many people already have in their pantries can be powerful flu-fighters. Garlic, for example, contains compounds that have direct antiviral effects and may help destroy the flu before it affects the body. Raw garlic is best. In addition to garlic, citrus fruits, ginger, yogurt and dark leafy greens can boost immunity and fight the flu, according to Mother Nature’s Network. The British Journal of Nutrition notes that dark chocolate supports T-helper cells, which increase the immune system’s ability to defend against infection. A study published in the American Journal of Therapeutics showed that carnosine, a compound found in chicken soup, can help strengthen the body’s immune system and help fight off the flu in its early stages.

Flu shot and medications Annual flu shots administered in advance of flu season can help protect people and their families from getting the flu. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration says that, in select situations, antiviral medications — which are usually prescribed to treat the flu and lessen symptoms — can reduce the chance of illness in people exposed to influenza. Many over-the-counter medicines can alleviate symptoms of the flu, but cannot fend it off. Stop germ proliferation Germs can be spread easily between persons through direct contact and indirect contact with surfaces sick individuals have touched. Doctors recommend staying home for at least 24 hours after a flu-induced fever has dissipated. Well individuals should avoid contact with sick people. Frequent hand-washing with soap and water can stop germs from spreading. When soap and water is not available, alcohol-based hand sanitizers can help. People also should avoid touching their eyes, noses and mouths after being in public places or around someone who is ill. Rest and restore Those who feel symptoms coming on should begin drinking more liquids to keep the respiratory system hydrated and make mucus less viscous. Remember to get adequate sleep, as a tired body cannot effectively fight the flu virus. People of all ages should take steps to protect themselves from the flu.

Special Pull-Out Section Embracing germs: They’re not all bad

erms have gotten a somewhat undeserved reputation. For decades, people have done what they can to avoid these unseemly organisms, thinking that exposure to germs is the single-best way to get and remain sick. Certainly, there are germs that a person would be wise to avoid. However, not all germs must be avoided. Germs are tiny organisms that can enter the body through open cuts, the mouth, the nose and the eyes. Germs are found all over the world. The four main types of germs include bacteria, viruses, fungi and protozoa. Bacteria are a type of germ that often get a bad rap but actually may have beneﬁts that outweigh their negatives. Bacteria are tiny, one-celled creatures that get nutrients from their environments to live. In some instances, that environment is the human body. Bacteria can reproduce inside and outside of the body. While bacteria that cause repeated infections might be considered bad, there actually are a host of good bacteria. Such bacteria help people digest food and protect against gastrointestinal upset,

such as diarrhea. Some bacteria may help people fight off illnesses caused by other bacteria or viruses, says research published in the journal Best Practice & Research Clinical Gastroenterology. Beneficial bacteria may help stimulate the immune system so that the body is better able to fight off diseases naturally. People frequently overlook good bacteria in an effort to eradicate bad bacteria, and that can have serious detriments. Unfortunately, the “antibacterial” products available for cleaning and medicines used for treating bacterial illnesses do not discriminate between good and bad germs. They simply eradicate them all. Heathline says that this can create an imbalance of bacteria in the body that may lead to harmful bacteria taking over. Harmful bacteria also may evolve to resist common treatments because of the overuse of antibacterial and antimicrobial medicines and products. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says that antimicrobial agents have been used for the last 70 years to treat patients with infectious diseases.

Although they’ve helped treat illnesses, these drugs have enabled the organisms they’re meant to destroy to adapt to them, making the drugs less effective. Some bacteria are even resistant to certain antibacterial drugs. The CDC says each year in the United States at least two million people become infected with bacteria that are resistant to antibiotics — with at least 23,000 people dying as a result of these infections. Various medical sources urge that regular handwashing with plain soap is enough for cleansing. Consuming foods with naturally occurring helpful organisms, such as yogurt, chocolate, feta cheese, pickles and dark chocolate, can help increase the levels of good bacteria in the body. Taking a probiotic supplement also may help, although researchers at the Cleveland Clinic report that there is not enough proof to say for sure. People should speak with their doctors before taking probiotics or other steps to increase bacteria to make sure they are a wise decision for each individual.

MUSIC MAKES YOU FEEL GOOD & HEALTHY Those who ﬁnd themselves routinely battling muscle soreness can employ the following tactics to feel better and enjoy the fruits of their labors in the gym:

Listen to your body. Daily exercise can greatly beneﬁt long-term health, but it’s important that men and women listen to their bodies, paying attention to any signs that it might be time for a break. Each person is different, but exercise aﬁcionados who recognize any abnormal signs such as unexplained fatigue or cramps may need to take a day off. Bodies need time to recover after a workout. Get adequate sleep. Getting enough sleep provides recovery time. The National Sleep Foundation recommends that adults between the ages of 18 and 64 years of age get between seven and nine hours of sleep per night. The NSF recommends adults 65 and older get between seven and eight hours of sleep per night..

Don’t overdo it. Pushing a body too hard increases a person’s risk of injury or illness. Muscles that are overtaxed will very likely begin to feel a type of pain known as delayed onset muscle soreness, or DOMS. The American College of Sports Medicine notes that any type of activity that places unaccustomed loads on muscle may lead to DOMS, but activities such as strength training exercises, walking down hills, jogging, step aerobics and jumping are known examples of contributors to DOMS. Such activities should not necessarily be avoided, but it’s important that men and women not push themselves to the point of overexertion when performing them. Stay hydrated. Muscle soreness may appear if men and women are not drinking enough water before, during or after their workouts. A dehydrated body’s muscles do not have enough electrolytes, and that can be contributing to the feelings of soreness some exercise enthusiasts feel. Drink lots of water throughout the day, and don’t forget to bring a water bottle along to the gym when working out. Muscle soreness can be painful and difﬁcult to deal with. But the solution to address such soreness is oftentimes very simple.

ain in the lower extremities may be indicative of a condition called peripheral artery disease, or PAD. The National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute says PAD occurs when plaque builds up in the arteries that carry blood to the limbs, head and organs, contributing to atherosclerosis, or a hardening of the arteries. Blocked blood ﬂow and eventual limited oxygen supply to these areas can cause pain and numbness. When severe enough, PAD may lead to tissue death. Discomfort due to PAD usually occurs when a person is walking or exercising, because the muscles are not getting enough blood during these activities to meet their needs, says the American Heart Association. Those with diabetes may confuse pain with neuropathy, and the elderly may think pain from PAD is a normal sign of aging and stiffness.

When undiagnosed, PAD can lead to further complications, including increased risk for heart attack, stroke and coronary artery disease. Even amputation of a limb may be necessary. However, PAD is preventable when taking a few steps to improve diet. 337326N0228

According to new research published by the American Heart Association, eating more fruits and vegetables may reduce the risk of developing PAD, which affects an estimated 8.5 million people

in the United States alone. Researchers examined dietary data from roughly 3.7 million men and women, with an average age of 65. Approximately 6.3 percent of the subjects had PAD, and 29.2 percent indicated they ate three or more servings of fruits and vegetables each day. The discovery was those who reported eating three or more daily servings of fruits and vegetables had an 18 percent lower risk of PAD than those who reported eating less of these foods. The association between fruit and vegetable consumption and lower PAD risk remained even after accounting for age, gender, race, smoking status and various cardiovascular risk factors. Saturated fats, trans-fats and sodium can contribute to the formation of plaques that lead to PAD. Replacing these foods with more vegetables and fruits that are naturally lower in saturated fats can help, as can increasing dietary ﬁber consumption. One way to incorporate these types of foods is to adhere to a Mediterranean diet, which offers high proportions of legumes, fruits, vegetables; moderate amounts of ﬁsh and dairy; and limited meat and meat products. Peripheral artery disease can be a warning sign of cardiovascular trouble. Altering one’s diet may help naturally prevent or treat this condition.

Safe ways to deal with sinus pressure S

inuses are bony, hollow, air-filled cavities inside the face and skull. They are located in the lowcenter of the forehead, behind the eyes and in bones behind the nose. CedarsSinai Medical Center says the sinuses lighten the skull and produce a mucus that moisturizes the inside of the nose. Unfortunately, when colds or the flu strike, sinuses may become one of the first spots affected by these illnesses.

congestion and drainage concerns, people may try certain strategies that include ﬂushing the sinuses and thinning the mucus. It is imperative to use safe ﬂushing methods to keep the sinuses healthy.

When the sinuses are working properly, mucus will drain into the nasal passages or out the back of the throat. Most of this drainage goes unnoticed. However, the American Sinus Institute says that factors such as allergies, illness, weather changes, dehydration and dry air can make the sinus mucus thicker and drainage more difﬁcult. This is when problems like infection, stufﬁness or throat irritation may occur.

Neti pots are among the more popular methods to ﬂushing sinuses. These small teapot-like devices with elongated snouts have become a ﬁxture in many medicine cabinets. Because they are drugfree alternatives, they can be handy for those worried about antihistamines making them drowsy or reacting with other drugs. Neti pots and other nasal irrigation systems use saline to moisten and clear out nasal passages to promote drainage of sinus cavities. However, according to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, using these devices improperly can increase one’s risk of infection. CBS News says that neti pots have even been linked to the deadly Naegleria fowleri, which is otherwise known as the “braineating” amoeba.

In order to combat sinus

The key to preventing infection is to

only use previously boiled, sterile or distilled water to irrigate. Tap water is not adequately ﬁltered, says the FDA, and may contain low levels of organisms that can stay alive in nasal passages and potentially cause serious infections. Those who are concerned about nasal irrigation safety may be wise to skip neti pots and use pre-packaged, sterile saline solutions that are bottled for the purpose of alleviating congestion. However, when prepared water is used in a clean neti pot or other device, these methods can be perfectly safe. Sinuses can get clogged for many reasons. To free up breathing, people are urged to consult their physicians to learn more about how to safely irrigate their nasal passages.

Basis behind cognitive behavioral therapy

changing attitudes and behavior by focusing on the thoughts, beliefs and attitudes that inﬂuence the way a person behaves.

The World Health Organization says that one in four people in the world will be affected by mental or neurological disorders in their lives. Roughly 450 million people currently suffer from such conditions, which puts mental disorders among the leading causes of ill health and disability worldwide.

The Mayo Clinic says CBT talk therapy is performed in a structured setting, with a limited number of sessions. CBT identiﬁes negative thinking so that challenging situations can be viewed more clearly and perceptions changed. While it is a tool in treating mental health disorders, anyone can beneﬁt from CBT, especially those looking to cope with stress or other hurdles.

Mental health is not something people may feel comfortable discussing. Problems may go untreated for years, and some individuals may use selfmedicating behaviors such as drinking alcohol or using illegal drugs to alleviate their symptoms. Others continue to persist with illnesses when they do not have to. Cognitive behavioral therapy is one of the more successful methods to address mental health issues.

Cognitive behavioral therapy was developed by psychiatrist Aaron Beck in the 1960s. Beck was doing psychoanalysis at the time and discovered there was a link between thoughts and feelings. Beck discovered people weren’t always aware of automatic thoughts that popped up in their minds, particularly those negative in nature. By identifying these thoughts, a client could overcome certain difﬁculties.

The National Association of CognitiveBehavioral Therapists deﬁnes CBT as a general term for a classiﬁcation of therapies with certain similarities. It does not exist as a distinct therapeutic technique. CBT is a short-term, goaloriented psychotherapy treatment that takes a practical form to problem-solving, advises Psych Central. The power is in the hands of the person engaging in the therapy. The therapist simply provides the ideas to get started. CBT is used to treat a wide range of issues, including insomnia, anxiety, depression, alcohol abuse, relationship problems and more. The process involves

CBT is a balance between placing personal meaning on things and situations as well as the relationship between problems. Many therapists personalize CBT to meet the needs and personality of their patients. Individuals who prefer a nonpharmaceutical approach to treating their mental health condition may ﬁnd CBT can be helpful. Stress or uncomfortable feelings may arise, but therapists can work to avoid uncomfortable situations. Finding a therapist with whom they feel comfortable can help people make the most of CBT.

to succeed. Below, you will see a photo of Purity Kanyiri, a 5 year-old girl in need of a sponsor. Purity attends nursery preschool at Gikumene Primary and resides at this orphanage. For further details on mentoring Purity or another child, please contact Aida Mann at AidaMann@ optonline.com. Upon sponsorship, you will receive a photo and bio of the child you chose to sponsor. You will be able to write letters or send e-mails directly to the child to provide them with hopeful messages! Kevin and Aida often travel to visit the orphanage and welcome sponsors to come along so they can meet firsthand the child they sponsor. Growing up on Long Island, I realize it is easy to be misled into thinking everyone lives as we do, but that is not the case. Purity is much more than just someone in the photo on this page; she is one of many people across the world who is reaching out for help. Although there are plenty of ways we can spend $1 a day, using that money to mentor a child in need is truly a priceless experience!

a charting method,” said Czelusniak. “We are delighted to partner with the Stony Brook students,” said Options for Community Living Executive Director Yolanda Robano-Gross. “Occupational therapy takes a person-centered approach to intervention which is vital to helping someone overcome barriers to success. These students are helping our residents grow more confident and independent.”

Another Organization YOU Can Become Involved With...

Rescue Dogs Rock NYC ~ Locations in Huntington and NYC www.RescueDogsRockNYC.org This local non-profit exists to raise awareness of the ever-growing plight of homeless animals in this country, both in shelters and those dumped on our streets. An overwhelming amount of animals are euthanized every single day simply because they are homeless, but this organization helps lessen that amount. Rescue Dogs Rock NYC is currently looking for donations of the following: leashes, dog food, new small-sized blankets, raffle items and monetary donations (they are also an Amazon smile venue). Additionally, they’re in desperate need of fosters! If you are interested in fostering a dog or can donate any of the above, please contact Carol Breunig and Jill Galina at RDRNYCevent@gmail.com or visit their website for more information! If you would like your organization to be featured in this column, e-mail Noelle@SouthBaysNeighbor.com

When I graduated from high school, I was given the noted Dr. Seuss book, “Oh, the Places You’ll Go,” as a symbolic gesture of good luck toward any and all future pursuits. I since came to learn that this particular gift has been somewhat of a tradition for those moving onward and upward in life - no matter the age. Of course, the places outlined in the magical land of Seuss are not so much literal; but, rather, a figurative representation of the adventures which await those on the brink of adulthood, the endless potential for exploration and the Great Places which exist just over yonder. The poem reads like a veritable how-to, designed to assist in navigating the twists and turns life is sure to reveal in the years to come. Nearly 20 years beyond this stepping stone, the words

ring just as true: “Step with care and great tact… and remember that Life’s A Great Balancing Act.” Indeed it is. I recently listened to a podcast which analyzed the age-old query of whether happiness leads to success, or vice versa. Like the chicken/ egg debate, there is of course no concrete answer; however, most research seems to suggest that happiness is the starting point from which the greatest success blossoms. To be in a positive state is to have a productive, constructive mindset, making growth that much easier. Delving deeper into the topic, it was stated that those who attempt to find that tedious work/life “balance” are often misdirected in their goal. In reality, these elements will never truly exist in the perfect proportion we strive for, as our existence - and all the elements which affect

it - are in a continuous state of flux. Rather, the objective should be to find a place of fulfillment within, making the necessary adjustments along the way as we navigate those same twists and turns predicted by Dr. Seuss all those years ago. Taking this lesson into a geographic territory, it was recently brought to my attention that the passport I obtained some five years ago is nearly halfway to its expiration date, having been used precisely once on my very first international flight - first flight anywhere, in fact - to the Emerald Isle. Where to next? The fact is, it doesn’t really matter. Anywhere will do, so long as it brings pleasure and adventure and a newfound sense of discovery. Your mountain is waiting. So . . . get on your way!

Hope Children’s Fund is an international non-profit that operates with the motto “Education Is Key.” For children in Kenya, this couldn’t be more true. Without an education and the ability to speak English, these children often lack the opportunity to rise above fetching water and cutting wood. Kevin Mann, Vice President of Hope Children’s Fund, explained, “The government in Kenya doesn’t have the resources to take care of the children in their country like the United States government does.” It is not shocking to see a very young child in Kenya hopelessly wandering the streets without family...hungry and just trying to survive. Hope Children’s Fund does something about this problem. In 2001, Hope Children’s Fund registered as a nonprofit and raised $40,000 through donations – precisely enough money to begin construction on an orphanage that stands high up on a hill in Meru, Kenya. By 2005, the orphanage opened and began transforming lives for children, many of whom had lost their parents in the AIDS epidemic. This orphanage, Jerusha Mwiraria Hope Children’s Fund Home, has a dining hall and a dormitory for boys and girls. It provides the children with shelter, steady meals and the opportunity to attend school. The children are shown family values and given chores to complete in order for them to gain life skills. They currently house 100 children and have had many success stories. If you would like to be part of another one of their success stories, you can! There are 22 orphans who still need to be sponsored through Hope Children’s Fund’s sponsorship program - $1/day or $365/year will help send these children to school so they have a better chance

Haaser. As an occupational therapist, “you can build a relationship with your client/patient. You get to see their gradual progression. It’s more personal than seeing a doctor once or twice a year.” This is the second year of the Options for Community Living and Stony Brook University collaboration. As part of their field placement, the Occupational Therapy (OT) students work with groups of residents and engage group members in meaningful activities to improve their skills. “We interview, evaluate and assess the physical barriers to individual success,” described Czelusniak. “We then establish an Occupational Therapy Profile for each person that details what we call their roles, goals

and barriers. It takes into account their occupational experience and history, their interests, routines and environment.” At Options, the OT students focused on skill development helpful to all of the group participants. “Last week, we worked on coping skills. Playing a card game is one way to take your mind away from unhealthy thoughts. Another technique involves becoming aware of negative thoughts and changing them into positive thoughts using
