BOE Recognizes Outstanding Student And Staff Accomplishments

STUDENT-MUSICIANS HONORED - The Sachem Central School District Board of Education recognized a large group of student-musicians earning honors through the Suffolk County Music Educators’ Association and the Long Island String Festival Association. Photo courtesy of the Sachem Central School District Festival Association. Additionally, Sachem High School North math teacher Wendy Parente was recognized for being accepted as a Master Teacher in the New York State Master Teacher Program, joining a select group of over

1,200 distinguished K-12 educators across New York. To receive this prestigious honor, teachers must complete a rigorous application and evaluation process which includes a test, presentation on an area of expertise, an essay and interview.

Connetquot Seniors Top SAT Scores The Connetquot Central School District congratulates Connetquot High School seniors Stephanie Chen and Ethan Zhang on having achieved a score of 1,500 or better on the Scholastic Aptitude Test. The highest score a student can achieve is 1,600. Both students were recently presented with a

congratulatory plaque by Principal Michael Moran and Director of Guidance Jessica Yawney-Kohler. Both Stephanie and Ethan explained that the secret to their success on the exam was preparation. Both students used the Khan Academy to practice prior to the test. Stephanie, who acquired

a score of 1,510, is planning on attending MIT this fall where she will pursue a major in computer science and possibly a future career in artificial intelligence. Ethan earned a score of 1,500 and would like to pursue biology. He has not yet committed to a college or university.

Legislator Anker And LICADD To Host Narcan Training Class Suffolk County Legislator Sarah Anker, in conjunction with Long Island Council on Alcoholism and Drug Dependence (LICADD), will host a Narcan training class on April 19th, 2022. The class meets the NYS Department of Health requirements and will train participants to recognize an opioid overdose, administer intranasal Narcan, and know what steps to take until EMS arrives during an emergency situation. This class will be held at Longwood Public Library

in the Community Room from 6:30pm – 7:30pm on Tuesday, April 19th. Please RVSP on or before April 14th by calling 631-854-1600. Residents are also welcome to exchange their expired Narcan kits on site. “While we have made great strides in battling the opioid epidemic here in Suffolk County, it still continues to affect many of our residents and their families” said Legislator Anker. “In the event that someone is experiencing an overdose, it is important for everyone to be prepared to

administer the lifesaving drug, Narcan. Together, we can save lives and prevent fatal overdoses from occurring”. Upon successful completion of the class, participants will receive an emergency resuscitation kit that includes Narcan and fentanyl test strips. Advanced registration for the class is required. To register, or to receive additional information, please call Legislator Anker’s office at 631-8541600.

future. A shortage also figures to affect Canada, where the Canadian Nurses Association recently estimated that the country would be forced to confront a nursing shortage of roughly 60,000 nurses by 2022. Various factors are contributing to the nursing shortage in both countries, including an increasingly

large aging population that will require more and more nurses to meet its health care needs. In the United States, the Affordable Care Act, which was passed in 2010, increased access to health care for millions of people across the country, thereby creating a greater need for nurses and other

health care professionals. In addition, a greater emphasis on preventive care in many countries across the globe figures to compel more people to visit their physicians even when they’re otherwise feeling healthy. As more people prioritize preventive care, the need for more nurses will likely increase.

The demand for qualified, talented nurses figures to grow in the years to come. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, more than half a million nurses are expected to retire by 2022.

A Letter From Project9Line Dear supporters, The Department of Veterans Affairs is proposing changes to the VA Schedule for Rating Disabilities specifically pertaining to the respiratory & auditory body systems as well as mental disorders. The “savings” from these proposed changes are projected at 100 Billion dollars over the next 10 years. That equals $100,000 directly from 1 Million Veterans pockets. The main conditions affected are Sleep Apnea, Tinnitus, and PTSD. We only have 1 week left to stop them. Please alert your network around the country to tell their local congressman that we do not want these changes made. Also, please tell your media contacts the same. Together we can stop them but we must Act now. The VA claims that they will not reduce any current Ratings but it is the VA’s regular practice to periodically reassess disabled veterans who have not sought an increase. If a reassessment occurs, it may be done under the new guidelines and the risk of reduction is most definitely present. This new rating schedule may effect every veteran past, present, and future. The reason for the proposed sleep apnea changes is because many veterans who were exposed to burn pits and/or agent orange (both are dioxin) have developed the condition sleep apnea. Sleep apnea is extremely debilitating and can be fatal. Currently, if a veteran is diagnosed with sleep apnea and is prescribed a CPAP (Continuous positive airway pressure) machine they are entitled to 50% service connection. Sleep apnea symptoms include; excessive daytime sleepiness (hypersomnia), depression, anxiety, headaches, sexual disfunction, hight blood pressure, increased accidents, cardiac issues, loud snoring, gasping for air during sleep, morning headache, difficulty staying asleep (insomnia), of inability to concentrate, irritability, snoring, restlessness while sleeping, waking up suddenly after gasping or choking, trouble concentrating, forgetfulness, or crankiness, constant need to go pee at night, night sweats as well as it can lead to a stroke. The VA is proposing to eliminate

the 50% threshold verbiage that currently states “the veteran requires the use of a breathing assistance device, such as a CPAP machine” which entitles the veteran to 50% service connection. By removing this verbiage they will effectively eliminate any future applicants from getting the 50% rating for sleep apnea. The VA states “the basis for assignment of evaluation at all of these proposed levels will be the functional impairment caused by sleep apnea, not simply the method of treatment.” Also, the VA claims the “purpose of these changes is to update medical terminology, incorporate medical advances that have occurred since the last review, and provide well- defined criteria in accordance with actual clinical practice.” This is not so, It’s all about the money as shown through the VA projected savings in the VA economic impact study released on January 27, 2022. From said VA economic impact study - “VALUE: VA has determined that there are costs and transfer savings associated with this rulemaking. The total transfers savings is $15 billion from FY 2022-2026 and $57.1 billion over a 10-year period from FY 2022-2031.” Most of that savings (40 Billion) is from the proposed sleep apnea ratings changes and Tinnitus removal (15 Billion). The reason for the tinnitus changes is because almost everyone that has served has developed tinnitus. Tinnitus is the most commonly service connected condition. Over 90% of Veteran applicants are granted service connection for tinnitus (over 2 million veterans are service connected for tinnitus) and are paid about $150 per month at the current rate. The VA is proposing to eliminate the 10% rating for tinnitus and combine the symptoms of tinnitus with hearing loss and rate it under hearing loss. The issue is that the threshold for service connection for hearing loss is much more difficulty to achieve. The result of this change will make it extremely difficult for veterans to be compensated for tinnitus and the constant ringing in the ears. Also, in a separate simultaneous proposal, the VA is proposing to change the Rating Schedule for

mental health conditions. After review it seems that these changes may be beneficial to veterans but we should all be wary of assuming any benefit from these changes just yet. The definition and interpretation of the new verbiage has yet to be played out. With an estimated savings of 45 Billion over the next 10 years, it appears that the veterans with mental health conditions could be paying the price. Estimated savings based on the VA economic impact study of the proposed changes to the mental health verbiage within the ratings schedule. “Estimated impact: VA has

determined that there are costs and transfers associated with this rule making. The total budgetary impact is $18.3 billion from FT 2022-2026 and $45 billion over a 10-year period from FY 2022-2031.” We can not let them make these changes. Please take the time to alert your fellow Americans, fellow veterans, elected officials, and media connections that we do not want these changes made.

Newfield High School Library Gets Its Own Logo Recently, Newfield High School students in Computer Graphics 2 and College Computer Graphics classes competed in the Newfield High School Library Logo Design Contest after learning about the art of designing logos in their classes. “I am always incredibly amazed by our students’ talents,” said Newfield High School art teacher Ms. McIntrye. “These students brought creativity, style, and nuance to their designs, showing a keen understanding of how to use their computer graphic skills in creating their logo designs. Handson exercises like this give our students a sense of the work they might be doing if they pursue a career in commercial design.” It was a competitive contest with submissions representing a multitude of original design concepts and approaches. Congratulations to the winner, Daniel Savage, Junior, and finalists Idania Nunez, Junior, and Brian Padilla Alvarado, Senior. Daniel won a $25 Caffe Amici gift card and Idania and Brian received coupons to enjoy a free

Edward J. Bosti Students Are Internet Safe

Edward J. Bosti Elementary School fifth grade students in the Connetquot Central School District received a lesson on internet safety from Suffolk County Police Officer Justin Fernandez as part of the districtwide Dignity for All Students Week. Throughout the week’s activities, students learned that by showing respect and dignity for others daily, they can spread more love, kindness and gratitude and create

a more peaceful world without conflict. This initiative also transferred to how students behave online, making sure they act respectfully and keep themselves safe from predators. Officer Fernandez emphasized the importance of good decisions. He explained that applications like Snap Chat and Tik Tok are designed to be addicting and cautioned students to be careful not to expose themselves

to individuals looking to hack their information or prey on youngsters. He also emphasized the importance of keeping a clean and respectful digital footprint, since nothing on the internet can be truly deleted. Officer Fernandez encouraged the students to not overshare, make their pages private, be mindful of the information shared, don’t be eager to post and keep followers low.

Catholic Cemeteries of Long Island is welcoming back its annual tradition of in-person walking of the Stations of the Cross prayer services at the Cemetery of the Holy Rood in Westbury on one of the most solemn days of the Christian calendar during the 2022 Lenten season. One of the largest attended events for Catholic Cemeteries of Long Island, Catholic faithful across Long Island are invited to return and take part in the tradition of following a 1.5-mile walking route throughout Holy Rood to commemorate Christ’s redemptive sacrifice through 14 stations each year on Good Friday, which is April 15th this year. Each station is signified by a different cross/sculpture at the cemetery. Deacons from Catholic Cemeteries of Long Island will assist in leading the service for attendees. The Stations of the Cross walking services were cancelled each of the past two years due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This year, hundreds are expected to take part in the Good Friday services. Faithful can also experience Holy Rood’s Stations of the Cross on their own with self-directed tours or via a virtual option for those who wish to partake from their homes.

Hope for Youth www.hfyny.org Hope For Youth’s dedicated team of staff, volunteers and interns facilitates positive change in the lives of Long Island children, youth and families. The non-proﬁt runs what they call a Kinship Caregiver Program, which helps create a better Long Island by offering a child a pathway to a better future.

Equally as sad, Long Island, like many communities across the country, is in dire need of foster parents for children from birth to the age of 18, whether these caregivers have informal or formal custody of children. Such care isn’t always provided by unrelated individuals. When provided by a relative, it’s called “kinship care.” Kinship foster parents must provide full-time protection and nurturing of a child, as well as a stable and safe home. They must be above the age of 21 and meet a number of additional eligibility requirements. Designated kinship foster parents receive various types of ﬁnancial support. They also receive family services, case management support and other supportive services.

Families have access to such Hope For Youth services as mental health, ChildParent Psychotherapy, Children and Family Treatment Support Services and the Health Home program. In addition, Hope For Youth partners with the “Parenting the Second Time Around” (PASTA) team from the Riverhead-based Cornell Cooperative Extension of Suffolk County to help grandparents navigate the educational, medical and legal systems to get the support and resources they need. Their experts assist with such challenges as discipline, child development, legal concerns and rebuilding a family. Cornell Cooperative Extension of Suffolk County also provides support groups for both adults and children, plus monthly social activities for families. For more information about Hope For Youth’s Kinship Caregiver Program, contact Leslie Messeder at (631) 6915100 x6306 or email lmesseder@hfyny. org.

Hope For Youth’s Kinship Caregiver Program is designed to help and support this category of caregiver, bearing in mind that the courts are obliged to make every effort to reunite a child with a parent. As a long-term objective, Hope For Youth’s Kinship Caregiver services focus on increasing the caregiver’s capacity to care for the children in their care, while easing the burden of “parenting.” Hope For Youth specialists assess the family’s needs, make appropriate
