(NAPSI)—Allergies are nothing to sneeze at but you can make your home more comfortable for people who have allergies and improve your indoor air quality—by cleaning in an often forgotten place. Indoor air quality can be a big concern for many

families. After all, in a typical six-room home, up to 40 pounds of dust— including dangerous chemicals and other pollutants—is created annually through everyday living. These contaminants are pulled into the HVAC system and recirculated

as much as seven times a day. Over time, this leads to built-up contaminants in the ductwork. Since your heating and cooling system is the lungs of your home, you want to keep it clear.

Suffolk County Sheriff, Errol D. Toulon, Jr. visited Newfield High School in Selden yesterday as an ongoing part of the Sheriff’s Listening Tour. During the visit, Sheriff Toulon met with a group of 12 students ranging from 9th-12th grade in an open “round table” discussion about some of the difficulties they are facing within their school and community. They discussed subjects such as bullying, vaping, drug and opioid use, and gangs, and were able to share with the Sheriff their thoughts and opinions on these topics, as well as their ideas for solutions to the problems. Senior, Ryan Murphy, said “It was one of the best things I

have ever participated in. It was truly an amazing experience getting to speak to the Sheriff about issues in the school.” Sheriff Toulon shared with the students a little about his background in corrections and law enforcement, as well as his vision to work with the students to come up with programs to address the issues arising in their school. Sheriff Toulon was pleased with how receptive the students were: “I was so impressed with these students and how open they were to share. I want to break down the barrier between law enforcement and the students. I want them to know who their Sheriff is and feel confident to come to me with any

issues they have.” The Sheriff plans to go back to Newfield High School in the fall to visit with the students he met with today, as well as the faculty and the PTA, to discuss partnering on solutions to the issues raised by the students. Principal, Scott Graviano said, “To have our newly elected Sheriff take the time to speak with and hear the issues of our high school students is extraordinary. I’ve never seen it before. My students felt empowered and appreciated. I look forward to working closely with the Sheriff’s Office in the future to ensure the overall success of our students.”

Center in Brentwood. The CNA students are part of the Eastern Long Island Academy of Applied Technology, the Career and Technical Education Program at Eastern Suffolk BOCES (ESBOCES). Collaboration across the numerous ESBOCES programs provides students with in-depth, real-life perspectives and opportunities to utilize valuable hands-on applications. Working together, students used four mannequins to learn how to care for a burn patient, remove a urinary drainage bag, conduct proper patient

assessment, and change the dressing on a patient after a tracheotomy. This included taking a culture, venting the area with a suction tube, and donning isolation protection gear to prevent microorganism contamination. Said Gina Marie Martin, Nurse Assisting teacher, “The goal here is to see if my students want to continue their education by applying for the LPN program. Our sim lab is the closest they will get to doing the level of work LPNs do. Therefore, there is no better place for them to make that determination than here.”

Elaine Faith Thompson, a Long Island native from Bohemia, is back at Shinnecock Hills Golf Club. The United States Golf Association has chosen her as one of several artists who will paint a limitededition, fine-art print commemorating the 2018 U.S. Open Championship. The 118th U.S. Open will be contested June 14th17th, at Shinnecock Hills in Southampton. Thompson felt honored to receive the phone call on December 6th and to have been commissioned to paint the golf course for the 118th U.S. Open Championship. She spent the following two days photographing the magnificent golf course and clubhouse. Given her roots, Thompson has worked on many paintings for USGA championships in Long Island and the New York Metropolitan area.

Her first golf painting was of Bethpage State Park’s Black Course for the 2002 U.S. Open. She also worked with the USGA on posters for the 2004 U.S. Open at Shinnecock Hills, the 2006 U.S. Open at Winged Foot Golf Club, the 2009 U.S. Open at Bethpage Black and the 2013 U.S. Women’s Open at Sebonack Golf Club. Limited edition prints will be available soon. Thompson is also well known for her New York and Long Island scenic works, including: lighthouses; The Big Duck; Theodore Roosevelt’s home at Sagamore Hill; Fire Island; Riverhead Raceway and the Peconic River; Aqueduct and Roosevelt Raceways; Smithtown Bull; Downtown Sayville and Schoolhouse; Mount Sinai Garden; Lady Golfer at Timber Point Timber; and the Statue of Liberty. Her portraits include

“Pope Francis in America,” Derek Jeter, John Heisman, and George Washington at Valley Forge. Her other portraits are of pets, houses, cars, boats, motorcycles and planes, all painted in selected scenes. At the reception Thompson will also be displaying other art including very affordable prints which make great personalized gifts for Mother’s Day and Father’s Day. The most famous commission that Thompson received was from President Ronald Reagan for the official poster design of the National Vietnam Veterans Memorial Statue in Washington, D.C. Unveiling of the U.S. Open Top Secret painting will be on Sunday, April 29th at the Bellport Community Center, 4 Bell Street, Bellport at 3 p.m. An artist reception will be from 2 to 5 p.m.

Just last weekend, I was able to satisfy my urge for a little springtime strolling in the city when the opportunity arose to accompany a friend from college to several New York Bridal Fashion Week runway shows. While I was initially far more interested in the aimless wandering aspect of the day, I have to admit I was pleasantly surprised by the experience of attending these avant-garde displays. Never having heard of the featured designers prior to seeing their latest collections in person, they proved to be quite impressive. Sure, I could have done without the crowns of flowers as accent, and I’m fairly certain I will not be accessorizing any future bridal gowns with high-top sneakers; but, quirks aside, some of the styles were quite stunning when viewed more as works of art rather than practical fashion. At the close of one of the shows, the audience was caught

off guard by an impromptu wedding proposal, orchestrated by the boyfriend of one of the featured models. As she stood aghast, he expressed his love and desire to spend the rest of his life with the woman before him, saying he could think of no more appropriate venue to pop the question than on a runway in the midst of bridal week. Judging by the standing ovation delivered by the crowd - among them, the family of the blushing bride-to-be - it seemed he couldn’t have picked a more opportune moment, one they will surely treasure forever. Bridal business aside, we managed to squeeze in some sightseeing on what happened to be one of the warmest days we have been graced with so far this season. From the Flatiron District over to the West Village, we traversed a solid six miles or so of the downtown area, taking in the nuances of each neighborhood and - of

course - finding time to snap some photos along the way. It was during an ill-fated “selfie” attempt in front of the Flatiron Building that a kind woman took pity on us and offered to take the photo, saying, “I know it’s probably taboo to walk up to random strangers and volunteer to take their picture, but you two seemed like you could use a little help.” Why yes, we could indeed. Score one for acts of kindness from fellow tourists. In all, it was a day short on the sort of haphazard adventure which has become the norm with most New York City day trips I have ventured on; actually, quite seamless. It’s funny, the tendency to almost miss the chaos when things go according to plan. I’ll have to remind myself of that irony the next time I’m traipsing 50 blocks out of the way to make a reservation at the third restaurant on the list, while carrying my shoes.

Fog’s dense mist thick with dew Wraps me in its shroud of the unknown Blinded by cloudy vapors I struggle to find solace Solid grounding corrupts my spirit But keeps me in its shadows That fly by like ghostly remnants of sadness I want to forget, but I can’t Light slowly seeps into my cloudy view As I stumble through to find my way Out of confusion, discouragement While holding on to these pale renderings With light so thin I chase after its glow I want to covet its brightness Bring resignation to my soul Shake the dew from my brow And walk Into the sunshine Into the rain Into life again . . . Fog is slowly lifting Rendering my spirit free Like you are; You closed your eyes Went to sleep And crossed over into heaven.

The Dolphin Awesome as he moved around Within this sacred space Holding hands and fearsome bound Salt water left its taste Responding to a slapping sound And stepping up the pace He leaped above, rose unbound Airborne in freedom’s face Crashing down and coming round Then fade without a trace When back he comes, in play rebound To welcome our embrace In tears of laughter, falling down He’s given up the race Holding on, with fear replaced Sweet Nature comes as grace

April Charity of the Month:

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. 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. 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.

Helping You Help Others

Boys & Girls Club Week Last week Deputy Presiding Officer joined children at the Boys & Girls Club to celebrate “National Boys & Girls Club Week.” He presented the Club with a proclamation and joined the children in a community service project, where they made cards for active-duty military members from the local

community. “It is always a pleasure to visit the Boys & Girls Club,” stated Deputy Presiding Officer Rob Calarco. “The staff mentors the children to become responsible citizens and community members. And they have a lot of fun!” Deputy Presiding Officer Calarco was also on hand

to help present the “Youth of the Year Award” to Maria Calle. Maria has been a member of the club for many years and has help to organize coat drives, a March for Our Lives bus trip to Washington D.C., and mentor younger children in their schoolwork. Maria will represent the Club at a New York State conference.

VFW Post Reopens Deputy Presiding Officer Rob Calarco was on hand to celebrate the grand re-opening of the Henry James Jones VFW Post 2937 in Medford. After an extensive renovation, the century-old structure is ready once again to host meetings and community events. “This has been an extensive renovation that the entire community can be proud of,” stated Deputy Presiding Officer Rob Calarco. “The Veterans have a beautiful space they

can not only meet in, but rent out for community functions, bringing in income that ensures their future.” Deputy Presiding Officer Rob Calarco, along with the Town of Brookhaven, the Medford Hamlet Foundation, The Medford Taxpayers and Civic Association, the Medford Chamber of Commerce and countless local residents all pitched in financially and physically to bring the historic structure back to life. Local labor unions

donated extensive labor and materials to replace the HVAC system, install a new kitchen and flooring, hang new sheetrock and paint. “A very special thank you goes to the Long Island Federation of Labor, Laborers Local 66, Plumbers Local 200, IBEW Local 25, and the National Council of Carpenters for all of their time. This project would not have been physically or financially possible without them.

Best in Show

Four students from the Eastern Long Island Academy of Applied Technology received “Best in Show” distinctions at the recent Long Island Media Arts Show held in Dix Hills at the Five Towns College campus. The Academy is the Career and Technical Education Program of Eastern Suffolk BOCES and has schools in Oakdale, Bellport, and Riverhead.

One Academy student was recognized for his work in the videography category and three were recognized for their art in the photography division. The Long Island Media Arts Show provides a forum for high school students across the region to showcase their graphic arts, photography, and videography in an environment where they receive evaluations

How to save more for retirement after age 50 2017, almost 40 million households in the United States had no retirement savings at all. In addition, the Employee Beneﬁt Research Institute found that Americans have a retirement savings deﬁcit of $4.3 trillion, meaning they have $4.3 trillion less in retirement savings than they should.

Whether it’s advice from their parents, a response to television ads urging viewers to save for retirement or their own ﬁnancial savvy, many of today’s young professionals recognize the importance of saving for retirement from the moment they receive their ﬁrst paychecks. But men and women over 50 may not have been so practical, and many such professionals may feel a need to save more as their retirements draw ever closer.

Redirect nonessential expenses into savings. Some retirement accounts, such as IRAs, are governed by deposit limits. But others, such as 401(k) retirement plans, have no such limits. Men and women can examine their spending habits in an effort to ﬁnd areas where they can cut back on nonessential expenses, such

Reconsider your retirement date. Deciding to work past the age of 65 is another way men and women over 50 can save more for retirement. Many professionals now continue working past the age of 65 for a variety of reasons. Some may suspect they’ll grow bored in retirement, while others may keep working out of ﬁnancial need. Others may simply love their jobs and want to keep going until their passion runs out. Regardless of the reason, working past the age of 65 allows men and women to keep earning and saving for retirement, while also delaying the ﬁrst withdrawal from their retirement savings accounts.

staying in the same area but downsizing to a smaller home where their taxes and utility bills will be lower. Adults who decide to move to more affordable areas or into smaller, less expensive homes can then redirect the money they are saving into interest-bearing retirement or savings accounts.

Reconsider your current and future living situation. Housing costs are many people’s most considerable expense, and that won’t necessarily change in retirement. Even men and women who have paid off their mortgages may beneﬁt by moving to a region with lower taxes or

Many people begin saving for retirement the moment they cash their ﬁrst professional paycheck. But even adults over the age of 50 sometimes feel a need to save more as their retirement dates draw closer, and there are many ways to do just that.

Why buy life insurance? dependent care. Beyond end-of-life bills and care, life insurance can offer other advantages, say the experts at Allstate Insurance Company. Life insurance can provide a family with a financial safety net. When a beneficiary is named, life insurance can serve as an inheritance for that person or people. Heirs may face estate taxes after a loved one dies, and life insurance benefits may help offset all or a portion of the costs.

Life insurance needs frequently come up

when making plans, and many people find that purchasing a life insurance policy is a worthwhile investment. Life insurance holds an important place in overall financial planning. One of the most apparent benefits of life insurance is that it will provide a considerable sum of cash upon the insured’s death, which can be put toward the cost of funeral arrangements, housing and

Cruising tips and tricks A cruise can be an ideal vacation for seniors who have the time to get away.

ruising can be an ideal vacation for people of any age, but particularly for seniors. Cruises combine all-inclusive meal packages with accommodations, breathtaking ports of call and pre-arranged activities, so vacationers do not have to lift a ﬁnger for days on end. Cruising also can be a social activity, meaning singletons can meet up with other like-minded people and enjoy the cruising experience together. Cruise Lines International Association, a global organization advocating for the cruising community, found that 25.8 million

passengers expected to take a cruise in 2017, and various cruise companies invested more than $6.8 billion in new ocean vessels. Whether a person is new to cruising or is a seasoned ocean or river traveler, there are always techniques to try to score great deals or enjoy the experience even further. Consider these tips and tricks, courtesy of Royal Caribbean, The Cruise Critic, the Travel Channel and other vacationing experts: Research the ships, and not just the

Death beneﬁts may be decreased if desired, and premiums can be skipped, reduced or increased. Business owners also can use life insurance policies to their advantage. Including life insurance with the list of other beneﬁts offered to prospective employees can entice top-notch candidates. Sole proprietors may use life insurance as a business continuation plan so that insurance proceeds can keep the business in the black until it is sold or a replacement owner is found.

There may be beneﬁts to life insurance while a person is living as well. The life insurance information site Term Life 2 Go says that, depending on the policy, life insurance can be borrowed against to pay off debt, buy a house or live off of dividends from the life insurance investment. This can provide a source of supplemental retirement income.

Shopping for life insurance requires careful research and an understanding of the products available. Consumers should have a thorough understanding of term and whole life policies, what premiums will cost, what the death benefit will pay, and if there are any living benefits. For example, living benefits may cover some costs for chronically or terminally ill people.

Gateway Financial advisors say that many life insurance plans are extremely ﬂexible and can be modiﬁed as needs change.

Working with an experienced life insurance advisor can help people navigate the types of policies available to them.

cruise lines. Cruise lines each offer their own amenities and are known for certain features. One cruise line may be a better match for young singles, while others may cater to families. In addition, certain ships may have their own special features such as water slides, athletic events, casinos and more. Choose a ship that meets your needs. Arrive the night before. There’s no need to rush to the port to board the ship. Extend the vacation a little further by arriving a night or two before and checking into a nearby hotel. Some hotels may offer free parking or shuttle service to the ship. Choose a close port. Select a port within driving distance to avoid airline costs and the extra hassles of coordinating luggage and travel to the port. Book dining ahead of time. Cruise ships often have a main dining room and then specialty restaurants. If you want a particular meal, make reservations before leaving port. Certain restaurants may offer

discounts or perks, such as a free bottle of wine or premiere seating. Understand what’s included. Cruise ships have many foods and drinks that are included in the packaged price. Certain branded items, such as specialty coffees or ice creams, may be available at an additional charge, as are premium drinks. But chances are you can ﬁnd a free, similar version elsewhere on the ship. Explore special discounts. When shopping for a cruise, see if there are discounts available for seniors, teachers, people in the military or those who belong to certain clubs. Cruises often love to incentivize, so it pays to ask about discount pricing. Make a list of activities. It can be easy to get overwhelmed by all of the offerings on a cruise ship, so much so that there’s some stress over trying to ﬁt it all in. Recognize that you can’t see or hear it all, and prioritize what’s important to you. Make sure you have plenty of time to relax. Book at the right time. Cruises may be more available after Labor Day when kids go back to school and the weeks between Thanksgiving and Christmas when others are too busy to travel. Cruising can be an ideal vacation for travelers who are savvy enough to do their research.

Seniors becoming more tech-savvy

Getaway

Technology is the future, and digital communication has opened many doors for people around the world. Although younger generations have grown up with technology at their ﬁngers, Baby Boomers and older adults did not. But in spite of that, studies show that growing numbers of seniors are open to the idea of technology and even seeking ways to further their use and knowledge.

Spring!

According to a 2014 study by Pew Research Center, 59 percent of seniors regularly use the internet — a 6 percent increase from the previous study conducted in 2012. Today, 67 percent of adults age 65 and older say they go online. Pew also says that, although seniors consistently have lower rates of technology adoption than the general public, four in 10 seniors now own smartphones, which is more than double the amount that did in 2013. Seniors in Australia are especially tech savvy, as Deloitte’s mobile consumer survey found 78 percent of Australian seniors aged 65 to 75 own a smartphone, up from 69 percent in 2016.

While stereotypes have long painted seniors as technologically inept, seniors are actually more socially and digitally

engaged than ever before. Seniors use technology in many different ways. Some use mobile apps to manage medications and doctor’s appointments and monitor their ﬁtness regimens. Some families employ 24/7 alert systems or smarthome technology to keep seniors comfortable and safe at home for as long as possible. Noninvasive, “smart” technology can analyze factors such as whether or not doors are left open, if there has been movement in a home or whether appliances/lights are on or off. This represents a great way for families to stay informed and provide assistance even if they are not nearby. SilverSurfers, a senior-based information website, says other tech that seniors are embracing includes online dating; audio and digital books; online shopping, which is especially valuable to seniors who have mobility issues; and social media, which can keep seniors connected to others and feeling less lonely. A study conducted by researchers from the University of California, San Francisco found 18 percent of American seniors live alone, and 43 percent report feeling lonely on a regular basis. Loneliness can increase death risk. Social media and internet connectivity can be an important tool in helping seniors feel like active members of society. Technology is no longer just for teenagers or active workers. Seniors are increasingly embracing technology and becoming a fast-growing demographic for tech usage.

Although there is no deﬁnitive way to prevent dementia, living a long, vibrant life may be possible by encouraging some healthy habits for the brain. It is never too late or too early to begin health and lifestyle changes.

Exercise

Becoming more active can improve brain volume, reduce risk for dementia and improve thinking and memory skills. The journal Neurology found that older people who vigorously exercise performed better on cognitive tests than others of the same age, placing them at the equivalent of 10 years younger. Increased blood ﬂow that occurs with physical activity may help generate new neurons in the hippocampus, an area of the brain involved with learning and memory. The Harvard Medical School says aerobic exercise may help improve brain tissue by improving blood ﬂow and reducing the chances of injury to the brain from cholesterol buildup in blood vessels.

Quit Smoking

The Alzheimer’s Association indicates that evidence shows smoking increases the risk of cognitive decline. Smoking can impair blood ﬂow to the brain and cause small strokes that may damage blood vessels.

ognitive decline is a condition that is often associated with aging, but even middle-aged people can experience memory loss or cognition issues.

Foods that are good for the heart and blood vessels also are good for the brain. These include fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains, ﬁsh-based proteins, unsaturated fats and foods containing omega-3 fatty acids. Neurologists state that, while research on diet and cognitive function is limited, diets, such as Mediterranean and MediterraneanDASH (Dietary Approaches to Stop

Seniors can include healthy lifestyle habits, such as exercise and balanced diets, to reduce the risk of dementia and other neurological issues. Hypertension), may contribute to a lower risk of cognitive issues.

Consume Caffeine

Caffeine may help boost memory performance and brain health. A Journal of Nutrition study found people ages 70 and older who consumed more caffeine scored better on tests of mental function than those who consumed less caffeine. Caffeine may help improve attention span, cognitive function and feelings of well-being. Information from Psychology Today also indicates caffeine may help in the storage of dopamine, which can reduce feelings of depression and anxiety. In addition, compounds in cocoa and coffee beans may improve vascular health and help repair cellular damage due to high antioxidant levels.

Work The Brain

Engaging in mentally stimulating activities can create new brain connections and more backup circuits, states Dr. Joel Salinas, a neurologist at Harvard-afﬁliated Massachusetts General Hospital. Working the brain through puzzles, reading and participating in social situations can stimulate the release of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), a molecule essential for repairing brain cells and creating connections between them. A good way to combine these lifestyle factors is to take an exercise class with friends, mixing the social, stimulation and exercise recommendations together. Cognitive decline can come with aging, but through healthy habits, people can reduce their risk of memory loss and dementia.

Longwood Central School District has been honored, for the tenth time, as one of the nation’s best communities for music education by The National Association of Music Merchants (NAMM) Foundation for an outstanding commitment to music education. The Best Communities for Music Education designation is awarded to districts that demonstrate outstanding achievement in efforts to provide music access and education to all students. To qualify for the Best Communities designation, Longwood answered detailed questions about funding, graduation requirements, music class participation, instruction time, facilities, support for the music program, and community music-making programs. Responses were verified with school officials and reviewed by The Music Research Institute at the University of Kansas. “Being named among the best for music education in America enables us to let others know what we’ve known for a long time –

that our music education program is well-supported by our Board of Education and administration, and by our community as a whole,” said Dr. John J. Gallagher, Director of Fine Arts. “Our students are consistently selected for local, regional and state-level music festivals, earning high ratings for their performance abilities and partake in many performance-based opportunities outside of school as well.” This award recognizes that Longwood is leading the way with learning opportunities as outlined in the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA). The legislation guides implementation in the states and replaces the No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB) which was often criticized for an overemphasis on testingwhile leaving behind subjects such as music. ESSA recommends music and the arts as essential elements of a well-rounded education for all children. Research into music education continues to demonstrate educational/

cognitive and social skill benefits for children who make music. In a series of landmark studies by scientists and researchers at Northwestern University a link was found between students in community music programs and lifelong academic success, including higher high school graduation rates and college attendance. In another study from the University, it was discovered that the benefits of early exposure to music education improve how the brain processes and assimilates sounds, a trait that lasts well into adulthood. The NAMM Foundation is a nonprofit supported in part by the National Association of Music Merchants and its approximately 10,300 members around the world. The foundation advances active participation in music making across the lifespan by supporting scientific research, philanthropic giving, and public service programs.

Hearing Help Online (NAPSI) Better hearing may be at your fingertips. No, don’t stick your fingers in your ears. Put your hands on your computer to access free, easy-to-use online tools designed to help you live well with hearing loss. A new suite of online tools makes it easier to manage everyday communication and important decisions

about your hearing. Developed by the nonprofit Ida Institute, Ida Telecare is a combination of interactive tools and engaging videos that help you identify your communication needs and concerns. These tools can help you get the most from time spent with your hearing care professional and provide ongoing

support post-appointment. “Research consistently shows that people who self-manage their hearing loss experience greater satisfaction with hearing care and hearing technologies,” explains Ida Institute Managing Director Lise Lotte Bundesen. The site’s Living Well section helps prepare

you for appointments by encouraging you to think about your needs and concerns with a series of open-ended questions. My Turn to Talk lets you prioritize the people with whom you communicate. Web-based drag-anddrop technology lets you create circles of those “most important,” “very important” and “less

important” people. A series of prompts can help you organize your thoughts. The Everyday Life with Hearing Loss part provides tips to help you manage conversations, simple strategies to alert others to your hearing loss, ways to improve communication, and ideas on day-to-day interactions. The Storytelling

Videos offer insight and inspiration from others’ experiences. You can save notes and completed sessions to your computer and e-mail them to your audiologist or print them out to bring to your appointment. Then, you can work together to map out the strategies and goals that are best for you.

educational components that are related to reallife application, including math, science and civics lessons. The program also includes a Weigh to Recycle component that offers students the opportunity to perform much of the recycling themselves and allow them to measure their results. Each week, students will be encouraged to help empty their classroom paper bin and bring the materials to a designated area where it can be weighed on an industrial scale. The students will be able to keep track of the amount of paper that is recycled in the building, log the data, and at the end of the month announce the amount of paper that was recycled and the environmental benefit in quantifiable terms. The New York State Shared Services Initiative signed into law by Governor Andrew M. Cuomo allows participating municipalities and school districts to be eligible for state matching funds for savings achieved through

cooperative efforts. Suffolk County is currently working on a number of programs with towns, villages and school districts in a plan that was approved unanimously by municipal leaders last year. Matching funds will be applied for in conjunction with the Shared Services Initiative as well as efforts to obtain recycling grants from New York State. The Suffolk School Recycling Program is modeled off of the awardwinning Town of North Hempstead School Recycling Partnership Program. The initiative was launched in 2008 under then-North Hempstead Supervisor Jon Kaiman, in which the Town distributed recycling bins to every single classroom and office in each of its participating 11 school districts. To date, more than 46,000 students have participated in the program. The Town was the recipient of the New York State Environmental Excellence Award in 2009 in recognition of the program’s success.

Suffolk School Recycling Suffolk County Executive Steve Bellone today launched the first of its kind Suffolk School Recycling Program, a partnership between Suffolk County and six school districts that will help schools meet their New York State recycling mandate, save taxpayer dollars and teach students, faculty and the community to become stewards of the environment. Suffolk County will deploy approximately 1,000 recycle bins to 11 schools, enabling nearly 6,000 students to participate in the program. “The School Recycling Pilot Program is the latest innovation for how municipalities can work together to reduce their carbon footprint,” said County Executive Bellone. “I want to thank our school district superintendents and Winter Brothers for their willingness to participate in this groundbreaking program and bring these best practices into the classroom.” Under the program,

schools will be able to reduce the frequency of trash pickup and dumpster volume while diverting more recyclables from entering into the trash. With the potential of thousands of students learning the importance of recycling and engaging in the process themselves, this will prevent vast amounts of paper and plastic that are generated from schools from ending up in waste streams. Based on its own analysis, Suffolk County will initially tap into 5,798 students with the launch of the pilot program, utilizing them as a resource to recycle in the classroom. Suffolk County anticipates working with more school districts in the near future to rollout the recycling program on a full scale. Those who participate will be required to sign an intermunicipal agreement that clarifies the respective roles and responsibilities of the various municipal partners. The initial school districts participating in the pilot include:

• Elwood School District • Brentwood School District • Hampton Bays School District • Remsenburg-Speonk School District • Middle Country School District • Quogue School District Program Supplies Each school will receive two recycling bins in each classroom, office, cafeteria, and athletic field, along with scales that will allow the students to measure recycled materials and report on environmental impact. Elementary and Middle Schools Every classroom, shared space and office will receive two recycling bins with specialized lids, with one for paper and one for comingles such as empty plastic, glass and aluminum. Each building will be supplied with one industrial scale to participation the “Weigh to Recycle Program and measure the results of their success. High Schools

Every classroom, shared space and office will receive on recycle bin with a specialized lid for all mixed recyclables including paper, plastic, glass and aluminum. All Buildings The custodial staff of each building will receive 50 gallon rolling bins to collect the recyclables. Each cafeteria will receive a recycling center, outdoor bins will be supplied for athletic fields, and an additional dumpster will be supplied for each school by the carter. School Recycling Manual Suffolk County will provide participating school districts with a School Recycling Manual, which will serve as a guide for the schools in understanding the various aspects of the program including the process of recycling, the program implementation, items that are considered recyclable and nonrecyclable, program supplies and many more. The manual will contain a voluntary curriculum of

Holy Trinity High School gym, Hicksville – The second annual Diocesan STEM Fair was held at Holy Trinity High School on Saturday and provided a showcase for many of the outstanding projects from individual Catholic elementary schools. The fair, which displayed and demonstrated 85 different student projects, highlights the rigorous STEM education programs that are in place at the Diocesan schools. The program, which is orchestrated by Assistant Superintendent Anthony Biscione brings together some of the best and brightest science students from all across Long Island. “The program is unique because it connects our schools at multiple levels.” Stated Biscione. All of the projects, which are created by elementary students, are peer reviewed by Honors science students from St. John the Baptist and Holy Trinity Diocesan high schools, by science teachers from the high schools, by educators from St. John’s University,

and by officials from LITEEA, the Long Island Technology Engineering Education Association” Biscione stated. In addition to the student’s exhibits in the gym, this year’s event included something called the ‘Mercy Contraption’, a Rube Goldberg type of device that was conceived, created and demonstrated by the students from Our Lady of Mercy elementary school in Hicksville. While each project demonstrated at the STEM Fair qualified to be part of the event by winning their respective local events, there were a number of projects identified and recognized at the STEM Fair for their outstanding effort. Projects were broken out into two levels; level one was for students from the 5th and 6th grades and level 2 was for 7th and 8th grade students. Because the focus is on helping students develop problem-solving skills, the students’ instructions were to pick a problem, identify a proposed solution, then create a prototype that demonstrates your

solution. The winning projects included the level 1 winner by Matthew Zaromatidis from Notre Dame School in New Hyde Park. Matthew’s project explored the design for earthquake-proof buildings. Of the level 2 competitors, the judges liked David Solan’s app for day-planning best. David is a student at St. Patrick School in Huntington. Each level recognized the top three projects and the winners took home gift cards of $75, 50 and 25 dollars respectively acknowledging their first, second or third place finishes. “Of course, each student who gets to this level is a winner” Stated Diocesan Schools Superintendent Dr. Kathleen Walsh, “and each was recognized with a certificate in an award ceremony that followed the fair.” Walsh and Biscione personally handed out the awards and congratulated all of the participating students and their rightfully proud parents.

Long Island sisters Jenn Rogak and Rachel Joffe are walking in the LI2Day Walk, a 13.1 mile walk to be held on June 9th in Shirley in Suffolk County. The annual event raises funds for breast cancer organizations and research programs on Long Island. Jenn and Rachel are on the Adelphi Team and they have raised funds for the LI2Day Walk. The Adelphi NY Statewide Breast Cancer Hotline & Support Program, located in Garden City, is a beneficiary of the event

and provides emotional support, counseling and information to people coping with a diagnosis of breast cancer. Says Jenn, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who lives in Stony Brook, “I walk to support and honor so many people who have been affected by breast cancer. Just this past year alone four of my friends (who are in their early 40's) were diagnosed with breast cancer. I have witnessed the physical and emotional impact breast cancer can have on individuals.”

Rachel, a Greenlawn resident and also a social worker, participated in the walk last year. “I like this walk because the money is paid directly to agencies that add to the quality of life of someone diagnosed with breast cancer. I like that 100% of the proceeds are given back,” she says. There is a registration fee of $75 and each walker is encouraged to raise a minimum of $500. To raise the funds to participate Rachel and Jen did a charitable 50/50 super bowl pool. There is also an opportunity for those who can’t walk, but still would like to participate by raising money to register as a “virtual walkers.” There is no registration fee or fundraising requirement for virtual walkers. Weekly training walks are held in Eisenhower Park as well as in Heckscher State Park. To participate visit: https://www.li2daywalk. org. During the registration process participants may select to join the Adelphi Team. For information, call the Adelphi Breast Cancer Program at 800.877.8077.

“We’ll dispose of a lot more this year as we double the number of Northwell facilities participating. We want to do everything we can to keep these drugs from falling in to the wrong hands. This is a hugely important community service we’re proud to provide.” Unused prescription medications can be a temptation for curious teenagers and others to experiment with opiates or other drugs. Northwell Health has made one of its missions to help curb the opioid epidemic in New York State through its Northwell Health Opioid Management Steering Committee, which is an outgrowth of the successful pilot program at Southside Hospital. There were 2,726 deaths

related to opioids in New York State in 2015, according to the New York State Department of Health, up from 2,256 the prior year. New York City saw 893 of those deaths; there were 463 more on Long Island. “Hearing these staggering numbers each year breaks my heart and has prompted us at Northwell Health to aggressively work in a variety of ways to try to lessen the amount of opiate and prescription drug abuse in our area,” said Jonathan Morgenstern, PhD, assistant vice president of addiction services at Northwell Health. “People bringing their unused prescriptions to these sites can help us make an impact on the

We treat captains of industry and captains of the fire department. We’ve served this richly diverse region as a community hospital for more than 60 years. And as the area has grown, so have we. But as Long Island doctors, nurses, and healthcare professionals, we’ve never outgrown our devotion to the health of the community we all call home. That commitment can be seen in the Knapp Cardiac Care Center, a new surgical pavilion, our unique ER approach, our women’s imaging, breast health, orthopedics, bariatrics, and so much more.

So while we’ve updated our brand to represent our growth and the patient-first changes we’ve made, there is one thing that will never change: Our commitment to make you feel as comfortable in our home as you do in your own.

Your community. Your hospital. bmhmc.org/community

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.
