Green & White & Golden Memories whose dream job it was to become a clubhouse reporter for the New York Yankees. Big dreams indeed for a girl who had never held a job outside of a part-time assistant teaching gig at her local dance studio. But that’s what high school was for, to cultivate those lofty goals and give birth to the endless possibilities borne from a college education and our eventual entrance into the great workforce. I often wonder how many of us wound up doing anything comparable to that which we aspired to on that particular day, some 18 years ago. How many ever truly know what they want to be when they grow up? Perhaps we’re not supposed to. Much has changed in the nearly two decades that have elapsed as we spread our wings and went our respective separate ways in the search for a lifetime of fulfillment. For some, college called, degrees were earned and positions accepted at prestigious corporations. For others, the path evolved a bit differently, perhaps in settling down to start
a family and build a home, or to explore other creative outlets and passions en route to a less traditional existence. To each his or her own, as they say. Ten years later, at our first reunion gathering, we reconvened as a class, a bit older and a tad wiser; overall, though, not much seemed to have changed. Looking across the bar at the old familiar faces, it was as if no time had passed. In the blink of an eye, we were back on that field, decked out in our Bulldog green and white, the world at our fingertips. In just two short years, we will likely gather once again, this time at our 20th reunion. How will the stories have evolved? What new tales will we have to share? Will the past still seem as easily within reach as it once was? I have a feeling it will. As they say in my district ~ Once a Bulldog, Always a Bulldog ~ and it’s true. To the graduating Class of 2018 . . . may your memories be just as fond 18 years from now as they are today. Mine certainly are.

with Jamie Lynn Ryan As I write these words, the Class of 2018 prepares to march onto the old Kienle Field at Lindenhurst Middle School to the familiar strains of Pomp & Circumstance. In just a few short hours, they will embark on the next chapter of their lives, as proud alumni of Lindy High, the last dozen or so years of schooling an already-fading memory. I remember it like it was yesterday. June 25th, 2000, a Saturday morning. Hundreds of folding chairs lined the old grass field, as our parents and loved ones perched on the wooden bleachers excitedly waiting for the ceremony to begin. Behind the scenes, in the locker room of the gymnasium, I paced nervously in my cap and gown, binder in hand, silently running through the words of my valedictory address. As my guidance counselor passed by, she glanced my way. “Do you need a piece of gum Jamie? You look a little green.” And green I was, as I stood on the stage a few moments later, listening to our principal introduce me as the student

June’s Charity of the Month:
The Association for Mental Health & Wellness
HONORING VALEDICTORIANS - Legislator Susan A. Berland, Legislator Steven J. Flotteron and County Executive Steve Bellone presented proclamations to High School Valedictorians at a celebration honoring the achievements of the Valedictorians from Suffolk County. “I am proud to recognize the Valedictorians from the 16th Legislative District and all across Suffolk County,” said Legislator Berland. “Achieving the distinction of Valedictorian takes years of hard work and these students are all very deserving of our recognition.”
With its first concert on July 12th, the Art League of Long Island is proud to present a series of Jazz performances to be held quarterly in conjunction with the Jazz Loft in Stony Brook, in the beautiful multi-level Jeanie Tengelsen Gallery. Both the Art League and the Jazz Loft are not-forprofit organizations whose missions share the goal of educating and presenting to the community: in the case of the former it’s the visual arts and the latter the American musical innovation we call Jazz. The series begins with
“It’s Gershwin Man” featuring Steve Salerno (pictured left on the guitar), Tom Manuel (pictured far right on the trumpet) and friends on July 12. On view in the gallery is the exhibition “It’s all about the…LIGHT!”, juried by Karen Levitov, Director and Curator of the Paul W. Zuccaire Gallery, Staller Center for the Arts at Stony Brook University. The second in the series of performances is on October 18th, when the Mark Devine Trio will play the music of “Piano Kings”. The third in the series is on February 21st, 2019,
when Vanessa Trouble, Steve Salerno and John Marshall will feature an evening of Brazilian Jazz: “Getz, Gilberto and the Bossa Nova.” The May 9th, 2019, concert will feature the Richie Iacona Trio with Mike Hall, Tom Manuel and featuring Madeline Kole on vocals performing the Great American Songbook. This exciting new series is sponsored by Olivia and Harlan Fischer, who have sponsored a monthly concert series at the Jazz Loft in Stony Brook, NY

DID YOU KNOW? The “dog days of summer” are named after the Dog Star (Sirius) in the Canis Major constellation. The ancient Greeks blamed Sirius for the hot temperatures, drought, discomfort and sickness that occured during the summer.
Along with good mental health, MHAW recognizes the importance of physical health. Classes include an array of indoor and outdoor physical activities, as well as the chemical free garden right near their Ronkonkoma facility. In the garden, people learn how to grow their own food while connecting to the natural environment. Vegetables, fruits and herbs are donated to Charlotte’s Table food pantry, open each Wednesday from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m., which serves the broader community. Anyone interested in
volunteering in the garden may contact Victoria Harrison at VHarrison@gmail. com. MHAW is very excited about its 6th annual Kick Stands Up event, which will take place on Sunday, July 22nd from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the BMHMC Amphitheater at Bald Hill in Farmingville. Hosted by Founding Sons Law Enforcement/Military Motorcycle Club and Impressive and Aggressive Motor Club, attendees will visit up close with event registrants and their beautiful motorcycles, custom and classic cars. The day includes live entertainment by Muddy Johnson, while Johnny Numonic spins the tunes and attendees enjoy an array of food options, unique vendors and fabulous raffle prizes. The entry fee for motorcycles and cars is $20; for walkins, it is $5; and for children under 12, it is free. If you are interested in learning more information about the event, please visit www.KSU.SVUV.org If you would like to be a sponsor or vendor at the event, contact Ruth McDade at 631.471.7242, extension 1329!

New York Grand Lodge Foundation, Order Sons of Italy in America (OSIA) Foundation President Robert Ferrito has announced that at the Foundation Annual Scholarship Awards presentation, held at Tappan Zee High School in Orangeburg, New York on June 9th, seventy one students from across New York State were awarded scholarships. Fifty-three of the seventy-one award recipients were on hand along with parents and guests, to receive their scholarships in person. Every student received a minimum of $1,200 and will be a ‘studentat large’ member for the four years they are at school. Student At-Large members do not belong to a local lodge; they belong to the NY Grand Lodge and receive all materials relative to OSIA. The total amount awarded this year was $88,700 to deserving young adults. Many of the generous scholarship donors and State Officers were also on hand for the special event. Following breakfast, students marched into the Tappan Zee High School auditorium. Mrs. Josephine Federico, District 7 Scholarship Chair, who hails from Syracuse, accompanied the students on piano as attendees sang the Italian and American National anthems. Biagio Isgro, a Foundation Director gave the invocation. Dr. Lois Mignone presented the Elena Lucrezia Cornaro Award to Dr. Madeline M. Crocitto, a Professor of Management in the School of Business at
the State University of New York (SUNY) at Old Westbury. The Grand Lodge established the Cornaro Award in 1978 on the occasion of the 300th anniversary of the first doctorate awarded to Dr. Elena Lucrezia Cornaro. This award recognizes outstanding Italian American women in higher education who have made significant contributions to their profession and their community. Dr. Crocitto addressed the students explaining that they should not be afraid to take chances and to use this opportunity to explore as much as possible. This year, a Graduate Level Scholarship was added through the generosity of the New York Grand Lodge Foundation. Additional funding was also added to the Cellini Lodge #2206 and the Paul Agnello Scholarship in Memory of Fina Agnello. State 2nd Vice President Michele Ment, Chairperson of the Scholarship Committee, presented the seven State Awards; Florence Gatto, Chairperson of the Graduate Awards, presented the three Graduate Awards while District Chairpersons distributed all other awards. The Chairpersons were Joanne Spera, District 1; Angelo Grande, District 2; Rosemarie Baffo Stathes, District 3; Margaret Forte, District 4; Sybil DeSimone, District 5; Cesare Maniccia, District 6; Josephine Federico, District 7; Scholarship Co-Chair Donna Torrisi, presented the scholarships

Osteoporosis ( N A P S ) — Osteoporosis—bone loss— is a serious condition that half of all women and many men can expect to develop at some time in their lives. Fortunately, it can be detected and treated. In fact, women who have a bone density scan have 35 percent fewer hip fractures than those who do not. The problem is only 23 percent of eligible patients are scanned. The experts at the National Osteoporosis Foundation (NOF) say that if you’re a woman over 65 or a man over 70 or if you’re over 50, postmenopausal and have risk factors for osteoporosis, you should probably talk to your doctor or other health care provider about getting a bone density test, especially if you’ve never had one. Many doctors are learning more about this testing device at www. hologic.com.

Covered Wagon Lesson to design a miniature covered wagon that could traverse. Student groups were supplied with bottle caps, cardboard, straws and tinfoil to assemble a prairie schooner capable of protecting cargo simulated by blocks. The covered wagons were led over a canyon, mountains, plains and a river, all while being sprayed by water to represent rain. Following the initial tests, students
revised their designs and attempted to cross the treacherous terrain again. Through the covered wagon activity students learned a plethora of additional information, including the journey of Louis and Clark, the details of the Louisiana Purchase, the doctrine of manifest destiny and the countless challenges the pioneers faced.

Classroom Concepts A complex collaboration of art and math recently challenged fifth-graders in Susan Kinsey’s art class at Waverly Avenue Elementary School in the Sachem Central School District as a special guest – the school’s principal – led an origami activity that reinforced multiple math vocabulary terms.
Throughout the activity, John Ruggero guided students through a precise folding sequence that created a threedimensional box out of six square sheets of paper. Along the way, he incorporated geometric terminology to identify each fold. The terms included edges, faces,
vertices and different shapes such as isosceles triangles, right triangles, parallelograms and trapezoids. The collaborative activity allowed students to couple math curriculum concepts with the interesting art of origami.

Celebrating Flag Day Students, staff, parents and local first responders recently gathered outside Edith L. Slocum Elementary School to celebrate Flag Day on June 14th. Those in attendance dressed in red, white and blue outfits, recited the Pledge of Allegiance, and sang patriotic songs around the school’s flag pole, including performances by the school band.
After the flag-raising ceremony, the guests visited the classrooms to talk to students about their dedication to the community they serve. Physical education teacher John Zambriski helped organize the event in the hope that it would provide students with the opportunity to recognize the honorable service these professionals provide and
to show their appreciation for that dedication. A special thanks goes out to the first responders who took the time to join with Slocum students on Flag Day — Anthony Baiocco, Robert Candela, Anthony Daniels, Anthony Fiore, Martin Gregg, Chris Germano, Jim Harrington, Jason McKevitt, Donna Monahan, Steven Slarcella and Robert A. Sowinski.
Ramp Shot Students at Ronkonkoma Middle School recently took part in the school’s second annual “Ramp Shot” fundraiser in an effort to raise money to support finding a cure for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, more commonly known as ALS or Lou Gehrig’s disease. After contributing a
$15 donation, students and their teammates were able to engage in fun and friendly competition in the school’s gymnasium for a few hours. Dozens of students put their skills to the test as they played the popular backyard game, which was created by Josh Bonventre and Kevin Texeira, both of Long
Island. As a result of the fundraiser, the students raised $1,300 to support the cause. Additionally, the Ronkonkoma Middle School National Junior Honor Society hosted a highly successful car wash the week prior which raised $500 toward funding and awareness for ALS.

Relay for Life
Students, staff, administration and community members of the Connetquot Central School District recently gathered at the Connetquot High School track on June 8th to celebrate the district’s second annual Relay For Life event. Due to the district’s fundraising efforts, more than $35,000 was raised for the American Cancer Society to provide research and services for those undergoing cancer
treatment. Through moving c e r e m o n i e s , musical entertainment, a survivor/caregiver walk, lawn games and delicious food, Relay For Life honored survivors and caregivers while offering a space for those affected by cancer to come together as a community. “We could not have asked for a more beautiful day for Connetquot’s second annual Relay
For Life event,” said Connetquot High School psychologist and Relay for Life coordinator Courtney Huguenin. “The success of this event was made possible through months of collaborative efforts of community volunteers, the administration of the Connetquot Central School District, the Connetquot Civic Club, and the American Cancer Society.”
C-Quest Showcase
In celebration of all of the wonderful initiatives they took part in this school year, students enrolled in the Connetquot Central School District’s C-Quest program recently invited their family members to Edward J. Bosti Elementary School for the school’s annual C-Quest Showcase event. With assistance from advisers Lisa Manzo and Kevin Keane, the students were able to show their proud family members all
of the hard work they put into their projects while attending C-Quest. The students’ work was on full display for their guests, touching upon subjects such as exotic animals, argumentative topics such as whether or not college athletes should be paid or not, and whether or not school uniforms should be deemed necessary. Additionally, the students were able to engage in a real-time virtual planetarium, as they
eagerly showed their family members the planets in the solar system and outlined constellations. The district’s C-Quest program is dedicated to enhancing the educational experience of fourth- and fifth-grade students. Based at Edward J. Bosti Elementary School, C-Quest services the needs of approximately 140 students throughout the district.

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.

On June 19th, Supervisor Ed Romaine and Councilman Michael Loguercio were on-hand while Longwood High School Principal Scott Schuster and Science Club students released 40 Bobwhite Quail into the wild at Longwood Estate in Ridge.
The bird release is a program sponsored by the Town of Brookhaven, Longwood School District and Seatuck Environmental Association. The birds are released to help control the tick population, especially the deer tick, which is a carrier of Lyme disease.
The Quail eggs were incubated at the school where they hatched after 23 days. They were then cared for by the students for about five weeks before being released. To learn more about Seatuck Environmental Association, visit www. seatuck.org.
Celebrating Juneteenth
Shark Tank Jr.
On Wednesday, June 13th, West Middle Island (WMI) Elementary School fourth-grade entrepreneurs hosted their version of the ABC show Shark Tank, a reality show where entrepreneurs pitch their ideas to investors hoping they will invest in their design. Through the Shark Tank project, students demonstrated the skills necessary to develop a business as an entrepreneur utilizing scientific methods, persuasive writing, and presentation skills. The students were required to follow appropriate
timelines, pitch guidelines, create business plans, and understand grading rubrics. The students also extensively researched the cost of materials and competitors. As a culminating activity, the students worked collaboratively to persuade the “sharks” to invest in their respective companies. Student inventions included: Slip Grip prevents blisters when using the monkey bars. Mopper helps you clean while walking. Ninja Flopper prevents noisy flip-flops.
On June 18th, Supervisor Ed Romaine, Councilwoman Jane Bonner and Councilman Michael Loguercio were on hand at the ribbon cutting ceremony for The Coram Center for adults with intellectual and

Impressive Engineering
Connetquot High School sophomores Biproprosad Das, Atif Khan and Keith Grant recently competed against more than 600 students from 34 states and countries in the SeaPerch Challenge held at the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth. According to their website, SeaPerch is an innovative underwater robotics program that equips teachers and students with the
resources they need to build an underwater Remotely Operated Vehicle in an in-school or out-of-school setting. It provides students with the opportunity to learn about robotics, engineering, science and mathematics. The students received individual awards for their efforts and Connetquot High School Science Research teacher John Halloran received the Challenge Winner Award
for the team. The International SeaPerch Challenge is only open to teams that have earned a space to advance by winning at a properly registered Qualifying Competition. This innovative Connetquot High School team completed the first challenge in seven minutes, 13 seconds and the second part in three minutes.

Caring For Granite Countertops (NAPSI)—Granite countertops are the most popular option available when it comes to kitchen or bathroom remodeling. They look great, they’re durable, but they can also cost thousands of dollars. Granite requires special care and attention because it’s a natural stone. Here are a few tips to help you protect your investment: • Seal your countertops: According to the Marble Institute of America, an industry group, granite countertops should be sealed so that the stone is more resistant to dirt and spills. Check with the manufacturer or retailer about the best kind of sealer to use on food preparation areas. • Be careful what
you clean with: Never use ammonia—based products-or cleaners containing vinegar, lemon or orange—on your granite countertops. Avoid abrasive cleaners such as dry or soft cleansers. Don’t use cleaning products that contain acid such as bathroom, grout, or tub and tile cleaners. Specialty granite cleaners can be used, but they can be expensive. There’s a way to stretch your dollars. • Mind your budget: JAWS Glass & Hard Surface Cleaner (www.jawscleans. com) cleans granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, glass and even your flat-screen TV. It’s also non-toxic and costs less than most other cleaners because each
JAWS product is actually two bottles in one. (The cartridge refill is attached to the bottle.) There are also some other basic preventive measures you can take to protect your granite countertops: • Use coasters: Place a coaster under all glasses, particularly those containing alcohol or citrus juices that can etch or dull the surface of many stone countertops. • Use trivets or mats: They’ll protect your granite countertop from hot dishes and help avoid scratches. Granite countertops can really add spark to a kitchen or bathroom. Proper care will keep them looking beautiful.

Prevent Isolation As You Age! (NAPSI)—Did you know that an estimated one in five adults over age 50 are affected by isolation? This is a problem, as research has shown that prolonged isolation can be as bad for you as smoking 15 cigarettes a day—and these negative health consequences of chronic isolation may be especially harmful for older adults. Here are some suggestions to combat the problem of social isolation and loneliness: • Nurture and strengthen existing relationships; invite people over for coffee or call them to suggest a trip to a museum or to see
a movie. • Schedule a time each day to call or visit someone. • Meet your neighbors. • Don’t let being a nondriver stop you from staying active. Find out about transportation options. • Use social media to stay in touch or write letters. • Stay physically active. • Take a class. • Revisit an old hobby. • Volunteer. • Visit a senior or community center to see what’s going on. • Check out faith-based organizations’ groups and events. To connect to aging
services and programs in your area: Contact the Eldercare Locator, a public service of the U.S. Administration on Aging, a part of the Administration for Community Living. This nationwide service is a trusted gateway to connect older adults and their caregivers with local resources for older adults. Call the Eldercare Locator at 1-800-677-1116 to speak with a knowledgeable Information Specialist or visit the website www. eldercare.gov to find local resources on a broad range of topics and access help today.
PUZZLE ANSWERS:
Big, Colorful Ideas For Small Spaces ( N A P S I ) — T h e C(NAPSI)—Making a small room appear larger can be as simple as using color creatively. To add some breathing room to a compact space, all you need are some colorful ideas. “Color is one of the easiest, most affordable ways to transform the look and feel of a room,” says David Bromstad, HGTV® star and celebrity interior designer. “When used in a few well-chosen places, such as a feature wall or statement piece of furniture, color can have a big impact in a small space.” Bromstad offers these color tips for transforming a space from tiny to airy: Create a focal point with paint. Paint a statement wall that draws attention away from the size of your space and toward something beautiful and
vibrant. Bright or bold colors work well, as the wall can appear to recede, creating the illusion of space. Go big with lighter and softer colors. In areas beyond the feature wall, use lighter and softer colors to make the space seem larger. Light blues and greens add significant light subtly to a room. Coordinate your colors. Stretch your space and maximize impact by using color to coordinate your rooms and decor. HGTV® HOME by SherwinWilliams offers precoordinated collections of color, paint and wallpaper. The color palettes can be used to ensure that your walls, furniture and accessories help create a cohesive look. Reflect upon something. Placed opposite a window or side by side, mirrors can spread light throughout
the room to make spaces feel larger. A tall mirror draws the eye up, making ceilings look taller. When angled toward your room’s focal wall, a mirror can also create the illusion of depth. Paint something unexpected. Think beyond your walls and consider painting your mailbox or address numbers on your home, a stairway banister or a piece of furniture. Add a colorful punctuation point by transforming a bedroom nightstand bright blue or a desk chair in an unexpected orange. Everything else in the room will appear larger. “Clever use of color adds the illusion of space and injects personality into it as well. That’s what’s great about color; you can dramatically alter the look of a room while expressing yourself in a fun way,” Bromstad adds.
Keep Track Of Open Recalls (NAPSI)—If you’re like most people, car safety and performance are important to you. But you might be surprised to hear that over 47 million vehicles have unfixed safety recalls— vehicles you might be sharing the road with or driving yourself. Alarmingly, familyoriented vehicles like SUVs and minivans are the least-often fixed. An auto recall usually occurs when the manufacturer or the National Highway Traffic
Safety Administration finds that a car has a defect or fails to meet federal safety standards. While repeated attempts are made to reach the owners, the stats suggest that people aren’t wellenough informed about recalls, and may not know where to start. To help you stay informed, you can use the free myCarfax.com service to get e-mails or text alerts about current and future recalls on your car.
Fixing recalls helps maintain the safety and value of your car, makes roads safer, and is normally free. Plus, most recall fixes are completed in less than a day. Remember that only a manufacturer’s dealer is authorized to fix recalls. If your car is recalled, call your local dealer immediately. Learn more and sign up at www.mycarfax.com.
A Juicy Way To Enjoy A Healthier Lifestyle (NAPSI)—There’s good news for those who have embraced drinking fresh fruit and vegetable juices as a way to pursue a more healthful diet: Enjoying such juices just got easier. That’s because a leading juice retailer that is also recognized as a healthy lifestyle brand has revealed that it’s expanding its squeezed-to-order, fresh
juice offerings nationally. The fresh, made-to-order juices, available at Jamba Juice, incorporate highnutrient and on-trend whole foods including kale, beets, cucumbers, apples, oranges and chia seeds. They’re available in a variety of flavors, including: • Tropical Greens—a combination of super
greens, apple, pineapple and chia • Veggie Harvest—a mixture of beet and carrot juices with super greens, apple and ginger • Carrot Cayenne—a blend of carrot and apple juices with the added kick of ginger and cayenne. To learn more, visit www. JambaJuice.com.

Five Tips On Moving (NAPSI)—According to the U.S. Census Bureau, 12 percent of Americans move to new homes every year. The next time you’re among them, you may be able to save time, trouble and money when you choose a professional mover—you won’t have to worry about renting equipment, paying hidden costs, handling heavy or bulky items and being responsible if something goes wrong. Here are five hints to help. 1. Be wary of any
“guaranteed” estimates offered over the phone or online. Make sure you show the mover everything that needs to be moved, and get at least three estimates to compare. Avoid any that are too high or too low. 2. Check the company’s ratings with the Better Business Bureau and other consumer websites, and ask family and friends for referrals. 3. Make sure all agreements are in writing, and get a copy of everything you sign, especially the bill of lading. Never sign any
blank forms. 4. Ask questions if you don’t understand something, and make sure your mover has your cell phone number to reach you. 5. Find a certified professional mover. For free estimates at no obligation to you, get free referrals from the American Moving & Storage Association at www.Moving.org.

strengthen communities, develop cultures of inspiration in schools and support hardworking teachers. It’s already changed the lives of thousands of children in schools across America. Volunteers should be age 50 or older; have at least a high school diploma or GED; pass a criminal background check; pass a basic literacy screening; attend 25 hours of annual training; and have five to 15 hours a week to offer during the school year. Tax-Aide AARP Foundation also runs Tax-Aide, the nation’s largest free tax assistance and preparation service, giving special attention to those 50 and older. It offers free tax-filing help to those who need it most. You do not need to be a member of AARP or even a retiree to use this free service.

Connecting Caregivers To Local Resources And Support
(NAPSI)—Americans are living longer these days. The number of older adults is expected to reach 73 million by 2030. With 30 percent of Americans serving in a caregiving role, it is important to remember that caring for a loved one can be both rewarding and difficult. Often, caregivers don’t know where to turn for advice and assistance. That’s where the Eldercare Locator—a program of the U.S. Administration on Big Bird The largest living bird Aging and administered by National Association is the ostrich, which can the of Area Agencies on Aging weigh 330 pounds.
Older People Improve Life For Others And Themselves (NAPSI)—Many older Americans have discovered that sharing their accumulated wisdom with others who need help can be a big win all around. Here’s a look at two ways you can stretch your mind and show your heart: Experience Corps AARP Foundation Experience Corps unites teachers, schools and older adults to improve children’s academic and social outcomes. This benefits the children, the schools and the volunteers. The program has been proven to help children who aren’t reading at grade level become better readers by the end of third grade. Last school year, 76 percent of students who were below grade level at the beginning of the year raised their reading and literacy performance by one or more proficiency levels with the help of Experience Corps volunteers. The goal is to improve children’s literacy,

(n4a)—Comes in. By connecting older adults and their caregivers to local resources and support, the Eldercare Locator makes life a bit easier all around. The Eldercare Locator connects older adults and their caregivers to local services and supports across the spectrum of need, including in-home and community-based services, transportation and healthy aging. What It Offers Some of the Eldercare Locator’s more popular publications are: • “Before You Give Up the
Keys: Create a Roadmap for Transportation Independence” • “Older Adults and Medication Safety” • “You Gave, Now Save: Guide to Benefits for Seniors” • “Living Well with Dementia in the Community: Resources and Support.” Learn More For tips and advice on caregiving, visit www. eldercare.acl.gov or call 1 (800) 677-1116 and see @eldercarelocator on Facebook and @ EldercareLoc on Twitter.
Know Your Home’s Value (NAPSI)—Whether you’re thinking of buying, selling, remodeling or just wondering about the value of your home, you need to know local market conditions—the picture may be brighter than you thought. To help, the home and real estate experts at Hanley Wood Market Intelligence have a new tool. Visit www. builderonline.com, click the blue Local Housing Data tab, enter your zip
code, and you’ll see graphs and charts depicting values for your local market. Jonathan Smoke, executive director of research for Hanley Wood, says, “Healthy markets have the following traits: a growing job market, favorable demographic trends, a diverse and educated workforce, subsiding foreclosure activity, and positive quality of life factors.” For remodeling, see how
to maximize your return on investment at www. costvsvalue.com. According to Remodeling magazine, the three projects with the highest return this year are fiber cement siding, entry door replacement, and attic bedroom remodel. Visit www.costvsvalue.com to see 32 more remodeling projects and their worth at resale.
Plan For Your Retirement (NAPSI)—If you’re like 82 percent of Americans, you may be concerned about retirement, according to the Employment Benefit Research Institute. Fortunately, you may have a brighter future if you heed five hints from Ray LeVitre, CFP, author of “20 Retirement Decisions You Need To Make Right Now” as well as founder and managing partner of Net Worth Advisory Group—a firm specializing in retirement financial planning.
1. Track your expenses now. Gradually adjust your expenditures toward the budget you’ll have in retirement. 2. Start living like a retiree. Change your lifestyle to reflect how it might be in retirement. That might mean downsizing your home, reducing your leisure travel or driving a more efficient car. 3. Increase your savings. Within 15 years of retirement, contribute a minimum of 15 percent
of earnings toward retirement. 4. Explore your Social Security options. Postponing benefits until age 70 can significantly boost lifetime income. Explore spousal benefits, too. 5. Don’t invest too conservatively. A broadly diversified, well-balanced portfolio of equities, bonds and cash offers the best opportunity to maintain the necessary growth of capital while minimizing volatility.
(NAPSI)—If living a healthier life is your cup of tea, you may be interested in an easy way to improve your health—using the natural antioxidant powers of tea. Almost half of all Americans are overweight and have dangerously high levels of cholesterol. Heart attacks are still the No. 1 killer in the U.S. The problem is that high cholesterol and your risk
may be greater than you think. According to American Heart Association guidelines, the acceptable level of “bad cholesterol” is 30 percent lower than it used to be only a few years ago. This means that millions of Americans, including those who never dreamed they were at risk, now are. Fortunately, there are natural, nonprescription
alternatives for lowering cholesterol. For example, heart-healthy products such as TeaFlavin, an all-natural, caffeine-free capsule made from tea extract, contain as much cholesterol-fighting power as 35 cups of green tea. For more information on TeaFlavin, visit www. teaflavin.com or call (800) 876-4332.
