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.

Peacocks & Pretty Things Beauty. They say it is in the eye of the beholder; but truly, it exists all around us, if we take the time to notice. My love of photography has certainly enhanced my ability to appreciate the aesthetics of my surroundings, from interesting cloud formations while waiting for sunsets, to pretty roadside blossoms that would otherwise be characterized as weeds to the undiscerning eye, to the novelty of light and shadow as it plays out upon a surface. Such is the abstract nature of visual “art.” And then there are the moments when it appears before you in its most natural, stunningly striking form. Case in point: several weeks ago, my friend and I enjoyed a late lunch at the famed Milleridge Inn, having both decided that it was the perfect locale after having not dined there in quite some time. To our surprise, the holiday lights were still on full display, with remnants of the Christmas season in every corner of the restaurant and shops. Having just finished dismantling my own decorations the previous week, I was at once

nostalgic and slightly weary of them. As we exited the bakery and made our way to the official Christmas shop located on the property, I spotted what appeared to be a large bird sitting on the railing of the ice cream parlor. “Is that real?” I whispered to my friend, “Or just a decoration?” We stared intently, only to be instantly startled. “It moved! Oh my gosh, it moved!” As we tentatively approached, we realized it was a GIANT peacock. And with that, no less than half a dozen others peered out from behind various corners and crevices, along with several chickens and peahens. Unfazed by the humans before them, they moseyed to and fro, pausing briefly to study us. Thoroughly infatuated, we wandered after them, attempting to snap pictures and even a few short videos of these majestic feathered creatures. As I knelt down and tentatively reached my hand out toward one especially beautiful specimen, my friend grabbed my phone to

capture the sight. The bird cocked his head slightly, examining me carefully, then strode purposefully toward me. Unsure if he was planning to sit on my lap or - more likely - to take a sizable bite out of me, I froze, backing away slightly. “Did you get the picture?” I nervously called to my friend. “Yes, I think I took about 27 of them,” she replied giggling. Alright then, no sense pushing my luck. I quickly stood up as the peacock stared at me, seemingly perplexed. “Sorry pretty bird, thanks for the photo op.” And with that, he fluttered his massive wings and took off, soaring to a nearby tree branch. By that point, a small crowd had gathered around us, amazed that this one bird had taken such an apparent liking to me. A little boy exclaimed to his parents, “Wow, they fly???” Peering up at the bird, now perched overhead, my friend and I looked at each other in utter amazement. “That,” I said, “was clearly the highlight of the day.” Beauty. It’s everywhere.

January Charity of the Month:

LIGHTHOUSE MISSION!

tells us that, when going to help others, Jesus traveled to them instead of having them to come to Him. Lighthouse Mission also has a Youth Outreach that operates on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Saturdays. Every Tuesday, they open their facility to high school students and offer them food, entertainment and time to socialize in a Christian setting. Every Wednesday, they do the same for middle school students; and on the first and third Saturday of each month, they offer this for students K-5. All of these events are free of charge and open to everyone. If you are interested in becoming involved with this organization, there are plenty of ways to do so. They gladly accept clothing and food donations and currently are in need of winter coats. As far as volunteering, they accept walk-on volunteers at all of their Food Outreach events. If you are interested in coming with a group to a Food Outreach event or are interested in volunteering at a Youth Outreach Event, please call their office at 631.758.7584 first for more information!

Other Organizations YOU Can Become Involved With... The Pilot Club ~ Babylon

The Pilot Club is an organization that assists various support programs here on Long Island.

If you would like to volunteer with or donate to this organization, please contact Lynne at 631.252.0240 or their Fundraising Committee at Ellie234@verizon.net.

Guide Dog Foundation for the Blind ~ Smithtown

www.GuideDog.org This organization exists to improve the quality of life for people that are blind, have low vision or have other special needs. They are currently in need of volunteer puppy raisers! Puppy raising is when an individual fosters a guide or service dog puppy in their home for the first year of its life. Although children can be involved in this process, they ask that all applicants are over 18 years of age. All puppy raisers are required to attend monthly puppy raising classes. To be approved for this program, you must undergo a home visit by a staff member or an approved volunteer. Please visit their website or call 1.800.548.4337 for more information on how you can become involved!

“Providing Hope Beyond The Food” . . . this is a phrase often used at Lighthouse Mission, a mobile food pantry on Long Island. Pastor Jim Ryan is the President of this inspiring ministry that reaches 2,000 people per week with the mission to share the Gospel of Jesus and feed the poor. Lighthouse Mission is a registered non-profit that operates 100% on donations, receiving no government help. They operate a very impressive Food Outreach weekly on Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays (visit their website at www. LighthouseMission.com for a full Food Outreach Schedule). Instead of operating this outreach from a single location, Lighthouse Mission chose to go mobile and travel to different locations where those in need could line up to receive plenty of nutritional food, gently used clothing and hear the word of God from one of the pastors working the event. Pastor Jim Ryan mentioned to me that they were inspired to operate this outreach in a mobile manner because the Gospel

The Marty Lyon’s Foundation – Long Island Chapter will host its 5th annual Marty Gras Dinner Dance on Saturday, February 17th from 7 p.m. to 11 p.m. at Captain Bill’s Restaurant; 122 Ocean Ave. in Bay Shore. Proceeds will benefit the Foundation’s mission to grant wishes to children diagnosed with lifethreatening or terminal illnesses. “The annual Chapter dinner dance at Captain Bill’s is an event that provides an opportunity for our generous supporters to come together to enjoy the festive New Orleans experience here on Long island. The evening includes cocktails, buffet dinner and dessert with a hint of Nawlins flavor and lively music by TradeWinds. The Marty Gras fund raiser is a reminder of the important mission of the Marty Lyons Foundation started over 35 years ago. When we have a successful fundraising event like this, we are able to continue to make plans to grant more boys and girls with serious medical conditions their dream wishes. Regardless of the wish, it is always very gratifying to see the face of a child light up when they realize his or her special wish has been granted by the Foundation,” said Marty Lyons, Chairman of Marty Lyons Foundation. Marty Lyons, a former NFL star for the New York Jets and a member of the legendary New York Sack Exchange, experienced three life-changing events that led him to establish a nonprofit charitable organization dedicated to granting the wishes of seriously ill children. In 1982, with encouragement from family and friends, the

Caring For Older Adults (NAPSI)—With a growing aging population, the amount of family caregivers in the United States is also on the rise. There are nearly 45 million people who serve as a caregiver for a family member or friend who is 50 or older. Serving as a caregiver can be rewarding but difficult. Often, caregivers are unaware of local aging resources that might be able to assist them.

The Eldercare Locator is a free, public service that connects older adults and caregivers to information about local resources and services such as meal delivery programs, transportation options, home modification assistance and inhome support services. Additionally, caregivers can find out about support groups in their community and programs that offer a break from caregiving

responsibilities. The Eldercare Locator also has free informational brochures for older adults and caregivers on topics such as medication management, preventing falls in the home, transportation options, avoiding financial exploitation, and brain health. All brochures can be ordered by calling 800677-1116 or downloaded online at www.eldercare. gov.

If you are a caregiver who is seeking information about caring for your loved one and you want to learn about community resources that may be able to assist, call the Eldercare Locator at 800-677-1116 or visit www.eldercare.gov. The Eldercare Locator is a public service of the U.S. Administration on Aging and is administered by the National Association of Area Agencies on Aging.

Fifth-grade student Isabelle Chen took the Edna Louise Spear Elementary School title of top speller after correctly spelling “massacres.” She will now compete in the 2018 Hofstra Long Island Regional Scripps Spelling Bee on February 4th. Isabelle, who was

the school’s secondplace winner last year, studied a variety of words and definitions to be competition-ready. At Hofstra, she will take a written test and if she is one of the top scorers, will be invited back the following week for the traditional oral spell down.

From there, winners move on to the Scripps National Spelling Bee, which takes place in Washington, D.C. later in the spring. “We’re all proud of her accomplishment,” said her teacher Christine Wicks. “We wish her the best of luck at the next step of the competition.”

Dynamic Duo Honored longtime staff members who have made a significant impact on the lives of the students, families and staff. “Their commitment to helping children succeed and the support they provide to ensure their academic, social and emotional growth is a model for all others to

follow,” said Dr. Neidig. “Their positive spirit, along with their huge hearts, have helped countless scores of children thrive during this time of their lives. These two play such an instrumental role in the successes of the middle school.”

He also demonstrated how to draw some of his favorite figures. Throughout the month of January, JAE students

have been taking part in a series of activities designed to further promote a lifelong love of reading. They recorded the number of minutes they spent on independent reading for pleasure as well as took part in theme days such as “wear a shirt with words you can read” and an electronic blackout day.

Love of Programming To help share their enthusiasm for the topic, seven members of Ward Melville High School’s robotics team, the Iron Patriots, recently held its first two-hour introduction to programming class for elementary through high school students at the Emma S. Clark library. The evening started with the students operating the VEX robots using remote controls trying to navigate a simple course. Once this was mastered, the next task was to use the arm/claw mechanism to pick up and

deliver various foam blocks to different points on the game table. At this point, the remote controls were taken away and the goal was to repeat the course in autonomous mode. Autonomous operation requires that code be written using a variation of C++ that would enable the robot to travel the distance of the track in a sequence of “basketball drills,” crossing one line then traveling back to the start turn around then travel to a line further down the table. Students were given

instructions on how to write code and then the code was downloaded onto the robots and tested. After each section of code was proven to work correctly, additional code was added until the course was completed. The evening was a tremendous success, as all the students had a great time learning and sharing their enthusiasm for robotics. The Iron Patriots are currently building the 2018 robot and are eagerly awaiting the completion in April.

Modern Hearing Aids

Modern hearing aids feature technology that continuously monitors the environment and singles out the dominant

speaker while reducing background noise. Some people find they can actually hear better than their companions with

normal hearing in very loud surroundings. Learn more about overcoming hearing loss at www. signiausa.com.

Experiencing History

As part of their study on the first Americans, fourth-grade students at W.S. Mount Elementary School in the Three Village Central School District learned about Native Americans during a hands-on workshop called Journey into Native American Territory. The program brought the history and lives of the

Eastern Woodlands people into the classroom through visual presentations and group activities. Throughout the two-day program, students were able to travel through a museum of artifacts and learn how to play traditional games that encouraged teamwork and honed survival skills. Additionally, students

learned about Native American government and created clay duck decoys using traditional techniques and materials. Throughout the museum tour, the students took an up-close look at animal pelts, musical instruments, traditional clothing, athletic equipment and hunting tools.

Three Village Central School District students showcased their linguistic skills this winter during a series of school spelling bee competitions and, as a result of their performances, four have advanced to the Long Island spelling bee. R.C. Murphy Junior High School eighth-grader SALUTE TO VETERANS - With Long Island boasting the largest veteran population in the United States, Stop & Shop’s Sue Sweeney of Ridge, Colleen Comiglino of Port Jefferson, Patty D’amado of Deer Park and Michelle Rappa of Huntington Station greet living historian “General Douglas MacArthur” during ceremonies at the Museum of American Armor at Old Bethpage Village Restoration. The celebrations honored veterans, including decorated WWII vet U.S. District Judge Leonard Wexler. They were joined by members of Congress, Nassau County Executive Laura Curran and New York State Senate Majority Leader John Flanagan in saluting those who have served.

Alana John was declared the winner at Murphy after correctly spelling the word “iridology.” P.J. Gelinas Junior High School eighthgrader Ryan Himmelsbach captured his fourth straight win with the word “slumgullion.” W.S. Mount Elementary School fourthgrader Ryan Karp captured his first win with the word

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.

Tips For A 100 Percent Hassle-Free Move (NAPSI)—Moving can be a hassle, stressful and emotional. If you’re considering a move, know you’re not alone. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, 40 million Americans moved in 2016. That’s a lot of moving. “Every year, people take on the frustrating experience of moving,” said Adam Doron, CEO of Unpakt, an online platform designed to eliminate stress from the moving experience. “What many don’t realize is that moving doesn’t have to be difficult. There are resources available to ensure an easy, hassle-free move.”

According to Doron, the main challenge when moving is guaranteeing the final price of a move, as moving prices can increase on move day with no notice. Another challenge? Verifying that a mover is licensed and insured. He suggests using a reliable online service to compare guaranteed, transparent prices from prescreened moving companies, as well as customer reviews. That allows people to manage and control their move from start to finish. It’s also beneficial to have a third party handling payments and issues. “Working with an online platform like Unpakt

means you can avoid the hassle of entrusting an unknown mover with getting your belongings to your new home,” said Doron. “Unpakt enables consumers to compare verified, reputable movers and enjoy a stress-free move. “For your next move, get online. Visit Unpakt and instantly compare guaranteed prices from prescreened moving companies. It’s easy to book your move online, just like you would a hotel or flight. We want to become the ‘go to’ online comparison site for everyone’s move.”

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

Five Ways To Protect Your Vision (NAPSI)—Did you know that women are at greater risk for blindness and vision problems? The National Eye Institute, part of NIH, reminds women, especially those over age 40, to make their eye health a priority by taking five simple steps to protect their sight. Get a dilated eye exam.

Getting a comprehensive dilated eye exam is the only way to know if your eyes are healthy and you are seeing your best. Talk to your eye care professional about how often you should have one. Live a healthy lifestyle. Eating healthy foods, maintaining a healthy weight, managing chronic

conditions, and not smoking can lower your risk of eye disease. Know your family history. Talk to your family members about their eye health history. It’s important to know if anyone has been diagnosed with an eye disease, since many are hereditary. Use protective eyewear.

Prevent eye injuries when doing chores around the house, playing sports, or working on the job. Wear safety glasses, goggles, safety shields, or eye guards that are made of polycarbonate. Talk to your eye care provider about the appropriate type of protective eyewear for your needs.

Wear sunglasses. Wearing sunglasses outside protects your eyes from the sun’s ultraviolet rays. Prolonged exposure to sunlight can increase your risk for getting an eye disease like cataract or age-related macular degeneration, which is a progressive eye disease leading to blindness. When

purchasing sunglasses, look for those that block out 99 to 100 percent of both UVA and UVB radiation. These steps can help keep your eyes healthy and prevent vision loss and blindness from eye disease. For more information, visit www.nei.nih.gov/hvm.

Private Music Lessons In Your Home!

(NAPSI)—If you’re planning—or even just dreaming—of buying your first home, a few tips and trends may prove intriguing. According to the National Association of Realtors, home prices are up and accelerating because there are more buyers than homes for sale. Here are three tips for first-time buyers looking to purchase in this seller’s market: Know your budget and stay within it: Before you start shopping, find out what you can afford with a preapproval from a lender so you know how much money you can borrow. When determining your budget, consider the other costs of home ownership, including taxes, insurance and utilities. When listings are scarce, home prices tend

to rise as bidding wars drive them higher. Don’t get caught up competing against other buyers and counteroffering above what you can comfortably afford. Winning a bidding war could feel like losing if you end up spending above your means. Stay patient and walk away if the price surpasses your budget. Identify needs versus wants: No home is perfect and many people have to compromise on features when buying an existing home. At the same time, you don’t want to end up settling for a house you don’t love. Separate and maintain your focus on what you really want in a home against what you can live with (or without). A home in a certain school district or close to your job most likely falls into the former while a kitchen with a fancy backsplash is something

Saving Money In A Seller’s Market: Three Tips you can add at a later date. Work with a Realtor who knows the area: When housing supply is tight, an attractively priced home will likely draw multiple offers. Find a Realtor with experience serving clients in your desired area. He or she can provide invaluable market information, including how fast homes are selling and for what price. A Realtor can also help you with a negotiation strategy to make your offer stand out. To find one, go to www.realtor.com/ realestateagents and enter the zip code of the area where you want to buy. Buying a home is arguably the most important financial decision you’ll make in your life. Working with a Realtor and following this advice can give you the advantage you need.
