MAKE THE RIGHT CHOICE - CHOOSE


In recognition of Black History Month, Optimum, in conjunction with the Smithsonian Channel™, is sponsoring the Make Your Mark video contest for high school students. The contest provides an opportunity for students to reflect on how they can make a lasting “mark” by submitting a proposal and creating a video that documents their idea on how to incite positive change within their school and community. Students with the winning video will be awarded $2,500 for a school or community project.

As part of the contest, students will view the Smithsonian Channel documentary Breath of Freedom that details the experiences of AfricanAmerican GIs who helped rebuild Germany at the end of World War II and experienced equality for the first time overseas. Just as the soldiers featured in the documentary helped ignite the Civil Rights Movement, students can document their unique “mark” for positive change in their own video. The “Make Your Mark” contest is open to all

P

high school students in Optimum’s footprint within the tri-state area. Students should record and submit a creative and informative video (two minutes maximum) that explains their “mark,” why it should be chosen and how their school or community could benefit from the $2500 award. They will then share this video (via Facebook or Tweets) with friends and family to earn votes for the project. Deadline for entries is February 28th. “Optimum is delighted to partner with the Smithsonian Channel in sponsoring the ‘Make Your Mark’ contest to celebrate Black History Month,” said Cablevision Vice President of Public Affairs Jen Ostrager. “We are proud to provide students with an opportunity to make a positive change in their community and better understand the history that helped spark the Civil Rights Movement.”

Winter Survival Tips Many hazards come with winter driving, but the possibility of being stranded may be one of the worst. If you get stranded while driving, here are some tips geared at helping you survive: Plan Your Route: Don’t use back roads to avoid traffic or save time. Take heavily traveled routes where more people can spot you. Also, main roads are the first areas that rescue workers will reach in emergencies. If you must drive, travel during the day and don’t travel alone. Tell family or friends where you are going, the route you will take and when you expect to arrive. Stay With Your Vehicle: While it will get cold, your vehicle is your best protection against wind and exposure.

We Are All Destined For Something

Last week, with the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics in full swing, I made the realization that, much like those athletes, we are all destined for something. Whether it is a Gold Medal or last place, we are all put on this Earth for some reason. We may not always come out on top, but it is crucial to acknowledge that everything happens for a reason. This same idea can be applied to our everyday lives. Although we may not be Olympians, we are crusaders in our own right. Each day, we are training ourselves to excel much like Shaun White and Shani Davis; we are trying to attain perfection.

There is, however, no such thing as perfection when it comes to humanity. As demonstrated by these two stars, even professionals are mortal. When we do succeed, it is essential to recognize that we may have gotten lucky. There will always be someone just a little bit faster or a few inches taller. Nothing is certain, and we must earn what comes our way. It is all part of the master plan, and sometimes things work out. There is no such thing as a guarantee. Even Gold Medalists don’t get perfect scores. With this being said, it is perfectly understandable that we may fail in our

everyday lives. There is no guarantee that practice will lead to greatness. We can still fall short of our goals. I try to implement this mindset into every facet of my persona. With college decisions steadily flowing in, I realize that I am not perfect. It would be irrational to think that I would be accepted to all of the colleges that I applied to. Rejection is an essential part of life, as losing is a key element of the Olympics. Much like the Olympians, I know that every failure occurs for a reason. Although on a much smaller scale, my futile pursuit of excellence is a model of their determination, perseverance and trial.

Follow “Tax-smart” Investment Moves rate. But when you sell an investment that you’ve held for more than one year, you’ll be assessed the more favorable long-term capital gains rate, which will be 15% or 20%, depending on your income level. So, as you can see, you have a real incentive to be a “buy-andhold” investor. Generally speaking, taxes, by themselves, shouldn’t drive your investment decisions. Instead, you should focus on an investment’s suitability for your risk tolerance and long-term goals. Work with your financial advisor and tax professional to see how you

may be able to make progress toward your objectives and still keep control of your investment-related taxes. * Taxes are due upon withdrawal and withdrawals prior to age 59 ½ may be subject to a 10% IRS penalty. Edward Jones, its employees and financial advisors cannot provide tax or legal advice. You should consult your attorney or qualified tax advisor regarding your situation.

If You Aren’t at Your Last Job, Why Is Your 401(k)? Leaving a 401(k) with a previous employer could mean leaving it alone with no one to watch over it. At Edward Jones, we can explain options for your 401(k) and help you select the one that’s best for you. If you’d like to roll it over to an Edward Jones Individual Retirement Account (IRA), we can help you do it without paying taxes or penalties. And you can feel confident that someone is looking out for you and your 401(k).

Submitted By Michael Sceiford - Edward Jones Port Jefferson With tax season upon us, it’s time to focus on your tax return, which is due on April 15. As you work on your return, you may see some areas in which you’d like to make some changes for 2014 and beyond — and one of these areas may be your investments. Specifically, can you find ways to become a more “tax-smart” investor? You may be able to benefit from taking the following steps: “Max out” on your IRA. Depending on your income level, you may be able to deduct some or all of your contributions to a traditional IRA. And your earnings can grow on a tax-deferred basis.* (Roth IRA contributions are not deductible, but your earnings and eventual distributions will be tax-free, provided you meet certain conditions.) You can contribute to your IRA for 2013 right up until the tax-filing deadline on April 15. And for 2014, the annual IRA contribution limit remains at $5,500 (or $6,500, if you’re 50 or older). Boost your 401(k) contributions. You generally contribute pre-tax dollars to your 401(k), so the more you put in, the lower your taxable income. (Depending on your employer, you may even be able to make Roth contributions to your 401(k) plan.) So, every time your salary goes up, you may want to consider increasing your 401(k) contributions. For 2014, you can put in up to $17,500 to your 401(k) or other employer-sponsored plan, such as a 457(b) or 403(b). If you’re 50 or older, you can add another $5,500 on top of the contribution limit. Consider tax-advantaged investments. If you can afford to put money away even after you’ve reached the limits on your IRA and your 401(k), you might want to consider other tax-advantaged investments. For example, you may be able to benefit from investing in municipal bonds, which provide interest payments that are free of federal taxes, and, in some cases, free of state and local taxes, too. (Some municipal bonds may be subject to the alternative minimum tax.) Another investment possibility is a fixed annuity, which offers tax-deferred earnings growth. Your financial and tax advisors can help you determine which, if any, taxfavored investments may be suitable for your individual needs. Avoid frequent buying and selling. Many people constantly buy and sell investments, hoping to boost their returns. Such frequent trading is usually ineffective, however — and it can also be “taxing.” If you sell an investment that you’ve held for one year or less, you may have to pay the short-term capital gains rate, which is the same as your ordinary income tax

Remain in your vehicle where rescuers are most likely to find you. Abandon your car only as a last resort. A single person walking through the snow is much harder to find than a stranded vehicle. Prepare Your Vehicle: Make sure your vehicle is winterized and in good driving condition. Keep your gas tank full. This will keep the fuel line from freezing and allow you to run the engine for heat for a longer time. Pack A Winter Survival Kit: The kit should contain nonperishable food, water, warm clothes, blankets, tea light candles (for warmth), waterproof matches, flares, tools or a multi-function knife, a small mirror (for signaling), brightly colored cloth/plastic (for visibility), tow chain/ strap and a small pot for melting snow (to drink). Use The Heater Sparingly: Running your engine and heater for ten minutes every hour is enough to keep you warm while also conserving fuel. While the engine is running, slightly open a downwind window for fresh air. Make sure to keep the exhaust pipe clear of snow to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning. Keeping Moving: At least once an hour, vigorously move your arms, hands, legs, feet and toes to improve circulation and keep warm. Important: Don’t exercise enough to get hot or sweaty. Wet clothes lose insulation value, making you susceptible to hypothermia. Also, avoid use of cigarettes or alcohol as these will reduce your ability to stay warm. Stay Hydrated: The keys to winter survival are to stay dry, hydrated and warm. Drink fluids sparingly over time to

Carry-On Made Easier (NAPSI)-Doing a little homework before you travel could save you time at the airport. For instance, visiting www.TSA.gov, the Transportation Security Administration’s Web site, can help you learn what items can be packed in carry-on and which are best left in checked suitcases. You can also learn size

requirements for toiletries that are allowed on planes and then find properly sized items in stores. As a final tip, remember that all carry-on gels, liquids and aerosols need to be placed in a 1-quart, single zip-top, clear plastic bag. For more information and tips, visit www.shave. com.

is a lot bigger than their local community,” said Ms. Iberger, who has organized the program for six years. “It also provides them the chance to give thanks to those who help to protect our nation and provide some comforts of home to those serving.” In addition to its philanthropic benefits, the project also included a literacy component as each package included a handwritten letter from a second-grader. After brainstorming topic ideas, the students crafted letters to the soldiers, thanking them for sacrifices made for their country and

extending their well wishes for a speedy return home. They then decorated paper bags with hearts and patriotic themes before filling them with valentine candy, pencils, soap and other toiletries. Parents and students donated the items collected for the packages. As a special token of appreciation for the community service project, Councilwoman Jane Bonner presented each student with a commemorative certificate at the conclusion of the event.

Penning A Winning Essay Joseph A. Edgar Intermediate School fifthgrader Elana Gold was named one of four winners in the Take A Duck To Class essay contest sponsored by TD Bank and the Long Island Ducks. More than 1,000 essays were written and submitted to this year’s contest. Each essay was 250 words or less and focused on “Why My Community Is Important To Me.” In her essay, Elana focused on her

community’s ability to come together to help others, the many support organizations and its schools. “As a community, we make a good team,” she wrote. “We come together as a community, but also as a family. I absolutely love living here and wouldn’t want to be anywhere else.” As one of the lucky winners, Elana earned a $50 Visa gift card from TD Bank and a visit from L.I. Ducks manager Kevin Baez and team mascot

QuakerJack. During a special assembly program, Elana read her essay in front of her fifth-grade peers before Mr. Baez spoke about his career and the importance of working hard in school. After the program, Elana’s class had the chance to play whiffle ball with the special guests and received a drawstring backpack and school supplies from the contest organizers.

Cultivating Kindness By: Janice Calandrino, Levittown Living by the golden rule; Do unto others as you would have done to you. Accepting that we cannot change everyone, but we can change ourselves. Identifying our pet peeves and learn how to stop feeding into them. Making that extra effort to “put ourselves out there” without losing ourselves. Talking about our feelings, good and bad, without putting the responsibility of them on others. Being courteous to others, those we know and those we don’t. Living and loving one day at a time.

“Covered Bridge” Photo by: Nancy E. Hassel

By: Sanford H. Weinberg, Plainview Fill your day with warmth and joy; Greet all you meet with a smile and a chuckle, And there will be little or no breadth for greed or sadness. Engage your heart and soul with love and happiness; It will surely be met with similitude from those persons with whom you gather, And there will be little expanse for complaints or grudges. Enliven your spirit with wonderful interests and activities; Think positive thoughts, be optimistic in your views, Share a kind word with a friend or colleague; Present a firm grip and strong handshake, And there will be little measure for misery and enmity. Complete your surroundings with an aura of thankfulness and serenity; An embrace, a hug, or perchance a welcome kiss will do, And be well assured there will never be room for animosity.

Help For Teens Available

Stuttering is a frustrating and embarrassing problem for millions of people, but it can be especially tough on teenagers. Help is available at most public libraries in the form of a DVD. Some libraries have an older video format. “It’s meant to encourage teens, to tell them that there is hope out there,” said Professor Peter Ramig of the University of Colorado at Boulder. Ramig is one of three nationally recognized experts appearing in the DVD produced by the nonprofit Stuttering Foundation. David Wilkins, a high school student who LI STRING FEST - Port Jefferson Middle School LISFA participants (from left) Mayu stutters, narrates the DVD.

experiences with stuttering and what they found to be helpful. They talk openly about the ridicule they faced from classmates and how their stuttering affects their lives. “We really try to emphasize the embarrassment and frustration factor, and we think teens will relate to that,” adds Ramig. He appears in the DVD along with speech-language pathologists Dr. Barry Guitar of the University of Vermont and Dr. Hugo Gregory of Northwestern University. The three experts answer questions about stuttering, refute myths and misconceptions, and present examples of therapy sessions showing how stuttering can be

reduced. More than three million Americans stutter, yet stuttering remains misunderstood by most people,” said Jane Fraser, president of the Stuttering Foundation. “Myths such as believing people who stutter are less intelligent or suffer from psychological problems still persist despite research refuting these erroneous beliefs.” Books and DVDs produced by the 66-yearold nonprofit Stuttering Foundation are available free to any public library. A library that will shelve them can contact the Foundation at 1.800.992.9392, e-mail info@stutteringhelp. org, or visit www. stutteringhelp.org or www. tartarmudez.org.

Digital Footprint This February, seventhgraders at Port Jefferson Middle School observed Digital Learning Day, a nationwide celebration of digital learning in the 21st century. Organized by teachers Monica Consalvo and Deirdre Filippi, Digital Learning Day aims to demonstrate how learning can be transformed when the Web and the effective use of technology are successfully incorporated into the classroom. This is the school’s third year participating. “This year’s theme was

A Day In My Digital Life,” said Consalvo. “Students took an online survey about how the digital world has impacted their lives. They also wrote reflections that discussed what technological tools they use most, how they have changed the way they study and complete homework and whether they feel those changes are positive or negative.” The survey took a closer look at the most popular times of the day students access digital devices, academic integration with

technology and more. Students also examined their digital footprints, studying their personal data trails created through the use of electronic devices. “Technology helps me tremendously when I am doing research,” said one student. “I can find the information I need in a short period of time, easily make corrections to my writing with a word processor and my final documents are neat and easy to read.”

For example, at the electrical workstation, participants have to measure voltage resistance and amps; at the information retrieval station, students have to research a series of questions; and at the vehicle inspection station, they have to locate defects. Said Ward Tech Automotive Instructor Michael O’Hara, “There is lots of training involved for this competition and I take it very seriously. Our students are the cream of the crop and it requires a lot of hard work and commitment to get to that level. No matter how they place in the next round of competitions, that kind of determination will take them far in the world, and DIGITAL FOOTPRINT - Seventh-grade students at Port Jefferson Middle School I’m proud of them.” observed Digital Learning Day and took a closer look at how the digital world has impacted their lives.

With support from the New York State Health Foundation (NYSHealth), 25 organizations across New York State are ramping up their efforts to prevent diabetes. Grant awards totaling more than $400,000 will help community-based

organizations - from local health departments and health systems to community health centers and YMCAs implement and expand the National Diabetes Prevention Program (NDPP). This 16-week program, which focuses

on lifestyle changes to improve healthy eating and physical activity, uses a well-tested model that could help the 4.5 million New Yorkers with prediabetes reduce their risk of developing the disease by 50%. “New York State is

facing a serious and costly health crisis, with nearly 25% of the population already living with diabetes,” said James R. Knickman, President and CEO of NYSHealth. “We need to focus energy and resources on preventing the onset of diabetes

and a whole host of other health problems related to obesity. The NDPP model is the most well-tested diabetes prevention program out there, and pushing it out to more New Yorkers in some of the hardesthit communities across

the State will be an important component of curbing the diabetes epidemic.” With this more than $400,000 investment, the Foundation will reach

Gtants Awarded Continued From 20 rates of diabetes and prediabetes, and make the NDPP available to New Yorkers in places where they live, work, and worship. The grantees selected have the potential for large-scale statewide or regionwide impact on spreading and sustaining

the NDPP, which has been lauded by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention as an effective, evidencebased public health program. The NDPP is a community-based program conducted by trained lifestyle coaches to teach people with prediabetes how

to modify their eating and physical activity habits, and to sustain those changes over time. Each one-hour class includes lessons on diet, exercise, staying motivated, overcoming stress, and other behavioral changes, all in a supportive group setting. The goal is to help people reduce their

weight through a healthy low-calorie, low-fat diet and by engaging in at least 150 minutes per week of physical activity. This evidence-based lifestyle intervention has been shown to help participants lose 5–7% of their body weight and reduce their risk of developing Type 2 diabetes by 50%.

Grant awards to organizations from the Bronx to Buffalo will support a range of activities to help organizations implement and grow the NDPP, including the expansion of existing programs; communication, outreach, and education activities to

obtain a steady flow of participants; and development of business plans to ensure the sustainability of the program. Projects were selected through a competitive request for proposals. A full list of grantees can be found here.


the minimum emergency “safety level.” Also, plateletsneeded for clotting- have only a 5-day shelf life and meeting the needs of cancer patients and others who require this lifesaving blood component has been a challenge. “While we’re confident in our ability to supply our partner hospitals, we’re still struggling with the effects of the snow and ice for the past two weeks, and worried about an even bigger hit this week,” said NYBC Vice President Rob Purvis. “It is critical that we all pitch in by donating blood to ensure that supplies aren’t further diminished in the days ahead.” There is no substitute for human blood, with about one in seven hospital admissions requiring a blood transfusion. Blood is especially important for people with leukemia, other forms of cancer, and of course for trauma victims. With a limited shelf life, supplies must be continually replenished. Three factors are combining together to prompt NYBC’s emergency declaration:

1. Many blood drives have been cancelled because of accumulated or predicted snowfall. 2. Many donors haven’t been able to make scheduled donation appointments due to the weather. 3. Hospital demand for blood types – notably O-negative, the universal blood type because of its usefulness in trauma

situations – remains high. If you cannot donate but still wish to participate in bringing crucial blood products to patients in need, please ask someone to donate for you, or consider volunteering at a local blood drive. NYBC also offers special community service scholarships for students who organize community blood drives during summer months.

Any company, community organization, place of worship, or individual may host a blood drive. NYBC also offers special community service scholarships for students who organize community blood drives during summer and winter months. Blood donors receive free mini-medical exams on site including information about their

temperature, blood pressure and hematocrit level. Eligible donors include those people at least age 16 (with parental permission or consent), who weigh a minimum of 110 pounds, are in good health and meet all Food & Drug Administration and NY or NJ State Department of Health donor criteria. People over 75 may donate with a doctor’s note.

Continued From 6 avoid dehydration. Don’t put snow in your mouth as a source of liquid, always melt it first. “Eating” snow will lower your body temperature, increasing your risk of hypothermia. Make Your Vehicle Easy To Find: Tie a piece of brightly colored cloth or plastic to your antenna or hang it out of a window. When running the engine at night, turn on interior lights if you hear rescuers nearby. Rescuers can see a small glow at a considerable distance. To reduce battery drain, use emergency flashers only if you hear approaching vehicles. If the snow has

stopped falling, open the hood of the car as a distress signal. Keep the roof of your car free of snow so it’s visible from the air. Communicate: Make sure that your cell phone is fully charged. Call 911 and describe your location as precisely as possible. Keep calls brief to save your battery. Sending text messages for help has the best chance of getting through while minimizing battery loss. Don’t Expect To Be Comfortable: The goal is to endure until you’re found. Remember that the keys to survival are to remain calm and patient, and to be prepared.

Winter Survival Tips

SUFFOLK ZONE 6 - NEIGHBOR NEWSPAPERS - WEDNESDAY FEBRUARY 19, 2014 • www.southbaysneighbor.com

In the midst of an unprecedented string of winter storms, New York Blood Center is urgently asking donors to roll up their sleeves to replenish the community blood and platelet supply. Dozens of blood drives have been canceled because of bad weather. Blood drives that are continuing have experienced greatly reduced attendance, while operations at NYBC’s many walk-in donor centers are similarly affected. “I urge residents to donate to this vital cause,” Suffolk County Executive Steve Bellone said. “So many people depend on donations to survive serious illnesses or accidents. Giving blood is an easy way to help others in need.” To donate blood or platelets or for information on how to organize a blood drive please call toll free: 1.800.933.2566 or visit: www.nybloodcenter.org Of the six major blood types, five are below target levels. The supply of O-Negative blood – “universal donor” blood that can be transfused into anyone in a trauma situation – is now below
