Community rallies for little league Mattydale-Hinsdale organization bowls to benefit local kids By Miranda L. Pennock

On Aug. 30, a fire was set and the future of the Mattydale-Hinsdale Little League was called into question. The blaze, determined by fire investigators to be arson, destroyed the organization’s concessions and storage areas at Burnham Park. Soon after the devastation, the community rallied around those in the organization in an attempt to rebuild what was lost. On Friday Nov. 26, members of the little league, current and past, gathered at the AMF Strike-n-Spare Lanes in Mattydale to bowl in support of the young ball players. “We’re happy with the turnout,” said Mike Scarcella, a former little leaguer who now lives in North
Carolina. With an overall goal to raise $15,000 just to get the league up and running by next season, Scarcella was hopeful the bowling benefit would bring in upward of $4,000. Scarcella said he read a news article that said there was a possibility the league may not be operational next year. “There’s no way this community will allow that to happen,” he said. “I would be crushed as a kid if I couldn’t play little league.” Maggie McRobbie, who played little league along with Scarcella, said there were many ways to donate to the league outside of the actual bowling — like purchasing tickets to win one of several gift baskets from local merchants up
for grabs. The raffle included items like baseball equipment from CNY Fast Pitch and Uppercase Living merchandise, donated by Tracy Osier-Roman and Tara Osier. McRobbie also put together some themed baskets to raffle off that promoted family time. A large part of the little league is to show the children how important family and positive choices are, McRobbie said. Many of the people at the lanes made the day a time to spend together as a family. Jordyn Herzog, 12, spent the day bowling with her dad, Mike, and brother, Colby, 9. Jordyn started playing T-ball with the little league organization when she was 5 and now has moved up Please see League, page 13

Opinion Editorial
A life cut short
We are deeply saddened with the community’s loss of a young, energetic woman. Jenni-Lyn Watson had her entire life ahead of her. As the media, we are not supposed to allow ourselves to become emotionally invested in our stories. We report from an objective point of view. Or at least we try. But, as news of Jenni-Lyn’s disappearance developed into a full-scale search, and then the discovery of her lifeless body, some of us found ourselves wrapped up in the “Why?” and “How could anyone do that?” They aren’t easy questions to ask; they aren’t easy ones to answer. We could see Undersheriff Warren Darby choke up as he told the world Jenni-Lyn wouldn’t be coming home, and it broke some of us. The tough reporter façade dissipated; the strong man of the law melted with the truth, a truth no one wanted to find out. We all hoped Jenni-Lyn would come home safely. She didn’t. And we now hope justice will be done. The judicial system and a jury will see to that. Our continued thoughts and prayers are with the Watson family and all who aided in the search for Liverpool’s young dancer.

Busy mom brainstorms tutoring for all ages You’ve got to appreciate a lady like Kelley Romano. The wife of one of Central New York’s best dentists, the mother of a happy handful of accomplished kids and the owner of one of the village’s most historic homes, Kelley seems to live a charmed — albeit busy — life in Liverpool. While family is her priority, Kelley pays it forward, as they say. She applies her energies not only to her loved ones but also to the betterment of the entire community. I first met her a decadeand-a-half ago when she worked on a committee which eventually achieved the repeal of the village’s ill-advised consolidation with the Syracuse Police Department. Later, she was instrumental in our successful effort to prevent a WalMart Supercenter from ruining Liverpool. In 2008, Kelley was part of Promoting Action and Accountability in Liverpool schools, a group which monitored the management of the troubled Liverpool Central School District. Now, continuing on the education theme, Kelley has helped establish the Drop-In Tutoring Center at St. Joseph the Worker
Church, 1001 Tulip St., here in the village. The center, which opened Nov. 23, mentors learners of all ages from 3 to 5 p.m. Tuesdays and from 4 to 6 p.m. Thursdays. As she attended a recent meeting of St. Joseph’s Parish Council, Kelley said, “I heard that the church is looking for new ways to reach out to the community.” So she suggested an academic tutoring center, and all agreed it was a great idea. “I wanted to do some volunteer tutoring along with the actual teaching I do on Mondays, teaching a writing course to a group of high-school students at a home-school co-op,” she said. “The church has the space for teaching, the food pantry which serves the local community, and it’s convenient to many families.” Kelley put a notice in the church bulletin seeking tutors, and in a few weeks she received commitments from about a dozen adults and a few high school students to tutor math, reading, writing, homework, study skills
and English as a second language. “Many of our volunteers are retired teachers or teacher assistants or folks who have worked in the various local literacy programs,” Kelley said. “Most of the tutors are parishioners of St. Joseph the Worker, and they will all need VIRTUS training within two months if they are going to be working with children.” VIRTUS is the brand name that identifies best-practices programs designed to prevent wrongdoing and promote “rightdoing” within religious organizations. The training programs were established about 10 years ago in response to revelations about church-related child abuse. But the Drop-In Tutoring Center isn’t only for school-kids. Adults – especially immigrants studying English as a second language – will surely benefit from the tutoring. Because of budget cuts, BOCES no longer hires tutors for English as a second language, but those adult learners will be able to easily access the St. Joe’s location because it’s on the
same CENTRO bus line as BOCES. “We don’t really know what’ll happen,” Kelley admitted, “but we believe that over time, the word will get out and the students will come.” No appointments are necessary and there is no cost for the tutoring services. Meanwhile, the center could use a few things to support the project such as calculators, rulers, colored pencils, picture books, a dictionary and thesaurus, hand sanitizer and tissues. If you can help, or if you or someone you know could use some tutoring help, contact Kelley at ka.romano@gmail.com, or call Terry Cardinal at 457-6060. Freedom soon, Lizard in 2011 Seems as though everyone’s craving hot joe and spicy barbecue. I must’ve had a dozen people ask me last week when Freedom of Espresso and the Limp Lizard Lounge will open their Liverpool locations. Insiders say Freedom will ring sometime this month at 401-403 First St., while the Lizard should start grilling in January at 201 First. Meanwhile, remember: patience is a virtue!
Questions abound where Regents is concerned For some time, I have been wondering whether the New York State Education Department and the Board of Regents really understood what was going on across the state. Here we are in one of the most serious financial crises since the Great Depression and the Board of Regents, spurred on by the federal government’s No Child Left Behind law, keeps revving up accountability pressures on local schools, despite less and less state aid since 2008. The other party to this double whammy, the U.S. Department of Education, can be somewhat partially absolved since the federal government has poured more than $5 billion into New York state schools through both stimulus funds and the Jobs Funds money since 2009. In North Syracuse alone, this federal largess saved more than 100 jobs over the past two years.
Thus, I was pleased to read an insightful report, “Cost Drivers, State Aid and Education Reform: The Problem and Possible Strategies,” presented to the Subcommittee on State Aid of the New York State Board of Regents. Dated Oct. 17, the report addressed the problem very clearly: the Regents “are implementing a bold reform agenda to raise educational standards and performance,” at the same time that New York state is facing a budget gap of about $1 billion this fiscal year and $9 billion in the next fiscal year. To make it even more challenging, federal stimulus funds dry up next June 30. The report raised the vital question: what are key recommendations
the Regents should make as the state balances its budget in order to minimize the impact of the budget gap on school reform? Cost containment proposals ranging from district consolidation and reorganization of services to statewide property tax caps and special education mandate relief were some of the various strategies mentioned in the report. All of the five policy questions that conclude the report are timely at this time when schools are expected to raise school achievement with less funding, but these three are most relevant: ✓ Can the state improve the distribution of State Aid in a way that is fair to all school districts while better accomplishing the state’s mission of providing an adequate
education to all students? ✓ Can the current rate of increase in salaries and benefits be maintained? ✓ How can the state continue progress in providing the opportunity for all students to meet state learning standards, despite the economic crisis? Although legislative approval would be necessary to implement many of the strategies listed in the report, I have renewed hope and confidence in the fact that the “problem” has been described very clearly for the Board of Regents and the New York State Education Department. One can only hope the state Legislature and the Governor, with firm recommendations from the Regents, will make the difficult decisions that are necessary if public education as we know it is to be sustained in New York state.

Young Jedi train at CHE By Matthew Liptak Contributor Children at Chestnut Hill Elementary School jumped light years ahead in their physical education recently. Students from classes in kindergarten to the sixth grade participated in 40 minutes of activities both Nov. 16 and 17 during an action course called the “Jedi Challenge.” At one point, secondgraders waited in anticipation as two adults did a quick run through of the stages of the course for them. Comments like “this is so cool,” and “I love gym” resounded through the gymnasium “These days, kids require extra motivation to participate in physical activities,” said the school’s physical education teacher, Michael Zachery. “The excitement and atmosphere created in the ‘Star Wars’ action course takes them outside of their usual galaxy, and they forget they are participating in very challenging physical tasks. Their stamina is also challenged, though they don’t want to stop. If kids like what they are doing, this

For the past five years, Bishop Ludden has presented “Student of the Month” Awards to those individuals who deserve to be recognized for any outstanding accomplishment or display of kindness and/or compassion. In September, the school made slight changes to this recognition program and now presents monthly ACE Awards — AchievementCharacter-Effort. Achievement = accomplishment, reaching a goal Character = acts of kindness and integrity, character growth Effort = improvement, going above and beyond what is expected Those receiving ACE Awards for October included Sarah Rose Costello, an eighth-grader from Liverpool, and ninth-grader Billy Hoffman, of Baldwinsville. ACE presentations take place at the end of monthly liturgy. Each individual honored receives a few nice gifts and their photo is prominently displayed in the main hallway.

Three second-graders from Chestnut Hill Elementary School in Liverpool, Nathan Hyslop, left, Christopher Schug and Simil Delacruz immerse themselves in the world of “Star Wars” during physical education class. The three participated in the school’s “Jedi Challenge” action course Nov. 16. experience may inspire them to become more physically active.” The course was designed by Zachery and the school’s occupational therapist, Jonathan Reid. It consisted of an obstacle course meant to simulate sequences from all the movies from the “Star Wars” series. Stages along the course included dueling with plastic light sabers; scaling a climbing wall; mastering a balance board with Yoda attached to your back; swinging across an empty space on a rope swing and using Nintendo’s Wii video game system. The game system forces
players to use active body movements to advance in the game. Integrating technology with traditional forms of education is becoming more common, Zachery said. “Bringing technology into the classroom is a future trend!” he said. “It allows us to gain the interest of our students. Our main objective is to keep our students interested in physical activity so they can remain physically active for an entire lifetime.” It took a bit of hard work on the part of Zachery, Reid and the custodial staff to turn the Hollywood fantasy into a Chestnut Hill reality. Three days
of effort outside of work hours were required to make things happen. “It was very labor intensive to set it up, and to run it,” he said. They were rewarded by the enthusiasm and smiles of the children. And the adults got to take a trip down memory lane to a time that may not have been so long, long ago. “We had a tremendous amount of fun doing it,” Zachery said. “Jon and I have been huge ‘Star Wars’ fans since the days of our youth. This action course allowed us to go back in time. I think that we were just as excited as the kids!”

CNS goes 2-4 in state volleyball tournament By Jeff Brewster Cicero-North Syracuse hosted the boys volleyball state championships Saturday - which seemed fitting, as the hometown Northstars were taking part in the Class AA tournament for the first time in the program’s history.
Despite a monstrous crowd on hand to watch, the Northstars were unable to get the job done, recording a 2-4 record and missing the championship game. CNS started off against Long Island champion Half Hallow Hills, which proved to be an even
match-up as both teams picked up a win. Each of the games were evenly matched and were close throughout. The Northstars continued on to play Rochester McQuaid, where the Rochester team continued to show its dominance in sweeping the Northstars
while improving to 4-0. So CNS fell to 1-3, with its next round-robin match against Bethlehem - the Section II champion from the Albany suburbs. The second game started off with the Northstars taking the lead - which it would keep the entire way. Bethlehem stayed close,
until CNS pulled away late, winning by that same 25-19 margin. McQuaid and Half Hollow Hills West would advance to the AA championship match, where the Knights won in four games. Victor, also from Section V, beat Eastport/ S outh Manor in four

And once again, CNS freshman Maria LaMontagne produced a high finish. LaMontagne covered the 3.1-mile Bowdoin Park course in 18 minutes, 23.1 seconds, just behind West Genesee’s Laura Leff (18:03.3) in third. Corwall’s Aisling Cuffe won in a course-record time of 17:16.9.
Out of the 27 teams entered, the Northstars took 13th place with 303 points, while the Warriors earned 18th place with 415 points. Behind LaMontagne, CNS sophomore Nicole Watterud worked her way to 23rd place (15th among team entrants) in 19:16.8, while Jacqlynn Halstead
got 86th place (52nd team) in 20:22.3. Jessica Jelfo (21:35.0), Katie L aris (21:45.0), Marissa Colburn (22:08.2) and Maddy Kolakowski (22:35.0) rounded out the field. As for Liverpool, Rachel Putman led their effort, the senior finishing 47th among team runners (78th overall) in a time of
20:13.9. Caroline Dieffenderfer was 89th in the team standings (136 th overall) in 21:12.3, with Morgan Mahoney finishing in 21:29.1. Kailtyn McNamara (21:51.1) and Jessica Turner (21:52.4) ran next to each other, ahead of Ali Whiting (22:53.0).

Clay Central Park,â&#x20AC;? Darby said during a press conference shortly after 5 p.m. Saturday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The criminal investigation has been ongoing through the last week.â&#x20AC;? Onondaga County District Attorney William Fitzpatrick said Watsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s body is at the county medical examinerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office. An autopsy was scheduled for Sunday Nov. 28. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s foolish to speculate cause of death,â&#x20AC;? Fitzpatrick said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Whatever the cause of death was, it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t one that precipitated a lot of blood.â&#x20AC;? Officials said Watson and Pieper dated on and off for approximately 18 months and they understand Watson desired the relationship to end. According to Fitzpatrick, Watsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s parents were aware of the relationship and did â&#x20AC;&#x153;everything appropriate to protect their daughter.â&#x20AC;? Fitzpatrick said authorities knew very early on Pieper was their prime suspect. â&#x20AC;&#x153;[He] visited the Watson home on Friday [Nov. 19] morning. We believe he was the last person to see her alive,â&#x20AC;? he said.
According to Fitzpatrick, it appears Watson was not alive when taken from her home on Donegal Way in Liverpool. She was â&#x20AC;&#x153;dumped like garbageâ&#x20AC;? in the park, he told reporters. Watson did not have a vehicle available to her the morning of Nov. 19 and police have yet to have eyewitnesses come forward saying they saw Pieperâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s vehicle, a Volkswagen, in the area of Clay Central Park that day. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The men and women who worked on the case, we knew as much as you can know something, that Jenni-Lyn met with foul play very early on in this case,â&#x20AC;? Fitzpatrick said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not for us to say that, and we always would hold out hope that she would knock on the door over the weekend and say â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sorry, I did something silly. I took off with a friend. I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t call you, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sorry Mom and Dad.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; And that would have made everybody in this room the happiest human beings on the face of the Earth.â&#x20AC;?

We do not think she left the home alive,â&#x20AC;? Fitzpatrick said. The phone was not found during the search. Fitzpatrick said it would be a â&#x20AC;&#x153;fruitless effortâ&#x20AC;? to search for it now. Pieper is currently represented by counsel and has denied any involvement in her death, police said. He was arraigned Nov. 27 in Clay Town Court and remanded to the Onondaga County Justice Center where he was being held without bail.

As a little leaguer, she was impressed with the turnout Friday. “I think it’s really good to see the community come out to support us so we can build our stand back up,” she said. “[Little league is] a way to hang out with your friends and make new friends … We’re all supportive of our league.” Even at a young age, Jordyn urged the community to make contributions to help the organization rebuild what was lost and said any donations would

A New Year, A New You Planning is key to keeping New Year’s resolutions Most people have made New Year’s resolutions at some point in their lives -- with varying degrees of success. The secret to making -- and keeping -- a New Year’s resolution is to start thinking about it before New Year’s Eve. Be realistic The surest way to fall short of your goal is for it to be unrealistic. Resolving to never eat your favorite
food again is a set-up for failure. Set a goal that is attainable, such as avoiding that food more often than you do now. If your resolution is something like losing weight, do some research to see what a realistic, attainable goal would be. Choose wisely Don’t decide on a resolution at the last minute on New Year’s Eve.
It may help to make a list of possible resolutions and develop this list over time. Keep it with you and ask others to contribute ideas. You should know what your goal is well before December 31st arrives. Create a plan To be successful, it helps to have clear steps to put into action. Write See Resolutions, next page
Resolution ideas to consider for the new year Each and every New Year’s Day, millions of people across the globe resolve to make positiive changes in their life. Known as New Year’s resolutions, these ideas or commitments can fall by the wayside or prove to be a positive life-changing experience. Some of the more popular resolution ideas include the following: 3 Losing weight 3 Saving more and spending less 3 Visit a foreign country 3 Volunteer to help the less fortunate 3 Start (or finish) writing that novel 3 Quit smoking tobacco 3 Be more environmentally-friendly 3 Reduce stress 3 Spend more time with the family Many parents choose to spend more time with their family as their New Year’s resolution each year.
A champagne toast fit for a festive New Year’s Eve
Champagne is as much a part of New Year’s celebrations as countdowns and the ball dropping in Times Square. Those hosting a New Year’s party this year might want to consider the following recipe for “Champagne Punch” from A.J. Rathbun’s “Good Spirits” (Harvard Common Press). Champagne Punch Serves 10 6 ounces freshly squeezed orange juice 4 ounce simple syrup (see below) 2 ounces freshly squeezed lime juice 2 ounces freshly squeezed lemon juice 6 ounces white rum 6 ounces dark rum 1 25 fluid ounce bottle of champagne Orange, lime and lemon slice for garnish Ice (in block form of possible; if not, large chunks) 1. Add the ice to a large punch bowl. If using chunks (as opposed to a large block of ice), fill the bowl just under halfway. 2. Add the orange juice, simple syrup, lime juice, and lemon juice. With a large spoon or ladle, stir 10 times. 3. Add the light and dark rums. Stir 10 more times. 4. Add the champagne, but not too quickly. Enjoy the moment. Add a goodly amount of orange, lime and lemon slices. Stir, but only once. 5. Ladle into punch glasses or festive goblets. Try to ensure that every guest gets a slice of fruit and a smile. Simple Syrup Makes 41/2 cups 21/2 cups water 3 cups sugar 1. Add the water and sugar to a medium-size saucepan. Stirring occasionally, bring the mixture to a boil over mediumhigh heat. Lower the heat a bit, keeping the mixture at a low boil for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. 2. Turn off the heat, and let the syrup cool completely in the pan. Store in a clean, airtight container in the refrigerator.
‘Winter blues’ might be something more serious The arrival of the New Year brings with it many things besides just a turn of the calendar. A time for reflection, resolutions and looking forward, the New Year represents a clean slate, one many will welcome after a rather tumultuous 2009. Another image the New Year invokes is that of winter weather, replete with its short days and snowstorms. While the official arrival of winter is 10 days before the turn of the calendar, for many the unofficial start of the coldest season is when the holiday season ends and the new calendar year begins. Though winter has its afficionados, for many people winter can be a difficult time of year, one characterized by feelings of depression and indifference. For those who find themselves with those feelings each year, the cause could be a condition known as Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), which most commonly begins to occur during late fall, extending into the winter months. In fact, many simply assume the symptoms of SAD are the “winter blues,” a common misconception that could be masking a larger issue. However, understanding and recognizing SAD could be the first step for those looking to have a more enjoyable winter. What is SAD? SAD is a type of depression that is cyclic, affecting a See SAD, next page
Commonly perceived as “winter blues,” Seasonal Affective Disorder is a serious condition that can cause feelings of depression throughout a given season.

Resolutions
Opinion
Resolve to be involved
your resolution and plan down in a notebook or journal. Decide how you will deal with the temptation to backslide. This could include calling a friend for support, taking a walk around the block or simply thinking positively. Start your plan during the first few days of January to harness your motivation. Don’t expect overnight miracles. Resolutions are accomplished with a hundred tiny steps that happen throughout the year. You should think of a New Year’s resolution as nothing more than a starting point and that developing positive habits will keep your plan moving forward. Talk about it Tell friends and family members who will be there to support your resolve to change yourself for the better. The best-case scenario is to find a friend or family member
As 2010 comes to a close, and the confetti and streamers are swept up, the hangovers are medicated and the calendars are thrown away, many Central New Yorkers will look ahead to 2011 and make a resolution. That resolution may be something tangible, like quitting smoking, getting more organized or losing weight. Or it might go deeper, like being kinder, making new friends or taking up a new hobby. If you are looking for a way to improve your life and the lives of those around you, why not resolve to become involved in your community? Volunteer at or donate to a local organization, whether it be one that helps people in crisis, such as Vera House or the Rescue Mission, or one which helps children or the needy, such as Meals on Wheels, the local food pantry or a hospital’s pediatric ward. Or become a mentor or a Big Brother/Big Sister to a child who could use a helping hand or someone to look up to, someone to lend support when needed. Some web sites to help you get started helping others include volunteermatch.org and oasisnet.org, or use the “Volunteer Syracuse” search engine. Become involved in the government which shapes our towns and villages. Attend local board meetings or volunteer for civic organizations or municipal committees. Reach out to your neighbors, perhaps by starting a homeowners’ group, a neighborhood watch or something as simple as a local book, pitch or bridge club. Giving of yourself by getting involved in your community is a way to keep the holiday cheer going throughout the year.

who has also made a New Year’s resolution and agree to motivate each other. Remain flexible Obsessing over the occasional slip won’t help you achieve your goal. Do the best you can each day and keep moving forward. Expect that your plan can and will change. Sometimes even the goal itself will change. But most importantly, recognize partial successes at every step along the way. Experts say it takes about 21 days for a new activity, such as exercising, to become a habit, and six months for it to become part of your personality. Give it time and your new habits are sure to become second nature.

person during the same season each year. The symptoms of SAD will arrive and go away at the same time each year. As mentioned earlier, the majority of people who suffer from SAD will begin to experience symptoms in late fall, and those symptoms will continue through the winter months. What are the Symptoms of SAD? Symptoms of SAD often start out mildly and become more severe as the season progresses. Those symptoms can include: * Feelings of sadness * Anxiety * Withdrawal from social activities and situations * Loss of interest in usual activities * Feelings of hopelessness * Oversleeping * Weight gain * Difficulty concentrating * Craving of carbohydrates, such as bread and pasta While SAD is most common in late fall and early winter, it can also occur in spring and summer. This is called summer-onset seasonal affective disorder. Symptoms of this type of SAD are, in some cases, the opposite of winter seasonal affective disorder. * Irritability * Insomnia * Weight loss * Poor appetite What Causes SAD? It is still uncertain as to the specific causes of SAD. Experts, however, have theorized that lack of sunlight might be a contributing factor. A reduction in sunlight can cause a drop in serotonin, a neurotransmitter in the brain that influences mood,
appetite, sleep, and a host of other behaviors. An imbalance in serotonin is believed to influence mood in a way that leads to depression. That lends credence to the theory that a lack of sunlight and its subsequent depletion of serotonin could be a cause of SAD. Changes in season can also disrupt the balance of melatonin, a natural hormone that plays a role in sleep patterns and mood. What are Risk Factors for SAD? According to the Mayo Clinic, there are a handful of factors that may increase a person’s risk of SAD. Those include, but are not limited to: * Gender. Studies have shown that SAD is more commonly diagnosed among women than men. However, the same research has indicated that men often have more severe symptoms. * Geography. Where a person lives is also a risk factor for SAD. The further a person lives from the equator, be it north or south, the higher the risk factor for developing SAD. That’s likely due to the harsh decrease in sunlight during the winter months in areas far from the equator. * Family history. In general, depression tends to run in families. Because SAD is a type of depression, family history can also be a risk factor. Are Treatment Options Available? First and foremost, persons suspecting they or a loved one are suffering from SAD should consult a physician and get a diagnosis. Those who are diagnosed with SAD do have treatment options available to them, including light therapy and medications.

Hematology Oncology Associates (HOA) offers our patients a wide variety of treatments. These range from standard of care treatments, which have been proven effective, to a variety of clinical trials in which investigational medications are given with or compared to a standard of care to aid in the discovery of future cancer therapies. Currently, we are accruing patients to over 80 different studies primarily through research administered by the National Cancer Institute. For over 24 years, HOA has been the recipient of a grant called the Community Clinical Oncology Program (CCOP) that aims to provide cutting edge research opportunities to communities throughout the nation. To compliment what is available through CCOP, we also participate in a few studies with pharmaceutical companies. Additionally, we have authored and initiated several studies ourselves. Our participation and initiative in oncology research has garnered national attention and several awards for excellence. To our surprise, word of our outstanding research program has recently reached around the globe. Yair Dotan is much like any of our other patients who participate in research. He comes in for doctorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s appointments, meets with his research team, and receives an experimental drug for prostate cancer. However, unlike many of our patients,

Yesterday, I got out my fishing rod. I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t help thinking of everyone at HOA. It was last spring when I found out. I was overwhelmed, distraught â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and scared. I thought my fishing days were over. Then I went to HOA. My medical team all said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have the technology to fight this thing!â&#x20AC;? and showed me the CyberKnife. It sounded scary, but when I learned how it worked and how safe it was, I had hope for the first time. Your attitude really inspired me, your staff always encouraged me and your plan of action worked. I may have had cancer, but cancer never had me. Today, my kids and I are heading up to the lake.
