Educating the public, lawmakers, businesses, and the media about the Affordable Care Act (ACA), the March 2010 federal reform law that is overhauling the American health care delivery system, is a priority of the NassauSuffolk Hospital Council (NSHC). The association’s work in this effort was recently commended with a 2012 Gold Level MarCom Award, presented by the Association of Marketing and Communications Professionals. The NSHC, which represents Long Island’s hospitals, was recognized for its “ABCs of Health Care Reform and You” public information campaign. The ABC campaign, launched in January 2012, continues as a collaborative effort among the senior public affairs directors at each of NSHC’s 24 member hospitals and NSHC’s communications

Racing To The Finish By: Jamie Lynn Ryan No matter how much of a “head start” I get on the week, I always feel completely overwhelmed by the time Friday comes around. Is it just me? Do I subconsciously slow down the pace as the week progresses, forcing everything to pile up at the end? Or does the list of “To Do” items continuously outweigh the “Done” section, as seven more tasks are added for every two accomplished? So it would seem. And all this without taking a day off. Imagine if, by some sheer loss of judgement, I actually tried to cram everything into four days,
rather than five. What would happen then? Not that the weekends are particularly restful and relaxing either, mind you. No, they pretty much consist of two days of nonstop running around, back and forth across the Island, in a fruitless effort to mix chores, errands and maybe a touch of recreation thrown in for good measure (read: mental health). When did my schedule become so insane? Seems like it was not so long ago that I had quite a bit more free time on my hands, even days when I was somewhat bored. Imagine that. Sort of makes you wish for the days back in elementary school when you
would make it about three days into summer vacation before whining that there was “nothing” to do. Ah, to be that young and innocent again. Nowadays, most people work overtime leading up to and following a “vacation,” only to have it interspersed by checking e-mails, voicemails and “touching base” to make sure everything is running smoothly in their absence. I can’t remember the last time I spent even a handful of days completely cut off from the rest of the world. Sounds nice, doesn’t it? Sounds like a plan, in fact. Once I catch up on the week. If I ever do :)

Everyone got involved in this multi-step process.” All of the GDGC staff members expressed how good they felt from this experience. “I’m thankful to GDGC for organizing this amazing project as this is something I probably wouldn’t do on my own, and I loved it” explained Kevin Wimmer, associate attorney. He also got to know people he works with every day in another way and spend time with others with whom he typically does not interact. Alisha commented that GDGC was a tremendous help to LI Cares. “Stocking the shelves and packing food are critical components at our busiest time of year, and the GDGC team got us to a place where we could distribute the items to the people who would use them in a timely manner. In addition, the firm collected and donated over 60 pounds of food. I’m hopeful they will return next year.”

One person took phone orders and ran them back to the group in the pantry, others packed up specific boxes of holiday food donations and another group sorted clothing donations and winter coats. “We pitched in to help each other solve problems that arose while working in the 35,000 sq. ft. warehouse as we would do at the law firm when handling legal issues, such as Medicaid, estate documents, guardianships, etc.,” says Diana ChoyShan, associate attorney. “For example, when we ran out of potatoes for the holiday food orders, the team decided to substitute stuffing and then had to figure out where to get

At Genser Dubow Genser & Cona (GDGC), elder law and estate planning firm based in Melville, 15 attorneys, paralegals and support staff teamed up and spent the day at the LI Cares warehouse where they sorted toys and coats, categorized food items, filled food orders for holiday delivery, unloaded boxes and repacked food to give to those in need as well as to Hurricane Sandy victims. According to Jennifer Cona, Esq., managing partner at GDGC, the staff got back as much as they gave. “Our firm culture is very invested in charitable works and community projects.

robots attempting to climb up pyramids located near the middle of the field. In addition, SBPLI held a special session for the students’ parents in which they learned about the organization, its mission and the impact of the robotics programs on the students’ lives, both academically and professionally. The parents also learned that the 2013 SBPLI Regional event could be the last one without substantial new funding. An interactive session followed in which the parents provided suggestions for fundraising activities and ways to reach other parents in the program. At Saturday’s kickoff, teams were shown the game field and received a kit of parts made up of motors, batteries, a control system, a PC, and a mix of automation components — but no instructions. Once these young inventors create a robot, their teams participate in competitions that measure the effectiveness of each robot, the power of collaboration, and the determination of students. The FRC kickoff was sponsored by SchoolBusiness Partnerships of Long Island, Inc. (SBPLI), which has also sponsored the Long Island Regional FRC for the past thirteen years, and Stony Brook University. Sponsors provide resources including time and talent from professional mentors,
services, equipment, financial contributions, and/or volunteers. “This proves to be an exciting time for the students and the mentors when they learn the name and the rules of the game for this year’s FIRST Robotics Competition,” said Ginny Greco, FRC Director, SBPLI. “We are very proud to present the FRC kickoff as we prepare for the upcoming Long Island Regional FRC in April.” During the 2013 season, 50 teams from Long Island, New York City, the surrounding area and the Republic of Brazil will convene at Hofstra University for the Long Island Regional FRC on April 4-6, culminating in the 2013 FIRST Championship on April 24th-27th at the Edward Jones Dome in St. Louis, Missouri. “The next six weeks will be crucial for these students as they design and construct their robots for this competition,” Ms. Greco said. “The Long Island Regional FIRST Robotics Competition showcases the talents of these students who learn not only the basic technological aspects of building their robots, but also about other concepts such as teamwork, problem solving and gracious professionalism.” For more information, visit http://www.sbpli.org.

More than 800 teenagers from Long Island and metropolitan New Yorkarea schools converged at the Javits Center at Stony Brook University on January 5th for a local kickoff of the FIRST® Robotics Competition (FRC®) where they learned details of a new robotics game called “ULTIMATE ASCENT” “FIRST isn’t about competing, it’s about cooperating and recognizing that, if you have the right tools, you’ll be able to make this world a better place for yourself and for the country,” said FIRST Founder Dean Kamen. “There is no stimulus package that will have as much return as stimulating a bunch of kids to become the workforce of the future, the problem solvers, the creators of the future.” Working with adult Mentors, FRC teams must determine their strategy and have six weeks to build, program, and test their robots to meet the season’s engineering challenge. In the game “ULTIMATE ASCENT,” two alliances of three teams compete on a 27-by-54-foot playing field as they try to shoot as many flying discs into their goals as possible during the 2-minute, 15-second match. Discs scored in higher goals score Alliances more points. Alliances are awarded bonus points if they are balanced on bridges at the end of the match. Matches end with

Fourth-grade students at Old Country Road Elementary School in Hicksville celebrated the birth of American poet Emily Dickinson in December with a presentation of poetry readings in the school library. Patricia Collier’s and Christine Moir’s students were given the option to choose between reciting
either published poems or their own original rhymes. They had ample time to practice their reading and were rewarded for memorization if they recited by rote. The selections ranged from the classics penned by poets such as Ms. Dickinson and Langston Hughes to more recent, lighthearted verse. “The event was a moving and inspiring

Free Mulch Available
Following the collection of trees and limbs which fell in the area due to Hurricane Sandy, the Town of Oyster Bay is offering residents and businesses free, double ground mulch, available at John J. Burns Town Park in Massapequa, according to Town Supervisor John Venditto. “Hurricane Sandy brought down many trees, not to mention countless limbs, all across the Town,” Supervisor Venditto said. “Rather than ship the wood as garbage, the Town decided to recycle the wood by turning it into mulch and making it available to residents for their home gardening projects.” The Supervisor noted that the mulch is double ground, making it comparable to landscaping
standards. Businesses are also welcome to the supply. “Mulching is one of the simplest and most beneficial practices you can use in the garden,” the Supervisor said. “Organic mulch, such as that made from trees, improves the condition of the soil. As the mulch slowly decomposes, it provides organic matter which helps keep the soil loose. This improves root growth, increases the infiltration of water, and also improves the water-holding capacity of the soil. Organic matter is also a source of plant nutrients and provides an ideal environment for earthworms and other beneficial soil organisms. Additionally, mulch will help prevent the germination of many weed seeds, reducing the need
for herbicides and the dreaded chore of pulling weeds.” The Supervisor noted that the mulch was produced by putting the trees and limbs through a tub grinder, making it a finer consistency than a wood chipper produces. The mulch will be available daily at John J. Burns Town Park, Merrick Road in Massapequa, Monday through Friday, between the hours of 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Residents and commercial vehicles will be permitted to pull up to the work area, located at the back of the park. Business patrons will be asked to fill out a waiver prior to filling mulch. For more information, contact the Town’s Highway Department at 516.677.5757.

with EAC to offer these classes to seniors, in an effort to better provide computer education to our older residents,” Councilwoman Faughnan said. “The classes are wide ranging, and no prior experience with computers is necessary.” Councilwoman Faughnan noted that classes are taught by volunteer instructors and coaches, who strive to make learning fun to help seniors adjust to the ever changing world of technology. There is a modest fee for materials.
“Keeping in touch with technology will open up new experiences for each and every one of you,” Councilwoman Faughnan said. “Enrolling in these SeniorNet classes will enable you to learn how to send emails to your grandchildren and even chat with old friends in other states.” For more information regarding the SeniorNet Computer Classes program, including registration information, call 516.539.0150, ext. 130

Firstand secondgraders at Charles Campagne Elementary School in the Bethpage School District wrote personal narratives and drew illustrations about their experiences during Hurricane Sandy.
Each class compiled their own stories and illustrations into a class book titled Hurricane Sandy Stories, which was then spirally bound. After students shared their stories with classmates, the books were passed around
so that other classes could read them as well. The activity served as an outlet for students to share their experiences while practicing reading and narrative writing.

Each year, Catholic Health Services (CHS) seeks nominations from its staff for the system’s Emmy, the Patrick J. Scollard Award for Leadership. This year’s winner of CHS’s highest honor is Deborah Kohn, RN, BS, CCRN, a clinical nurse educator at CHS’s St. Catherine of Siena Medical Center, where she has been on staff for more than 30 years. Chosen from among colleagues across CHS, she was recognized at the system’s ninth annual leadership conference, held at the DeMatteis Center in Greenvale. “Deborah is the personification of our mission statement, which says, in part, ‘serves the common good.’ This she does inside and outside this ministry. CHS is truly blessed to have so fervid a leader as part of ‘Christ’s healing mission’ here on Long Island,” said CHS President and Chief Executive Officer Richard J.J. Sullivan, Jr. Kohn, a Manorville resident who also has been honored with the Excellent Preceptor Award from the American Association of Critical-Care Nurses, has contributed significantly to St. Catherine’s innovative simulation training program and collaborated with critical care educators at CHS’s St. Charles Hospital and
Good Samaritan Hospital Medical Center to provide the most advanced continuing education to nursing staff. She serves her community by chairing the local Junior Firefighters Explorers, training teens in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), first aid and firefighting skills, in addition to guiding community service projects such as blood drives, snow removal from fire hydrants and other programs. Kohn participates in local automatic external defibrillator (AED) education and health fairs, as well. One of the two leading finalists for the Patrick J. Scollard Award is Sue Palo, director of rehabilitative and community services for CHS’s St. Francis Hospital, The Heart Center®. Palo has been instrumental in the hospital’s successful community outreach programs, including the deployment of its mobile health unit and St. Francis’s participation in CHS’s Healthy Sundays, a network of free health screenings and other services reaching medically underserved residents across Long Island. The East Northport resident also acts as liaison for the hospital’s longstanding partnership with the Gift of Life program, which has provided more than 100
lifesaving surgeries for children all over the world. The other leading finalist for this notable honor is Michael Sauter, MD, chief medical officer at St. Charles Hospital, another CHS hospital. Dr. Sauter has led the effort to raise stroke awareness among at-risk populations in surrounding communities, offering free lectures and blood pressure screenings, as well as providing seminars on stroke treatment to emergency medical services personnel. He has helped the hospital achieve NYS Stroke Center designation and The Joint Commission’s Gold Seal of Approval™ certification of St. Charles as a stroke center, along with expanding programs to continue stroke care beyond discharge. As the hospital’s chief medical officer, Sauter, who lives in Port Jefferson, continues to promote the highest standards of care for patients and the community.

This number accounts for more than 10 percent of the 300 semifinalists nationally and nearly 50 percent, 26 of 53 semifinalists from Long Island. The semifinalists mentored at Stony Brook University participated in the Simons Summer Research Program, the Garcia Center for Polymers at Engineered Interfaces Summer Research Program or independently under the direction of Stony Brook Faculty members. In addition to mentoring 49 percent of Long Island’s semifinalists, Stony Brook faculty mentored four semifinalists from California, two from New Jersey, one from Texas and one from Oregon,
respectively. Since 1998, Stony Brook University has mentored 393 Intel semifinalists and to date, 44 Intel finalists. Stony Brook University mentors for 2013 Intel semifinalists include, Maricedes AcostaMartinez, Physiology & Biophysics; Peter Brink, Physiology & Biophysics; Benjamin Chu, Chemistry; Matthew Dawber, Physics & Astronomy; James Dilger, Anesthesiology; Nancy Franklin, Psychology; Dilip Gersappe, Materials Science & Engineering; Paul Gignac, Anatomical Sciences; William Holt, Geosciences; Benjamin Hsiao, Chemistry; Roy Lacey, Chemistry; Jaymie Meliker, Graduate Program in Public Health; Aaron Neiman, Biochemistry & Cell Biology; Iwao Ojima, Chemistry; Miriam Rafailovich, Materials Science & Engineering; Dimitris Samaras, Computer Science; Valentina Schmidt, Medicine; Carlos Simmerling, Chemistry; Balaji Sitharaman, Biomedical Engineering;

Just last month, Professor Iwao Ojima, Distinguished Professor Department of Chemistry and Director of the Institute of Chemical Biology and Drug Discovery, mentored Raghav Tripathi, recipient of a $10,000 scholarship and sixth place in the Siemens Science Competition.

National Wear Red Day “How do you go red?” asks the American Heart Association. On Friday, February 1st, people from across Long Island, as well as corporations, businesses, hospitals, towns, schools, local and state legislators, members of the media, teachers, and people from all walks of life will be wearing red to focus attention on - and raise funds to fight - the No. 1 killer of women – cardiovascular disease. On February 1st, the American Heart Association’s 10th Annual National Wear Red Day asks women to show their support for the fight against heart disease in women by wearing red. It’s an easy, powerful way to speak up and show support for Go Red For Women®, the American Heart Association’s solution to save women’s lives. The Go Red For Women movement, sponsored nationally by Macys and Merck urges women to take charge of their cardiovascular health, make it a top priority and live a stronger, longer
life. The North ShoreLong Island Jewish Health System is the Cities Go Red Sponsor for the movement. Every minute in the United States, someone’s wife, mother, daughter or sister dies from heart disease, stroke or other form of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Heart disease is the No. 1 killer of women age 25 and older and stroke is the No. 4 killer of women, as women account for 61 percent of all stroke deaths annually. The American Heart Association Go Red For Women movement is about turning around these statistics. It’s also about resources, information and hope. Donations to Go Red For Women help support our efforts to educate women and to fund breakthrough research by the American Heart Association that helps ensure women are represented in clinical studies. Since 2004, through its fundraising efforts, Go Red For Women has contributed almost $44 million to women-
focused research and has provided additional funds to life-saving educational programs and tools for physicians. On February 1st, or on a different day if you wish, you and your colleagues are encouraged to wear red (and dress down if your company allows) and each donate $5 or more. As a thank you for their support, each participant will receive a Go Red For Women® red dress pin or sticker to wear, along with information about how to make healthy choices every day. As a Wear Red Day Coordinator, you’ll receive a Coordinator’s Tool Kit with all the materials needed to conduct a successful Wear Red Day event – including a Coordinator’s Guide, educational materials, posters, and ideas to make your event successful and fun. For more information about National Wear Red Day and to sign up your company or organization, call Jessica DiMeo at 516.450.9111 or email Jessica.dimeo@heart.org.
