We Have Been Serving The Community For Over 60 Years!

TRANSPORTATION & DISTRIBUTION Eduardo Rodriguez, Joe Lambert

One week. Seven days. One hundred sixty eight hours.

(We won’t get into minutes and seconds – you get the idea.) This is precisely how much time remains before Christmas. And with the virtual countdown comes that age-old holiday anxiety, the mad rush to finish writing out the greeting cards, shopping for gifts, wrapping, cleaning, cooking, baking… whatever your traditions call for in the race to conjure that yearly sense of merriment.

Right. The holiday spirit.

That is what all the fuss

is about, after all. Lest we forget the reason for all the racing around, the endless “To Do” lists, the exorbitant credit card bills… all for a day or two of celebration with family and friends, neighbors and loved ones.

Seems like an awful lot of effort doesn’t it?

This is why, when everyone else is busy ripping down the Christmas decorations on December 26th, I say wait. Savor it a little longer.

Extend the festivities. You put all that time and effort into preparing for the occasion – might as well enjoy it as long as you can.

(Note: All remnants of Santa Claus should be removed by July. No exceptions.)

Of course, all of this is irrelevant to those who start their Christmas shopping in January and are finished decorating by Halloween.

Seriously folks – enjoy one season, and one holiday, at a time. What’s the big rush?

This time of year is not one long list to be accomplished in as little time as humanly possible; it is made up of moments to be cherished, memories to reflect upon and add to with each passing year.

Take a deep breath, take lots of pictures – and enjoy.

The Long Island Council on Alcoholism and Drug Dependence (LICADD) will host a full-day Anger Management Workshop on Saturday, December 21st, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the agency’s Mineola office.

The workshop provides participants with practical steps to address their triggers and learn how to manage their frustration in stressful situations.

This full-day workshop is in addition to the weekly sessions offered from 7:30 to 9 p.m. on Mondays at the Ronkonkoma office and Tuesdays from 7:30 to 9 p.m. in the Mineola office.

Classroom exercises and instructional materials are used to help guide participants in learning a variety of skills including stress management, communication training, anger management, empathy, and conflict resolution, as well as

skills in developing better judgment and impulse control.

Participants will receive an official certificate after completing the course.

LICADD’s anger management services are approved by all courts, probation departments, and Child Protective Services.

“The holidays are a difficult time for many people,” said LICADD Anger Management Program Coordinator Marcie Siciliano. “This workshop provides useful skills and resources to effectively manage the environmental stressors and anger triggers that surface during this season.” Participants are encouraged to continue their learning experience by enrolling in LICADD’s weekly Anger Management Series.

LICADD is the premier provider of anger management classes on

Long Island, offering low-cost workshops, classes, and coaching in both Nassau and Suffolk Counties.

The fee for the full-day Anger Management Workshop is $199.

Payment for LICADD’s anger management services may be made via check, cash, or major credit card.

Those on Medicaid or Public Assistance, and EAP clients, are eligible for a reduction in fees.

LICADD’s Mineola office is conveniently located at 114 Old Country Road, Suite 114. The full-day Anger Management Workshop is known to fill to capacity well in advance.

To secure your placement or for further information on the agency’s anger management services, please call 516.747.2606 or e-mail msiciliano@licadd. org.

EDP Dental Plan

For more than 10 years, EDP Dental Plan of Ronkonkoma has provided Long Islanders with an affordable dental care plan.

EDP developed a cost savings program that is available to anyone. EDP’s lowcost plan saves its members money on all dental procedures, from cleanings and exams to implants and braces. The discounts are given to the patient up front at the time of treatment to make it simple for the member to use.

Jill from EDP Dental Plan says, “We have been able to address our members’ biggest concerns with the dentist - the cost. Many of our members have avoided the dentist because they are concerned with how much it will cost, and therefore don’t get the dental care they desperately need. EDP is bridging the gap between provider and patient by providing this cost-effective program that gives members

instant relief from the financial burden of dental care. EDP provides new patients for the dentist and instant savings for our members. People ask us all the time, ‘Why do dentists take EDP?’ It’s simple, to get new patients and encourage people to take better care of their teeth - you only get one set.”

EDP Dental Plan is available to everyone, regardless of age, and has a low annual rate of $99 for a single person and $199 for family membership. With the EDP Dental Plan, you have unlimited access to all dental care and remarkable savings.

If you are in need of dental care and are putting it off due to financial concerns, then call EDP today and find out how you can save money on your dental care.

EDP Dental Plan will get you the care you need at a price you can afford. Call 877.327.8376 or enroll online at www. edpdental.com.

Anger Management Workshops

A Time For Rest & Relaxation

When I was in kindergarten, I wanted to be a policeman. When I was in fourth grade, I dreamed of becoming a pro football player. In middle school, I wanted to be a businessman.

Now, as I am supposed to be finalizing the college application process, I have realized that I have no idea what I want to be. This is undoubtably the most important decision I have had to make in my life. Unsurprisingly, it is also the most stressful.

Combined with the already demanding Advanced Placement course load, I am also

juggling clubs, sports and now dozens of college applications.

There are so many tasks on the checklist that I call my daily routine that it is hard to cram them all into a twentyfour hour time period.

Being a student is a fulltime job. Sure, I don’t have to worry about bills, and I don’t have many major responsibilities; but sometimes the stress is too much. As much as I enjoy going to school and being as involved as I am, there comes a time when I just need a break.

Thankfully, in just a few days it will be Christmas Vacation.

Over two weeks off with no responsibilities. By then, I will be all done applying to college.

The ball will be in their court. At that point, there will be nothing I can do but wait and hope my dream school makes the right decision. Once Christmas Vacation rolls around, I won’t have to worry about anything.

I will finally be able to focus on having a great senior year.

There is plenty of time to discover what career is right for me. For now, I am content just being a dedicated student, and more importantly, a happy kid.

Creative Expressions Masks The Gallery

Featuring Poetry And Photos Submitted

By Our Readers!

By: Sarah Bosworth, West Babylon

Hey there little girl, Why are you crying On a “sunny” day?

Where’s the mask that Should be covering your face?

Hey there little girl, Come sit with me, And I will explain why You must keep the darkness inside.

Allow your heart to be Swallowed whole By the troubles you Feel that are your own.

Your mask Of “happiness” Will fool Everyone around you, And give back what You accidently took From them.

The people dance and sing With their “glee,” And masks in place, While you walk with the people, Revealing what must be Hidden from judging eyes.

Look around you, And see the smiling faces All around you and me.

They too, Have despise and troubles, Just like you, But they still manage to Keep their masks on.

“Let’s Go Fly A Kite” Photo by: Melissa Armenia, North Babylon

Hey there little girl, Your sadness is strong But it won’t last forever.

The fear and pain Will become numb someday.

Allowing you to put a Plaster smile on your face.

Then everything will Be almost normal again.

And that is why, Little girl, You must wear your mask Every minute of every day.

Naturally Lowering Cholesterol (NAPSI)—If living a healthier life is your cup of tea, you may be interested in an easy way to improve your health—using the natural antioxidant powers of tea.

Almost half of all Americans are overweight and have dangerously high levels of cholesterol.

Heart attacks are still the No. 1 killer in the U.S. The problem is that high cholesterol and your risk

may be greater than you think.

According to American Heart Association guidelines, the acceptable level of “bad cholesterol” is 30 percent lower than it used to be only a few years ago. This means that millions of Americans, including those who never dreamed they were at risk, now are.

Fortunately, there are natural, nonprescription

alternatives for lowering cholesterol. For example, heart-healthy products such as TeaFlavin, an all-natural, caffeine-free capsule made from tea extract, contain as much cholesterol-fighting power as 35 cups of green tea.

For more information on TeaFlavin, visit www. teaflavin.com or call (800) 876-4332.

In the true holiday spirit, readers, employees and editors of Full Throttle Magazine gathered hundreds of toys and gifts that were then donated to Stony Brook Children’s Hospital on Sunday, December 8th.

Roaring down Nicolls Road in the cold weather, over 50 Long Island motorcycle riders led by

WBAB’s ‘Fingers’ and escorted by numerous local fire department engines embarked on a 15-mile mission Sunday morning to deliver hundreds of toys to the young patients who anxiously awaited their arrival.

Lee and Greg Sheridan, owners of Full Throttle Magazine, have organized this event for the past four

years in efforts to make the children’s stay in the hospital a little easier. Gifts and toys were collected during the publications Winter Wonderland event on December 4th, which was hosted at 89 North in Patchogue. This year they were joined by the Sons of Italia Motorcycle Club and several local Fire Departments.

Falls account for more than one million injuries in the U.S. annually. There are four types of walking accidents with the most common being the slip and fall. That’s the type of fall that happens when you fall due a surface not cleared of snow or ice.

“Every winter the hazards of driving in snow and icy conditions are noted, but rarely is walking on snow and ice addressed,” said Martin B. Tirado, CAE,

Executive Director of the Snow & Ice Management Association.

“Slipping and falling while walking accounts for a large number of winter-related injuries and can have an impact on the quality of life for the injured person.”

SIMA, the national nonprofit organization representing the snow removal industry, has some tips on safe winter walking.

TIP #1: Wear proper footwear. Proper footwear

11

Winter Walking Tips should place the entire foot on the surface of the ground and have visible treads. Avoid a smooth sole and opt for a heavy treaded shoe with a flat bottom.

TIP #2: Accessorize to see and be seen. Wear sunglasses so that you can see in the reflective light of the snow. Also, wear a bright coat or scarf so that drivers can easily see you.

TIP #3: Plan ahead. While walking on snow or ice on sidewalks or in parking

lots, walk consciously.

Instead of looking down, look up and see where your feet will move next to anticipate ice or an uneven surface. Occasionally scan from left to right to ensure you are not in the way of vehicles or other hazards.

TIP #4: Make sure you can hear. While seeing the environment is important, you also want to be sure you can hear approaching traffic and other noises.

Avoid listening to music or engaging in conversation that may prevent you from hearing oncoming traffic or snow removal equipment.

TIP #5: Anticipate ice.

Be weary of thin sheets of ice that may appear as wet pavement (black ice).

Often ice will appear in the morning, in shady spots or where the sun shines during the day and melted snow refreezes at night.

TIP #6: Walk steps slowly. When walking down steps, be sure to grip handrails firmly and plant your feet securely on each step.

TIP #7: Enter a building carefully. When you get to your destination such as school, work, shopping center, etc., be sure to look at the floor as you enter the building. The floor may be wet with melted snow and ice.

TIP #8: Be careful when you shift your weight.

When stepping off a curb or getting into a car, be careful since shifting your weight may cause an imbalance and result in a fall.

TIP #9: Avoid taking shortcuts. Shortcuts are a good idea if you are in a hurry, but may be a bad idea if there is snow and ice on the ground. A shortcut path may be treacherous because it is likely to be located where snow and ice removal is not possible.

TIP #10: Look up. Be careful about what you walk under. Injuries also can result from falling snow/ice as it blows, melts, or breaks away from awnings, buildings, etc.

Following these tips will help ensure that you survive the snow and ice season safely. For more snow and ice removal tips, visit SIMA.

The Levittown School District is pleased to announce that Division Avenue High School senior Brianna DeMilia has signed a National Letter of Intent to continue playing lacrosse on the college level at Grand Valley State University in Allendale, Mich.

Brianna has been a three-year starter at goalie for the Blue Dragons and earned Nassau County’s Unsung Hero award as a sophomore and junior athlete. For the past two years, Brianna has been essential to the success of the team, with a record of 168 saves for 16 games (52

percent) as a junior team member.

Varsity coach Sean Donellan said Brianna’s competitive spirit cannot be taught. “That characteristic will prepare Brianna to be successful in college,” he said. “She will be difficult to replace.”

Money Management 101 (NAPSI)—Teens are more optimistic about their financial future but may depend longer on their parents, according to a major new survey. Teens also expressed concern over paying for higher education.

Among the Teens and Personal Finance Survey’s key findings, conducted

by Junior Achievement USA® and The Allstate Foundation: • More than half of teens think students are borrowing too much to pay for college, yet only 9 percent report they are currently saving money for college.

• Nearly 30 percent have not talked with their parents about paying for college.

• Nearly one in three teens thinks he or she will be 25 to 27 years old before becoming financially independent.

• Teens are unsure about

their ability to budget (23 percent), use credit cards (20 percent) or invest money (34 percent).

• The majority of teens (76 percent) still report the best time to learn about money management is in kindergarten through high school, but only 29 percent reported programs currently in place.

• Of the 33 percent of teens who say they do not use a budget, 42 percent are “not interested” and more than a quarter (26 percent) think “budgets are for adults.”

• More than one-third of teens are either unsure or think their parents do not talk with them enough about money and budgeting.

“From our findings, we can infer that teens expect to live with their parents longer. It is interesting to see this shift in teens thinking they will remain financially dependent

Cardiology Center Support

on their parents,” said Jack E. Kosakowski, president and chief executive officer of Junior Achievement USA. Since 2005, the organization, in partnership with The Allstate Foundation, has helped more than 1.2 million students set personal goals about money and make wise financial choices.

The program, JA Economics for Success®, also empowers students to develop, plan and set goals to help protect themselves from unexpected financial pitfalls.

According to Don Civgin, president and chief executive officer of Allstate Financial, there is an urgent need for parents and children to broach the subject. “Parents continue to be the No. 1 influence on teens when it comes to money,” he said, “so there is tremendous opportunity for family conversation.”

The Guilds of Good Samaritan Hospital Medical Center recently presented $90,000 to The Good Samaritan Hospital Foundation to support the hospital’s cardiology services. This gift brought the Guilds’ 2013 donations to a total of $250,000 for various programs, including pediatrics, cancer, intensive care services and the Emergency Department.

Made up of volunteers from surrounding communities, the Guilds have helped sustain the hospital for

more than 50 years.

Good Samaritan Hospital’s cardiovascular services include superior, comprehensive care.

Good Samaritan was one of the first community hospitals in Suffolk County to perform primary angioplasty to swiftly open blocked arteries during a heart attack and was the first in the county to offer the combination of primary elective angioplasty and a cardiac rehabilitation program.

Patients across Long Island turn to Good

Samaritan for a variety of cardiology services such as angioplasty, temporary pacemaker insertion, electrophysiology studies, stress testing, EKG testing and more. In addition, Good Samaritan has been recognized with the Get With The Guidelines® – Heart Failure Gold Quality Achievement Award from the American Heart Association for the third consecutive year.

For more information on cardiology services at Good Samaritan, call 631.376.4444.

Prevent DVT DVT occurs when a blood clot forms in a deep vein, usually in the lower limbs. It affects up

to two million Americans annually. If the clot breaks loose, it can travel to the lungs, causing a

pulmonary embolism.

Don’t Text And Drive If a teen is caught up in a dramatic or tense texting conversation, it could be too enticing to focus on the phone instead of the road.

The Stats The U.S. government’s official website on distracted driving, www. distraction.gov, cites multiple statistics on the dangers of this careless behavior: • Using a mobile phone while driving, whether it’s handheld or hands-free, delays a driver’s reactions as much as having a blood alcohol concentration at the legal limit of .08 percent.

• Driving while using a mobile phone reduces the amount of brain activity associated with driving by 37 percent.

• Drivers who use handheld devices are four times as likely to get into crashes serious enough to injure themselves as those who don’t.

• An estimated 11 percent of drivers are talking on cell phones while driving at any point during the day.

The Steps

1. Impress upon teens the need to not text or talk on the phone while driving by not doing so yourself. Beyond providing an example of responsible behavior, this creates a safer driving environment.

2. Explain to your teens the seriousness of the situation and let them know that it is important to have a plan in order to avoid temptation.

For example, have them always keep their cell phone off while driving or in the backseat out of reach to avoid distraction completely.

3. Learn more from the experts in mobile technology at LG by visiting the company’s LG Text Ed website, www. lgtexted.com. As part of its Text Education campaign, LG offers insights and solutions on how to avoid possibly harmful behaviors such as distracted driving. In order to keep distractions to a minimum, LG encourages all drivers to never text while driving and to always use a handsfree Bluetooth device when operating a vehicle.

Helping Your Pets Take A Bite Out Of Poor Health

(NAPSI)—Dog owners who think a dog’s mouth is cleaner than a human’s are barking up the wrong tree—and they are not alone.

In fact, according to a recent survey, many pet owners have beliefs about their pet’s health that are not accurate or grounded in science.

For example, the study— commissioned by the Greenies brand, the maker of dental chews and treats for pets-found that almost half of pet owners believe that dogs’ mouths are cleaner than humans’ and that any type of chewing is good for a dog’s teeth.

It also found that about 40 percent thought it was normal for their pets to have stinky breath. About one-third of pet owners believed that a dog’s saliva was capable of curing human wounds.

“There is a lot of misinformation out there regarding a pet’s oral health,” said veterinary dental expert Dr. Jan

Bellows, incoming president of the American Veterinary Dental College.

“Dogs’ mouths are certainly not cleaner than a human’s. Dogs often carry a variety of germs and bacteria in their mouths that stem from buildup of plaque and tartar that can potentially make humans sick through contact with saliva.”

The Right Kind of Chewing “Many pet owners also believe that any type of chewing is good for their dogs, but tooth fractures are a common occurrence in pets because teeth can only withstand a certain amount of pressure from hard objects before they break. When pets chew on inflexible items, such as bones, ice cubes or nylon toys, it can put them at risk for breaking a tooth.

And while smelly breath in pets is common, pet owners who believe this is normal may be missing the signs of poor oral health or potential dental disease,”

Dr. Bellows said.

A Healthy Mouth Is Key A healthy mouth is essential to the overall well-being of pets, but misguided information about pet oral health can affect more than just your pet’s mouth. For proper pet oral health, veterinarians advise daily brushing or giving of Veterinary Oral Health Council (VOHC)?approved dental treats, and at least annual oral exams by a veterinarian with professional cleanings as recommended.

“Pet owners who are knowledgeable about their furry companions’ oral health will avoid the pitfalls of commonly held myths and enable the best care for everyone’s wellbeing,” said Dr. Bellows.

To learn more about commonly accepted pet oral health myths and how to keep your pets’ mouths healthy, visit www.
