The Stony Brook University School of Journalism received a $50,000 gift from Elaine Crosson and her son Daniel, to establish The Matthew T. Crosson Memorial Scholarship In Journalism which will endow a scholarship to support young journalists who wish to carry on the pursuit of public affairs journalism and advance public discourse for which the late Matt Crosson was so well known. A portion of the funding comes from donations from family and friends, and the full $50,000 will be matched by a special grant to Stony Brook University by Jim and Marilyn Simons and the Simons Foundation, resulting in an impact of $100,000. The endowment will continue to be funded with additional donations from the community. Matt Crosson, the

beloved and highly-touted former President of the Long Island Association, a title he held for 16 years, died unexpectedly on December 23rd, 2010 from complications following a stroke. He resigned from the LIA earlier that year and accepted a job as the Chief Executive Officer of the Las Vegas Chamber of Commerce. Following his death, Elaine and Dan, who is now 14, moved back to their home on Long Island after Elaine accepted a position at Stony Brook University as Vice President for External Relations. “It has been two years since Matt passed away and Daniel and I still miss him so much, as does the rest of his family, and so many others who knew and loved him,” said Elaine Crosson, JD, Crosson’s wife of 17 years. “Dan and I wanted to

make this gift now to commemorate Matt’s legacy as a great advocate for public dialogue, and to provide others an opportunity to honor his memory. “Matt was an attorney not a journalist by trade, yet his appreciation for the written word and his belief in responsible journalism was fierce, so in addition to his primary

role of advancing economic development for Long Island, it was his personal mission to bring to fore the most pressing current affairs issues facing this community and all of New York by engaging some of the most relevant public figures and luminaries in our country in a personal Continued on Page 3

One recipient per year beginning in the Fall 2013 academic year will be chosen by a selected committee appointed by School of Journalism School Dean, Howard Schneider. “This scholarship will be invaluable in supporting students, year-after-year, whose passion will be to pursue reporting in the public interest,” said Schneider. “I can think of nothing more important.” “This is not only a wonderful development for our program but wholly appropriate that it should be in Matt Crosson’s name,” said Klurfeld. “Whether he was a prosecutor, running the New York State Court

system, heading the LIA or hosting a regular public affairs television show, Matt's goal was always to find the truth. That, of course, is also the goal of journalism.”

Crosson Memorial Scholarship endowment is meant to foster that mission, to keep the vision alive by supporting journalists in training at Stony Brook who will carry on the pursuit of public discourse that Matt so cherished.” The Crosson scholarship will be available to a qualifying full-time junior or senior enrolled in the School of Journalism at Stony Brook University, where Jim Klurfeld, Crosson’s friend and longtime cohost of the public affairs program “Cutting Edge,” is a professor.

Recognized For Safety

Following the ranking of Mercy Medical Center in the top 20% of hospitals in the entire state by U.S. News & World Report with a “superior” rating in patient safety - Mercy has earned high marks again. It has been ranked in the top tier for all of New York. Mercy was among 157 “Empire State” hospitals graded by The Leapfrog Group, receiving the highest grade in southwest Nassau County as measured by the Hospital Safety ScoreSM. “This latest recognition underscores the high level of safety and quality provided at Mercy,” said Mercy’s Executive Vice President and Chief Administrative Officer Aaron E. Glatt, MD. “Our staff tirelessly deliver superior patient care.” Mercy scored among the best performing hospitals in three measures and better than average in

eight, and ranked higher for patient safety than all other hospitals in southwest Nassau County and the majority of New York State hospitals graded by The Leapfrog Group. The 375-bed facility is one of six Catholic Health Services (CHS) hospitals serving Nassau and Suffolk counties. Like all CHS member hospitals, Mercy participates in the New York State Partnership for Patients, a quality improvement and patient safety initiative launched by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. Mercy also has been awarded the Pathway to Excellence® designation by the American Nurses Credentialing Center, along with designation from the American College of Radiology as a Breast Imaging Center of Excellence and Bariatric

Surgery Center of Excellence® designation from the American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery. In addition, Mercy has earned two consecutive American Heart Association/American Stroke Association Get With The Guidelines® Stroke Gold Plus Performance Achievement Awards. “With the hospital beginning our centennial celebration, we continue to keep the health and well-being of patients foremost,” stated Dr. Glatt. “Since 1913, Mercy has been delivering the high level of care needed by our community.” For more information on Mercy’s many programs and services, please call 516.62.MERCY or go online to: www.MercyMedicalCenter. info.

Earlier this year, Nassau County Executive Edward P. Mangano announced that the County had, once again, partnered with Y.H. Park’s Taekwondo Academy for the 7th Annual New York Open T a e k w o n d o Championship/Korean Cultural Festival on Saturday, October 20th at the Athletic Center at Chaminade High School. The County Executive declared the day of the C h a m p i o n s h i p

“Taekwondo Day.” To show their appreciation, Y.H. Park donated the $3,500 raised from admission fees collected at the Festival to North Shore Child & Family Guidance Center. Andrew Malekoff, Executive Director and CEO was on hand to accept the check on behalf of North Shore. The funds will support “a community-based agency that has been a vital part of the fabric of life on Long Island for

more than a half century, offering services that are child-centered, familyfocused and needsdriven.” Currently an East Meadow resident, Y.H. Park is a former United States Olympic Coach and was the undefeated Korean national Taekwondo champion from 1971-1975. He has also authored seven books about the martial art.

Golden Holiday

Smiles lit up the conference room of the Stony Brook Medicine Department of Radiation Oncology almost as much as its decorated “winter wonderland” theme when the doctors, nurses and staff surprised Maria Golden, 45, a wheelchairbound cerebral palsy patient, with a Christmas party to celebrate the season and her recent completion of radiation treatment. Golden grew up in foster homes and now lives in a group home in

Ridge. Inspired by Golden’s personal triumphs living with limited mobility and other disabilities, the staff decided to surprise her with a luncheon party and lots of gifts. Among them fleece blankets, warm socks, make up, stuffed animals, pajamas, and DVDs. Around the holiday season, the Department of Radiation Oncology holds a party that is sometimes a tribute to a patient. As a contribution, the staff donates gifts to that

patient and pitches in to decorate the party room with some of the patient’s favorite holiday themes.

Senator Charles J. Fuschillo, Jr. recently visited Birch Elementary School in Merrick to thank students and staff for once again participating in his Extend The Holidays Toy Drive. Extend The Holidays is an annual toy drive that Senator Fuschillo

organizes for the benefit of children in Winthrop Hospital’s Pediatric Center. The new, unwrapped toys collected by Birch Elementary School will be delivered to the hospital after New Year’s Day so that children can experience the joys of receiving a new toy after the holiday season and

throughout the year. “I thank Birch’s students and staff for participating in this program and doing a wonderful job once again. Their hard work and generosity will bring smiles to the faces of many children in Winthrop Hospital,” said Senator Fuschillo.

Teachers Federal Credit Union, one of the country’s largest credit unions, in the spirit of the season, teamed up with Long Island Aquarium to sponsor a Turkey Drive at TFCU’s Headquarters, in Hauppauge.

They were also joined by Santa and Linda Walsh, director of therapeutic recreation, who assisted one of the pediatric patients in the holiday lighting and who distributed numerous toys to the patients on the various pediatric floors.

assistance during the holiday season. “Our members and friends generously supported the turkey drive co-sponsored with the Long Island Aquarium. It was gratifying to see so many big-hearted people willing to go out of their way to bring frozen turkeys to our headquarters. Long Island Cares was appreciative and thankful for the turkeys, canned food and other items, and we’re sure that all the families who will enjoy the turkeys over the holiday will be equally grateful. The food donations will surely go a long way toward making

this holiday season much brighter for the neediest within our community,” said Robert G. Allen, CEO/President TFCU. The Long Island Aquarium brought its shark truck to the site. Lots of cameras captured photos of adults and kids smiling and enjoying the experience of the shark cage. In addition, donors, who were eligible to enter a special TFCU raffle, won exciting prizes.

(NAPSI)—Medicare and Social Security are the foundation of retirement security for millions of American workers. But these vital programs face challenges in the coming years, and the next president and Congress could make decisions about them that might affect you. Why are these programs so important? The typical retiree on Medicare and Social Security has an income of only $20,000 and must devote nearly 20 percent of that for out-of-pocket health care costs that Medicare doesn’t cover. Social Security is currently the principal source of income for nearly two-thirds of older American households, and Medicare provides health coverage for nearly all seniors. Many who are not yet retired are struggling with lost pensions and

savings, lower home values and higher health care costs. They may not be thinking about Medicare and Social Security today, but it is likely the guaranteed benefits of these programs will be critical to their health and retirement security. Yet for the last year, politicians in Washington have been meeting behind closed doors to discuss changes to Medicare and Social Security, without the input of people who could be affected by their decisions. AARP recently launched You’ve Earned a Say, a national conversation to ensure that Americans’ voices are heard in the discussion through questionnaires, c o m m u n i t y conversations, town hall meetings, online forums and other events.

You’ve Earned a Say will provide information about the major proposals that Washington has put on the table, both the pros and cons, without all the political jargon and spin. Americans deserve to have the facts, so they can tell politicians what they think should be done to strengthen these programs. Making sure your voice is heard in Washington may be the best way to protect Medicare and Social Security for generations to come. Most Americans pay into these programs throughout their working lives and have earned the right to be heard. To make your voice heard and learn more about You’ve Earned a Say, go to www.earnedasay.org. Or you can call (888) OURAARP

Career Education Assistance For A Competitive Job Market technical school. “Higher education provides a tremendous advantage toward success,” says Paul Pevsner, M.D., President of the Alliance for Affordable Services, “but the cost of postsecondary education continues to increase. That is why it is important for Alliance to offer members assistance in achieving their educational goals, regardless of the type of school they choose to attend.” The grant program is a welcome complement to the already successful Alliance Scholarship Program. Over $1.9 million in scholarship awards has helped more than 1,200 high school graduates and college students pursue undergraduate degrees since the scholarship

program’s inception in 1996. The Alliance is dedicated to helping its members live better and save more. It leverages its strength in numbers to provide access to valuable benefits and services to meet the personal, professional and health care needs of over 75,000 members nationwide. Benefit availability is dependent on the package option chosen and the member’s place of residence and may be subject to change. For more information or to join, visit www.AffordableServices.org or call (800) 733-2242. The annual grant application deadline is June 30.

A group of Stony Brook University athletes set out to bring joy to pediatric patients being treated at the Stony Brook University Cancer Center. So they took on a holiday season mission to “stuff” an Athletics bus with toys of all kinds and deliver the donated items directly to the kids. A few days before Christmas they delivered more than 100 toys and gifts, such as dolls, board games, lego kits, coloring sets, footballs, and a box full of lacrosse sticks. The pediatric patients, along with their siblings, beamed with delight when the unexpected delivery came. The moment was a welcome break from studies and training for

the students, as they took in the joy of the children when placing the gifts under the Christmas tree in the playroom. “For these kids to be able to pick a toy or two while in the midst of treatment is extra special for them and gets their mind off of treatments and having to be at the outpatient center around the holidays,” said Robert I. Parker, MD, Director of the Division of Pediatric Hematology/Oncology at Stony Brook Long Island Children’s Hospital. Stony Brook Child Life specialist Lauren Sharaby said that the many toys will be distributed first within pediatric outpatient clinic at the

Cancer Center and then as needed for patients at Stony Brook Long Island Children’s Hospital. Chris Murray, Manager of Athletic Marketing at Stony Brook University, said that the athletes rallied to organize the holiday season toy drive. They collected donations from Athletics and many other University departments. They also received donations from fans who attended Stony Brook basketball games throughout the month of December. The group of athletes able to make the bus delivery represented a number of Stony Brook sports, including lacrosse, soccer, swimming and diving.

(NAPSI)—Even with the U.S. unemployment rate high, technicians and skilled trade workers top the list of the hardest jobs to fill, according to a Manpower Group talent shortage survey. This gap in today’s competitive job market can be a great opportunity for those who are considering attending a trade or technical school over a traditional college or university. Specifically targeting this high-skilled worker need, one organization has introduced a Career Education Grant Program to provide a one-time $1,000 grant to members and their eligible dependents toward enrollment and attendance at an accredited trade or

Bringing Holiday Cheer

Flanagan. The first was a letter to President Obama, which he asked Sen. Flanagan to deliver on his behalf. It reads, “Dear President Obama, 1 Day I want to have tea with you and I want [to] visit you.” The second document was Anthony’s proposed “Toy Law,” which conveniently included a signature line for the President to sign the proposed legislation into law. It states” Any Kids would be able to walk down to Toy-r-us & Get Free toys but need to have a toy license [sic].” Sen. Flanagan promised to put both documents in the mail to President Obama on Anthony’s behalf. Later, Anthony reflected on the visit. “It was an honor,” he said. Sen. Flanagan’s law firm conducts an annual toy drive to benefit Long Island hospitals, and Stony Brook Children’s was selected as this year’s beneficiary. In addition to Sen. Flanagan, participants in the drive included Kathleen Deegan Dickson, Esq., partner with Forchelli, Curto, Deegan,

Schwartz, Mineo & Terrana, as well as Virginia Kawochka, Administrator of the firm. On hand to greet the holiday visitors were Stony Brook University President Samuel L. Stanley Jr.; Kenneth Kaushansky MD, MACP: Senior Vice President, Health Sciences, and Dean, Stony Brook University School of Medicine; L. Reuven Pasternak, MD, Vice President for Health Systems, Stony Brook Medicine, and Chief Executive Officer, Stony Brook University Hospital; Margaret M. McGovern, MD, PhD, Physician-inChief, Stony Brook Long Island Children’s Hospital; and Debra Grimm MS, RN, Associate Director of Nursing and Administrator for Stony Brook Children’s. Child Life Specialists and staff of Stony Brook Children’s helped coordinate the visit, along with the Community Relations Department of Stony Brook University and Stony Brook University Hospital.

Winter Commencement

Nearly 2,200 students received a degree and became Stony Brook University’s newest alumni at the 15th Annual Winter Commencement ceremony held today in the Pritchard Gymnasium located in the Intercollegiate Athletic Sports Complex. They join more than 150,000 predecessors world-wide whose lives and work personify the Stony Brook University mission. Due to the ongoing renovation of the Sports Arena, this year’s commencement was held as two events; one for students from the College of Arts and Sciences and another for all other students. Degrees were conferred upon graduates who completed their degree requirements during any one of the following semesters: Summer 2012; Fall 2012; and, Winter 2013. In total, 2,197 students received degrees, including 1,053 Bachelor degrees, 776 Masters degrees, 217 Doctoral degrees and 151 Certificate recipients. “You are graduating at an extraordinary time for our country and the world,” Stony Brook University President Samuel L. Stanley Jr., MD, told the graduates. “We face tremendous

challenges, but also tremendous opportunities; and I am convinced more and more every day that you and Stony Brook University are absolutely at the right place and the right time to make a positive difference in these difficult times.” President Stanley highlighted five personal stories of adversity and achievement at the ceremonies. He recognized Amy Pope (Psychology), 23, a resident of Long Beach, NY, who lost her home, car and all her possessions in Superstorm Sandy; Michael Tonge (Political Science), 23, of Harlem, NY, who endured the adversity of attending 12 different public schools in 12 years and went on to become the first of his seven siblings to graduate from college; Terence Coyle (Masters in Social Work), 54, from Huntington, a retired FDNY member suffering from the effects of spinal injuries and multiple surgeries, who went back to school to attain the skills and training necessary to begin a second career with the goal of helping people and striving for positive social change; Kyle Essington (Business Management), 22, of Chino Hills, CA, who was the starting quarterback for the football team this year

(2012) and most of the 2011 season. Kyle’s story is one of hard work and making the most of opportunities, leading the Seawolves to consecutive Big South titles (fourth straight overall) and two appearances in the Division I Football Championship playoffs, successfully balancing academics and athletics to earn accolades in both; and also recognized Poornima Peiris (Engineering), 23, of Cutchogue, NY, a student that emigrated from Sri Lanka with her family when she was just 12 years old. Growing up on the east end, she found herself immersed in a whole new culture. Today, she is the first person in her extended family to receive a college degree. “Stony Brook graduates are among the most successful of any public university in finding employment after graduation or continuing to graduate school,” said President Stanley. “I pledge that we will work to improve your prospects even more by increasing the value of your degree as we move toward our goal of being one of the 25 best public universities in the world.”

Children hospitalized at Stony Brook Long Island Children’s Hospital were the beneficiaries of a holiday visit from Senator John Flanagan and members of the law firm Forchelli, Curto, Deegan, Schwartz, Mineo & Terrana, LLP, of Uniondale, NY, where Sen. Flanagan is of counsel, during a visit to Stony Brook Children’s on December 20th. Perhaps the biggest hit with the kids was a surprise visit by “Wolfie,” the Stony Brook University mascot. But nine-year-old Anthony Hinds-Adams of Amityville stole the show. A 4th grader at Park Avenue Memorial Elementary School, Anthony is the son of Michelle Hinds of Amityville. He aspires to become President of the United States, so he said he wanted to meet the Senator, pointing out that President Obama also was once a (U.S.) Senator. Anthony, who has sickle cell anemia, requiring monthly hospitalizations, presented two handwritten documents to Sen.
