New Year’s Ball Celebration

mithtown Elementary School faculty, staff and students kicked off the New Year with their very own New Year’s Ball.

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 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.

St. James resident Dan Turturro and Stony Brook resident Byron Lane recently attempted to run 125 miles on treadmills at Energy Fitness in St. James to raise money for Friends of Karen, a tri-state nonprofit organization that helps children and their families cope with cancer and other life-threatening illnesses to help keep them stable, functioning and able to cope. They beat the 125 mile goal and ran for 127.55 miles. Lane completed 70.55 miles and Turturro completed 57 miles to reach the 127.55 miles in their 12 hours of running. The gentlemen also raised more than $1,200 for the charity. While most people even seasoned marathoners - could not conceive of running for more than one hour on a “dreadmill,” the pair met

the challenge. “Think of the way your life is going right now.” Lane offers. “Pretend that tomorrow, you found out that your 5 or 10 or 15 year old child was diagnosed with some terrible life-threatening disease. Your life would change drastically and forever. Friends of Karen picks up the slack so that families in this situation don’t have to worry about the Rat Race - all of the little things that can drain precious time and energy - so they can focus solely on their child and their family. Running on treadmills symbolizes their race to try to get everything done all at once. During our fundraiser, we focused on running around for these families, just like Friends of Karen does for their families.” Lane, one of the most decorated ultrarunners in the country, started his running career 37

years ago. Sponsored by The Runners’ Edge (Farmingdale) and Hammer Nutrition, he has won 47 ultramarathon races of 50 km or longer, is a three-time Age Group National Champion, and, in 2008, was the National Champion in the 24-hour run. Turturro started running longer than marathon distances this past year, having done a 31-miler and a 50-miler, and regularly runs five times per week. This was Dan’s longest run ever. The two men met at Energy Interactive Fitness last year and Byron has served as a very encouraging mentor to Dan. The two brainstormed a fundraising idea to bring some attention to a deserving charity and were directed to Friends of Karen by Energy Fitness manager Michael Fox. “We are pleased to be

able to help support this important organization,” said 55 year-old Turturro. “No one is prepared for a life-threatening illness to strike their child,” added Lane. “People going through this type of family crisis have enough to worry about. Friends of Karen provides the support that lets parents focus on what’s most important: their child.” Friends of Karen provides emotional, financial and advocacy support for children with life-threatening illnesses and their families in order to keep them stable, functioning and able to cope. Since 1978, Friends of Karen has helped more than 11,800 children in the New York tri-state region. To more information on Friends of Karen, please visit: www.friendsofkaren. org.

Stony Brook University mentors have guided 34 high school students into the semifinals of the 2013 Intel Science Talent Search Competition, one of the two national competitions in which budding high school researchers conduct and present their research to nationally recognized professional scientists. 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;

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 :)

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-

“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

National Wear Red Day

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.

Packing Goods

Many people donate money to charities but few give their time and effort. 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. With the LI Cares project, not only did we provide hands-on assistance for a great organization, but we enjoyed the opportunity to work with each other in a different context,” says

Jennifer. Everyone was given an assignment and worked together in small groups under the supervision of Alisha Summer, LI Cares volunteer coordinator. 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 it and how to log it in. 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.”

Spiritual Care Companions Catholic Health Services (CHS) of Long Island, one of the region’s largest integrated healthcare systems, is sponsoring a training program for volunteers who are interested in becoming a CHS Spiritual Care Companion. This free program will offer individuals the required skills necessary for caring and listening to people who are sick or elderly. The training classes will cover such topics as: goals of

ministry to the sick, how to be a good listener, how to respond to crisis and grief and more. Learn more about sharing your gift of time and presence as a CHS Spiritual Care Companion and help those who are hospitalized, living in a nursing home, or homebound. Those interested may attend an informational session on Saturday, February 9th, from 9:30 to 11:30 a.m. at Catholic Health Services

of Long Island, 245 Old Country Road, Melville, NY. There will be three training sessions which will be held on March 9th, March 23rd and April 6th from 9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Light refreshments will be served. For further information or to register, please call Carol Cella at 631.465.6307, Trish Luvin at 631.465.6306 or JoAndrew at 631.465.6308.

Leadership Award

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.

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 cardiovascular services such as angioplasty, cardiac arrhythmia management device insertion, electrophysiology studies, stress testing, EKG testing and more.

A sense of hope rang through the halls and excitement for the many things that can be accomplished in the year ahead Newton Connecticut was celebrated! The children participated in an interactive assembly and were treated experienced a horrific to cafeteria tables decorated to honor the day. tragedy that effected many people all around the country. The students of Nesaquake Middle School wanted to show their support for the Newton community. Cindy M e n n e l l a - S i n g l e t o n ’s cousin, Caitlin O’KeefeBoles, resident of Newton and teacher in a nearby school, decided to create a special gift for each family

affected by the tragedy; the gift: 1,000 origami cranes. An ancient Japanese legend states that cranes represent eternal good luck, and is granted one wish for a long life or recovery from an illness or injury. Just days after the tragic event, faculty members and students of Nesaquake began the task of folding as many origami cranes as they could. Currently, Nesaquake

has made over 500 cranes so far. Once their goal of 1,000 cranes is met, they will be delivered to Connecticut so Caitlin can begin the task of stringing them all together. Once all 26,000 thousand cranes are made, each family will receive a string of 1,000 cranes. The family here at Nesaquake couldn’t be happier to help those who had their lives change that day!

Figueiredo, Coordinator of the Smithtown West Research Program, “Kavita is a brilliant and incredibly hard-working student who brings excellence to all she does.” Prady Manepalli has worked in the Department of Biomedical Engineering with Dr. Balaji Sitharaman for the last two years. He has been exploring the potential of graphene as a chemotherapeutic agent. His study entitled “An Effective Application of Graphene Oxide Nanoribbons as a Chemotherapuetic Drug Delivery System” yielded exciting results that indicate that this revolutionary compound may be taken into cells by a mechanism similar to that used to internalize virus particles. This is important because it may be provide a specific mechanism for delivering drugs to certain types of cancer cells including cervical cancer cells which are caused by various viruses. According to Dr. Figueiredo, “Science research has allowed Prady to discover his true passion. He has found a way to combine his interest in medicine with his love for discovery.” Nicholas Spiezio’s project titled, “Cellular Delivery of Gene-Silencing Products,” was mentored by Dr. Peter Brink in the Department of Physiology and Biophysics. A goal of this research is to utilize delivery cells for transfer of gene-silencing products to target cells. This research aims to increase the efficiency of future cell-reliant therapies. According to Ms. Zeitlin, Coordinator of the Smithtown West Research Program, “Nick has a wonderful maturity in the lab and has found his niche in biomedical science.

NEW YEAR’S CELEBRATION - Accompsett Elementary School held their annual New Year’s Ball celebration during all school lunches. All students and staff were asked to dress up and bring in the New Year in style. A special lunch was available to all students for the day.

The Science Research Programs in Smithtown School District are proud to announce that four students have been named as Semi-Finalists in this year’s Science Talent Search. According to the Society for Science and the Public, “The Intel Science Talent Search (Intel STS) is America’s most prestigious national science research competition for high school seniors.” From over 1700 applicants, 300 were selected as semi-finalists which will be further narrowed to 40 finalists on January 23rd. At Smithtown High School East two students, Nicholas Spiezio and Michael Zhang, received the honor through the research program coordinated by Ms. Maria Zeitlin. Smithtown West had two students, Prady Manepalli and Kavita Jain, received the honor through the research program coordinated by Dr. Joanne Figueiredo. All four students conducted their research in labs at Stony Brook University and the Stony Brook University Medical Center. Kavita Jain has been working in the Department of Anatomical Sciences with Dr. Alan Turner and Dr. Paul Gignac. She has been studying one of the most important traits in vertebrates – feeding behavior. The group of organisms that she is focused on are known as Archosaurs and include birds, crocodiles and alligators. In her study entitled “Demonstrating Relationships between the Morphology of the Trigeminal System and Feeding Performance in the American Alligator: A New Tool for Understanding Feeding Evolution” she presents a way for scientists to evaluate the bite force of a long dead organism from clues left in its fossilized skull. According to Dr.

Nick, an enthusiastic varsity soccer player, also brings a wonderful sense of teamwork to the program.” Michael Zhang’s project titled, “RoleInduced Perspective Visual Behavior during Scene Free-Viewing,” was mentored by Dr. Gregory Zalinsky in the Departments of Cognitive Science and Computer Science. His research investigated whether eye movements can be tracked and differentiated depending on the role a person has in life. Ultimately the application for his research could be tied to eye tracking software to detect potential security issues. According to Ms. Zeitlin, “His work required extensive computer analysis of highly specific eye movements and utilized software and hardware at Stony Brook University’s Psychology Department. He has a natural ease with sophisticated computation, and a true talent with synthesis of data.” Congratulations to all four students for their excellence in science!

Leadership Project

An Eagle Court of Honor celebrating the achievement of Robert Cella, Boy Scout Troop 125’s 90th Eagle Scout, was held on January 5th, at the Commack United Methodist Church. For his Eagle Leadership Service Project, Robert built a 160 ft fence around a sensory garden at the Sweetbriar Nature Center in Smithtown. Additionally, he laid down landscaping fabric and mulch to protect the garden from weeds and help to reduce future maintenance. A total of 270 hours were logged into the project from the planning stage through its completion by Robert, 11 additional scouts and 14 adults. Robert began scouting in the first grade as a Tiger Scout with Cub Scout Packs 371, 293 and 125 where he went on to earn the Arrow of Light, the only badge earned as a Cub Scout that can be worn on a Boy Scout uniform. He

joined Boy Scout Troop 125 in 2005 where he held several leadership positions including patrol leader, assistant patrol leader, scribe and historian. Robert enjoyed “the meetings, the adventurous campouts and the life experiences that just would never have happened had I not been a scout.” He continued, “I have been to plenty of events throughout my years in scouting, watching others grow and change, not really believing that I was changing as well.” Robert earned a total of 28 merit badges, 7 more than needed to reach this scouting rank. He has hiked many trails and seen many cities with the Troop including the Nathan Hale Trail and Greenbelt Trail; Harriman, West Point, Gettysburg, Norwich, Boston and Washington, D.C. Some of his best memories were made during the seven times he attended summer camp. “My experiences

in scouting have changed me as a person.” Robert continued,” By exposing me to certain experiences in a comfortable setting, surrounded by friends, I overcame personal fears of climbing rock walls, whitewater rafting and doing things I’d never thought I would do.” A graduate of Commack High School, Robert is currently attending Suffolk Community College and, upon graduating, plans to transfer to a SUNY school and get his MBA in accounting. Robert reflected, “Looking back, I remember my role models in the troop, and hope that over the years I have become a role model for some other scouts. I hope that I have made some impact on the troop, one that will be remembered by the scouts that I call my friends.” The newest Eagle Scout is the son of Sue and Bob Cella, brother of Kimberly and grandson of Rose, all of whom reside in Commack.

Slam Dunk For Charity

On January 12th, the Harlem Wizards made their way to Hauppauge where they met up with Referee John “the Mouth” Kennedy, Jr., Minority Leader of the Suffolk County Legislature. It was a battle for the ages as the immovable object met the unstoppable force, with the Forest Brook Elementary School, Kicks for Cancer in memory of Courtney Tomkin who was a Hauppauge High School student who passed away from brain cancer and the Courtney Sipes Memorial Foundation (www.courtneysipes.org) benefitting from a game that rivaled the “Thrilla in Manila.” The Harlem Wizards, founded over 50 years ago by Howie Davis, is a family owned and operated travelling basketball team that travels nationwide combining comedy and high flying, rim rattling dunks taking on local teams to help with local fundraising efforts.

Throughout their starstudded history, the Wizards have featured Nancy Lieberman, Connie Hawkins, LA LA “Magic Man” Gable, played before Lech Walesa, crowds in China, Israel, Denmark, Italy and Turkey, played against a team made up of Boston Celtic All-Time Greats and featured many past and feature NBA players. This past Saturday, the Wizards took on an all-star team made up of Hauppauge elementary school teachers and staff, with proceeds from ticket and memorabilia sales going to the Forest Brook Elementary Parent Teacher Association, Hauppauge High School, Kicks for Cancer and the Courtney Sipes Memorial Foundation, which was founded in memory of Courtney Sipes, a Hauppauge student killed while crossing Smithtown’s Main Street by a drug-intoxicated driver. The Courtney Sipes

Memorial Foundation pursues the dual goals of supporting youth participation in music and the arts and promoting pedestrian safety efforts. Rob Scarito, Forest Brook Elementary School PTA Vice-President stated, “we are very excited to have Legislator Kennedy referee the game. Every time I have asked John for something locally, he has stepped up to the plate.” Rob, Holli and the rest of the Forrest Brook PTA did an outstanding job putting together this event,” said Kennedy. It is a great example of the hometown spirit and local support that Hauppauge demonstrates, year in and year out! “We can’t wait to see the Wizards come back!” For more information on the Harlem Wizards please contact 201.271.3600 or please feel free to contact Legislator Kennedy’s Office at 631.854.3735.
