Paul Allan, theatrical producer at the Performing Arts Center of Suffolk County, has been appointed to Suffolk County’s Citizens Advisory Board for the Arts (CAB).

The CAB reviews and recommends policy for Suffolk, evaluates funding applications, attends various county arts events, helps develop programs to promote and enhance the arts, and reports its findings to the county legislature.

“My family started the Gateway Playhouse in the

early '50s. Throughout my life, I have been surrounded by the arts and surrounded by theater,” Mr. Allan said.

“Since 1980, I have served as Gateway’s producer, and my duties have contributed to my awareness of and contact with arts organizations in our county, across many disciplines. I feel that I can make a positive contribution to this board.”

Suffolk County Legislator Kate Browning (WF-Shirley) nominated

Mr. Allan, a resident of Bellport Village, to represent the 3rd Legislative District.

“I want to thank Paul Allan for representing the 3rd Legislative District on the Citizens Advisory Board for the Arts,” Leg. Browning said. “Suffolk County has much to offer in cultural arts, and the Advisory board helps to promote and advance the arts for all the residents of Suffolk County. Paul’s expertise with theater for over 30 years will be a tremendous asset to the board.”

Mr. Allan’s appointment was confirmed by the Suffolk County Economic Development & Energy Committee on Wed., Aug. 15, with Vice Chairperson Steve Stern (DHuntington, 16th L.D.), Majority Leader Duwayne Gregory (D-Amityville, 15th L.D.) and Legislators Thomas Climi (R-Bay Shore, 10th L.D.) and Lynn Nowick (RSmithtown, 13th L.D.) in attendance.

Get Vaccinated. Vaccination is the best protection against contracting the flu. Everyone 6 months of age and older should get vaccinated against the flu as soon as the 2012-2013 season vaccine is available in your area.

If you do contract the flu, talk to your doctor about antivirals. Antiviral drugs are prescription medicines (pills, liquid or an inhaler) that can be used for prevention or treatment of flu viruses. If you get sick, antiviral drugs can make your illness milder and make you feel better faster.

Flu Facts: • The flu is caused by a virus called influenza • Flu is a contagious illness that is spread in droplets made by people when they talk, sneeze or cough. These droplets can then infect another person when they inhale them.

• Less commonly, a person might also get flu by touching an object that has the flu virus on it and then touching their own mouth, eyes or nose.

• Once infected, you may pass the virus to others even about a day before you begin to have symptoms yourself.

• Flu can cause a mild to severe illness and even death especially in the very young or old, pregnant woman or people with other medical illnesses (i.e.: asthma, diabetes) • The best way to prevent the flu is by getting a flu vaccine each year.

Q: What else can I do to prevent getting or spreading the flu?

A: Here are some things you can do: • Get vaccinated! Ask your friends to get vaccinated.

• Cover coughs and sneezes with a tissue and then throw the tissue in the garbage.

• Stay away from people who are sick.

• Wash your hands often with soap and water or use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer.

• Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth.

• If someone in the house is sick, if possible, try to keep them in a separate area.

• Keep surfaces like tables, sinks, counters and toys clean by wiping them down with a household disinfectant (follow instructions on the label).

Q: If I am concerned that vaccines cause autism, what is the harm of with holding vaccines?

A: Autism is also common in countries where there are no vaccines. Your child may develop severe illness which is easily vaccine - preventable.

I hope this helps you to better understand what the flu is and how you can protect yourself and your family from getting this illness. I wish you health and happiness. If I can be of further assistance, please let me know.

School’s Back and Soon the Flu Will be Too!! Get A Flu Shot Now!

Q: Who should get the flu vaccine?

A: Beginning this year with the 2012-2013 influenza season, the CDC recommends that everyone 6 months and older should get a flu vaccine each year. The single best way to prevent the flu is to get a flu vaccine each year.

Q: Where can I get a free vaccine for my child?

A: Pediatric Immediate Care in Smithtown offers free vaccinations for all children under 19, no co-pay for adults under 65. Call 864 7337 to get your preservative free flu vaccine.

238858N0919

Q: What are the Side Effects of the two vaccine types?

A: Different side effects can be associated with the flu shot and nasal vaccine.

The flu shot: You cannot get the flu from a flu shot.

Some minor side effects that could occur are: Soreness, redness, or swelling at the site of injection, Low grade fever, Muscles aches .If they are going to occur at all, they begin soon after the vaccination and usually last 1 to 2 days. Almost all people who receive influenza vaccine have no problems from it.

The nasal spray: The nasal-spray vaccine has weakened viruses and does not cause severe symptoms often associated with influenza illness. (In clinical studies, transmission of vaccine viruses to close contacts has occurred only rarely.) Side effects can include runny nose, wheezing, headache, Low grade fever, muscle aches, vomiting.

For More Information Call: 631-226-2636 - www.theneighbornewspapers.com

Q: What types of vaccinations are available?

A: The two types of flu vaccines are: • The “flu shot”: an inactivated vaccine which contains killed virus that is given by injection. It is approved for use in people 6 months of age and older, including healthy people, people with chronic medical conditions and pregnant women.

• The nasal spray flu vaccine: a vaccine made with live, but weakened flu virus that cannot cause the flu in a healthy person. This is approved for use in healthy people 2-49 years old (not pregnant)

PET’S PLACE

BY SHARON HUBBARD - Sharonadoptpet@aol.com • avoiceforanimals.org

Dear Readers,

For More Information Call: 631-226-2636 - www.theneighbornewspapers.com

Before I turn this column over to Dori Scofield, the Brookhaven Animal Shelter Superviser, I’m going to request that our Readers respond as quickly and as generously as they can. It’s going to take all of us to pitch in and help to heal these poor innocent souls. The 23 were used by their human owners in horrific and inhumane ways.

Some were used as living “bait” to train the fighting dogs, their teeth filed down or their mouths strapped shut, unmercifly bitten and mauled. Their faces and bodies bare the visable scars; their hearts the invisible aching with longing for the love and homes they would never know. Others were used as breeders, living in small filthy cages - no human contact, no grassy fields to run in, no sweet fresh air or warm human touch. They bore litters of puppies sold to continue the cycle of cruelty. And then there are the fighting dogs, beaten and forced to act against their own sweet natures, prodded into tearing and killing. They were killed and discarded as garbage if they refused to fight.

Readers, our combined communities of Nassau and Suffolk Counties need to pull together and make sure each and every one of these dogs has a “happily ever after.” There was evil living amoung us and it will take the good in all of us to make things right.

Please read on for a glimpse of what Dori saw on the raid that saved 23 lives...

“On September 9th, the Brookhaven Animal Shelter, along with the Suffolk County SPCA and Suffolk County Police Department,

confiscated 23 Pit Bulls from a deplorable home in Shirley, NY. Many of the dogs were stacked in rusted cages in a dark, very hot garage.

All were living in their own feces and urine. Others were locked up in various rooms of the house with little or no ventilation, and the remainder lived outside in makeshift kennels. The stench could only be tolerated by a seasoned rescuer. There are few words to describe the expression in the eyes that stared back at us, unsure if we were friend or foe. After five hours of examining and removing the dogs, they were all brought back to The Brookhaven Animal Shelter to begin a new chapter in their lives. I’m sure many readers will cheer for their safety but please understand, they are but another 23 dogs added to the already overcrowded shelter.

These dogs need homes desperately. Some are young, some are old, some are more beat up and scarred than others. But one thing is true... all are yearning for the love, companionship and a warm, cozy environment only a loving home can provide. Yes, we need money toward their medical care, blankets to keep them feeling secure, food to nourish their bodies, but more than anything, homes to nourish their souls. Most of the dogs are petite and all are sweet and submissive. I am asking everyone on Long Island to do something, one thing - small or large - for these dogs. Whether you can donate $1 toward the Help the Animals Fund or adopt one of these orphans, please do something. We are the voice of the voiceless... be a voice, change a life forever.”

www.htaf.org dscofield@brookhaven.org brookhaven.org/animalshelter 631.286.4940 300 Horseblock Rd. Brookhaven, NY 11719 Readers, if you have ever considered adopting a dog, please come forward and do it now. This is a crises situation; the shelter is overburdened and trying desperately to find each and every animal in its care a wonderful loving home.

Beds, blankets, and food are needed and can be dropped off at the Brookhaven Shelter or, if more convienient, at Century 21AA Realty, 1596 Straight Path, corner of Wellwood Avenue in Lindenhurst. Marianne Lappas and her husband John will be making trips to the shelter to drop off donations, so ask for Marianne.

A special shout out to the Suffolk County Police, the SPCA and the Brookhaven Animal Shelter Employees for a job well done.

Readers, if you do adopt, please let me know and e-mail a picture or two so that all of us can share in the happiness.

Please visit a shelter and adopt.

Remember, Your Best Friend Is Waiting...

Gotoh, a dual-degree recipient with a DMA in violin and viola performance, was nominated for the award by two professors,

Nicholas Cords, viola artist-in-residence at Stony Brook University; and Philip Setzer, professor of violin and chamber music at Stony Brook University and a founding member of the renowned Emerson String Quartet.

“I have been very fortunate to work with Philip Setzer and Nicholas Cords, who have nurtured my development as a musician and in becoming my own teacher. I'm grateful to receive the Patricia Kerr Ross Award to support my work and life as a violinist and violist,” said Gotoh. "The invaluable support from the faculty throughout my studies in the newlyproposed dual-degree doctorate in violin and viola performance attests to the open-minded environment and broad outlook of the Stony Brook University Music Department.”

Volunteers Honored

At the General Meeting of the Suffolk County Legislature held on August 21st, Legislator Sarah Anker presented a proclamation to Operation Veronica volunteers for their tireless efforts in supporting the brave men and women who serve our country.

Founded in 2005, Operation Veronica began with a small group of volunteers who wished to show their support for the servicemen and women

serving overseas. To date, the organization has shipped more than 26,000 handmade items including neck coolers that are used to keep soldiers cool in the 115 degree heat, and neck gators to provide warmth in winter. The group gathers at St. Anthony of Padua Roman Catholic Church in Rocky Point to sew, pack and ship items to the soldiers.

“Operation Veronica is a truly exceptional

organization that deserves be honored for their avid volunteerism,” said Legislator Anker. “They are a caring group of people who give of their time and talents to comfort the troops serving in Iraq, Afghanistan and Djibouti, Africa.”

Operation Veronica has expanded their efforts to include Operation Backpack providing backpacks and school supplies to the children of Afghanistan.

Restoration Grant Awarded The Suffolk County Vanderbilt Museum has received a $5,000 grant for the conservation treatment of a valuable seventeenth-century Dutch oil painting in its collection. The grant was made by the Conservation Treatment Grant Program of the Greater Hudson Heritage Network, a regranting agency of the New York State Council on the Arts.

Stephanie Gress, the Vanderbilt's director of curatorial services, said the painting, City of Boulogne by Hendrick Dubbels (1620-1676), is in “poor condition and in urgent need of restoration.” The work will be performed by the accomplished conservator Alexander Katlan of Flushing, NY. The painting, original to the collection of William K. Vanderbilt II, was treated last in 1986, Gress said.

“The darkened varnish was cleaned and

the painting was stabilized by adding a cloth lining to the back of the canvas.

The museum will provide matching funds to refurbish the ornate, gilt frame.”

Little is known of Dubbels’s life, Gress said.

He was born in Amsterdam in 1620 and worked as a painter of seascapes and winter landscapes from circa 1641 until his death in 1676. (Some historical sources list his lifespan as 1621-1707.)

“A lot of Dubbels's work was attributed to another artist and it is very rare to find his paintings in the United States,” she said.

“Much of his work is in collections in Florence and London and in England's National Gallery. Our painting may be one of the few in this country.”

Gress said the Vanderbilt collection includes other maritime paintings - a favorite of

Mr. Vanderbilt - along with nineteenth-century American and Dutch portraits, genre paintings (scenes from everyday life), Spanish religious works and European landscapes. “Although Mr. Vanderbilt collected art and antique furnishings,” she said, “his focus as a collector was ethnographic artifacts,” many of which are displayed in the Memorial Wing of the Vanderbilt Mansion.

Individuals with hearing loss will have an enhanced experience in the community meeting room at the newly renovated Smithtown main building.

A hearing loop has been installed in the Smithtown main building’s community room to serve patrons with hearing loss.

A hearing loop is a copper wire that is placed throughout a room’s seating area, which is powered by a loop driver generating a magnetic field.

A telecoil (T coil), a common option on most hearing aids, serves as a wireless antenna to link the listener directly into the facility's sound system.

Headsets will also be available for individuals who have hearing loss but do not wear hearing aids

with T coils or cochlear implants.

The Hearing Loss Association of America, the American Academy of Audiology, and organizations comprised of people with hearing loss, as well as Doctors of Audiology who treat hearing loss, endorse the installation of hearing loops in large venues to provide enhanced audibility for those with reduced hearing. Hearing loss is at epidemic levels and is the third most common condition in people over 65.

The Smithtown Library’s wireless hearing loop system has been made available thanks to a generous donation from the Foundation For Sight and Sound.

The grant was used to purchase 14 refrigerators, 12 freezers, six shelving units and 26 coolers for 45 of Island Harvest’s member agencies that serve over 10,000 people - from the very youngest to our senior most citizens - every month. Island Harvest’s agency clients will benefit from consistent provision of quality fresh, perishable, and frozen products, while giving them a wider choice of food and healthier options, such as fresh fruit and vegetables, meat, poultry and dairy products.

(NAPSI)—From the hottest to coldest and wettest to driest, extreme weather takes a toll on a vehicle, including wiper blades. Rain and snowfall mean wipers should be checked for wear from use, while dry and hot weather can also damage wiper blades. Extreme heat or extended periods of nonuse can cause the blade rubber to take a set or curve in one direction, causing poor wiping performance and limited visibility through the windshield.

To prepare your car for nasty weather, inspecting wiper blades should be part of your seasonal safety check.

Properly maintained wiper blades are an easy, low-cost way to ensure the clearest sight line in inclement weather and improve driving safety.

An estimated 90 percent

of a motorist’s driving decisions are based on how well he or she sees the road, yet many drivers overlook replacing worn wiper blades. Studies show that driver vision is a factor in more than 40 percent of all vehicle crashes.

“I can’t imagine anything being more important than the ability of the driver to see clearly through the windshield,” says Alexia Hayes, a wiper blade technical engineer and mother of two young children. Hayes suggests checking blades periodically and replacing them about every six months.

“Wiper blades are one of the most overlooked pieces of safety equipment,” says Hayes.

“But you won’t find a faster or lower-cost way to make yourself and your family safer than by

changing them.”

Better Blades Worn, torn or inefficient blades leave streaks, a film and an inconsistent view of the road that can limit vision or delay driver judgment. New blades can provide a better and longer-lasting clear view of the road.

One option is the Michelin Stealth hybrid technology wiper blade, with a patent-pending, spring-loaded design for superior contact with the windshield and improved wiping performance in all weather conditions.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), nearly 26 million children and adults in the United States have diabetes – a group of diseases marked by high levels of blood glucose resulting from defects in insulin production, insulin action, or both.

What’s more, an estimated 79 million U.S. adults have prediabetes, a condition that occurs when blood glucose levels are higher than normal (100 to 125 mg/dl after

fasting for at least eight hours) but are not high enough to be classified as having type 2 diabetes. A person who is not treated for pre-diabetes may soon develop type 2 diabetes and is also at increased risk for heart disease and stroke. Stop Diabetes is the movement to end the devastating toll that diabetes takes on millions of individuals and families across the nation.

“Winthrop is proud to support the American Diabetes Association in its efforts to raise awareness, promote healthy living, and raise money to fund educational outreach, advocacy efforts, and critical research that will ultimately put an end to diabetes once and for all,” said J. Lynne Chimon, MS, RD, CDN, CDE, Director of The Diabetes Education Center at Winthrop. “We encourage members of the community to join with Winthrop on September

By: Jamie Lynn Ryan Most of us have probably experienced some sort of adversity in our lives, whether of the small, petty variety or the large, lifechanging type. Overall, though, it is how we choose to deal with it that ultimately defines us. If, by taking the high road, we can somehow learn from it while not losing our sense of self in the process, well then, that’s really all we can hope to accomplish.

Someone recently pointed out to me that it’s often the star players who are frequently booed while on the road. Why? Because, despite the perceived animosity, there

exists a degree of grudging respect, perhaps even jealousy that the player isn’t part of their own home team.

Well, if that’s the case, then I have to believe criticism is the sincerest form of flattery. Otherwise, why would someone take the time and effort to express such negativity, if not for the sheer fact that they are anything but indifferent?

Rather, they must be quite invested.

Believe me, I will never truly understand those who seem to make their living by spewing hurtful opinions toward others.

Perhaps it makes them feel better about themselves; perhaps they are not

equipped to put their words into something more constructive. Either way, I believe it is a combination of arrogance and ignorance which motivates such behavior.

But so be it. Those who live their lives to bring others down will continue to do so. Those who strive to make a difference in the lives of others will continue their quest to do so. In the end, all that matters is that a difference was made.

If that means wearing that road uniform with pride in the face of adversity, then so be it. Being on the team sure beats being on the outside looking in, doesn’t it?

honored with this award.

The Vigil Honor cannot be earned. You have to be chosen by your peers to receive it. The greatest honor that can be conferred on a member of the Order of the Arrow is the recognition of his unselfish service to the Order of the Arrow, to Scouting, to a Scout Camp, or to an O.A. Lodge.

An extremely prestigious award, those honored with the Order of the Arrow Vigil Honor are chosen annually by the youth members of county-wide Shinnecock Lodge of the Suffolk County Council, Boy Scouts of America.

The 2012’s Vigil Honor Award recipient from Melville is Barbara Rosenblatt, Chartered O r g a n i z a t i o n Representative for Boy Scout Troop 309 and Venture Crew 309 in Dix Hills and the Matinecock District. A person must be

a Brotherhood member for two years before he can be considered eligible for the Vigil Honor. This honors those who go above and beyond the call of service in scouting and the community.

The Vigil Honor is easily recognized by a triangle having been placed in the middle of the arrow’s stem on the red and white OA sash. The first Vigil Honor was awarded in 1915 to the founder of the O.A., E. Urner Goodman.

Newest Eagle Honored

Chaminade graduate Ryan Glass became Boy Scout Troop 125’s (Commack) 89th Eagle Scout and recently celebrated his achievement during his Eagle Court of Honor held at the Commack United Methodist Church.

For his Eagle Leadership Service Project, Ryan built a prayer garden behind Holy Family Regional School at Christ the King Church.

The project consisted of digging 7-13 inches in the area, taking down the fence around it, placing recycled concrete aggregate, sand, and the pavers, replacing rotted railroad ties, and cleaning out the surrounding gardens. This area will be used by the school, church, parishioners and the nuns and priests living at Christ the King. This garden will service many generations of students and visitors for years to come.

A total of 582 hours were logged into the project from the planning stage through its completion by Ryan and 19 others. The funds necessary to complete the project were raised during a car wash at Sunshine Physical Therapy in Commack, which is owned

by Ryan’s mother, Venise Mulé-Glass.

Ryan commented, “I chose to do my project at Holy Family Regional School at Christ the King Roman Catholic Church because of my fond memories and the basis of religion that I learned as a student there.

Without my religious

values, I would not be the person I am today. These values truly help me to live out the scout oath and law, mainly in being true to myself and to the people around me.”

Ryan earned a total of 66 Merit Badges (21 of which are necessary to obtain the rank of Eagle) 45 more than needed to reach this scouting rank!

Ryan began scouting in first grade as a Tiger in Cub Scout Pack 125, where he went on to earn his Arrow of Light Award, the highest award in the Cub Scout program.

During his 7 years as a member of Troop 125, he held several positions including Assistant Senior Patrol Leader, Patrol Leader, Assistant Patrol Leader, Den Chief and Chaplain’s Aide.

While in Boy Scouts, Ryan achieved many certifications including BSA Lifeguard, CPR Certification, Firem’n Chit and National Youth Leadership Training. He is an Ordeal member in the Shinnecock Lodge Nissequogue Chapter of the Order of the Arrow, Scouting’s National Honor Society and has been awarded all of the religious emblems of his Roman Catholic faith: Cub Scouts – Light of Christ and Parvuli Dei; Boy Scouts - Ad Altare Dei and the Pope Pius XII. In addition to being a Boy Scout, Ryan is also a Sea Scout with Ship 460 based out of Northport (where he earned the Apprentice and Ordinary Ranks) and part of Venture Crew 333 out of Nassau County

(where he earned his 3 year pin and the Bronze Award).

Ryan attended Holy Family Regional School from pre-k through 4th grade. He then attended Commack Middle School where he earned the Golden Wildcat Award all three years.

As a 2012 graduate of Chaminade High School, Ryan was active in many extracurricular activities while in school, including the Drama Club, Speech and Debate, Glee Club, Emmaus (a volunteer organization), Catholic League, Math Team, Chamber Ensemble, Sodality and Music Club.

“Just the overall opportunity to be able to go to Chaminade was amazing because it was one of the only places where I could really let my talents shine, and skills that I have learned in scouting come out and be used,” said Ryan.

Ryan will be attending Loyola University in Maryland in the fall and will be majoring in Psychology.

He commented, “The skills and life lessons that I have learned through Boy Scouting will be ones that will stay with me forever.

Scouting has shown me that no matter what, I should always be true to myself and do what is the best for everyone I encounter.”

The newest Eagle Scout is the son of Andy and Venise Mulé-Glass, and brother of Kristen and Dan. The Glass family resides in Dix Hills.

Senator Owen H. Johnson joins SchoolBusiness Partnerships of Long Island, Inc. (SBPLI) in announcing The 3rd Annual Fred Breithut Memorial Golf Outing to be held on Thursday, September 20th, at the Wind Watch Golf & Country Club, 1715 Vanderbilt Motor Parkway in Hauppauge.

Registration and brunch will take place between noon and 1:15 p.m., with a shotgun start at 1:30 p.m.

Following golf will be a reception starting at 6:30 p.m., with dinner being served at 7 p.m.

Tickets are $250 per golfer and $900 per foursome which includes a round of golf, golf carts, brunch and dinner.

Tickets are $100 each for dinner only (no golf). If you are interested in being a sponsor, e-mail: SBPLIgolf@scc-cm.com.

To register online, visit www.SBPLIgolf.com. You may also call Will Recce, Chairman of the Golf Committee at 631.567.0200 if you are unable to register online or have questions regarding the Golf Outing.

The outing is in memory of Senator Johnson’s dear friend, Fred Breithut, Founder and Chairman, SBPLI, who passed away on April 26th, 2010. In 1984, the year before he retired, Mr. Breithut founded SchoolBusiness Partnerships of Long Island, a non-profit organization focusing on closing the gap between the skills needed in Long Island’s business community and the schools that prepare the island’s workforce. Under Mr. Breithut’s leadership, more than 100 such partnerships were formed.

In 1999, Mr. Breithut brought the FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) Robotics Competition (FRC) to Long Island, in which high school students work with their professional mentors to design a robot that solves a problem using a “kit of parts” and a standard set of rules. Once these young inventors create their 130-pound robots, their teams participate in regional competitions that measure the effectiveness

of each robot, the power of collaboration and the determination of students.

Proceeds from the golf outing will be used to help support the costs associated with SBPLI’s programs: Junior FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) LEGO League (Jr. FLL), FLL Qualifying and C h a m p i o n s h i p Tournaments and Long Island FIRST Robotics Competition, all of which cost more than $250,000 to host. These robotics programs help students grades K-12 garner an interest in science, engineering and technology and learn about teamwork, problem solving and “gracious professionalism.”

In the event of inclement weather, please call the Wind Watch Golf & Country Club at 631.232.9850 extension 1.

If the course is unplayable, golfers will receive a voucher to play at the course for another day.

The reception and dinner will go on as planned.

Dr. Takeuchi was inducted into the National Inventors Hall of Fame (2011) and is a recipient of the National Medal of Technology and Innovation presented by President Obama in 2009, the highest honor possible for technological achievement in the United States. She has been inducted into the prestigious National Academy of Engineering and selected as a Fellow of the American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering. She has received numerous “inventor of the year” awards and has been recognized on a number of occasions for her impact as a woman in the sciences.

Dr. Takeuchi received her BA in Chemistry and History from the University of Pennsylvania and her PhD in Organic Chemistry from Ohio State University. She completed her postdoctoral work at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, and the University at Buffalo.

She holds 153 patents, has published more than 60 peer-reviewed articles in such journals as Analytical Chemistry, Journal of Physical Chemistry, Journal of Power Sources, Journal of the Electrochemical Society, Chemistry of Materials and more. She has conducted more than 100 i n v i t e d lectures/presentations, published four books and three book contributions.

SUFFOLK ZONE 2 - NEIGHBOR NEWSPAPERS - WEDNESDAY SEPTEMBER 19, 2012

Esther Sans Takeuchi, a SUNY Distinguished Professor with a joint appointment in the Department of Chemistry and the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at Stony Brook University, as well as the Chief Scientist at Brookhaven National Laboratory, has been selected as the 2013 recipient of the E.V. Murphree Award in Industrial and Engineering Chemistry from the American Chemical Society.

Professor Takeuchi, one of the world’s leading energy storage researchers who is best known for developing the technology for the power source used in implantable cardiac defibrillators and for holding 153 patents – more than any woman in the United States, will receive this prestigious award at the 245th American Chemical Society National Meeting and Exposition in New Orleans, Louisiana, April 7th-11th, 2013.

Sponsored by the Exxon Mobil Research and Engineering Co., the E.V. Murphree Award is designed to stimulate research in industrial and engineering chemistry,

the development of chemical engineering principles and their application to industrial processes. The award consists of $5,000 and a certificate.

“I am very pleased to receive this national award from the American Chemical Society,” said Dr. Takeuchi. “It is a great honor to be considered a peer among the illustrious previous award recipients.”

Dr. Takeuchi is an internationally recognized expert in the multidisciplinary field of battery research, whose innovative work inventing lithium/silver vanadium oxide (Li/SVO) has been instrumental in saving innumerable lives. LiSVO is the enabling power source technology that makes possible the s u c c e s s f u l implementation of the implantable cardiac defibrillator.

“I congratulate Dr. Takeuchi on this welldeserved honor,” said Dennis N. Assanis, Provost and Senior Vice President for Academic Affairs at Stony Brook University.

“The E.V. Murphree Award in Industrial and Engineering Chemistry from the American Chemical Society is further evidence of her distinguished reputation for conducting groundbreaking and translational research. As one of the nation’s most prolific inventors and energy storage researchers, Dr. Takeuchi’s work is vital in our efforts to provide transformative solutions for smart grid energy

Common Car Seat Mistakes Parents Should Avoid driving a mile from home, so my son doesn’t need to be secured in his car seat since it’s a short trip.”

Reminder: You should buckle up properly on every trip—no matter the distance—especially since most crashes occur close to home.

Shortcut: “I’m picking up several kids after soccer practice and I’m going to put my 8-year-old daughter in the front seat so all the children can fit into the car.”

Reminder: All children under age 13 are safest when riding in the backseat and properly restrained in a car seat, booster seat or seat belt.

Shortcut: “We will be driving more people in our car than we have seat belts. Since it’s a short trip, it’s not a big deal for someone to ride on another person’s lap.”

Reminder: It’s never safe to ride on another person’s lap.

Each

passenger should be properly restrained on every trip.

Shortcut: “My son is 10 years old and 4’6” tall.

He’s big enough to use a seat belt now.”

Reminder: The American Academy of Pediatrics now recommends children continue to use beltpositioning booster seats until they are 4’9” and the seat belt fits properly.

Help For Parents Fortunately, AAA experts are available to help parents with car seat installation. Visit an AAA club, go to www.seatcheck.org or call (866) SEATCHECK [(866) 732-8243].

stressful, but there’s no reason for your temper or water temperature to rise in the face of difficult stains. Pre-treating and presoaking garments in warm water prior to washing can ensure your stains are removed regardless of the water temperature in your wash cycle.

All stains are not alike.

Protein stains, such as blood set in hot water, can make cold water a good option for keeping laundry spotless.

Warm up at the Right Times Cold-water washing might not be the best option for every laundry load. Heavily soiled or grease-stained loads need warm or hot water for a proper cleaning.

Machine Shop Some washing machines feature a cold cycle designed to work specifically with coldwater detergents. The

Maytag Bravos XL even has the Oxi Treat Stains option to ensure laundry is properly cleaned and cared for in cold water.

Banish Residue Buildup As you use more coldwater cycles, keep an eyeand nose-on the inside of your washing machine for any residue that may build up. This residue, which can accumulate when too much detergent is used, is easily broken down with a once-a-month cleaning with a washer cleaner. Pop an affresh washer cleaner puck into your top-load or front-load washer and run on a hot cycle to dissolve odor-causing residue and leave your washer ready to handle your toughest laundry loads.

(NAPSI)—Parents of young children need to be better educated in order to avoid making potentially dangerous safety mistakes when they are on the go.

The Problem Automobile crashes remain a leading cause of death for children and it’s important that parents consistently and correctly use the appropriate car seat to keep their child passengers safe. Many parents may be unknowingly endangering their children as three out of four car seats are not used correctly, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

Some Answers Busy parents and caregivers may be tempted by safety shortcuts when transporting children.

AAA offers simple reminders to protect parents’ most precious cargo.

Shortcut: “I’m only

(NAPSI)—Here’s a money-saving idea you may warm to: Use a coldwater wash cycle to keep winter wear and blankets clean while saving energy.

Cool Off to Save Big High energy costs can result from washing clothes in warm and hot cycles. According to the Consortium for Energy Efficiency, cold-water cycles can use up 76 percent less water and 78 percent less energy while offering the same cleaning power.

Not only does coldwater washing keep your energy bill low, it can help minimize how much you need to spend on dry cleaning and new clothes.

Knits made of wool and other natural materials that you may have dry cleaned in the past can be safely cleaned and cared for with cold water on a gentle cycle.

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.

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

SUFFOLK ZONE 2 - NEIGHBOR NEWSPAPERS - WEDNESDAY SEPTEMBER 19, 2012

(NAPSI)—There are steps parents and others can take to drive down the dreadful rate of traffic injuries and fatalities. An estimated 6,000 people are killed and 500,000 people are injured annually because someone was texting, e-mailing or talking on a mobile phone while driving.

The Facts Dr. Joel Haber, a clinical psychologist and LG Text Ed council member, explains that for teens, texting and driving is an even bigger problem than it is for adults.

First, kids text more.

Texting is their preferred mode of communication.

According to a recent LG Text Ed survey conducted

by LG Mobile phones, while half of all teens admit to texting while driving, only 4 percent of parents are aware of this.

Second, teens are inherently novices when it comes to driving. They especially need to focus on the road to compensate for any lack of driving skill or experience.

Third, teens can literally be driven to distraction. If a teen is caught up in a
