Bellone Gives Keynote Address

Suffolk Zone 4 - NEIGHBOR NEWSPAPERS - Wednesday January 23, 2013

County Executive Steve Bellone discussed his efforts to create local jobs and improve government efficiency when he addressed more than 800 business representatives and elected officials at the Long Island Association’s annual State of the Counties Report Breakfast. Bellone and Nassau County Executive Ed Mangano served as the key presenters at the event.

Bellone highlighted the positive relationship which has developed with the Suffolk County legislature and the executive branch of government, a relationship that was nonexistent over the

past several years. This improved relationship has led to government working for the residents of Suffolk County in a unified manner and focused on actually solving problems including reducing the size of county government by more than 700 positions since Bellone took office.

Suffolk County’s improved relationship with the State has also provided Suffolk County residents with one of the most successful State agendas to date.

From day one, County Executive Bellone’s priority has been to grow Suffolk County’s economy. “Young people are leaving the Long Island region at record rates,� said County

Executive Bellone. “We have a lack of quality affordable housing, a lack of high paying jobs, and high volume of traffic on our roadways. The only way to combat these problems is to create sustainable long-term economic growth.�

Bellone highlighted Connect Long Island as the answer to creating sustainable growth in Suffolk County.

Connect Long Island is a comprehensive regional transportation and development plan that compliments Suffolk County’s assets: worldclass educational and research facilities and major infrastructure

improvements in the pipeline including the Long Island Railroad’s Double Track Project. He emphasized the need to create a transportation infrastructure that connects these assets with vibrant downtown developments, improved North-South transit connections and innovation zones designed to attract, retain and grow clusters of businesses around existing and enhanced transportation corridors, research institutions and municipal land.

Among the North-South mass transit connections, Bellone’s plan calls for Bus Rapid Transit (BRT).

BRT is an innovative, high capacity, public transit solution that can significantly improve mobility as an extension of the LIRR service.

There is currently a study underway analyzing BRT along the Route 110 corridor, which is home to 135,000 jobs. In the future BRT lanes on the Sagtikos Parkway can provide a connection to the Deer Park Train Station, the Heartland Development, Kings Park Train Station and existing downtowns.

A BRT lane along Nicolls Road would provide a connection to Stony Brook University, Suffolk County Community College’s Selden campus

and Patchogue Village.

Bellone also called for improving mass transit by expanding electrification of the LIRR to Stony Brook University, Patchogue Village and to Brookhaven National Laboratory at the Yaphank station.

However, Bellone cautioned that in order for Suffolk County to experience true economic growth the procedural hurdles that exist for businesses must be streamlined and he pledged to work with the Suffolk County legislature to address these issues in an effort to move Suffolk County’s economic agenda forward.

The Gurwin Jewish Nursing & Rehabilitation Center in Commack is currently seeking artistically gifted volunteers to partner with residents in a new

program aimed at helping individuals with varying levels of cognitive ability to express themselves through art.

by experienced volunteer Judie Raff of Jericho, who has more than a decade of experience working with residents in artistic expression programming.

Requirements include

a minimum commitment of 2-3 hours per week, an enjoyment of art as a medium of expression (no actual artistic experience is required), and a sense of compassion and affection

for the elderly.

Supplies, materials and training will be provided.

Season Underway

The 2013 St. Joseph’s Church of Ronkonkoma, CYO (Catholic Youth Organization) basketball season got underway on Sunday, January 6th.

CYO Chairman Henry Melchiona welcomed the children, volunteer coaches and parents as the eager 6 & 7 year olds put their basketballs down to listen to the chairman .

Afterwards the youngsters were organized into working groups with

their coaches, and the players began running, dribbling and shooting their way into the new basketball season. This basketball program, according to the chairman, has grown from an initial 30 youngsters, to this year’s enrollment of close to 300.

Volunteer coaches teach these energetic youngsters basketball skills and sportsmanship, while providing an opportunity

to make new friends, and just have fun. Games are played at the St. Joseph’s Elementary School gym/ auditorium on Saturdays or Sundays.

Parents, along with siblings and grandparents, are on hand to cheer their teams on.

Everyone is looking forward to another exciting year of St. Joseph’s CYO ‘Clinic Division’ basketball.

Hurricane Aid

Mrs. Kelly Randazzo is the Cherokee Street Elementary School Student Council Advisor. Together with co-advisor Ms. Jamie Sher and dedicated officers, Cherokee’s Student Council members conducted a school-wide community service project to assist families affected

by Hurricane Sandy.

Student Council members collected, sorted, and packaged personal care items that they would provide to the Red Cross, which would then be made available to needy Long Island

families.

As Cherokee Street Elementary School Principal Mrs. Bridgette Wilson worked alongside them, students wrote thoughtful notes which they included in each package of personal items.

Each package contained toothpaste, toothbrushes, mouthwash, soap, shampoo, hairbrushes and a personal note from the student who prepared the packet.

Mrs. Kelly expressed her gratitude to her Student Council members, their families and local businesses who

Thank You Breakfast

On Sunday morning, January 13th, members of the Connetquot Teachers Association (CTA) visited the Bohemia, and West Sayville, Fire Departments to provide a ‘Thank You’ breakfast to these dedicated volunteers.

Connetquot Teachers Association President Tony Felicio, Jr., has long appreciated the sacrifices of the community’s volunteer firemen, and EMS workers. Through personal experience he has come to value what these selfless individuals do when they receive that ‘emergency’ phone call. But the response of these community volunteers during, and after, Hurricane Sandy took their dedication to another level.

Felicio told the volunteers, “On behalf of

the Connetquot Teachers Association, thank you for what you did not only during the storm, but for what you do day in and day out for our communities.

While we are all at home with our families safe and sound, you folks are away from yours helping and saving lives. You truly make a difference!”

The Bohemia Fire Department is celebrating it’s 120th year protecting the residents of that community!

The West Sayville fire house, established in 1961, is located in Oakdale, and responsible for that community, as well as the western part of Sayville.

Felicio went on to say “… it was amazing in talking to the firefighters, just how much history there is in the community in which we work.”

Felicio thanked 1st Assistant Chief Michael Stankunis (Bohemia VFD) and Chief of Department – Robert Doucet (West Sayville VFD) as they discussed the vast communities the departments protect, and the dedication of their firefighters.

The CTA President also extended his gratitude to the families of the firefighters, and CTA members Cheryl Hausle, Pat Goff (retired) and Ginny Spiess (retired) for organizing the two breakfast events.

contributed the personal items. Cherokee Principal Mrs. Bridgette Wilson thanked the students and advisors for their generous consideration of families who had suffered so much during the recent Hurricane.

It was clear that this community service project was also a important lesson to the entire Cherokee Street Elementary School RUNNING WITH RECYCLING - Most people don’t want old, worn sneakers, which community, in the value of is just fine with Keep Islip Clean Junior Commissioners.

“How do you go red?” asks the American Heart Association. On Friday, February 1st, people from across Long Island, as well as corporations, businesses, hospitals, towns, schools, local and state legislators, members of the media, teachers, and people from all walks of life will be wearing red to focus attention on - and raise funds to fight the No. 1 killer of women – cardiovascular disease.

On February 1st, the American Heart Association’s 10th Annual National Wear Red Day asks women to show their support for the fight against heart disease in women by wearing red. It’s an easy, powerful way to speak up and show support for Go Red For Women®, the American Heart Association’s solution to save women’s lives. The Go Red For Women movement, sponsored nationally by Macys and Merck urges women to take charge of their cardiovascular health, make it a top priority and live a stronger, longer life.

The North Shore-Long

Island Jewish Health System is the Cities Go Red Sponsor for the movement.

Every minute in the United States, someone’s wife, mother, daughter or sister dies from heart disease, stroke or other form of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Heart disease is the No. 1 killer of women age 25 and older and stroke is the No. 4 killer of women, as women account for 61 percent of all stroke deaths annually.

The American Heart Association Go Red For Women movement is about turning around these statistics. It’s also about resources, information and hope.

Donations to Go Red For Women help support our efforts to educate women and to fund breakthrough research by the American Heart Association that helps ensure women are represented in clinical studies.

Since 2004, through its fundraising efforts, Go Red For Women has contributed almost $44 million to women-focused research and has provided additional

NEW LASER KILLS TOENAIL FUNGUS!

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 :)

Sayville Semifinalist

Congratulations to Sayville High School Senior Rebecca Monastero for being one of the 53 Long Island science students named from among the 300 national semifinalists in the Intel Science Talent Search, Rebecca’s research on participants from Long Island, entitled Interactions of Mercury and Omega-3 Fatty Acids in Avid Seafood Consumers, for which she earned her semifinalist status, was conducted this past summer as a Simons Fellow at Stony Brook University under the mentorship of Dr. Jaymie Meliker. The objectives of this epidemiology study were to cluster seafood consumers based on dietary patterns to investigate relationships between seafood consumption, mercury, omega-3s, and endpoints including

anxiety, hypertension, and difficulty sleeping.

“She is well-deserving of this wonderful achievement. I am so proud of her!” said her Sayville Science Research Teacher Maria Brown, Since submitting her project, Rebecca has continued her research.

Using a mercury analyzer at Freeport High School under the direction of Science Research Teacher Ed Irwin, Rebecca had been analyzing locally caught tuna/salmon for mercury.

She will be returning to Stony Brook University this month where she will analyze the remaining data that was collected since August, 2012.

The Top 40 projects out of the pool of 300 semifinalists will be announced on Jan 23rd.

According to their website, “the Intel Science Talent

Search (Intel STS) is the nation’s most prestigious pre-college science competition. Alumni of STS have made extraordinary contributions to science and hold more than 100 of the world’s most coveted science and math honors, including the Nobel Prize and National Medal of Science. The Intel STS recognizes 300 students and their schools as semifinalists each year to compete for $1.25 million in awards. From that select pool, 40 finalists are then invited to Washington, DC in March to participate in final judging, display their work to the public, meet with notable scientists, and compete for the top award of $100,000.”

Good Luck, Rebecca!

showed how technology gave her four- and five-yearold students greater access to multisensory, “out of seat” learning experiences.

Mrs. Gonzalez spent the first part of the school year providing her students with direct instruction on vocabulary associated with technology integration and basic functioning of the whiteboard and desktop. Software such as Easiteach, provided the base for this learning and it allowed Mrs. Gonzalez to incorporate websites, links to curriculum resources, web-based videos, and teachermade slides. Students became increasingly more independent using the tool bars as the year progressed and were responsible for their own learning through this technology integration.

“Once students gain

confidence in their ability to work with the board,” states Mrs. Gonzalez, “the students transfer their technology skills to the computer lab.”

Additional software, such as Kidspiration can be integrated into Easiteach.

In that particular program, students create their own slides which reflect their learning. Those slides are posted to Mrs. Gonzalez’s website where parents can view what their children are learning and creating in school Mrs. Gonzalez, who is recognized for her high level of creativity as well as her ability to provide meaningful learning experiences through the use of technology, joins past ASSET Bright Light Award Winners Andrea Adams, Cindy Dwyer, Tracy Toth, James McLoughlin, and Sharon Donnelly.

World School

Connetquot School District Superintendent Dr. Alan B. Groveman recently welcomed Mr. Asheesh Misra to the district high school in Bohemia. Mr. Misra is the International Baccalaureate (IB) Coordinator at George Mason High School in Falls Church, Virginia.

“Mr. Misra visited Connetquot as a consultant to assist us in the authorization phase of the application process as we seek to become an IB World School,” said assistant principal Louise Burger.

On December 4th and 5th, Mr. Misra met with Dr. Hillary Garland, Dr. Peggie S. Staib, Central office and building administrators, department chairpersons and members of the faculty to answer questions, and discuss the upcoming

authorization process.

The entire Connetquot High School faculty was also invited to Mr. Misra’s International B a c c a l a u r e a t e presentation.

The IB, was founded in Geneva, Switzerland, in 1968 as a non-profit educational foundation which recently authorized its 10,000th school. There are 1,400 IB World Schools in the United States.

Rockville Center, Garden City, Hauppauge and West Islip are just a few of the Long Island school districts authorized to be IB Schools.

The International Baccalaureate program is motivated by a mission to create a better world through education.

Its reputation for quality and high standards have been

achieved by involving stakeholders, particularly teachers.

Its aim is to develop inquiring, knowledgeable and caring young people who help create a better, and more peaceful, world through intercultural understanding and respect.

The personal attributes of an IB student include include curiosity, independence and selfmotivation; organization, an interest in global issues and seeking challenges. Many thanks to Mr. Asheesh Misra for his visit to Connetquot, and his encouragement for the district’s active pursuit of IB World School recognition.

Connetquot’s Alternative High School Principal, Mrs. Louise Burger, called together her students, staff and supporters for a special Thanksgiving celebration on Wednesday, November 21st. Mrs. Burger said that “… as part of the Family and Consumer Science elective, students learned the basics of planning, preparing and cooking an elaborate festive holiday meal.” Thanksgiving would be the occasion to put that training to good use!

Students enrolled at the Eastern BOCES Regional

Alternative high school program at Connetquot, prepared a authentic feast of pumpkin bread, appetizers, turkey, mashed potatoes, baked macaroni and cheese, stuffed shells (Italian Thanksgiving treat!) green bean casserole, stuffing, corn, cranberry sauce, biscuits and gravy.

The proud students invited family and friends to join them for dessert.

As the last activity before the extended Thanksgiving weekend, Connetquot students, staff, family and

friends enjoyed a truly wonderful ‘family’ event to be thankful for. Mrs. Burger expressed her gratitude to the following for their support: Dawn Maenza, Debbie Clark, Kim Duff, Gail O’Connor, Jackie Salerno, Scott Ferguson, Michele Jaquez, Alise Selvaggio and Scott Burger.

It might now be time to look forward to planning a Christmas dinner menu!

West Sayville’s hard work resulted in an additional eighty contest and tournament total points trophies and fifty-three leg trophies gracing the shelves of the team’s already 3,000 plus collection.

Most of these achievements were duly noted back in October when the Suffolk County Parade and Drill Team Captains’ Association held its annual awards and installation dinner in Ocean Bay Park. Innumerable times the West Sayville team was recognized from the podium for its achievements and, by the end of the day, had accumulated ten awards as noted hereafter.

As outgoing captain Gary A. Schaum watched his replacement, Ryan Tenney, take the oath of office as drill team captain of the Flying Dutchmen drill team on January 4th, during the West Sayville Fire Department’s installation ceremony, his thoughts wandered back to the prior year. 2012 had been a good year for the team with six tournament victories – the most of any team in the state – coupled with a trio of second place finishes and a pair of third place efforts making for an average finish of 1.64. A record any other team would certainly be envious of. The six wins also increased the team’s total tournament victory count to 164 since first engaging in firematic competition in 1892.

On top of all that, the Flying Dutchmen compiled more overall tournament points than any of their Suffolk County counterparts over the summer of 2012 as well as in the individual contests of Motor Hook and Ladder Class B, Motor Hook and Ladder Class C and Motor Hose Class B. The season total points championship was the team’s sixteenth since the honor was first bestowed in 1973. The team’s proficiency and speed were further reflected in the honor of topping the B Ladder and C Ladder contests statewide with the fastest completion times of 4.99 seconds and 8.79 seconds respectively.

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.”

Dentists Can Save Lives (NAPSI)—Although the Oral Cancer Foundation estimates that close to 37,000 Americans will be diagnosed with oral cancer this year, you may be able to avoid being one of them.

Oral cancer kills one person every hour of the day, each day of the year— mostly because it’s often diagnosed too late. Now, however, an advanced technology is available

that can help your dentist and hygienist better detect abnormalities of the mouth, throat, tongue and tonsils that may possibly be the early signs of cancer.

It’s an oral screening device known as Identafi®, which uses three separate wavelengths of light combined with an angled examination mirror to identify oral tissue abnormalities that might

not be visible to the naked eye and under normal lighting conditions. This small, cordless device’s compact size enables painless, easy inspection of hard-to-reach areas in the mouth. The device is marketed under the StarDental brand of DentalEZ Group.

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.

Onions: Yellow, Red, White • Red onions are increasingly popular, especially raw in salads and sandwiches. Their wonderful color also makes them perfect for grilling, charbroiling and roasting.

• White onions are commonly used in Mexican, Southwest and BBQ dishes. They are also used in sauces and potato and pasta salads. When sautéed, they turn a golden color and have a mild flavor.

With so many ways in which they can be used, it’s easy to see why the National Onion Association says onions are among the

most versatile vegetables.

Ultimate Ascent

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.”

Super Bowl Of Smarts On Friday, February 1st, School-Business Partnerships of Long Island, Inc. (SBPLI) and Farmingdale State College will host their “Super Bowl of Smarts” Breakfast to benefit the Fred Breithut Scholarship Fund. The program includes a continental breakfast and will begin at 8:30 a.m. at Farmingdale State College’s University Club in Knapp Hall.

The Fred Breithut Scholarship was established in November 2009 in partnership with Farmingdale State College.

It is for graduating high school seniors who have met specific academic requirements and who have participated in the Long Island FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) robotics program. These students will be entering the freshman class at Farmingdale State College to pursue a degree in Mathematics, Engineering Technology, Computer Systems or related fields of study.

Those in attendance will have a chance to meet fellow colleagues and learn about the importance of SBPLI’s FIRST robotics programs and the late chairman/founder of the organization for whom the scholarship is named.

“Fred lived a life that is a model for all of us,” said Joani Madarash, Executive Director, SBPLI. “He always had the vision, persistence and tireless devotion to moving our organization forward.”

The four-year scholarship is for students enrolling in Farmingdale State College and provides $1,000 per semester. In order for a student to be eligible for the scholarship, he or she must meet the following requirements: • Confirmed active participation in the Long Island FIRST robotics program while in high school for at least two years (preferably three years) • A high school GPA of 85 or better • An SAT score of 550 or better in Math, and 1100 or better in Math/Critical Reading • A letter of recommendation, either from a high school team mentor or an involved teacher • Enrollment in one of Farmingdale State College’s four-year programs: Mathematics, Engineering Technology, Computer Systems or related fields of study For the continuation of the scholarship each semester while the recipient is at Farmingdale State College, he or she must meet the following

criteria: • A 3.5 GPA at the end of each semester • A commitment to promote and support the Long Island FIRST robotics program • A letter describing the actions he or she has taken to promote and support the LI FIRST program on Long Island and/or within Farmingdale State College Tickets to attend this breakfast event are $35, with all proceeds going directly toward the Fred Breithut Scholarship Fund. Anyone who cannot attend but wishes to contribute can still make a donation to the fund. All checks and reservations must be received on or before Friday, January 25th, 2013.

To RSVP and to donate, send your tax-deductible contribution to SBPLI, Attn.: Joani Madarash, PO Box 101, Kings Park, NY 11754. Please make checks payable to Farmingdale State College Foundation, with “The Fred Breithut Scholarship Fund” written on the memo line.

To confirm a reservation, ensure that a check has been received, or for more information, call Joani Madarash at 631.627.8400 or e-mail jmadarash@ accesslinx.com. For more information on SBPLI, visit www.sbpli-lifirst.org.

The Need To Develop A Retirement Plan (NAPSI)—Preparing for retirement can be a challenging process— and emerging trends are not helping matters.

Fortunately, developing a retirement plan can help.

That’s the word from experts who say changes in employee benefits, longer life spans, uncertainty with Social Security and Medicare and the rising cost of health care have made funding retirement more difficult.

With most of the

responsibilities for financial aspects of retirement now falling squarely on the shoulders of individuals, the key, according to Insured Retirement Institute President and CEO Cathy Weatherford, is to have a comprehensive plan that addresses both retirement income and expensesincluding health care.

National Retirement Planning Week was created to remind consumers of the importance of having

a plan for funding their retirement.

For those needing help, a professional financial advisor can assist when creating a road map toward attaining financial security.

Bellone Gives Keynote Address

County Executive Steve Bellone discussed his efforts to create local jobs and improve government efficiency when he addressed more than 800 business representatives and elected officials at the Long Island Association’s annual State of the Counties Report Breakfast.

Bellone and Nassau County Executive Ed Mangano served as the key presenters at the event.

Bellone highlighted the positive relationship which has developed with the Suffolk County legislature and the executive branch of government, a relationship that was nonexistent over the past several years. This improved relationship has led to government working for the residents of Suffolk County in a unified manner and focused on actually solving problems including reducing the size of county government by more than 700 positions since Bellone took office.

Suffolk County’s improved relationship with the State has also provided Suffolk County residents with one of the most successful State agendas to date.

From day one, County Executive Bellone’s priority has been to grow Suffolk County’s economy.

“Young people are leaving the Long Island region at record rates,” said County Executive Bellone. “We

have a lack of quality affordable housing, a lack of high paying jobs, and high volume of traffic on our roadways. The only way to combat these problems is to create sustainable longterm economic growth.”

Bellone highlighted Connect Long Island as the answer to creating sustainable growth in Suffolk County.

Connect Long Island is a comprehensive regional transportation and development plan that compliments Suffolk County’s assets: worldclass educational and research facilities and major infrastructure improvements in the pipeline including the Long Island Railroad’s Double Track Project. He emphasized the need to create a transportation infrastructure that connects these assets with vibrant downtown developments, improved North-South transit connections and innovation zones designed to attract, retain and grow clusters of businesses around existing and enhanced transportation corridors, research institutions and municipal land.

Among the North-South mass transit connections, Bellone’s plan calls for Bus Rapid Transit (BRT).

BRT is an innovative,

high capacity, public transit solution that can significantly improve mobility as an extension of the LIRR service. There is currently a study underway analyzing BRT along the Route 110 corridor, which is home to 135,000 jobs.

In the future BRT lanes on the Sagtikos Parkway can provide a connection to the Deer Park Train Station, the Heartland Development, Kings Park Train Station and existing downtowns.

A BRT lane along Nicolls Road would provide a connection to Stony Brook University, Suffolk County Community College’s Selden campus and Patchogue Village.

Bellone also called for improving mass transit by expanding electrification of the LIRR to Stony Brook University, Patchogue Village and to Brookhaven National Laboratory at the Yaphank station.

However, Bellone cautioned that in order for Suffolk County to experience true economic growth the procedural hurdles that exist for businesses must be streamlined and he pledged to work with the Suffolk County legislature to address these issues in an effort to move Suffolk County’s economic agenda forward.

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

The ABC campaign, launched in January 2012, continues as a collaborative effort among the senior public affairs directors at each of NSHC’s

24 member hospitals and NSHC’s communications department.

The webbased initiative examines Access, Benefits, Costs of the law as these elements apply to different population segments, as well as to businesses.

Offered in reader-friendly terms, the resource is updated regularly as parts of the law are enacted.

The MarCom Awards is an international competition that recognizes outstanding creative achievement by marketing and communications professionals.

More than 6,000 entries were received.

“The ACA represents an historic change in the way health care is delivered and reimbursed,” said Kevin Dahill, president/ CEO of the NSHC. “There are components in the law that will affect just about

everyone. While hospitals’ main function is to help and heal the sick and injured, our institutions also realize they have an obligation to help communities understand policies that ultimately will impact them.”

(NAPSI)—Pet owners have become increasingly aware of the importance of pet oral health and its effect on whole-body health and well-being. While daily tooth-brushing is the gold standard in oral care for pets as it is for humans, less than 1 percent of dog owners are compliant.

Instead, many turn to treats with dental benefits, known for being more enjoyable for pets and most convenient for owners.

A new study shows that 77 percent of dog owners gave treats they believed to provide oral care benefits last year, with 30 percent increasing such treat giving. Yet up to 60 percent of them don’t realize that their dogs may have progressing oral disease.

Part of the problem is lack of veterinary care. Also, most treats that claim to clean teeth lack the research to prove it.

“Veterinary dentists only trust a fraction of treats to be effective at cleaning teeth and safely protecting

them,” says Dr. Jan Bellows, veterinary dentist, diplomate and incoming president of the American Veterinary Dental College.

According to Dr. Bellows, it’s important for pet owners to understand which dental treats work effectively to eliminate plaque and tartar buildup and are safe for pet teeth.

“Some dental treats, especially real bones, are notorious for their low nutritional value and their hard textures, which can contribute to tooth fractures,” Dr. Bellows says.

Many consumers are accustomed to seeking out toothbrushes and toothpaste that carry the American Dental Association (ADA) seal of approval. And dental standards are equally as important for pets and their oral health.

Fortunately, there’s a governing body that confirms if dental treats work, using third-party testing. The Veterinary

Oral Health Council (VOHC) is similar in nature to the ADA but is applied to pet products.

Through stringent research and review, the VOHC determines which products on the market are effective. Greenies® Canine Dental Chews was the first brand of dental treats to receive the seal for plaque and tartar control and has been a pioneer in dental treats that meet VOHC standards.

“Walk into any pet store and you will find dozens of treats that claim to clean teeth,” Dr. Bellows says.

“While it’s easy to make teeth-cleaning claims, formulating a treat that significantly protects teeth is difficult. The VOHC seal is there to help veterinarians and pet owners recognize which products are proven to work.”

For more information about the Veterinary Oral Health Council, visit www. vohc.org. For further pet dental chews information, visit www.greenies.com.
