Odds & Ends By: Jamie Lynn Ryan

As we begin this second month of 2017, let us take stock of the year so far…

Mother Nature has been relatively kind, sparing us the worst of winter’s wrath and limiting the hazardous weather to one shovel-worthy pileup of the white stuff. Of course, history has shown February to be among the snowiest here on Long Island, so be forewarned. No matter what that little furry critter says tomorrow, we still have several weeks to go before we can start looking for crocuses.

Me, I just purchased three new books and am actually looking forward to some cozy, inclement weather to settle in and start reading. The beginning of the year may not be great for outdoor activities - although, it should be noted,

some of the most exquisite sunrises and sunsets tend to grace our skies during these month - but there are plenty of indoor hobbies to embrace, from movies to bowling to planetarium shows and more.

Speaking of pastimes, I was pleasantly surprised to receive quite a bit of feedback to last week’s column on the closing of my yoga studio, with many offering their recommendations for alternative locations and similarly touting the benefits of this spiritual practice.

Thank you to all who wrote in – it is certainly nice to know that there is an entire community of fellow “yogis” out there, and that many of you read my column weekly!

In line with that feedback, it also occurred to me that I never did share the arrival of a new little finned friend,

“Spud,” who I adopted back at the end of November. While no pet will ever come close to replacing my Buddy and our very special relationship, Spud is certainly an entertaining little fellow with a personality all his own.

Just a mere baby betta when I took him in, he is slowly growing into a beautiful boy with spikey blue fins and a penchant for darting to and fro and “playing” with his reflection. Spud’s swimming skills can use a little work, and I’m still crushing his food pellets into tiny, more manageable crumbs for his delicate system; but, overall, he seems to be adjusting to his new home quite nicely.

And with that, we head into February, hoping that each passing month brings with it a little more sunshine into our lives.

Glaucoma Awareness Month January is National Glaucoma Awareness Month, an important time to spread the word about the importance of taking care of your eyes.

The risk for vision loss and related complications increases with age. Some type of sight-threatening eye problem affects 1 in 6 adults 45 and older and Glaucoma is the second leading cause of blindness in the world, according to the World Health Organization.

Protecting your eyesight is vital to maintaining your overall quality of life and preventing the onset of glaucoma.

AgeWell New York encourages members to make their eyes a priority by following these few tips: Know your risk.

Conditions like diabetes, hypertension, nearsightedness, farsightedness, eye injury, or eye tumor, place you in a high risk. Be aware of your family history and get yourself screened regularly. Early onset of cataracts or glaucoma can be hereditary and early

detection is key.

Regular eye exams.

Adults 40- 65 should have their vision checked every one to two years; after 65, at least once a year.

Comprehensive dilated eye exams detect problems early, when they’re easier to treat. An eye exam also ensures your eyeglasses or contact lenses prescription is up to date.

Look for changes in your vision. Be cognoscente of noticeable changes such as double vision, hazy vision, difficulty seeing in low light conditions, red eyes, frequent flashes of light or eye pain and swelling.

Speak with your doctor immediately about these changes.

Exercise. According to the American Academy of Ophthalmology, regular exercise - such as walking can reduce the risk of age-related macular degeneration by up to 70%. Be cautious of heavy lifting or bending activities, especially if you have a chronic illness or disability.

Protect your eyes from harmful UV light. Always

wear sunglasses or a brimmed hat that shields your eyes from the sun.

This may help reduce your risk of cataracts and other eye problems.

Maintain a healthy diet. Studies have shown that antioxidants can possibly reduce the risk of cataracts. Load up on fruits, vegetables and omega-3. Dark green, yellow, and orange fruits and vegetables contain carotenoids, which may defend against several medical conditions, including glaucoma. Speak with your doctor about supplementing with eye vitamins to ensure you are getting adequate amounts of nutrients to keep your eyes healthy.

In observance of Martin Luther King Jr. Day, two Chatterton School classes in the Merrick Union Free School District volunteered their time to make peanut butter and jelly sandwiches for the food pantry at Bethel AME Church in Freeport on January 13th.

Prior to their day of service, the students in Dr. Cinnamon Green’s and Mrs. Angela Kremberg’s classes read biographies of Dr. King that recounted his life and his journey as a civil rights activist in pursuit of

a world where everyone is treated fairly. The classes were inspired by Dr. King’s well-known quote, “Life’s most persistent and urgent question is, ‘What are you doing for others?’”

As a way to carry on Dr. King’s legacy, the students employed their culinary skills to make 119 sandwiches for community residents in need. Wearing hairnets and plastic gloves, they prepared the sandwiches and packaged them for the local food pantry.

“By studying Dr. King’s

message and participating in this act of service, the students are learning that helping others is a rewarding experience and should happen throughout the year,” said Mrs. Kremberg.

Both classes said they felt honored to give back and help others.

Dr. Green and Mrs. Kremberg thanked all the parents who donated loaves of bread, jars of peanut and jelly, and zip-close bags to help students experience a day of service and giving.

Inspiring the Community Students, parents, staff and administrators in the East Meadow School District experienced an evening of resilience, empowerment and hope when singer/songwriter Jared Campbell led an ACCESS Workshop on January 17th.

Sponsored by the East Meadow PTA Council in conjunction with the East Meadow Kiwanis, the concert took place at the Leon J. Campo Salisbury Center, where Campbell performed songs containing powerful stories.

The singer/ guitarist also visited all of

the district’s elementary schools over the course of the week to share positive messages with the students.

“Music has the ability to transcend words,” said Campbell, who visits schools across the country on national tours. “I want my music to leave an impact on kids and get them to think about how they’re treating one another, what they’re going after in life and how to work together.”

Campbell kicked off the show with “Life Is Good,” an original song about focus. “As students grow

up and go through life, honing in on the power of focus is huge,” he said.

Among other tunes were “Change the World,” about looking out for others, and “Life I Haven’t Lived Yet,” conveying the importance of hard work and believing in oneself.

The audience was entertained by these and many other songs, often clapping along or echoing the lyrics.

Campbell discussed every song that he presented and encouraged attendees to think about the ways these messages could be applied to their own lives.

Making the Dream Work Woodland Middle School students in the East Meadow School District participated in a variety of team building activities on January 13th.

The Social Emotional Learning Club held a game-themed Mix It Up Day for sixth- and seventhgraders during their lunch periods to meet new people, develop their social skills and work in teams.

During their homeroom

period, the students received different colored bracelets that grouped them with new peers.

Together, they took part in activities inspired by board games such as Apples to Apples, Uno, Scrabble and Monopoly.

Across the hall, eighthgraders practiced their team building skills with exercises and gaming applications.

Working collaboratively to

accomplish a common goal, they participated in exercises such as human rock, paper, scissors and land mine travel, where teams had to direct their classmates across a field of “land mines” without stepping on a mine or bumping into another competitor. The students also teamed up to play the puzzle game Candy Crush.

SBU Trauma Center Injury Prevention and Outreach Coordinator Kristi Ladowski told students, “It is up to you to keep your own bodies safe and to become safety experts.”

During the program, the

students listened to safety tips, including wearing a helmet while riding a bicycle and wearing a seatbelt in the car. They also learned that the back seat is safest for children. After the educational portion of the program, the students dressed like doctors and nurses, bandaged up their teddy bears and stuffed animals and filled out a hospital file.

Kindergarten and third-grade students at the John Dinkelmeyer Elementary School in the North Bellmore School District recently worked together on an activity that combined literacy and engineering.

For the Just Right Challenge, kindergartners from Maryann Doherty’s class heard the wellknown children’s story,

“Goldilocks and the Three Bears.” They then split into groups and worked with third-graders from the Alpha program, under the direction of teacher Gayle Angert, to create “just right” beds for Goldilocks.

Before meeting with the kindergartners, thirdgraders sketched their ideas in their engineering design journals. Once together, the students were given a

including “Roll Back the Rocks,” “Tyrannosaurus Rex,” “Stegosaurus,” and the popular hit “Everyone Wants a Dinosaur.” Between each number, select students presented facts about these prehistoric creatures.

Principal Patricia Castine complemented the second-graders on their

performance and noted that their hard work and commitment to practice during recess twice a week since September exemplified the district’s core value of dedication.

“It takes a lot of hard work and teamwork to put on a successful show,” Ms. Castine said.

Ms. Emmer explained that through these techniques, her young artists learned about layering and perspective, as they had to create a background, middle ground and foreground.

She also incorporated technology into her lesson by using the SmartBoard to project images of desert scenes, so that students could get a visual feel for a biome that they typically don’t experience on Long Island.

Fifth-graders built on

the skills they had learned a year earlier by creating landscapes that paid homage to French artist Henri Rousseau. Similar to the fourth-graders, each student began by painting a watercolor background and making plants and other vegetation out of construction paper. The young artists then drew pictures of animals, real or imaginary, and combined all of the elements to create unique collages.

All About Dinosaurs

It’s a colorful time of year at Newbridge Road Elementary School in the North Bellmore School District, as students have been working on a variety of vibrant projects under the direction of art teacher Jill Emmer.

Fourth-graders have been creating desert landscapes. They started by using watercolor paints to create sunset sky backgrounds. With construction paper, the students cut shapes to add terrain, a sun and cactuses.

Runners Up Goodman led the jumpers going 16 feet, 7 inches, a personal best and a top long jump in Nassau.

Rodriguez, Goodman, Devon Bayer and Paige Sfiroudis dominated the long and triple jump events giving Calhoun the boost they needed.

Junior standout Katie Corona took second place in the 600m race, where she ran her personal best as well as earned eight points. Garbarino led the newly found race walkers to a necessary 15 points in the 1500m event.

Christina took second, senior Morgan Connelly took third and junior Lindsay Sheridan finished at sixth.

In the 4x400m relay race, Katie Corona got the team out to a solid lead and handed off to senior Olivia

Levy, who handed it off to sophomore Cody Dateno.

Dateno ran a solid, strong race keeping the team in first place. On anchor for Calhoun was freshman Elizabeth Tuzzolo. “[Tuzzolo] ran an amazingly strategic and fast race holding on to the lead at every turn helping Calhoun capture the 4x400m gold,” Migliano said.

Calhoun walked away with the runners-up plaque; something the Calhoun girls haven’t done in more than two decades.

“The girls represented their school, coaches and alumni with honor and proved to Nassau County that they are a program to be reckoned with,” Migliano added.

ESL for Adults will be held on February 2nd, 9th, 16th, 23rd, March 2nd, 9th, 16th and 23rd, at the East Northport Public Library,

Under the direction of class adviser Steve Benner, the students held a car wash in July 2016 and sold T-shirts to raise money for the PBAs’ Widow and Orphan Funds.

The fundraiser continued through the fall with the sale of more than 700

T-shirts, raising a total of $10,000.

“I couldn’t be more proud of the students,” Benner said.

“They all demonstrated commitment and teamwork, raising money for an excellent cause.”

Kicking to the Top The Wellington C. Mepham High School varsity kickline team in the Bellmore-Merrick Central High School District high kicked their way to the top at the NDA Regional Dance Competition held at Walt Whitman High School on January 21st.

“The team earned thirdplace honors in Small

Varsity Jazz, second place in Large Varsity Team Performance and first place in Large Varsity Pom,” explained coach Kerry Dennis.

“In addition, the team was named Grand Champions of the competition because their pom score was the highest score out of any category and division of

the competition,” Dennis said.

The squad will compete at the Scholastic Kickline Competition on Feb. 5 at Nassau Community College before traveling to Orlando, Florida for the NDA National Dance Competition on March 1st.

Sanford H. Calhoun High School’s girls track and field in the Bellmore-Merrick Central High School District recently competed and placed in the Conference Championships at Saint Anthony’s High School in Huntington.

Led by captains Cristin Rodriguez, Katie Goodman and Christina Garbarino, the girls started off slow as East Meadow dominated all the distance events, but then the sprints and field events began and this was Calhoun’s time to shine.

Rodriguez not only won the 55m hurdles, but also claimed her second conference title in the high jump; setting her personal best of 5 feet, the number two mark in all of Nassau County, explained coach Joseph Migliano.

Learning through Skype After reading the novel “Because of Mr. Terupt,” fifth-grade students in Tiffany Antonucci’s class at Saw Mill Road Elementary School in the North Bellmore School District were able to chat with the author, Rob Buyea.

Although they weren’t able to meet face-toface, technology still allowed the students to get an authentic learning experience. The class held a videoconference with Buyea using Skype.

The students all prepared

questions for the author, who appeared on the SmartBoard, and they interacted during a question and answer session.

The novel is about a year in the life of a fifthgrade class at Snow Hill School, told through the eyes of seven students.

Ms. Antonucci’s students used the book to learn about character traits, plot structure, point of view, character change and theme.

“Each student, as well

as myself, fell in love with this novel and we also felt truly connected to the characters and story line,” Ms. Antonucci said. “They thoroughly enjoyed the information Mr. Buyea shared with us as a writer.

He left us with some powerful food for thought: ‘You must read, read, read, because all great writers are good readers and all good readers are great writers.’ It’s what we adopted as words to live by in our class this year.”

Making Paper A typical student uses a lot of paper in school, but probably doesn’t think too much about where it came from. Sixth-graders at Park Avenue Elementary School in the North Bellmore School District found out, as they made their own recycled paper during a recent science project.

Led by teacher Amanda

DiMonda, the students began by shredding old newspapers. They combined the paper with boiled water and cornstarch, mixed the items together, spread it out on aluminum foil and flattened it. The new paper was left to dry overnight and was ready for students to use the next day.

The students have been studying earth science and learning about the global climate change. Ms. DiMonda said the purpose of the recycling project was to show students how they can make a more positive impact on the environment.

Since the fall, 20 Winthrop Avenue students in the Bellmore School District have gathered during recess to perfect their roles and singing skills in the CharACTer drama titled “From the Inside Out.” The students held two flawless performances of the Teresa Jennings’s drama, adapted by Mallory Cogen and Marjorie Falabella, which sent the message

that everyone is their own life architect for who they want to become.

Under the direction of music teacher Erica Davis, the cast sang catchy songs and gave readings inspiring the audience to internalize their feelings, weather storms and utilize the leadership principles and core values emphasized by the district.

“Through this CharACTer drama, we

are teaching students a positive way to think and inspiring them to become better people,” Ms. Cogen said.

Ms. Falabella also noted that through the students’ determination, teamwork and commitment, their performance already embodied leadership principles and core values taught by Bellmore Schools.

The town’s corps of VITA volunteers is ready to provide senior citizens and residents with limited income with free income tax return filing services.

Sponsored by the Town of Hempstead’s Department of Senior Enrichment under the auspices of the Internal Revenue Service, VITA tax preparers are trained in the latest changes in the tax laws and assigned to local libraries and senior centers throughout the ten-week filing period.

“For more than 40 years, Hempstead’s VITA volunteers have provided an invaluable service to our

residents, helping them to obtain the maximum allowable refund,” stated Santino. “Our dedicated VITA volunteers will be assigned to one of the town’s 18 sites, beginning February 6th through April 17th.”

Participants must bring last year’s tax return (2015), all wage, Social Security and earning statements (W-2 and 1099, and 1095, if applicable), all interest, dividend, capital gains, IRAs, annuities and pension statements, 2016 property tax receipts, STAR exemption records, itemized expense records, social security cards and photo identification of all those filing tax returns.

Most VITA sites require that an appointment is made in advance. Many of the VITA locations are

equipped to electronically file tax returns. Please note that VITA tax assistants are volunteers and are not required to prepare complicated returns.

“The Town of Hempstead continues to meet the needs of its citizens through innovative programs like VITA,” said Santino. “I encourage any senior citizen or resident with limited income who is interested in having his or her tax return prepared to take advantage of this excellent, free service.”

To view the VITA program schedule, please visit the town’s website ToH.LI or bit.ly/tohliVITA or call the Department of Senior Enrichment at 516.485.8100 for further assistance.

Honor Society Inductees Wantagh High School’s National Honor Society inducted 107 new members during a traditional candlelighting ceremony, held in the auditorium on January 18th. The evening featured words of wisdom from administrators and staff, musical interludes by the high school’s string chamber ensemble and the singing of the national anthem by Alexa Sgroi.

Superintendent of Schools Maureen Goldberg noted that the inductees have made choices and sacrifices to reach this pinnacle of success, and challenged the students to continue on this path of achievement. “The challenge is not to rest on your laurels, but to strive to achieve loftier goals,”

she said.

Principal Carolyn Breivogel congratulated the students for having achieved this honor and noted that they have demonstrated honor, as well as the instinct to choose between action and inaction. “It’s the small things you do every day that signifies your character,” she said. Keynote speaker Gina Federico spoke about how volunteering empowers volunteers to discover new horizons.

“Step outside your comfort zone and continue to learn about your world, others and yourself,” she said.

NHS recording secretary Sandra Re and trustees John Bush, Abigail Cullen and Lauren Dougherty lit the ceremonial candles,

representing the tenets of scholarship, leadership, service, character and citizenship, prior to the induction of new members.

With the candles lit, the inductees were asked by co-vice presidents Grace Sullivan and Thomas Sullivan to raise their right hand and recite the National Honor Society Pledge before being called to the stage to receive their certificates.

NHS co-presidents Benjamin Steinberg and Christina Weir congratulated the inductees and offered words of advice. “Take this milestone and make it a part of you,” Benjamin said.

Christina also advised the inductees to “never place a limit on your dreams.”

Shelter Support items for the Town of Hempstead Animal Shelter.

The club is seeking food, treats, blankets, beds and toys, as well as baby bottles to feed newborn kittens.

“This is important because it gives dogs and cats something nice while they wait to be adopted,” said sixth-grader Nicholas Saunders.

SADD students promoted

the pet supply drive by creating posters to hang throughout the school, making announcements and encouraging their classmates to donate.

This activity supports the club’s mission to have students make positive contributions to their HONOR SOCIETY INDUCTEES - Officers and trustees of the Wantagh High School community.

Faculty Variety Show On Friday, February 3rd, the BellmoreMerrick Central High School District will host its first district faculty variety show, “The Faculty Follies.”

This fundraising event will help raise money for the new Community Cupboard.

The evening will feature live performances by a wide range of staff members representing each of the

six schools as well as central administration.

Students from the district’s Ambassador Program will serve as the emcees for the show.

“This is another example of students and faculty coming together in the spirit of One Voice, One Message,” said Cheryl Fontana, director of the fine & performing arts. “The Student Ambassadors have done tremendous work

building the Community Cupboard. This night of entertainment is the faculty’s way of helping to support their initiative.”

The show will be held at 7 p.m. in the Wellington C. Mepham High School auditorium, located at 2401 Camp Avenue in Bellmore.

Tickets are $5 and can be purchased in each school starting Monday, January 30th as well as at the door.

Hitting Coach Visits Major League Texas Rangers hitting coach Anthony Iapoce recently spent time with Division Avenue High School players on the baseball team. Head coach Tom Tuttle and his staff for the annual winter clinic, hosted by Levittown West Little League, invited Iapoce.

Iapoce discussed the

mental approach to hitting, as well as his experience working with professional players. The student-players then practiced various drills including hitting, fielding and pitching.

Coach Tuttle noted that Iapoce’s visit had a major impact on the players, who gained insight into the mental aspect of hitting

and key points on how to reach their potential as players. “It’s not often you can get a Major League hitting coach to visit a clinic during his off season,” Tuttle said.

“The Blue Dragon family, along with Levittown West Little League, can’t thank him enough for the great experience it gave our players.”

Winning Business Model Daniel Johnson and Justin Treiland, eighthgrade students at Wantagh Middle School, were the first place, proverbial $100,000 platinum winners of the business department’s Shark Tank Challenge for their project “Sports Imports.” The business would provide customers with a variety of sports jerseys and other paraphernalia at discounted prices. Madison Crandall and Julia Deedy were the second place, $75,000 gold winners for their business “Bake It,” and Emma Leavey and Gabriella Nogara were the third place, $50,000 silver winners for their business “Zippy.”

Under the direction of Nancy O’Connor, students enrolled in the

eighth-grade business management course were required to participate in a final project called “My Business Idea!” The students worked as sole proprietors or formed a partnership, corporation or nonprofit organization with fellow classmates.

The individual teams determined the business idea, name, logo and slogan, and startup costs and funding were researched. The students also created a website and completed a SWOT analysis to determine the company’s strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats and defined their target market and competition.

During the Entrepreneurial Challenge on January 20th, also called

the Shark Tank Challenge, students delivered a PowerPoint presentation detailing their companies to a panel of judges from local businesses. Included in their presentations were business cards, the description of a grandopening event and links to a charity organization.

“These Shark Tank Challenge projects have brought a significant amount of innovation and enthusiasm to the business management class,” Ms. O’Connor said.

“The students not only gained knowledge about the free enterprise system, they learned they can own their own business as long as they are willing to work hard and passionately.”

Advancing to State The Division Avenue High School chapter of DECA (Distributive Education Clubs of America), advised by Mark Engels, participated in the Nassau County Regional Competition at Freeport High School on January 7th. From the 25 student-members in grades 9-12 who entered the business competition, six will advance to the New York State Conference in Rochester

this coming March for their top placements in Food Marketing Series, Apparel and Accessories Marketing, Job Interview, Restaurant and Food Services Management and Automotive Services Marketing.

DECA is an extracurricular activity that helps to prepare future leaders and entrepreneurs through role-play competitions in business themed areas.

The Levittown School District congratulates Bhargava Arunachalam, Jacquelyn Devaney, Kayla Olivieri, Katherine Oswald, Matt Sochinsky and Jamal Zafar for having qualified to compete at the state level.

Additionally, DECA officers Matthew Evans, Amanda Jakubiak, Ian Kavanaugh, Alex Montoya, Shannon Pousson and Nicholas Weinert will accompany the team to Rochester.

On January 13th, Wellington C. Mepham High School students in the Bellmore-Merrick Central High School District joined other budding entrepreneurs from throughout the island to compete for the top spot at Long Island’s Regional Business Plan Competition, sponsored by HSBC. Teams representing

56 virtual enterprise companies from 42 high schools in both Nassau and Suffolk counties had their written business plans and oral presentations judged by industry professionals and educators at Farmingdale State College.

Mepham’s TruViewVR earned first-place honors for Most Enthusiastic Booth and Best Catalog at this year’s competitions.

“ Tr u V i e w V R ’s presentation team, consisting of Marquise Soto, Kevin Chaimowitz, Nick Girardi, Mike Smith, Mike Pioli and Jake Brief, performed brilliantly during the Business Plan Competition,” said Vice Principal Marie Netto.

They will continue on to the Trade Show Competition in April held in New York City.

Parent University As part of its mission to include parents in the learning process, the North Bellmore School District hosted a Parent University program, “The Parent’s Guide to Writer’s Workshop,” at Park Avenue Elementary School on January 19th.

Writer’s Workshop, through Schoolwide Inc.’s units of study, is a new initiative in the district that offers more personalized instruction through the use of writing conferences, mentor texts and leveled libraries. It focuses on narrative, informational and opinion writing, allowing students to become independent

writers through the selfselection of topics.

The Parent University program was led by Tillie McNamara, director of educational programs and staff development, and instructional coaches Amanda Licci, Cindy Quinn and Krista Zucker.

They discussed the type of writing instruction that children receive, the materials that are used, the editing and revision process and strategies and resources for parents to use at home. The presenters provided a list of books at each grade level that serve as examples of good writing.

Janet Pollitt, assistant

17

Earning Top Honors

superintendent for curriculum and instruction, said the goal was to bring parents into the district’s writing community, which already includes students, teachers and administrators.

Parents received their own writer’s notebooks and took part in writing exercises to experience the instruction their children receive.

“We are a writing community where we all partake in writing,” Ms. Pollitt said. “We wanted to bring the parents into the process to experience the joy of writing with us.”

31 YEARS IN PRACTICE • WHY GO ANYWHERE ELSE

Meet Your Neighbor!

Have you been avoiding the dentist because you’re uninsured and worried about the cost of dental care?

What if there was a dental plan that could save you up to 60% off your dental care costs with no gimmicks or restrictions?

What if that plan was just $99 a year?

Long Island’s own EDP Dental Plan is that plan!

For over 15 years, EDP has worked closely with thousands of local dentists. These EDP providers accept their reduced fee plan as an alternative to insurance so that patients will no longer avoid getting the necessary dental

care required due to the out-of-pocket cost.

EDP was created to give everyone access to quality dental care at an affordable price.

With EDP, there are no exclusions, so you can get the dental care you need right away.

EDP Dental Plan saves you money on routine care like x-rays and cleanings, as well as on more advanced care like root canals, oral surgery and tooth replacement procedures such as crowns and implants.

No matter what your dental care needs, EDP can help you find a professional dentist and reduce your out-of-pocket expense, with savings up to 60% off.

If you have been avoiding the dentist because you don’t have coverage and are worried about the cost, then call EDP today at 631.272.5230. Everyone is accepted with EDP Dental Plan, even if you have preexisting conditions!
